8/31/85 Manor Downs, TX.

Awesome show, but HOT. It was outdoors at a racetrack. Ate 5 grams of mushrooms and had a bad trip. Missed the first set!

July 31, 1971, Yale Bowl, New Haven CT

Thousands of folks without tickets outside the venue had a riot. The unique thing about Yale Bowl was the sloped sides of the stadium with grass growing on them - you could climb right up and go over the side.

Whenever a head made it over the side, a cop would start heading for him/her, but then everyone between the cop & the culprit would stand up, making pursuit impossible.

We didn't know about the riot until we got outside & saw the overturned police cars and smelled the teargas.

Calling it a memorable night doesn't do it justice! Oh yeah - the show was amazing!

8-23-87 at Calaveras County Fairgrounds, home of the celebrated jumping frog!

Santana opened for the boys.

Phil dropped the Box of Rain bomb to open and the mushrooms kicked in. Truly amazing night.

Nothing else mattered anymore, just had to see them again and again and again...
