Last night wasn't a show, it was a wake, and the sermon given by Robert Hall Weir. Throwing stones: Weir sang over and over: "Papa's gone, we are on our own!" I have never seen such GUTS by any individual like a few thousand witnessed by four men, especially Weir. At the end of an unbelievable Knockin', Weir, in anger and pain, tossed his guitar to the ground and bolted, stage right! The last verse included, "why is it such a damn waste/ I believe I'm knockin' on Heaven's door." The Club Casino set up speakers outside in the parking lot for the ticketless, A grand Gesture. Before the set started Weir said "So, Our departed friend, if he proved anything to us, he proved that good music can make sad times better. We've got our.. We've got our work cut out for us this evening, so we'll just get started."** Wasserman's Amazing Grace solo was indescribable, with tears streaming down his face at it's bitterswet end. I have nothing but the deepest admiration for Bob Weir! He is a true brother! By all rights, he could have easily been in the Bay area, but he chose to play. He needed to get it out of his sytem. A true musician paying homage to family! A true soul!! At the end of Knockin' there were numerous chants of "JERRY! JERRY!" before it segued into the NFA chant for over 15 minutes!!!! I lost it at the end of knockin'. I broke down. And then the NFA chant! For a Deadhead, there was no place you'd rather be than in Hampton Beach--- author unknown

**I felt the true quote did the write up much more justice (ebh)
