Grateful Dead Breakout "Casey Jones" RFK 1992

While pretty good, this one was the worst out of the 4 versions that were played (Deer Creek the best, followed by Oakland and Albany)...Just wrong place and wrong time for this bustout in my opinion

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 has a friend actually sleep through this entire song, including the loud-as-all-get-out train whistles!!

@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 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!

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....

the horn sounding several times earlier, is missing from this recording. I thought that was the best part of the audio recording I have.

Jerry's in Pop Tart / Sweat Pants mode - built for comfort!!!

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.
