What a way to end Fall Tour
What a way to end Fall Tour and the Boston Garden run-this one was like a 'thank you' from the boys. You can't beat a show where Box closes the first set and Dark Star opens the second. The second set was unique in that it radiated a mellow beauty that gave it a consistent sound throughout. I remember thinking that the jam before 'Saint' sounded like it wound its way from a certain place and back again, kind of like a horseshoe. And, listening to the recording later, I found that what I heard was the band playing a kind of 'Saint' theme for about 3 and 1/2 minutes that gets pretty crazy before seamlessly winding its way into the song with some beautiful playing from Bruce. The 'Bid You' was the perfect ending to this show, and a wonderful way to close out the tour.
Too many Saints on the Balcony
I was, ahem, "seated" on the big balcony across from the stage. And during "Saint", we all began jumping in unison ("holes in what's left of my reason...") and I coulda sworn we were gonna bring it down - you could see it flexing like crazy. Thank goodness the old Gahden had at least that much life left in her. A crazy scene, engraved in gold in my memory.
Two Fall Tours Ended With Dark Star
I was at the "Gardens" for end of fall tour '90 and '91 and got two Dark Stars. I had gotten sick for the MSG run and had to give up three nights of tickets so getting into boston was my miracle! After having seen the end of the fall tour the year prior I did not think i would get blessed twice. Thank you boys for a real good time!
Balcony
I was up there across from the stage, too. kweeks has it right. Dark Star was really special that night for me, it being my first one, and I'd seen my first show in 77. Dark Star and the spoked B's hanging there... woah.
