Tom and I had one off day to do the drive but it took us all of that and then some. We didn't arrive until early on that Tuesday June 12th. The plan was to meet up with Kidwell and my GF Fran as well as Murtha's crew was to be there. We wound up at the Days Inn in Golden where, of course, the place was packed with deadheads. When I called home on the 11th I was told that Fran couldn't make it, supposedly a term paper due or something, so she sent her sister Alice along with Kidwell in Chris' car. Tom and I had driven out to California in my brand spanking new white Honda Civic college graduation gift from my grandparents. The plan was to meet up at Red Rocks then after the shows all drive to Syracuse as the Toronto Canada's Wonderland shows were only 6 days from our departure date. By the time we were all in one room, we had three pairs of microphones and 5 Sony decks including Tom's brand new one replacing his beloved tour worn Marantz Superscope. The Grateful Dead roadies, sound crew and Robby Taylor all told by the band's new management to harsh out on the tapers this summer tour and it was absolute hell attempting to get gear in. Rock Scully never cared to stop the tapers nor did the band seem to care that much until this summer. On the first night, we had some crazy luck and wound up with two sets of mics and three decks inside. I was one who got turned away three times and simply gave up knowing Tom and Chris's mics were inside. There were only three sources on LMA until our two sources just made it up in 2019. I know at least 5-6 sets of mics were flying that night so not sure where others' copies are- unless they got ruined in the nasty weather conditions Day one had just slight rain/drizzle in the 4-6 PM hour after opening the park at about 2 PM. Every day of this run, it would be upper 80's almost 90 degrees then the clouds would come in and temperature would drop 20 degrees or more and it would either drizzle, rain or hail for 20-30 minutes, clouds roll away, sun back out and 90 degrees again! So even after the drizzle the crowd was in a reasonable mood and certainly ready for the show to start. This was the last year of the Dead's shows where the state park allowed the normal daytime park activities to go on, for instance rock climbers were allowed to climb up until 5 PM or something. Well, someone fell off the backside of the left rock and died. No one in the audience really knew about it until after the show. At the time I recall thinking it was a pretty good start to a three day run, but listening back I can say the band was in pretty good playing shape after their journey from Cali. A solid first set with a text book rendition of Me and My Uncle > Mexicali Blues giving way to a very nice and topical Looks Like Rain. The second set featured the infamous Scarlet > Touch, which must not have been played too much, if ever again, as a combination. A nice typical for that timeframe set followed and we all filed out of the amphitheatre to a cool mountain evening. Back in the motel I was wandering the halls when I met a person who was to become a great friend to me and a and serious influence on several of the executive crew. Gordon Merrick was standing in the hallway at the entrance from the parking lot handing out pens which had "Let the Four Winds Blow You Safely Home" inscribed on them.I think he noticed we were tapers and asked how it went, then wound up partying with us that evening and I guess for the rest of our lives! Gordon's love of the Grateful Dead and his passion for the people of the scene was palpable. We wound up all going our own ways during the other two days and show nights, but the connection to Gordon as he lived in Portland Maine and Chris did as well, plus Tom and Greg hailing from Maine instantly sealed all of our friendships. So many friendships, business partnerships, and even failed businesses resulted from all of our interactions between Gordon, our Maine crew, our Texas crew. He eventually spawned a rebirth of my acoustic research career in the late 1990's when we designed and marketed sound reduction doors for the high end recording studios which Gordon was installing phenomenal wood treatments in. Gordon Merrick, another giant crystal of a man, became part of the crew this night! shntool: length expanded size cdr WAVE problems fmt ratio filename 5:12.960 90132524 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7117 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d1t01.flac 4:03.893 70241324 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7171 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d1t02.flac 8:11.533 141561644 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7031 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d1t03.flac 7:44.467 133766444 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7135 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d1t04.flac 5:51.680 101283884 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7131 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d1t05.flac 2:53.467 49958444 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7150 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d1t06.flac 5:00.280 86480684 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7140 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d1t07.flac 8:02.093 138842924 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7054 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d1t08.flac 7:50.240 135429164 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7089 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d1t09.flac 4:06.690 71046734 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7244 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d1t10.flac 8:56.080 154391084 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7161 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d2t01.flac 5:58.387 103215404 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7321 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d2t02.flac 10:03.720 173871404 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7160 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d2t03.flac 9:49.013 169635884 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7210 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d2t04.flac 9:25.720 162927404 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6911 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d2t05.flac 8:43.547 150781484 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6712 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d2t06.flac 7:30.760 129818924 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7105 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d2t07.flac 8:41.520 150197804 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7074 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d2t08.flac 3:51.600 66700844 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7278 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d2t09.flac 4:18.373 74411564 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7344 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d2t10.flac 0:11.227 3233324 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6728 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d2t11.flac 4:48.743 83158100 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7336 gd1984-06-12mke2002-24d2t12.flac 141:15.993 2441086994 B 0.7112 (22 files) App\Http\Controllers\Api\FileDownloadController::download(): Return value must be of type string, none returned
