Such a small venue. I was one of the fortunate ones to go to the reception. The champagne! I did get to talk to Carlos a bit. Got Jerry to sign my ticket to one of my best friends who loved him. I can see myself dancing on Fire On The Mountain video of show! Great times.

This was an enjoyable show and not knowing the music (except for FOTM) kind of gave it an added layer of fun.<br /><br />A few personal experiences from this show - there was a meet and greet thing after the show in the Banquet Room next to the Auditorium. I can't recall how much this cost ($50 maybe?) but I remember thinking it was kind of weird to do something like that (no regrets in hindsight and that donation also was for the beneficiaries). I'm also thinking it was limited to 50 people, but 34 years later, I'm not sure.<br /><br />Floor plan here if interested: https://tinyurl.com/1lrowpyx<br /><br />Between the show's end and the start of the meet event, I ran next door to the bowling alley to get something to drink. As I was coming back for the meet, just as I entered the (now empty) auditorium from the lobby, Jerry and a security guy entered from a door somewhere near stage left. So it was just Jerry, his security guy, and me in the auditorium, them walking towards the kitchen door as I headed for the banquet room door. We all got to the doors at about the same time, so trying to be cool, I said "hey man, how's it going" to him and got an "alright" or a "good" or something like that.<br /><br />The banquet room was set up with a row of tables in front of the kitchen area where Mickey, Jerry and Carlos were seated with a line of people waiting for their meet turn. There were food carts in the room and not very expensive champagne available (the plastic champagne glasses gave me a laugh). It was a pretty festive atmosphere and not what I was expecting.<br /><br />I took my place in the meet line, and right before I got to the tables, Carlos got up and headed into the kitchen and disappeared, so no Santana greet for me.<br /><br />As I got closer to where Mickey and Jerry were sitting, you could see people having their picture taken with Jerry and hear the well wishes, etc. (still pretty soon after the '86 health issues). When I got up there, the person in front of me laid what looked like some gel tabs on the table in front of Jerry saying how fresh it was ("just made yesterday" or something like that). Jerry says something like "really looks good" and picks it up and puts it in his front shirt pocket (probably ended up on the desk at Club Front). I was taking all that in and then it was my turn. This show was a couple of weeks after the Jan. 28-30 1987 run at the SF Civic (my birthday run), so I kept it very simple and thanked Jerry for my birthday show. "You're welcome" and then I said something about staying healthy and hanging around for awhile and he replies "I'm trying, I'm trying"! Got the back of my ticket signed by Mickey and Jerry, shook their hands (I think Sandy Rothman's got a story about shaking Jerry's hand that brought back a memory when I read it) and that was it. Stopped at the 7-11 down the street before I headed home and Olatunji and several others were inside. Olatunji was the only one I recognized so told him I had just seen him down the street and would he sign my ticket. Very happy guy and my ticket is signed by Mickey, Jerry and Olatunji.<br /><br />Fun show, fun experience, fun night!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189740927119210874.post-44151667705411033612016-09-05T15:01:55.694-04:002016-09-05T15:01:55.694-04:00That's true, I forgot about the Los Lobos thin...That's true, I forgot about the Los Lobos thing. Still, it's a big step from getting out of the house to see Los Lobos and being pulled onstage for a quick La Bamba, to playing (and presumably preparing for) a full set with Baba Olatunji's troupe of drummers. No matter: both indicated better things to come (for a little while, at least).Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11628132999021385676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189740927119210874.post-56509034803847325562016-09-04T10:57:32.457-04:002016-09-04T10:57:32.457-04:00"this appearance marks a start to his post-co..."this appearance marks a start to his post-coma period of increased health and a much greater level of engagement with the musical world around him"<br /><br />I would note the 11/21/86 Los Lobos sit-in, maybe also the 11/1/86 Ritual and Rapture thing, but, yeah, the most exciting aspect about the post-coma period, to me, is to see Garcia being in the broader musical world again after 8 years or whatever.<br /><br />Thanks for the setlist notes!<br />Fate Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648291938690043423noreply@blogger.com
