the tour story:
I drove to East Troy Wisconsin from DFW after picking up Fran and spending the 4th with my mother and her partner setting out on the 5th, pretty early in the morning. We spent the night in Southern Illinois at a motel near a truck stop. That drive on the 6th was still long as anyone who has been to Alpine can attest to. The winding country roads heading North toward the venue packed with cars full of heads, locals were selling hot dogs and drinks from their yards. Tom and Sean had pavilion tickets and we had lawn tickets with the plan being meeting at set break if not before. There are two microphone sources, one with the Beyer m201's on the lawn and the other with the Beyer m88's from the pavilion.

Set 1 opens with a solid 'Iko-Iko', this one has some level setting by both Healy and us. It is a great lead-in to a fine set of cowboy tunes and a brilliant 'Bird Song > Let It Grow' ending. Those two were 25 minutes combined including some sweet harmonies by all three, with Bobby giving 'Let it Grow' the talking style vocals likely due to end of the tour vocal soreness. The 'Candyman' has some fine moments.

Set 2 'China > Rider' opener is a sweet romp through this fan favorite. I always think of 'China Cat Sunflower' as an Alpine Valley type tune; they played it at my first Alpine Valley show in 1982 is probably the reason. "The sun gonna shine" through Bob's back door some day! Both Bob's and Jerry's vocals are up top and emotive. A very pretty 'Ship of Fools' leads into a 'Women Are Smarter' which had the crowd thinking, "Wait, didn't they open with Iko?", then got into a slow almost reggae like bounce with that concrete floored wooden roofed pavilion seemingly shaking with all the dancing heads.

This is a crazy solid 'Dear Mr. Fantasy'! Played out of space, at this point in its' setlist evolution for the first time, according to my trusty Deadbase V. Brent and a soaring Jerry firing on ALL cylinders at the end jam. They seemed to orchestrate the tune closer to the Traffic version, with slow leads and great underpinning chords from Bobby. A slow, but aggressive Other One follows with Jerry fully at the helm underpinned by Phil's bouncing lead bass lines. They dropped into the second ever played Beatles' 'Why Don't We Do it in the Road?' following Black Peter with the crowd a bit confused at first; the whole thing was a bit sloppy while of course being great fun! The band was obviously amused or confused as they then jumped into a 30 second Fake out of 'Around + Around' which Deadbase titled 'Around Jam', annoting it as the only time played. This morphed into a spirited Sugar Magnolia closer. A wild night of car camping with a raging party of 20,000 deadheads in the Wisconsin Woods followed.
