Back stage - On stage
Geohuntr - This was an unbelievable experience for me and a few friends. An old high school buddy had moved to Petaluma, CA and started a glass blowing studeo. I think some of the Dead were just down the road - anyway he knew some of them. He was also a great pilot. He flew a few of us to Eugene, OR with backstage passes to this concert. So we were right up front for the Outlaws & Santana - wow! Than I think some woman named Virginia? Ok'd it for us to go up on the stage - we stood just to the left of Garcia; behind the amps. There were about 4 of us and a couple other guys; I think Ken Kesey's brother. Beautiful day and great crowd. It was incredable to see Garcia playing right next to us. Nobody shot any pictures - I would love to have a photo of the band/stage taken that day.
This was a swell show. I
This was a swell show. I danced untill my feet cramped up and just kept dancing. Carlos Santana had entered his Devadip phase and this would lay the spiritual foundation that keeps him going today. I remember Phil dropping the bombs during the space section that seemed to make way for the finale and cleared the house of any non believers.I then went to my first and last Rainbow gathering in the Umpquah National Forest.
On paper, this show's second
On paper, this show's second set looks like a clone of 6/4/78 as there is only one song difference (The Dead never did this since the 60s when their setlists contained little variation). However, the playing at each show is much different so both shows are worth the listen.
My sisters moving out to
