A wonderful show topping off a "magical" tour that included, among other gems, a Dark Star played earlier in the week on a Full moon Friday-the-13th. This was the first show I taped, and unfortunately I have managed to lose the 1st set. But, I do have a killer master of the 2nd set.

What I appreciate is the old school Dancin' which opened set one (Not that I ever disliked their 70's disco version).

The Olympic shows as the L.A. summer Olympics started soon after. And I agree with the above post that this was the best Ventura show. Drums-Space is wicked and "I just want to make love to you" which was the first of only 2 times played is a special treat.

Loser, Jerry freaks. It is the "it". He begins to growl the words as soon as cold coffee but the chords rip apart at the crescendo. Hells Angels group were hanging with him on stage right. Jerry in a thick plaid long sleeve red & black shirt that would look normal on John Fogerty. And this in the hot summer sun. Hmmm. Bob feedback, trippy. The tracks right behind the stage and the train going by while the band played.... My second of what became an annual trek to Ventura. Talking Heads were hugely influential at this time and how I thought they would have fit right in with this setting. Crazy wonderful.

Ventura County Fairgrounds was a dirt floor Rodeo Arena that got kind of dusty when people danced and twirled. Fortunately, the Beach and Pacific Ocean were right outside the gates.
