What a weekend. The only shows I ever attended in AZ.
Lot security were hard-faced Indians on horseback, at least to my recollection.
Very small venue (20,000) for the delay-speaker set up. The sound was better back on the hill than up front. Bobby loud in the mix and sounding great.
Why weren't the vocal monitors on at the beginning of Here Comes Sunshine? Hippies.

This was my second set of shows at Compton Terrace. One of the great lesser known venues. Highlight for me was holding my pregnant girlfriend in my arms at the top of the hill, watching the sunset and Jerry serenading us with Brokedown Palace. 24 years later and she's still my girl.

I was there and while I was
I was there and while I was happy that they busted out with HCS - the guitar player in me was disappointed in the re-arrangement of the tune that totally scratched the great Jerry intro lick interwoven with Bobby's arpeggios. And to boot all that Vince Welnick caliope keyboard tone was irksome to me. Still the spirit of the thing was cool.

Has it really been 24 years?
Has it really been 24 years? And where does the time go, afterall?
Those were the days: when hearing Phil sing a verse in Maggie's Farm seemed like such a treat; when Jerry's pealing solos in Althea or Playin' made all the traveling seem worth it. When an enterprising young college student could fly in with a qp of mushrooms get rid of it at bargain prices and pay for the whole trip, allegedly. Like a bunch of you, this was my second trip to Compton Terrace (first was two years earlier), and I was so happy to go back. An idyllic little venue--I wonder what it looks like now--we camped out and had a great time with many friends. Thought those days would never end.
Enjoying this stream now for the first time in a long while. I appreciate this thread.

Fun shows. Was in the front
Fun shows. Was in the front row for the HCS breakout show, with a good camera.
Had a friend who lived in Tempe so we all hung out there and raged the whole time.
I didn't hang in the lot so missed that action, but heard about a bunch of folks getting busted
for minor amounts of drugs.
i was living in Humboldt and went to these, the 5 Oakland shows and the two JGB shows
at the Warfield near the end of the month. Had to go back to Humboldt multiple times, and
later figured out it was about 3,200 miles of driving all together.
So glad I made it to all of those. Quite a month.

Just looked at a few photos and no, he was not wearing
a turtleneck; he was wearing a green long-sleeved shirt.
(Sleeves rolled up). I don't think he wore a turtleneck on stage
since '74.
