Was there. Hot as hell. Phil checking his equipment at like 7:30 in the morning. Band came on at 9:30. Decent but not earthshaking show. As Mickey said they didn't kiss the sky but was still good.
Maybe 400,000 for the whole weekend but not one day. Next year 83 had close to 400,000 on Saturday, the Heavy Metal day. Night before was Mick Jones last show with the Clash. .Powerful performance.

Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple and creator of the Apple I and Apple II personal computers, believed that the 1970s were the "Me" generation. He intended the US Festivals, with Bill Graham's participation, to encourage the 1980s to be more community-oriented and combine technology with rock music. The first was held Labor Day weekend in September 1982, and the second was less than nine months later, over Memorial Day weekend in May 1983.
Wozniak paid for the bulldozing and construction[9] of a new open-air field venue as well as the construction of an enormous state-of-the-art temporary stage at Glen Helen Regional Park near Devore, San Bernardino, California, just south of the junction of Interstates 15 and 215 (This site was later to become home to Blockbuster Pavilion—now Glen Helen Amphitheater—the largest amphitheatre in the United States as of 2007). The festival stage has resided at Disneyland in Anaheim since 1985, and has operated under various names and functions as the Videopolis dance club, the Videopolis Theatre, and the Fantasyland Theater.
Labor Day Weekend, 1982
The festival ran for three days in early September in 110 °F (43 °C) weather; there were 36 arrests, and a reported twelve drug overdoses. One "associated" murder of a hitchhiker occurred the day after the event. The festival lost a reported $12 million, and total attendance for the three days was about 400,000. The price for a three-day ticket was $37.50.
The US festival featured the first implementation of the U.S.-Soviet Space Bridge, a two-way satellite hookup between the United States and the Soviet Union. Organizers had planned to have the US Festival and Soviet rock fans interact as a way to promote goodwill between the Cold War rivals, but it was too dark in California for cameras to pick up the festivalgoers when the link went live.
Guess they had plenty of time to get a good night's rest. The previous show had been a week before in Seattle, and the next show was four days later in New Orleans.
Playin' In The Band-> Shakedown Street-> Minglewood Blues, Samson & Delilah, China Cat Sunflower-> I Know You Rider

I don't recall seeing that Ibanez with the nice inlay that Weir's playing before. He's getting a good tone out of it in Minglewood. Wonder what became of it?
Dave it was a one-off Ibanez custom made for Bob in 1976, unofficially called “cowboy fancy”. Word is he has played it recently, but I couldn’t tell you where or which shows.
Released commercially as Ibanez BWM1 in 2015. $8,000.
”That name comes from an answer Weir gave to Jeff Hasselberger of Ibanez who had asked him what he would like a guitar to look like. Referring to the often ornate inlays on the guitars of the old Country and Western stars, Weir replied, "Let's go for the full cowboy fancy," and so Full Cowboy Fancy it was. The word "Ace" on the fretboard refers to Weir's nickname, which comes from his first solo album of the same name.
The Cowboy Fancy shape was intended to be a compromise between a Gibson ES345, which Bob was playing at the time, and the Ibanez artist. One of the requests by Bob Weir was for a larger headstock than the prior smaller and more ornate Weir model headstocks so as to increase sustain. Hasselberger came up with the Ibanez 3-on-a-side design, which ultimately made its way into smaller versions for the George Benson guitars and other Ibanez jazz guitars. The explanation for the multitude of switches on the recreation also comes from what Bob Weir wanted in the Cowboy Fancy models. Said Jeff Hasselberger in an online reply as to the origins of the guitar: "We made a couple of the 'cowboy' models with a number of switching combos that were constantly going under the surgeon's soldering iron. Basically, Bob wanted as much flexibility of pickup selection as we could deliver. So he had a choice of single coils, series humbuckers, parallel humbuckers, phase reversals and so on. We also used the standard Artist EQ system on at least one of them."
The first Cowboy Fancy guitars featured a sliding middle pickup. Eventually Weir found the position he liked best and that became the ultimate position in the fixed pickup model.
R.I.P. Tommy Ramone, but he wasn't playing with the Ramones in 1982 That was Marky Ramone (Marc Bell) on drums that day, and he is still alive. I strongly recommend his autobiography fromn 2015, "Punk Rock Blitzkrieg: My Life As A Ramone".
Funny interview with Marky Ramone and John Lydon insulting each other. Also Henry Rollins and Duff McKagan and others. Johnny Rotten being a real wanker!
Federal time for MJ importation. I got money laundering charges. Glad I am not in there now as this disease is rampant. I was in Terminal Island (Long Beach) & they have a 65% infection rate.
Terminal Island. Capone, Manson and Leary, Owsley and Flora Purim were there. Bummer, but your free now. How long? Could have been worse places to be I suppose.

I was there & had fun. My last festival before Federal Prison (began in November, 1982).
My last show before prison was "Your Arm Is Too Short To Box With God" in New York with Al Green & Pattie LaBelle (early October,1982).
My wife flew with me from San Francisco to New York where we vacationed for a week before going to Federal Court in Cincinnati, Ohio for sentencing.
