Saint Stephen

With a rose.

I remember

very carefully listening/watching as they came out of the deep Space as I was obviously aware they had broken the Stephen out at MSG a few nights earlier.

The second that note was plucked I remember the place just lighting up like no other time. There were bright lights and the enthuisiasm level was incredible. People were hugging eachother and beaming smiles everywhere. A memory I'll always cherish

I personally think this is the best of the Stephens that were busted out on this run, too. It's just got a feel to it that is higher than the others. Probably due to my presence at this one, but still.

Maybe you had too much too fast

Maybe it was just me too, but there was a lot of unspoken communication going on that night. I was in this huge chain of Space wanderers who noodled past the front of the stage just as Stephen broke out. It was like being caught by a huge but gentle wave.

...I wish I had attended. I've listened to the China/Rider. It is strange, odd sounding. The band is on the edge going through this. The wind down from Playin to China Doll was exquisite. Space with Jerry and Bob (Spanish jam?) was alternately powerful and melancholy. And then St. Stephen. That crowd reaction had to be one of the great exaltations of their career. And...Brents keys on Thrown Stones and the perfect Jerry solo on Brokedown. Great, Great set.
