what a great night. the best post-Brent show that I saw (# 2 is 5/31/92). The shakedown>samson was killer. Jerry was playing these really cool and unusual riffs during shakedown. after the 2nd set I ws thinking that Casey Jones would be the perfect encore for such a show.

and I also really dug Disco Duck. hey I was 11 years old. and did you know that Rick Dees still does the top 40 as as yndicated show every week (once again, I know this thanks to my daughter).

Having the last name that I do, Disco Duck was one of the songs I really hated.
