Compared to the previous show
Compared to the previous show (RFK) and the exquisite playing in the following 3 (Buffalo, Dear Creek 2x), this show tends to get a bit lost in the shuffle.
Set I may be somewhat perfunctory but the set II Eyes opener hits the stratosphere and they don't look back.

Seemed like it took forever for the band to warm up and reach terminal velocity at this show but they could have played another hour with epic results.

I was thinking that and I am the same age. Shit..... It it certainly fucked up that he was that fucked up and was able to play as good(cough) as he did.
I was on the floor --- my ex friend had just acid puked close the soundboard and Healy was screaming his shitty mind at us.
Brent looked like a skeleton. It was easy to see that he wouldn't be long for the world.

Living in CA and went back to visit family and hit Buffalo and Deer Creek, which was great.
I was glad not to have dealt with this cluster fuck.

The parking and stadium was a dust bowl. The only water at the show was shot out of the cannons.... 'take a step back'.
Just spun and hot --- that was the crowd that day. '90 that paper and liquid was HOT and tended to fuck with many that imbibed.

It's still up there, Turtle, but it's only 480p. I'm having a hard time reconciling gratitude with bandwidth parsimony.

Strawbud, that first night
Strawbud, that first night was the best show I saw that year, and the next night was no slouch either.
Was just reminded this was the first Midwest HSF since '84, and they were on it.
I had just bought a Dodge Diplomat NY State Police detective car to drive out to CA, where I lived, from NY. The "short" trip from NY to Indiana
for the Deer Creek shows was the test drive. No problems at all, and no hassles from cops....
Left NY with girlfriend and got to the Bay Area in time for the JGB at the Greek at the beginning of August.
Fun summer.

That's good stuff,
That's good stuff, Localcountyline! I bet that car made the trip a bit 'smoother' and probably had some Deadheads making double-takes on you too, thinking you were an undercover cop. We rented a Crown Vic for shows one time and I had never seen lot crowds previously disperse like that either. LOL.
Yes, that second '90 Deer Creek show had some sure highlights as well and probably the best Desolation Row I ever heard Weir pull off too. I seem to recall the venue cutting beer sales not long into the set break which had no affect whatsoever. Good times with weeknight Grateful Dead in backwater Indiana!

There was a wooded creek
There was a wooded creek/small river running through one end of the property which had the surrounding areas more damp/wet than the rest of the mostly grassy lots. Cool venue!

I never saw a show at Deer Creek, but I imagine there'd be lots of fireflies there.

Probably so, Mike, but I cannot exactly recall that or not. I do recall a thin layer of fog rolling in after the shows that blended in with that typical lush grassy odor...and "Heavy Air" as it were ;)
At least one of the post-GD books (McNally's?) referenced the band's tour bus incident whereby it got stuck in a ditch on one if those narrow country roads leading out of the venue. Totally understandable scenario that apparently was quickly resolved with some help from some local farmers, if I recall.

Strawbud, the car in question
Strawbud, the car in question, 1986 Dodge Diplomat Police Special; yes, this car did cause some unintended stress in various parking lots, mostly in CA.
It got me to countless Warfield shows from Humboldt Co., Cal-Expo in 100 degree heat going 100 mph to get there on time, JGB at
the Wiltern in LA, etc. True under the radar road warrior; real cops in marked cars would wave at me, it was crazy.
The best was at the above mentioned Deer Creek shows; my friend and I parked the Diplomat next to these guys who gave us good-natured shit the whole time.
My buddy was sunburned from Buffalo and they were going, "What's wrong, doesn't the Department pay for sunscreen??", etc., etc. Classic.
Wonderful scene and very strong shows. Couldn't be better.

Ha! You just gotta love those
Ha! You just gotta love those ole luxo-boat cars! In my oh-so-fun and wildly packed juvenile delinquency, I learned to drive at 13 in a grip of early to mid-70's Cadillacs that my buddy's Dad collected. My friend was actually rebuilding them, transmissions in particular, at that age too. Crazy but no surprise that he's had a long-standing transmission shop to this day as well.
