Show Notes:
The Shoreline, what more can be said about the infamous amphitheatre built on top of an old landfill? Oh yeah, the parking situation and
the attendants are NOT cool.
Recording Notes:
This was quite a "spacey" show with many guest sit-ins all the way around...recording quality is near gem/mint with just a hint of
crackly distortion due to being so damn close to the stack. Not a lemon in the bunch, the hour zoomed by like 15 minutes. Bruce Hornsby
on "Boomer's Story" was a nice treat, and "Come On Baby" was right on the money. The post show jam was for the most part sans Crowes
(again, this is the home base of the Dead, so proper respects were paid by the headliner). "The Other Ones", "Good Lovin'" and "Turn On
Your Lovelight" were the post-show jam songs, and the only Crowe involvement was a turned down Marc and Ed on "Lovelight". As an aside,
Marc sat in with Ratdog for "Looks Like Rain" (Bonnie Raitt and Dave Ellis also sat in at different times during Ratdog's set)
Chris-ism:
During Nonfiction..."I like to dress up like Bruce Hornsby"
