OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was the first Grateful Dead show after Bill Graham's death from the helicopter crash. It was a very somber night, and they opened with 'Sugar Magnolia' in honor of Graham, as it was Bill's favorite Dead song. 'Mona' was a treat to hear. I'd never seen Gary Duncan, from Quicksilver Messenger Service before, and Carlos is always special. I finally managed to drag Shane, my best friend from high school, along to a Dead show, and as I was setting up the recording gear in the tapers section he turned to me and said 'This looks too much like work!' I smiled and said that it wasn't work, it was fun. He had fun watching all the deadheads but still just doesn't get it. I guess the bus came by but he didn't get on.

I was up and back from SLO County to the Bay Area three times in a row that week. Once for this show, once for the 10/31/91 Halloween show, and once for the Bridge Benefit on Saturday night followed by the Bill Graham memorial concert in Golden Gate Park on Sunday. It was quite a week!
