Was gonnna say It was 1991... I parked in some guys yard for a high price. The show wasnt that great and my highlight was BG's speech confirming the same. I think the party that went on outside in the park was better....

I was sick the whole show.

It was a wierd scene as I remember. People were being held back in the stands so that they wouldn't come down onto the field . . . and there was plenty of room too.

I remember a little bit of Johnny Cleg who I'd seen on Johnny Carson the previous year . . . but that's about it.

However after the show we hitched to Disneyland still trippin' and had a great time at the happiest place on earth(second happiest if your counting dead shows)

yep, the year is wrong- was 1991

i had a great time at this show because this was one of only 2 times we had front row seats for the dead (just got them luck of the draw through mail order). we were right in front of bruce hornsby the whole time and he kept smiling at us. there was almost 10 feet between the front row and the stage and the security wasn't letting anyone without a ticket anywhere near the front like 50 rows, so we all had a huge, uncrowded area to bop around in. it was really spacious up in front and they just let the group of us dance all around the whole area. unlike other venues where you have security going back and forth the whole time or standing right in front of you or pushing you back or getting in your way. plus, i usually hate the way lots of other people suddenly "appear" in the front rows so you have like 2-3 per seat. it was really great and i LOVED it!! coincidentally, it was my 199th show...

This was 1991, fer sure.

the only show i saw this year, the first set was short but the playing was great and the song selection awesome, i was psyched for the second set. BIG disappointment, lousy song selection, like they were finishing the first set. playing was still great, i have it on CD and flac (might still be shn) but the only tune worth listening to in the 2nd is the black peter. Got some hilarious stories from the traffic jam on the 110/10 interchange heading into the show.

Nazi Security.

This was a massive show after seeing Weir and Wasserman about 4 days before in front of about 300 people at The Iron Horse Inn (where they stayed in the cabana next to mine) in Durango, CO.
The security we rough and in masse. I led a charge into the reserved section that grew into a sensational battle. It seemed to go on forever, but when I was put back in my seat, I realized that the opening song (Shakedown) was still playing. Very mediocre show in comparison to what they did at Giant's Stadium two weeks later.

Fences

Does any one remember the crashing down fences around the field. I was to high to run to the field.....security looked ugly...west la faded
