48. Hey I was at those shows

Jan 2016

Stayed the whole weekend. I forget if they played 2 or 3 shows but it was at least 2. Have a recording of at least one of the shows. Carlos came out and jammed with the Dead on a few tunes, the one I remember was Carlos and Jerry trading off licks on All Along The Watchtower. Also I remember there was an airshow going on there during that weekend, all these propeller planes spiraling in the sky. Anyway glad you got to see that, both the scene and the music were amazing, mid 80's IIRC.
