I think it was during the Stagger Lee at this show when a bunch of fence jumpers came over the wall. We were way in the back pretty much at the wall. Whatever show it was a ticketless dirtbag jumped over and into me hooting and hollering. He seemed really proud of what he did and giving the scene a bad name. He probably thought he was sticking it to the man when he was really sticking it to the band.

Fairly solid show all the way around. 1994 had some great moments and this show was one of them. The first set was good, highlights for me would be Stranger & Loose Lucy. Bertha closer was cool as well. Second set was solid, the outro to He's Gone was really cool. Jerry really knocked my socks off with Stella Blue. This was the first time I'd heard him really belt it out at the end, vocally and musically. I know there are several other versions of Stella from this year where he really turned it on, but this was my first exposure to it. Goose bumps and shivers were felt by many of us who were there. I even saw some folks wiping tears from their faces. Maybe Jerry was still riding high from his recent marriage to Deborah Koons, because all three of these shows were high energy and solidly performed. A rare treat in the Dead's final hour.

Cus you've got this just exactly perfect. It was during Stagger Lee and it had to be a monster bummer to be a band member and look out and see that happening. All those people thought they were so cool- and were actually being cheered on by some already inside. It was my first show in 11 years, and 21 years since my first, and after this night I concluded the scene had changed a great deal. Hippie chicks, out in the lot, standing on top of VW busses saying 'sex for a ticket' as we walked in was my first clue.

The first set closing Bertha was the hardest rocking version of this song I have ever heard. Just remarkable.
