Funny - I was at Bonner Springs (ie Sandstone) in 1991 - great show. It was my second and last, the first was at UNO in 1988. I thought the Kansas show was quite a bit better, the acoustics certainly were anyway.

Pretty sure HeadyBrosevelt was born during one of their shows at the Greek Theater. Rev delivered him. I heard by age 5 he was selling gooballs at Deer Creek. Dude is fam as they come, ask him.

I've seen dozens of GD shows dating back to Summer 1984. In 1986-87, I was a FR at LSU and said Fugget and went on tour. Best Outdoor venue - Alpine Valley as it never disappointed. Indoors, saw 4 shows at the Philly Spectrum which provided lots of great memories. My only regret, I was offered a backstage pass to Soldier Field July 1995. I told my buddies "No" because I had just started dating a girl who invited me to Destin No one expected 8-9-95 to happen as we thought the fat man would live forever

I was at this 3 night run. Bruce Hornsby played with them one night, which was awesome.

Saw 'em in '67 in the Panhandle. Death of the Hippie March. Grooved on some Owsley Sunshine with the Pranksters, Diggers, and Hells Angels. Heard some groovy speeches from the likes of Timothy Leary and Allen Ginsburg. Grateful Dead played that day. Was special.

Closest I ever came was roaming Shakedown Street at the Memphis 1995 show. I was 13 and went with a friend and his older brother.

I'd like to see that one get an official release...it's one of my favorite SBDs of '91. Is that the same show Jerry took a smoke break during one of Bobby's songs? If so, I'm guessing it was during Good Lovin', since Jerry's playing seems MIA until the solo. I'd heard that Jerry felt he was in the zone during a stretch of music & wanted to keep the momentum going, and got pissed when Weir overruled him, hence the smoke break. If that was the same show, I don't blame him...he tore up that GDTRFB right before Good Lovin'. Would've liked to have heard that convo backstage
