Jerry started out the show with the most jumbled rendition of Alabama Getaway that I've ever heard. There was one "verse" that had lines from three different verses in it. It was also the most low key, low energy version of the song that I've ever heard. I think Jerry got confused somewhere later in the show, too. Now, all that is pretty minor, really. The show at Chula Vista was really nice. They did a great Fire On The Mountain, the sound was extreemly well balanced, the grass of the football field was really comfortable, and the cops and security were all pretty cool. (One cop was cruising around playing old rock music out of the P.A. of his vehicle.) One strange thing about the show - there were no smooth transitions. They got pretty far along in the second set without getting to drums and space, so at the end of a song they just stopped cold and Then started drums. I think they pretty well full stopped between drums and (an uninspired) space. The show was pretty choppy in that sense. Hope they come back next year (a 33% increase in Southern California shows). -David sdcsvax!telesoft!dar "Was it ever here at all?"
