  • ★★★★★ · Hampton 88 · early 80's meltdown · 2005

    Apacolypse Now after the show, heavy stuff why not Cadyshack or Animal House. I got a little kick out of that because a couple a times if I went on short 2-3 state tour I would bring funny movies with like those above or for instance Fastimes at Ridgemont High and I was at my hotel after some Spectrum shows and I remember it went over a little to well, All kinds of Heads were wanting to come in and hang out and were offering nug and everything else some girls were getting a little crazy with…

  • ★★★★★ · Best show I was ever at · skywasyellowandthesunwasblue · 2005

    With the qualifier that my personal library of attended shows covers 1985-1995. Walked up to my best friend at the fountain the afternoon of this show. Gave him a big hug (the previous night was pretty smokin'). Said, "They're opening the second set with Sugar Magnolia tonight!" He said, "I know. The whole parking lot's talking about it." Guess we were all wrong since they opened with So What. LOL! As we were walking into the Hampton Coliseum, a rainbow was ending right on top of the Coliseum.

  • ★★★★★ · The most powerful experience... · schwadust · 2004

    ...I ever had at a show was the entire pre drums section of the second set...although the Eyes is a little rushed... The Scarlet>Fire was what I'd been hoping for all day, and I got it...man, did I get it...we all got it...Holy S***, that was amazing. The whole show rocks, but that was amazing...it was also my first experience up close and personal with the boys...I was 2 people from the stage in front of Jerry...man, what an amazingly energetic and magical night...if I could give that portion…
