A teammate of mine's dad was in charge of t-shirt security in the parking lot for that weekend. I was 19, in college, and needed some work. I agreed to come work this show, knowing zero about the band or its following.

I could not believe what I saw when we pulled into the parking lot at Soldier Field. Our job was to confiscate any shirts sold out there with any sort of copywright infringement. I hated it from the start. It just felt wrong. I felt like I was stealing. Immediately, I began sabotoging our efforts. I just couldn't stand to see these good folks getting their livelihoods ripped.

I got free access to the shows as a result. I went in to the first show that weekend and from the start, I was drawn in. By the end of the weekend, I was all about it. I took in every show I could and every tape I could get my hands on. I miss those days.

Howdy,

this was a birthday show for me. I just graduated from college this summer and off to the shows. I had taper tickets for this run and all the other shows. Taper tickets didn't really mean anything at soldier field becuase we were all the way in the back. The front of board taping was the best in stadiums, Deer Creek was decent for it's size.

I remember some really wierd things about this run. The whole first set it rained hard, all the tapers put thier D3's and my new at the time sony D-7 into plastic bags, inside the backpack, umbrellas over the mics. Many tapers simply didn't record until the rain stopped about the last song of the first set. I remember pulling a extra dry shirt (bootleg at that) out my back pack and everybody around me had envy. Of course , the hardcore dancers didn't care. The second set opened with "box of rain" appropriately.

However, there were some really wierd stuff that come over the PA about a baby being born, and some NBA commentary beucase the bulls were going to win the championship that night. Everybody thought the place would riot becuase of the games after the show was over. I thought the next night was more pychedelic with a long "deal" , "china cat" of which phil just pedals the tonic for a long time during the intro, and the elusive "other one" that hinted dark star theme at one point...the "other one" wasn't played that much during summer of 93. I can't remember which night it was but there was thick fog at one point during the first set becuase of the rain.

Rained cats and dogs! I look over and the dye from my buddies hat is dripping all over his face. He had no clue! He was wondering why everyone was looking at him weird. When I finally told him we laughed our asses off! Danced in the rain all night. GOOD TIMES!
