good bye brent, it was probably the last time the feds seen you to, remember the ones on top to the right of the stage with the 10 foot bionoculars.
The morning after
The morning after this show my wife and I picked up a copy of the local paper on our way back to Washington State. There was a story about the Dead. The head of the Eugene police was quoted as saying there had been almost no problems with the attendees. He said he would rather deal with 10 Grateful Dead shows than with the drunks and violent fans at a single University of Oregon football game.
And yet shortly afterwards the Dead were banned from Autzen for three years. Go figure.
As for the show itself, my top memory is Jerry in the encore, doing the best Brokedown Palace I ever heard.
