I was tempted to look it up, but would rather have you tell me. I'm gonna guess U.S. Blues since it was July 4 show.

You would be correct and tie-dye pilled! It was a hot and sunny day, and having never tripped in a crowd of 100,000 people before (Rich Stadium seats 80K), I took a break somewhere around my peak and had a seat up on Phil's side of the stands on an aisle to ponder existence and stuff. At one moment, an angel with bells on her ankles walked down the stairs with I assume a spray bottle and misted the back of my neck. It was like getting sprinkled with Tinker Bell's pixie dust. Good times.

What a story! Thanks for sharing. Most first dose was at small festival in the upper Midwest. Melvin Seals with JGB, Brian Lesh, and Mike Lawson and some others I've long since forgotten. I think the dose kicked in about the time my brother's face turned into a dragon, right in the middle of Sugaree somewhere.

Haha, iktf bro. Oh, forgot to mention, while I've only heard Blood from your namesake, my favorite track on there is "You and Your Sister," but then I am a huge Big Star fan, too...

I've not listened to much of them. I take the handle from Hamlet: “Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream—For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause, there's the respect, That makes calamity of so long life.”
