Incredible middle show of
Incredible middle show of the three-night Hampton '88 run. Smoking hot first set which included the breakouts "Ballad of a Thin Man" and "To Lay Me Down". Second set continued along in the same smoking vein with 5 song pre-drumz barrage into a scary quadraphonic Drumz>Space with Micky working "The Beam" that shook the entire building, into a classic 80's post-space GDTRFB>Miracle>Fantasy>Sunshine Daydream, topped off by a celebratory US Blues encore. Incredible... and there was still one more Hampton show yet to come!!! This was first real GD road trip, driving down from NJ with my brother and his girlfriend at the age of 15. Good times indeed.
The Glorious End Of The "Fire On The Mountain Conspiricy"
I had been seeing shows for 4 years and every night I'd go the person that shot Kennedy from the grassy knoll would go to the band and say "He that guy Sal is here don't do "Fire" tonight.
If I was seeing all the shows in New Jersey and Philadelphia, they'd do it at the shows between in Maryland. I'd get to the show and look over my copy of "Duprees Diamond News" and there it'd be.
Well if I had to wait for one, this was the one to wait for
