Another show attended with me, myself, and I. I was keeping vegan at this time and recall chowing down on tomatoes and onions in olive oil in the parking lot. There was a guy selling bootleg tapes nearby that had a bunch of stuff I had just traded for. I laighed that he was trying to make money off of what was available for free.

I went in early to secure a good place. I used to dip Copenhagen. I had a nice dip in. The floor of the stadium was covered and there was no convenient place to spit. I kept that dip in until the end of the night.

This was the last stadium show I ever attended. More and more I grew tired of the crowds. Foxboro was no worse than other shows, but it was the proverbial straw. Everyone pushes forward as the day progresses. Those of us already up front get trampled. Sigh . . .

The show was well-played. I really liked Tennessee Jed today. Jerry was hopping on this tune. Friend of the Devil was upbeat, which was really a treat.

Also blogged on this date . . .
