listened through set 1 and set 2 through drumz so far today.
one of my all time favorite attended shows without a doubt.

     This board is so crystal its one of the few dead shows i always end up turning up waaaay louder than any other show i listen to.
Generally considered one of the best post-Brent shows i think.   I personally believe this might be Vince's best show with the band, and Jerry was tuned in for the entire run, so...

    The first set is wonderful, and the tight jamming of the Let It Grow 1st set closer  hints at the  X-Factor fueled segue-fest to come.
Dark Star was a genuine surprise bundle of joy, perhaps in tribute to the large sign held up the 1st two nights with the year/month/day/hour since the last Philly Dark Star.
    Post space song selection this night was definitely the letdown of the entire run, but considering the preceding  heavy hitter  50+ minutes non stop  thru space that was such a rare occasion... well we just had something to look forward to the next night.

notably:
post show of the 2nd nite instead of headin back down 95 to our hotee we went down to the huge hotel megaplex with the Denny's in teh middle of it, right south of philly.
one of the best post show scenes ever, aka Sodom and Gomorrah.
coming down from our trips late night someone decided to cop a bag of china white  :shakehead:
later in the room after those fateful 1st bumps i  sketched up the  setlists from the 1st 2 nites:


the final nite's list and doodle were added on the 15th apparently.

so, 3 for 3 in 93... not easy to come by in the Vince era, but ALL 3 shows were on point. It was all about Jerry being in a good space.

    by Tues night the 'tourist' crowd was long gone; tickets were basically free; and HELp>SLIP>FRANK was a Lock.
this night i definitely remember eating some of the best acid i ever had.
We parked in the 'park' parking lot on the west side of the Spectrum...
i believe this was the day i grabbed a long sleeve, turquoise ribbed tie dye that became my best  friend... :-o

the show was bangin. i still have a good idea of how the Spectrum felt inside that night and it was wonderful.
Brokedown closed... and we all wondered out into the Philly lot tripping...tripping...
...the east side fenced in Nitrous lot seemed like an apocalyptic wasteland, and then the Gestapo moved in to clear the unwashed masses from the venue as quick as possible.
I wondered back to the Park and ended up on a swingset Peaking physically and spirtually,,,,up up up...

Spacce and Slomaar reappeared and as we gathered around the AEROSTAAR i asked: "OK, So who is Tripping the LEAST?"
it was me.  :-D

and into the night>>down I-95, ::TRIPPING ballz:: i drove.
As space and slomar fell around teh back of the minivan i played bootlegs to keep me awake, but whenever the music picked up i would speed and whenever it mellowed i would slow down... basically going between 5-105mph on the Jersey turnpike.
eventually i had to give it a rest and Demanded an exit!! :crazy:
unfortunately we somehow found one of those exits that didnt have a re-entrance to the freeway, lol


so... about 3am or so slim and friends ended up 'winging it' across the Jersey/PA countryside looking for the highway...

Jace cut me a breather eventually and got us back on the road to Richmond... by the time we passed FRED-burg i think we thought we had it in the bag and cut off for one final break at the last rest stop b4 Richmond about the time the sun was coming up.
Randomly a Richmond kid we knew was at the same stop and he just happned to have a nitrous tank that needed to be drained, so... we got spun one last time before heading back into reality...
but that wasnt the end for SL!m...


i dropped Space and Slomar back home and stopped by a friends apt in Rich. to crash for the night before heading back to Williamsburg.
the next morning my buds took off for work and i waked and baked with their roomate before heading out...

so, obviously i was still Mega-spun from the shows and i remember being in super high spirits...
then somehow this dude i barely knew,  but was old friends with my good friends, told me he needed a 'ride out of town'  :?
from what i recall he told me something along the lines of there was a warrant out for his arrest and the cops would be snaggin him up from some 'drug-related' offense or whatever.
  Being completely on could nine/; ' i love everyone', etc, i was like: "dude, i'm headed out of town and i'll get you outta dodge no problemo"

cut to a few hours later and this person and me end up at my dorm room in williamsburg...
seriously at the time everything seemed KOSHER... i think we even hit a party of my friends up and perhaps that was when i discovered this dude's face was on the fucking news... ((been so long, details shady)), but once we were back at my place i think he started to feed me lies and tell me he was really being hunted by the FBI, but he Never told me why.
   eventually things started to get real tense and he gave me a bunch of acid and smoke before he was gonna take off... i flushed the L, and smoked the smoke :smoke:
\about that time some Federal NINJAS  busted down my door and through the windows, lol.
dude had dashed into the closet  :roll:  but the jig was up.

i had no fucking idea wTF was going on... still spun from the Philly run by a mile, lol.
next day my buds call my from RIChmond and tell me they had been the ones to rat the dude out and direct them in my direction to find him...
apparently this guy had been a child molester for years and noone knew. it was a really fucking sad scene and i was apparently charged with aiding and abbeting a federal fugitive b/c this guy had done this horrible shit while biking cross country.
they let me off since i was clearly clueless and had basically just given this guy a ride without knowing anything he had done.

and that's how the story ends kids. :-)

[mistercharlie]

That was a helluva run for you, Slim! Great stories all around.
