On the way into this show, my buddy Matt looks up at the Cap Centre and says, "They're gonna do a Dark Star tonight," and I'm like, "Get the f*** out of here," shaking my head. I still didn't believe him even during the Corinna jam when you could kind of hear it emerging. Then they played it, and I said "Good call." He did the exact same thing a couple of months later at the first night in Richfield, when we were walking in. I said, "You always think you know when they're gonna play it," but he was right again. Thing is, he never called it when they didn't play it. Must've been his third eye or something.

i went to this show solo (my crew had to a) goto work or b) goto school). met some very cool folks in the shopping center before the lots opened and in the lots. Saw my first "bad cop, no donut" sticker- it got a vendor out of a hassle b/c he had the sticker and gave two to da man.

i remember being underwhelmed by the first & second sets (which, looking at the first, i don't know why). i knew it was bobby's turn for the encore, but had no idea what he'd play. never in a million years would i've seen the "satisfaction" coming.BLEW THE ROOF OFF! i don't think i heard a single word bobby sang since the place was screaming along w/ the song. that encore made the show for me. the ride back to philly was a breeze w/ the shit eatin' grin on my face...
