==================================================================================================================
The drive to Park Cities was amazing, coming out of Idaho down the mountains across the lake then into Salt Lake City and back up the mountains to Park Cities. We had been driving all night having stayed in Boise until they kicked us out of our room thus arriving in Park Cities early in the morning; too early for most check ins. Then we noted there was really only 2-3 hotels and zero motels on the ski area proper, one of them being the Hilton resort complex. So Tom hung around the lobby a bit and somehow secured us a room for check in later that day. We were killing time in the lobby and what not (two cars full-6-7 people) when I (briefly) met Phil Lesh for the second time. He was hanging in the phone bank area (google "phone bank" young uns) and had some young woman hanging all over him being obnoxiously loud and when I hung up I just looked him in the eye and said, "Phil, I'm digging the six string". He looked at me, smiled, said to the woman, "Perhaps you should be more circumspect" and gave me a thank you look with a semi wink as he strode away.

This would have been the first time I ever stayed at a mountain resort type place and it was a bunch of fun with the entire place being taken over by heads. We were so close to the venue and were able to have enough room in the suite for all of us and to get some laundry done etc. It was our first time in a nice place all tour and just relaxing there was worth it. the next morning Chris and I got in line early in order to secure a great taping location. We were in the mountain sun for almost 2 hours waiting then once in had secured a perfect spot, about 20 feet in front of the soundboard. We had a blanket out with enough space for our crew and took turns waiting out in the blazing sun while the other would seek shade. Chris brought a camera on the trip and two of his shots I kept all these years are in the fileset. One of Jerry with Utah Dead in the background and one of Bobby. This was a spectacular day, bright and sunny with perfect mountain temperatures.

The show was a hill blazer. The Friend Of the Devil had Jerry singing in his sweet high pitched tones with Brent accompanying on electric piano. The Althea-> Hell In A Bucket -> China Cat Sunflower-> I Know You Rider first set closers are the highlights for me, even after all these years. I used to burn through car tapes of this show, and although I don't consider it in the very best of what we made, I do like the combination of setlist and recording quality. The Ultrasound Meyer PA, the steepness of the hill and the new tonalities Phil was finding with the six string bass were truly contributing factors as to why this one sounds as good as it does. The Wheel melting into the Other One is so fine!

Onward we went toward Colorado and the highly anticipated run at Red Rocks State Park and amphitheater.
