We were aware of the Adam Katz situation and those yellow jacket security guys we were supposed to stay away from. I was in college at Tufts in Boston and I hopped a train and make it to my first show. I then rejoined the tour at Philly for my second show at the Spectrum soon after. Nothing like a Darkstar to begin the second set... I got on the bus that day...

This Fishman copy has kinda low levels. Good, not great sound on this one. It's still better than Todd Evans FOB copy of set two. The levels on that one are super low, sucking all the punch out of the recording. Oh, and a great show.

I'll be the first here I guess. Much has already been said in other places about the last great stretch in the band's history (spring 89 to Brent's death). The atmosphere this night was electric to say the least. I was in the taper's pit recording. The level of anticipation was positively giddy. Everyone in the house knew what was coming in the 2nd set. When those opening notes rang out and the place erupted, all of us in the tapers' pit silently smiled, nodded, gave silent high 5s, even gentle, brotherly hugs.

I don't care what any purists want to say about Dark Stars after '74 (or 72 or 69 or whatever). It was a special moment never to be forgotten.
