That scarlet fire was as good as it gets everything after was icing on the cake

Overwhelmed several times by the bands inspired play. Scarlet Fire unreal energy lifted the whole theatre. Jeff really nailed the second set. Thanks band and crew. Praise DSO.

Very extra good

I'd really like to hear some long distance running experiences from folks here there and everywhere or at least some highlights? I know we all have set out on Americas great roadways for one or three shows back when gas was under a dollar. And I've also been fortunate enough to hear travels with Dark Star through these forums and in person with you kind people. I think my longest and most trying was the Eel River 3 set show on August 29,1987. I went up and back without stopping. 21 hours to get there a half hour before the show, scoring my ounce of the prized Humboldt and to get the batteries and the blank tapes situated with my taping gear, great show then directly back in to my 79 collora right after to get back to Laramie for Monday morning class. Needless to say I had to find another recruit for the next excursion. I really went through lots of friends that wouldn't do it again. I always had the 3am-8am driving shifts and of course paid for their tickets, food, beverages, everything even a lay at the Mustang Ranch outside of Reno. Sounded good to the college kids of Wyoming when I asked if they were up for an all expense paid trip to California for the weekend (courtesy of the 40 dollar sheets) until they realized I meant only 3 days. Earlier in 87 was 32 hrs for the JGB Lawlor Events Center in Feb Totally worth getting my first Dixie Down equaling happy trails through the desert back to class for Monday morning, Wiltern March 13 and 14 also 87(couldn't miss a Friday the 13th after what happened at the upcoming recreation in Berzerkly on Fri the 13th in '84. The Alladin theater was when my cherry popped for 4/6/84~24 hrs RT one hell of a ChinaRyder and spaced into Eyes,with Bobby sitting on the edge of the stage swinging his legs during SSDD. Syracuse 10/20/84~ 22hrs RT,that town was decked out and all the houses seemed to have open doors for travellers to crash and got jack strawed...I could go on and on about 87 because the darkness of Jerry in a coma of '86 put a lot of people in "glad he's back and tjd the gotta see every show mentality ramped up when he recovered and returned. Please share some tales before you or this forum disappear. am interested ime other folks tales of highway hypnosis if got in you to share?

Scarlet Fire rewarded all the folks that did the drive. It would have been 8 1/2 hours each way which stopped my inquisition. Maybe this could be a new Random thought.
