Grateful Dead

This show was great. Had to put a comment in just to mention the guest appearances. David Murray came out for Bird Song & played the rest of the show (almost the exact same way it worked w/ Branford Marsalis @ Nassau). Didn't know who he was, found out later that he was a jazz musician friend of Phil's(no surprise there). James Cotton came out for Lovelight & blew me away because I immediately recognized the legendary harmonica player for - among many others - the great Muddy Waters!!!! May be the best lovelight I saw. Afterward took the train from Penn station to MetroPark NJ. Forgot that the NJ troopers were notorious for watching the parking lot when the Dead were @ the Garden. My friend was driving this big green van so we were probably easy to spot. He was going to get a DWI until a food coloring bottle fell out of his girlfriends bra. Troopers wouldn't let him take the blame (it was his), & took her away. Her lawyer got her PTI & probation & told my friend that if it had been him he probably would have gotten at least 5 yrs. Anyway I'm rambling now & w/ the exception of what happened this show was a great experience I'll always treasure.

"Wharf Rat" was great.
