Subject: Disconnect
I think there is a disconnect here between the experience of the show and the quality of performance. I went to this one. I was like 17 and my brother was 15, newbies. They had an old school bus that took you from the parking lot to the ski area. Some older head most have been amused by our newbiness so he dosed us when we got off the bus. I don't remember much after that until I came back to reality later on a big rock. There was a lot of freaky stuff going on at that show! But even in my altered state, I could tell the band was laboring. They seemed a little worn out by the heat and altitude. Still, this one has a lot of good memories associated with it for me. I remember we rode up with some stupid girls who played simon & garfunkel all the way from LA (not that there is anything wrong with that). The scenery was just amazingly gorgeous.

i was there, had fun with all my tahoe city/donner lake friends, but this show in on way on any scale other than the fun someone have deserve a 5. Thus, a 1 to bring some sanity back to the rating system (or should we just label every GD show a 5?)

Subject: Highest show ever
This was my first show and WOW. Also my first trip. First time for a lot of things. My experienced deadhead cousin turned me on. Drove up the day before and spent the night in the woods around a campfire with about 20 folks from San Fran sharing tales. These 2 guys just handed me what they called 5 hits of purple gels. That morning i bit me off a piece of that KitKat bar, and remember beautiful scenery, beautiful people and good music. There was such a long pause between sets that i took the other 4. Don't remember what was real or not after that. I was up against the stage in front of Jerry hanging on for dear life. Big dust swirls that contained the music. Hot . Bunch of amp kicking on stage. I kept looking back at the big ass crowd that was there. i remember crazies had climbed all the ski lift poles. Very strange surreal atmosphere. The best show ever.

Subject: tall pines, soft trip & slide
this show had less to do with the sound than the experience it offered to a 21 year old deadhead. it clearly stands out as one of the best times i ever had a dead show. i wish all those folks who gave this show a negative review in the other post could have been with us. yes, it was hot, the highway patrol was out in true force. we were pulled over for drinking & driving, and let go. -:)after we poured out our wine-coolers. (yep, wine coolers!), the alpine slide, and the ride to the top (anything but a soft-trip)-the boys played their hearts out, and worked twice as hard at giving us their best under the circumstances of a crappy sound system during the first set. though, if you were riding the waves of a pretty good trip, then the sound only added to the allure of the boys already trippy sound. on the way out, some mountain man in a blue van had a black panther on a leash. after all these years, this still stands out as one of the best. thank you jerry, mickey, bobby, billy, phil & brent. the 2nd summit scheduled for august 17th, 1986 never happened.
