This was my first show. I was 20 at the time. I was living in Hot Springs, Ar...had just lost my job, my roomates ran off with all my possessions, and soon after, my landlord evicted me...so it was a blessing that I met a band of folks heading to this show. I had nothing to lose anymore and talked them into letting me go with them. Looking back it was a classic experience.

Thanks to my friend Tim Silven who got on line many hours prior to the show, we were in a primo spot just several "rows/blankets" from the stage. Unless we had access to the tapers who recorded the show, at the time our only internet was gopher or usenetgroups to find setlists. There was no accessibility to show downloads or listening.. I recall posting to rec.music.gdead the fact that the second set was amazing. Then, as now, folks questioned and denigrated personal opinion.
