phokus Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 My top three greatest memories from RFK: 1. Dexter Manley getting the crowd pumped against the Giants in 1990 (though we still lost...) 2. Watching Willie Mays play in the 1982 Old Timer's Game 3. China->Rider from 6/25/93 (tied with the Shakedown opener from 6/25/95) Wish I could've been there for the legendary Dead/Allmans/Wet Willie show on 6/10/73, but my mother was in labor delivering me at Sibley...

Natmagic Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 Wish I could've been there for the legendary Dead/Allmans/Wet Willie show on 6/10/73, but my mother was in labor delivering me at Sibley... Hahaa dude! I'm not much older than you but... My folks were kind enough to take me with them to that show. Of course I was far to young to have any conscious memories as far as the unconscious.. I take a great deal of solace in the fact that my 1st heavenly GD wave was a pre Wall of Sound Phil Lesh Morning Dew bomb at the sacred RFK 06-10-73 Robert F. Kennedy Stadium, Washington, D.C. (Sun)1: Morning Dew, BIODTL, Ramble On, Jack Straw, Wave That Flag, L. L. Rain, Box Of Rain, TLEO, Race Is On, Row Jimmy, El Paso, Bird Song, Playin2: Eyes> Stella Blue, Big River, H. C.

Goode**with Allman Brothers Band and Merl SaundersWet Willie, then Allman Brothers Band opened - first "That's Alright Mama" - first "Train To Cry" - final "Wave That Flag" - "Half Step" appears on some tapes but is likely from a different show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadium-Armory Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Great thread. I'm a long time Skins/GD fan. There was always a connection for me between the skins and the dead. It was RFK. Summer tour in the late 80's and early 90s and then winter Skins games. What a great time/place that was.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
