The "Death Threat"
The "Death Threat" show...house lights were on for 2nd Set. That was a first!
Yeah, those house lights were a serious drag, Spoondivy
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
Actually THAT was the night they handed out the QFA letter
The letter "written" by the band, signed by them that basically said Quit Fuckin' Around. The gate crashers and violence. Letter said that for years the organization had done its best in the task of getting large numbers of people together pretty painlessly. God, did they do that. And if things did not settle down, they would be forced off the road. HUGE thunderstorm that night west of St L. We drove through it back to Columbia right about the time the deck at the camp ground around there came down and hurt a bunch of folks were standing under it to escape the storm. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
Riverport July V 95
This was my first show as a Wharf rat ( heads in recovery ] . On a human anecodte , I am still a Wharfrat 12 years later [ no relapses hehe ] . I had been clean for 3 months , and my main objective was to see them In Riverport , since I lived in NE Iowa .
I took a friend whom I had gotten into the band , and was my NA sponsor [ NA and GD at the same time jaja ] .
We arrived as the band broke into the hot Stranger , that i can account on two DAT clones made with Nak 700s on the 14 th row . And another taper section Neuman ( i think ] recording .
Live the show was great , and on tape the show is a great memory of that awesome summer night .
The 1st advanced nicely . My first Peggy O [ id love to hear a board of it ] . Same thing , and a peppy rest of 1st set . All w a nice Childhoods end by Phil L
Second set opens with a very hot Aiko . Then we go into an ejoyable Playin , which goes into my first Crazy fingers [ which in statistics was the last one we heard ] . Corrina follows , and Drumspace get things roolling for the post drums , which is my favorite > GDTRFB - Stones - NFA , and the kind BMR encore
Please GD productions , shows like these could be part of a series of shows that are worthy of release ( edited or otherwise ]
Thanks folks for a real good time = )
An Honor To Hear Their Last and My First GDTRFB....
....and they rocked it well that night!
Sad Decline
Unfortunately, Jer had hit rock-bottom at this point. Couldn't play a lick. The rest of the boys pretty much carried the gigs from 92-95.
We left this show early and quite depressed.
Still feel the glow - what magic the Dead were / was
I wonder what it must ve been like to hear GDTRFB at the Bonner springs 91 show , or some of the 1971 classic GDTRFB s .
Just a comment w insight . When they broke out into that at Riverport , the place went f**n nuts . and then the Stones > NFA had the whole crowd in non stop fun .
That BMR encore was great , as it was my first show as a Wharf rat . The Sunday Chicago show , was an incredible blast also . Unfortunately bought counterfeit tix for the saturday 7 / 8 , and for me and my friend Jenna [ from South bend ) was a huge bummer . But at least we had real ticx for Sunday s
What a loing strange trip the Dead was . What a phenomenon of music they performed for our lucky heads and ears . Grateful to be alive and to be able to comment this , through the distance - from Chile ( South Amer ]
