    This was my first and only GD concert. Poor europeans. Before that I'd seen the GD at Rockpalast on german TV in 1981. In 1990 I was very familiar with rock 'n' roll concerts in german venues, especially Zappa, who visited Germany periodical. At that night in Essen I wondered where all these barefooted people - male and female - in long hippie garment are coming from. Now mark it was 1990 and it was october - pretty cold in Germany at that time.

    My first show of the tour - I missed Stockholm, and didn't get to London, but saw the rest. Was living in Europe, going through Dead withdrawal (although made more then bearable by hanging around with all of the 20 or so of the Swiss deadheads), when the Dead decided to follow me. Coming up the escalators to the venue, suddenly transforming from a fairly dreary environment to the magic of the deadworld, running into old friends I hadn't seen for years, primed me for a great show.
