This Will Be The Last Time
Forums:
Saw this on Reddit and had to look it up for myself. Last song I heard Jerry play. Really all I remember from that show is that it wasn't sold out and people were thinking that maybe they could start playing at the Kaiser again.

>>>Brokedown Palace - Shoreline 6/4/95<<<
I think that was the one for many of us westies, and such a fitting final song for the band/Jerry to play in the Bay Area, at a venue so close to where it all started.
It wasn't a good show, but it was a beautiful, heartfelt version of Brokedown, almost as if he knew it was his final local show.
I almost missed it because working a 3-day Grateful Dead run at Shoreline had become an immense, exhausting ordeal, so I was hanging out in a break area for the back half of the 2nd set, building up the energy for the grueling, depressing (and at times dangerous) post-show trek into Shakedown where we would try to gently encourage folks to pack up and move on before the police came in.
Fortunately, when the band went into Not Fade Away (another great song for them to close out their long Bay Area journey) I forced myself to go into the bowl and watch the end of the show, and I'm SO GLAD I did, because that Brokedown hit me right between the eyes.
I spent most of that weekend chasing gate crashers, dealing with over-dosers & being yelled at by entitled "dead heads" and had been thinking about how the whole thing was going down the drain, but then Jerry sang that final song so beautifully. I clearly remember thinking, "Damn, this is WAY better than what they've been playing", silently singing it along with him and smiling as I waved goodbye at the end.
I would have deeply regretted it if I had missed that final moment, the opportunity to literally say farewell. It really was a perfect ending.

Same.
After the Vegas shows a couple weeks earlier where Garcia was all of the place, I was expecting more of the same. However these final Shoreline shows were markedly better. In the very least Jerry was cognizant.
I agree that Shoreline was becoming a less than ideal scene by '95. Even compared to a couple years earlier in '93, it changed quite a bit, with a notable increase in drugged out scumbags and rude behavior.
