Last Show For Me....
Booo....but I remember the Dew like it was still playing....
Disappointing Run
But so much fun. I really had a lot of fun in Vegas baby.Guess the last night was the best musically, and there was a gem or two embedded.
Race and Dew were good this night.
Cheers!

“The Omnipotent Grateful Dead!”
MY ONLY DEW
I went to like 30 shows and only caught one Dew. Jerry's guitar roared and I swear the Dew echoed in the desert for like an hour after the show. Maybe it was the liquid.
Vegas!
Not the greatest show, sure, but lots of fun, Very HOT, Jerry was in shorts (!) and I remember he looked good, actually bantered with the band for a sec, joking about the heat, lots of smiles and moving with the music. Dave Matthews Band blew my freakin' mind, but like Los55 said, maybe it was the liquid:)
marriage
These were a lot of fun. I remember in the set break somebody was like, "those people are getting married!'' Yea, right!!! Sure enough I look up to the left and in the bleachers there was an entire wedding party. Then the bride and groom strolled around the venue. I was crackin' up. I bet their together forever!!
ah pass the bodies up to the front, ...(Bob)"yeah we collect em"
nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile...
The dew was unreal, it was hotter then the dessert heat. Smokin song that I'll never forget. I think I may have deficated in my pants when they played the race is on. On my bus I use to have plates that read RAC IS ON... I loved it.
If i recall correctly, its been a long time, but this is the show they sprayed the crowd with fire hoses and we cheered for more.. jerry wasn't just in shorts, he was also barefoot, I thought that was super cool.
That china/rider was great and so was the last time, wow that blew me away. The second set may have been a tad slow, but the dew made up for it. ..I feel tears rollin up deep inside..I still cant believe I heard the race is on *LIVE*.
went with todd steele and bryan hooper (oh the balloons)
cshrocksthedead is looking for TODD STEELE or BRYAN HOOPER if you know them or know their whereabouts I sure would appreciate your help finding my lost friends... GOOD FRIENDS ARE HARD TO FIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ************************************************************************ csheil@live.com
Comin from Philly and
Comin from Philly and traveling around in a camper for six days out west three days of the dead. It was a trip of a lifetime. Thanks Bill
does no one remember the traffic jam?
One way in, folks, 110 degree heat, we waited on the road for HOURS -- missed Dave, of course, and half the first set -- for what should have been a twenty or thirty minute drive from the Strip . People just started turning off their cars, locking the doors, and climbing out, and walking the last five miles! So many "family" girls and guys wearing bells and feathers in their hair dancing by on the road's shoulder having a BLAST! It was a party, all right, but frustrating, that we were MISSING the show. We finally parked, and still had to walk about a mile to get to the show, traversing moon scape type terrain in that heat. And once we got in, the sun was even more relentless in that pit with all those drunk people. Not the finest show either, but still has good memories!!!! Glad I was there.
traffic jam
Hey, banjomama. I think i was in the car behind you. That is the memory of my very last show - missing half of it. I didn't remember that the DMB even performed since we missed it. Thankfully, I was not yet a bit fan - am now though.
Without Mornin Dew, the show was really forgettable for me. I would love to hear that version of Dew again just to see if it was really as good as I remember. if anyone knows how to access it or if its even out there somewhere, please let me know.
The Dew. Ice cold morning
The Dew. Ice cold morning dews. They flew outta my cooler after this show!!!
1st and Only Show for me....
I was the pregnant girl that passed out and got carried across the stage after Dave Mathews finished. I guess Jerry talking was a rare event, luckily I didn't loose consciousness for that! ;)
My last show
I remember them playing "Last Time", and for me (and many other's) it was the last time. The one good thing that came out of this is that I am now also a Phish-head. Love you Jerry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Day two
Missed most of Dave Mathews in the parking lot. The boys were warming up with the temperature. Morning Dew was the highlight of the night for me. Thanks mikeadelic for the memory of the wedding party, that was fun. The big screens with the closeups of Jerry still haunt me.
Attended and it was my birthday
My first Vegas shows since '92 and we went to all 3. This was a crazy day, I was out of my head and it was my birthday. We were pretty close to the stage and I remember meeting several other folks hanging out nearby who share the same birthday. The Morning Dew was unreal - as though Garcia woke from a coma for that one. The funny thing was that my friend and I themed the week-end with "whatever happens, It doesn't matter." (thank you for the Picasso Moon, & Dew)
