What an emotional show to be at. It was like being at a wake in some ways. We went down early and hung out in the parking lot just to hang with friends and Dead family. It was just over a week after Jer's death and everyone had heavy hearts.

By the time Knockin' began there wasn't a dry eye in the house ... even the band. I remember Bobby just getting choked up and basically dropping his grey acoustic and leaving the stage just before the end of the song.

Out in the lot after the show we got to shake his hand as he was getting on his bus. He was giving hugs and really taking in the love from the fans. I looked in the bus when I walked by and saw massive smoke clouds inside around Bob and his wife.

It was really sad seeing how much Bobby was hurting. It must have been incredibly hard to play the Hampton Casino shows the day of Jer's death, and these first Ratdog shows so close as well.

Thanks for posting this. I want to listen, but will do so when I've got a chance to really soak it in.

Still missing you Jerry
