I remember that one. My cassette copy is the actual Westwood one broadcast. Listening to the host explain what's going on is priceless.

Also, I would love to see a bootleg of Weir smashing his guitar in half at Eugene 1993. I was not there but all reviewers point to weir going nuts during Jack straw and smashing the shi* out of his axe.

Oh man--there's a hoedown at the 24-hour-gym. "Bobby thpit on me!" Heh.

Just playing around. . . .

I still say nothing says "Bobby" like a tight pink Izod and daisy dukes. Step back from the mic as the verse ends, tilt the chin and flash the smile-- classic.

What I still want to know is, what's with the knickers and argyle here? "Phillip, old boy, shall we go another round?"

Was at this show and it was on Pay Per View as well as the first show I recall them having the big video screens at, so it seems obvious Bob was trying to impress everyone with his technical a fashion prowess in one fell swoop.

Haven't you realized that its only the fall and winter of 79 that now gets me hot and bothered? C'mon, let's pay attention here.

How many times have we heard Jerry say "Bob's having a little trouble with his STUFF"?

My God. I have to tell you guys, I have heard reference to them, and I think seen an occasional "still shot" (ahem) of them, BUT this is the first time I have ever seen them in action! I had no idea they were so short.

I also had not seen the boys this late in their history. Boy, Jerry had gotten large. And old. And at this point he was younger than I am, and I look like crap.

Thanks, T.
