I showed up late night in
I showed up late night in Chicago for the following day's show, and this show had fried the brains of everyone I asked about it that night. I asked what they played and all I could get out of 'em was "I think they played Aiko!"
James Cotton sat in during the second set and must have erased everyone's minds with his harmonica.
". . . Music is the best!" (fz)
Standard 1st set / Hot 2nd
The first set just didn't seem to flow. But when the boys came out for the 2nd, they were on fire. Steve Miller and James Cotton sat in on Iko, Schoolgirl, and later on for Lovelight and Gloria. BTW, the Lovelight / E: Gloria were the best closers I've heard live to date. Absolutely smokin'
Thank you Chicago!
Still feeling tired after PA. I got off the plane and got a ride to Jerry's art show in downtown. I got a glass a champaign and got back on my feet again. I had 20 something row seats for the show and got there early. Not many people were there for SMB so I went up front and got some great pics (which I cant find damn it!) Once he did his thing and the place filled up we started to remove the seats (yes that was me with the lighter burning all the zip-tyes and folding the chairs in a stack so we could all dance in section A lol...) Nice 1st set but it was the 2nd set that was excellent. James Cotton and Stevie "Guitar" Miller.... After PA, hearing So Many Roads brought tears to my eyes. Thanks Chicago!
My last show
This was the last time I saw them. It got to be too much with the number of people and I had to play hookie from work and life events made it impossible to keep going. I had already lived the best moments possible so I layed it to rest.
1st Show
15 years old, starry eyed, felt like I had landed on my home planet, touched by the music and the energy ever since, still trucking to shows, hope the boys are gonna rock n roll together real soon.
Absolute belter
Terrific hometown gig, great guest drop-in from James Cotton on the harp. Nice shots from the Pranksters' movie on the vid screens during "Brown-Eyed Women," and the "Drums" with the freight train thing coming out of the speakers and on the vid was mad fun, completely out of nowhere and in the finest Prankster tradition.
My only "Gloria," too --just a fabulous show. Ranks as one of my personal favorites, and I can't praise it too highly.
:D :D :D
My first show, I was 13 yrs
My first show, I was 13 yrs old, my Deadhead uncle brought me after my mom told him he couldn't.
Searching for CD's or better yet MP3s
I attended very few shows due to life events, but this was one of them. I am fairly lost with flac files and music downloads, but was hoping to find some MP3s to select shows so that I can chuck the cassettes. Specifically, I'm looking for the following and would be happy to negotiate reimbursement for cds by Paypal or better yet MP3:
1. Deer Creek Ampitheater, Noblesville, IN- July 15, 1989
2. Sandstone Ampitheater, Bonner Springs, KS July 4, 1990
3. Sandstone Ampitheater, Bonner Springs, KS
June 24th and 25th, 1991
4. Soldier Field, Chicago June 25th, 26th, 1992
5. Deer Creak Ampitheater June 28th, 29th 1992.
6.Red Rocks, Morrison CO 9/7/85
7.Fillmore East, NY 4/28/71
8.Dillon Gym, Princeton, NJ 4/17/71
9. Jerry's show January 24, 1986 - Constitution Hall after he allegedly got out of jail
10. Hampton Colliseum, Hampton VA 10/9/89
Please write in here if you can help me out. I really don't have much to share, but would love to switch these out for cds or better yet MP3s. I hope this post doesn't offend anyone, but I didn't know where else to turn. Please forgive me!

Chi-Town
Headed to Chicago for the weekend, as I had business there on Monday. James Cotten was excellent - G L O R I A - was a treat. Great to head down the entrance to the field like the Monsters of the Midway. A few months later I ran into some one with some tapes and he sent me one of this show for the price of the cassettes. He also encouraged me to listen to this new band I had heard about, but never heard. That band: Phish.
Great Show
What I remeber the most about this... Besides the Psychedelic Train in drums and James Cotton, was during the 2nd set. It was a very clear night in Chicago and then 1 cloud appeared above us. I was in a Life Drawing class at the time so I was used to seeing naked models quite a bit. This cloud that formed was a perfect head, shoulder, breast and torso of a woman kinda laying on her side. With almost perfect timing, Bob broke into "This must be Heaven, Tonight I cross the line, You must be the Angel I thought I might never find" Maybe it was the blotto, and maybe I wasn't the only one who saw it.
