OldNeumanntapr	This show was so very emotional, being Bill's tribute concert. I had mail order tickets to both the 10/27 and 10/31 shows, and recorded both of those in the taper section. 10/27/91 was the 1st show after Bill's unfortunate accident, and 10/31/91 was most definitely the most powerful Dead show I've ever witnessed, with Ken Kesey coming out during Drums / Space. We had recorded Neil Young at the Bridge Benefit at Shoreline the night before the memorial show in the park. After the Bridge show I stayed the night in my VW bus parked in front of a friend of a friend's place in Atherton. We got up the next morning and drove up to Golden Gate Park. Even early in the morning the crowds were terrible. This was the last trip that I had made in my restored '67 VW camper bus. I retired it right after and it sat in the garage for a year before I sold it. I always thought that the Bill Graham memorial was a fitting 'last ride'. I recorded the memorial show with my triple set of Nakamichi CM-300s->Sony TC-153SD cassette portable. We were 3/4th of the way back between the stage and the repeaters. I remember thinking that it started of crowded and got progressively more packed with people as the day wore on. I think the Chronicle said something like 300,000 people in the park. I believe it! It reminded me of something that I saw on Sesame Street when I was a little kid in the early 70s. They took a pickle jar and filled it with small stones. 'Is it full? No, we can add more.' And they poured in small ball bearings. 'Is it full? No, we can add more'. Then they added sand, and then water. Finally it was full. The crowd at the Polo Fields that day brought back that memory, with more and more people pushing their way in. I remember all the bands that day and also Robin Williams who did some stand up comedy between sets. I also remember the plane that dropped flowers. John Fogerty played with the Dead and sounded really good. It was only about two years before that he played with Bobby and Jerry at the Oakland Stadium AIDS Benefit. I remember thinking that there had been a lot of historical shows in the park at that spot and this was going to be another one. I'll never forget it. :(	\| \|
