Santa Barbara. A great location to see a show, but a show that didn't overwhelm me. Part of the problem: the first band was Warren Zevon. We didn't seem to like him; he didn't seem to like us, and it made for an inauspicious start to an afternoon. Elvin Bishop and friends were on next, and patched-up the damage, and the Dead did a good job when it was their turn.
(After posting this site, I got an email from Vlad, who disagreed with
my so-so review for this show:
"Elvin played "fooled around
and fell..." -- boy that was a psychedelic show! I remember Elvin
Bishop Band, and Jerry joined them on stage for "Goin' Fishing".
The wind ripped the backdrop and created some very nice visions. I think
it may have been a Rick Griffin design. They started a Harley going into
Not Fade Away, and Donna did some Yoko-like screams during that space...")
