I got 2 free lawn seat tickets from Dave Kane, the main DJ at 96.5 WCMF in Rochester NY. As both of us are HUGE Stevie Ray Vaughan fans, I gave him a copy of the only known recording of Stevie's last show in Alpine Valley WI, on August 26, 1990. He died in a helicopter crash a short time after the show had ended, early on August 27, 1990.
Dave offered a couple of tickets to a few upcoming shows and I grabbed 2 tickets for The Dead.
I didn't care for Joan Osbourne's singing, but the band was awesome! Robert Hunter played great and was not impressed with Bob Dylan, especially when they told all of the tapers to turn off their equipment for his set. He has written some wicked awesome songs, but I can not stand to hear him sing.
I only wish that Jerry was still alive so I could have seen the Grateful Dead, but still, it was a great experience overall.
