The Grateful Dead, Buckeye Lake Music Center, Hebron, Ohio (6/25/1988)

Part of my Original Master Rescue Project.

Surprisingly (to me), this is a rare original master recording; no SBDs I know of, only 2 on Archive.org, none I could find on bt.etree. Outdoor, clean. There were tapers around me, man!  I remember!  No, really!

Ok, maybe I don't really remember a whole ton. I  remember it was a very, very hot day, and I got wicked sunburned, and I remember we had to be careful not to get the water we poured on ourselves on the equipment, or let it bake: I remember blue-and-white striped towels over the decks, and under umbrellas.

I was enjoying my last day of being 24.  I remember a large, vaguely slanted field.  Not sure if my memory of the FOB crowd having a water hose gently arced over them is from this show or not.

There was  a tree some distance away (one); a lot of people wanted it's shade. New versions of (2nd?) "Foolish Heart", 2nd "Blow Away" and 2nd "Victim or the Crime."  Bruce Hornsby opens the show, and plays accordion, which was even-for-the-Dead odd, lots of sidelong looks at each other in the taper's section... on Sugaree, and Stuck Inside of Mobile With Those Memphis Blues Again.  Frankly, I like the new songs here a lot, partly because Phil seems to be dropping it so much.
