the tour story:
What a long drive from Sacramento California to Denver/Golden Colorado! 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 Superscoope.

The Grateful Dead roadies, sound crew and Robbie Taylor were 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 rarely cared to stop the tapers nor did the band seem to care that much until this summer. On the first night, we had resorted to Sean's idea of putting a $500 Sony recorder in a Ritz cracker box inside a paper bag full of food (food, cans, no bottles were allowed) as well as hiding 2 D5's in double plastic bags UNDER the bags of ice in our cooler. We also had Lynn carry in a tape deck under her dress as if she was pregnant. Alice Walsh, my ex-wife's sister, was on tour with us and she wore a mic stand under her dress this day. The job had to get done, and we did it! 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 of the weekend.

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 activites 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 second set followed then we all filed out of the amphitheatre to a cool mountain evening.
