==================================================================================
John lived in a great old Long Island "Blue Collar" town, Farmingdale. His house he inherited from his mother was near the downtown and some shops including a stereotypical Jewish deli. I always enjoyed going there when visiting John and of course with a large crew staying at his house we went there for food. Showing Eric around town was fun, then we had to rest up to gather enough energy to make it through night three. This was a Friday night and tickets were so hard to get. Eric tells two stories about tickets at this venue and his description of the ticket "brokers" is accurate. They were very professional and mobbed up looking; it was Long Island after all. And a John Scher event to boot, so ticket graft was rampant. This also meant the crew was a bit later to get inside and on the floor, so we were about 10 feet farther back than the previous nights.

For most of these large shows we would have one person carry nothing but the mic stand and walk or half-run fast onto the floor to establish the spot. Then we would each arrive with our backpacks having been thoroughly searched, especially for this first East Coast OTS run.

The Cold Rain and Snow opener is hard hitting and the tour throat was starting to affect Jerry but the band was sounding great on their third day of residence in Hempstead. Then a mic stand was rushed up to between Jerry and Bob while Matthew Kelly appeared onstage with his harp for Meet Me at the Bottom/I Ain't Superstitious. Some great interplay between Garcia, Weir, Lesh and Kelly on the tune. It sounds as if both Jerry and Bobby did some slide work on the tunes. Of historical note, and in the fileset, is an article about an incident which happened about this time when Billy Kreutzmann had punched Kelly in the balls after being shorted cash by "road manager" Kelly for a Kingfish gig. On the video of this night, Mickey is seen throwing multiple drumsticks at Matthew Kelly, and all these yeras later puttung the two incidents together it can be seen the drummers were hassling Kelly for a specific reason! ++ They then did this instrumental jam out of Friend of the Devil which sounds a lot like Supplication and has been labeled such by Deadbase; it was quite a nice first set jam sequence.

Second set Bobby comes out and says, "I want a bumper sticker tht says Phil Loves New York" to enthusiastic applause; I would bet they were printed up and sold in the lot that night! Opening with Terrapin Station was unique and started off a stilted pre drums which had unusual song placement of Going Down the Road Feeling Bad which they offered as an eight minute country stomp with a crazy two minute jam sequence at its' end. That led into an odd Brent lament, Baby What You Want Me to Do and it seemed Jerry wasn't into it but they played it bluesy with some fine Brent B3 playing. The post drums was standard fare with a nice Wharf Rat but Jerry was certainly a bit off altough the Brokedown Palace has solid vocals with a bit of a freebase growl. All in all a great run at the Brokedown Palace of Nassau Coliseum marking the first time an official taping section was involved. The massive presence of our crew, and the overall tone of the GA nature of these shows has always stood out in my memories.
