RFK Stadium
Washington, DC
I had taken a lengthy one year hiatus from Grateful Dead shows due mostly to work — but the one year made a difference in the scene getting still bigger and unruly. The parking lot scene had become out of control, with thousands of partying fools without tickets and no affinity for the band just hanging out.
It was pathetic not to be able to get ticket in my home town. I was shocked but also just had bad luck that day.
I gave up at set break, and went back to Bush campaign HQ to work.
