Comments
Of my 80 shows, this was my
Of my 80 shows, this was my favorite and my only Dark Star. This was the night Jerry married Mountain Girl.
This was an all time blast.
This was an all time blast. My second set of New Years shows. They played on and on and on. The set list was just incredible. This was by far the best Jerry performance that I have ever seen.
Best Brent New Year's
Great Shakedown opener - with Jerry and Brent playing off each other like nobody's business.
The Playing > Terrapin > Playing Reprise > Drums > Jam > Other One > Not Fade Away > Going Down the Road Feeling Bad > Morning Dew may comprise one of the best second sets ever, and easily one of the best NYE's - amazing flow and perfection - the band and the Shabda X-Factor are one. And then you've got the Dark Star > Bertha > Good Lovin' for the icing on the cake. Ohhh yeahhhhhh.
breakfast at dawn
i think this was the last year BGP served us breakfast after the show was over.
I really loved this one
it was great to be there and I played the tapes till they fell apart, pretty much.
