Birthday wishes come true: Second Set opener Eyes!

The Tennessee Jed and the SOTM make this show a must for every collection. This is in my view, the best SOTM EVER!

Looking back at the shows I attended, it was easy at the time to focus on the negatives of one show or another rather than cherishing the many gifts that were fired our way. We would say things like " They wasted my show by playing Cheesy Answers and Corrina and they closed the show with I Fought The Song." Upon seeing a comment regarding this show in the "All Recent Posts" section of dead.net, it prompted me to go to archive.org for another listen. I have to say the King Bee is still somewhat of a throw away. However, there are countless gems in this show. The SOTM is excellent and Jerry is magnificent. The interplay between Vince and Jerry made them all bring their 'A' game and there is crackling soulful energy throughout the show. What I wouldn't give to have Jerry play me one more Crazy Fingers. Hell, I even enjoyed the drummers' gunshots during I Fought The Law and I could picture Bobby leaping into the air "firing" his axe at the crowd. Good Times! hehehehe

Johnny D. Cobra we scamed a limo for 10 bucks outside the cheetah after workt and attended my friend james 50th show tennesee jed was the best

went to this one with my friend from AU, Katie, and during the first set she made me feel like I was an early pilgrim rolling down the road in a covered wagon. Enjoyed Corrina from behind the stage, beautiful lights. love that song. shake it up, baby !

Had just moved to Atlanta to start work out of college and only caught these 3 Omni shows the whole year....was pretty cool to go 20 minutes back home and sleep in my own bed for the 1st time during this run. Eye's 2nd set opener is always greatness as was SOTM.

Hi... can anyone tell me who sang "Way To Go Home" at this show? It totally rocks. I'm guessing Vince Welnick? Thanks if you can help! Beth :)
