Overlooked due to the preceeding night but excellent all the same. 1st set rocked, nice BS>Music not to leave out the Shakedown. Best Ship of fools i saw. Was up in the last row and it felt like we were rocking on the open seas. Very cool. Micky got bent because Jerry cut of the drums for Terrapin, nice big communal hug with GSLovin. Very Good energy show, get it if you can.

The Bird Song is very, very good
-BoB


with the earthquake the night before, we wern't sure if they were even going to play. a distortion filled shakedown was a nod to the quake. bird song and music never stopped were highlights too.

You can catch this one on nugs.net in the "free stash area"
Brent was on fire for the entire show with vocal highligts in Stranger and Good Lovin where he does a nice prolonged scream.
-Perrin



this show rocked. we danced all night and when jerry started us blues he was wearing a red/white and blue top-hat; or maybe he wasn't.

Wild Terrapin. got very spacey towards the end. The Gimme Some Lovin started off pretty shot, but came together in time to explode into Watchtower. The Watchtower had a certain vibe to it that i hadn't felt in previous versions. really intense distortion rifts from jerry throughout which melt so smoothly into an emotionally driven Black Peter. The Good Lovin' took the crowd out on a mellow note. then US Blues always closes great shows with a bang.

Surprising they played this show considering it was after the loma prieta quake hit San Fran. but then again, they were probably told there was no way they could get into the city anyway. My Parents were in San Fransisco when the quake hit. They've told me some wild stories over the years about buildings collapsing and people gettin really banged up. The four days before this show musta felt like the worst in a while. Adam Katz was killed by security and then a few days later their home town is devestaded by one of the worst quakes in modern america. Just a bad time in history. Great show to compensate for that though. if the world around you isn't vibin, then you might as well go where the good ones are.

Perfect example of a great late era show, even though the first set is only 6 songs it's great, fantastic Shakedown. Second set smokes, except Women are Smarter never liked that one.
