Great show, took the BART from SF where I had gone for the annual meeting of the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges (no joke) and everyone else thought it was hip to be in SF for Halloween, but my wife and I had long since made plans to be in Oakland. What others aren't reporting however is that this was also the week of the terrible fires in the Oakland Hills that had killed something like 23 people, including the kid brother of a woman I worked with, a young cop trying to get people…

first time i heard this show. i mean the first time i really heard this show was a rainy day, i was over a friends house. this kid had some amazing mushrooms so we decided to pick a random show with a good setlist and let dead do their work. Well I felt like i lived and died my entire life and am now back living my second chance. Kesey opened up my head pulled out my brain, mashed it around a little bit and then exposed me to the most intense elements any human being can experience.
