Guest captain420 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 08/24/72 Berkeley Community Theater - Berkeley, CA Set 1: Promised Land Sugaree Jack Straw China Cat Sunflower I Know You Rider Me And My Uncle Bird Song Beat It On Down The Line Tennessee Jed Playin' In The Band Casey Jones Set 2: Mississippi Half-Step Mexicali Blues Brown-Eyed Women Truckin' Dark Star Morning Dew Sugar Magnolia Ramble On Rose Greatest Story Ever Told Sing Me Back Home One More Saturday Night Encore: Uncle John's Band FILLER: 2nd That WELL...ahem! Bobby came and picked me up from work in my volvo and we headed out, me with no ticket, but we would get there early enough so I could try for a miracle or something.. he brought his GPS to navigate. It said to turn a little earlier than I remember looking at on google maps...I said oh well, a different route...scenic. Sure enough, scenic! But when we started to go down the road and there was no one in sight and no tracks on the road but mine..hmm, a nice route, no traffic...I thought.........Until, we hit the ROAD CLOSED sign...FUCK!!!!!! we should have realized it with no one else on the road!!!!!! oh well, we are a little past Leadville we can find another route than going back to I-70.......wrong. So I hauled balls to the show, luckily I didn't get a speeding ticket...but, I did get a warning from a cop in Leadville (on the way back through) for having my brights on in town..no worries, back on the road...go speed racer, GO! We get to Aspen and park, and physically RUN to the show, I can hear a jam from outside. Bobby gets his ticket and I walk up to a few gentlemen who are holding up a ticket, here's my chance. I said, "Hey man, I need that!" He said, "For 20 push-ups." I'm on the ground and counting aloud.1,2,3,....20! His buddy decides that's not enough, "How about a joke" Me, "I can't think of a good joke right now" - Out of breath from RUNNING to the show>20 push-ups! "OK" he says, "How about a dance" I do an Irish jig...he approves--ticket in-hand! Made it in during Playin', in time for the turn-around...nice sound, I always liked the more intimate settings. What a Long Strange Trip.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Dstone5553 Posted April 3, 2009 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 One of my favorite transitions ever on this show's D Star into Dew. Whoever is playing strings--cello-- (from NRPS?) leads Phil and and Garcia into the Morning Dew--it's an incredible couple minutes of pure magic. Anytime I see the numbers 824, I think of this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
