jamaica! what a gig....
5 days of blue mountain coffee, 20$ for a bag of eye medicine, lobster thermidor fer $7.50 american, no venue seats, danced on tennis ball size rocks, got rained on, had a dog taco, napped on a bed of gravel, concert security was army recruits with loaded carbines, nude beach across from hotel - 50¢:] ice cold red stripe for a buck, i'm still searching for a copy of this show!! all in alll, one of the best "experiences" that could have been had in the dead world!! fer shur. ranks up with red rocks and alpine as the real deal. i missed europe and egypt but have that special hankering for venue magic that used to be the norm.... a show like this one in the states at a regular place was no big deal but after flying on fully loaded jet with 280 deadheads from across the country and smoking enuff herb to float there we arrived in heaven. every room in town was booked. every shirt was tie-dye! every flight in had itz own parking lot section of sales and whatever.... man, what gig! not much hoopla since. it kinda blended into the distance... and that pesky 7$ fee/tax/charge and birth cert. to leave the airport had a lot of folks selling whatever they had left and/or calling back home for identification. i got a 70$ watch fer 7 bucks:) it lasted a few weeks... but these memories will last a lifetime:] i'm glad i had a kodak instamatic that proves i got the best tan of my life in just 3 days, inside AND out.
