My wife and I had General Admission for this show, and we were at the roll-up gates when they were soundchecking--they did Baba O'reilly/Tomorrow Never Knows (the encore that night) then did Casey Jones. As the gates rolled up my wife did an Indianna Jones roll-under and we tore ass running to make it to the front of the stage. Ah memories....
I heard them perform this during soundcheck that day and then I was in about row 10 and got to see them perform it. A grateful experience that I will never forget. Thanks for sharing!
this is something I will never forget....After buying a bunk tick... I stood at the gates with heads alike listenin in.....Intermission.......WONNKWONNNK I swear bein outside hearin that Casey, we made way for 'em comin thru....We wer'ent inside but we really were there....That train still haunts me in the best way....
@clm802 Brother I had bought a bunk ticket that day as well...I remember preaching about peace and love, and the lack of it,on top of a box,...granted I know theres always a few bad apples in an orchard...Regardless , I do remember the horns blasting off and we all ran to the gates and I swear it was a defining moment in my memories of the Dead. I swear it was as if even on the outside we were inside.I swerar that was a moment I'll always cherish...We love you Jerry and all other Heads
I was at a show in the spring @ NY, Nassau Coliseum, when I first heard the train horn. It was during space, and it scared the $%#^ out of us. sounded like a train was coming through the stadium. Fast forward to the summer, we heard them soundcheck Casey at Giant's Stadium so you knew it was only a matter of time... what a suitable place to break it out, RFK, I can feel that same chill going through me hearing this one. Man that was a great summer. THANK YOU JERRY!!!
I got a *ahem* "late start" and when I heard the first hints of Casey still jumbled in Space, I turned to a friend to say I told you so, he still didn't believe it, I looked back just in time to hear that train horn so loud. I laughed as the bright, single beam of white light shot out of the darkness piercing my eyes on the lower level directly across. The outline of the tunnel glowing from the circle truss upstage, the horn again.....louder, thats when I began peaking. So much fun.
The train horn blew loud as hell...coming out of space, there was the hint of the song with that sound...and then.. the Fat Man stepped up and let her rip!!!! So fun!
@MegaHihihi111 .....hey i know it dont mix well but it was a fun night 4 me and thats all that matters....u where in grade scholl when this show went down ...so i highley!!!1dought u know wft u are talking about lil girl
I believe that was Mickey Hart blowing the train horn. They had been playing with them during drums and space just a few minutes before. They were some contraption worn around their neck like a chest plate. I recall them running around the stage playing them at least one other time, might have been at Giant, Star Lake or Buckeye Lake. Brightman would light up only one light on the stage as if a train were approaching.
The "train" at the beginning was Steve Miller hitting the huge airhorn announcing that RFK was about to take the fuck off. That was one fucking rocking show! I was walking on air!
@rvg4951 your right it was at Gaints @titodead thanks for the grate videos, but you had to there, I don't think your there, I was at Deer creek eight days after this show and RFK was way more fun and was very well recieved
@guidi2005 Yes, I was there too., The tease that you mentioned, was that the train horn which Billy was playing with at Buffalo and Giants? I believe that it was 120th anniversery of the train wreak which inspired the folk song Casey Jones which inspired the cocaine version which Robert Hunter wrote. The lunar eclipse was at Giants, not Casey Jones.
Jerry decked out in his white sneakers and long pants even though it was easily 100 degrees on the grass.I think the last casey jones i caught was merriweather post in '84 and i think on that nite it had been a long time since the last one.
Even though I saw The Dead 84 times between '84 thru '93, this was my only stadium show. Meh. Don't get me wrong, it was QUITE a spectacle, with the lights and lasers and screens and all of that... But, it was clear that Jerry was back on the "H" at this time... He couldn't wait to get off of the stage. (Same with Star Lake two nights later..) Still, it was a good show. The rest of the band was in fine form, the space was a real cluster-F, but without Jerry in good health, it was just OK.
@JoshuaTaylor Just curious how was it that you knew garcia was clearly feeding that jones of his? I am pretty sure during the summer of '92 he was just doing enough so as not to get sick, and i most definately understand him not wanting to get dope-sick,this takes on a whole other meaning of the word sick picture your worst hangover combine that with a stomach virus and throw in the flu multiply that by say 400 and you just scratch the surface of how bad that is.Trust me i have been there.
@coyote023 Oh, coyote...I don't know anything for *certain*, of course, it was just the change I saw in Jerry's demeanor and the quality of his playing around this time. Just a year before he had been practically dancing on the stage, smiling and playing those amazing licks we all knew and loved. On this tour, *that* Jerry was gone. I remember him practically running off the stage in Star Lake. I think we both know why... No judgements, just happy memories of an amazing man.
@JoshuaTaylor The could be a million reasons but to run off to get high was not one of them .With persian you do not have to run you can walk , it is not like a freebase jones where it is a hurry.
This was one of the very few highlights of the '90's.That horn sound that billy made came from some type of special fire engine that the band was going to drop off at the smithsonian. The band for some unknown reason liked to play at r.f.k the sound for the most part was horrendous The last time i saw the band was here as well and the cooler thing about that show was garcia coming out to play dylan's encores,which i think were It takes alot to laugh,rainy day women.
This video is wonderful . Ive owend a copy of this show since around 1995 , thanks to my friend from Salt lake , Matt H whom invited me to see 2 shows there in Feb 1995 . Great to see the band at RFK in 1992 doing this - out of space .....
@icenine2 Whaaat? I am astronomically ignorant agreed but this sounds too much like hippie (takes one to know one) hoo-ha give me a link to check that out. I loved Steve Miller on "throwing stones/NFA"
My wife and I had General Admission for this show, and we were at the roll-up gates when they were soundchecking--they did Baba O'reilly/Tomorrow Never Knows (the encore that night) then did Casey Jones.
