Nice write up!
Some things never change - I drove up to Albany from LI on Friday with a buddy - We got the unsettling news of Phil on the road trip. We thought the band might do something to honor him - Boy, did they nail it especially on such short notice. We then drove back to LI after the show. - I had a commitment with my better half that I could not get out of. She really doesn't ask for much - so it was the least I could do.

However, on Sunday, I heard from an old deadhead buddy , saying that he and his wife were going to the show - So, of course I drove back up to Albany - hung with them - laughed about doing almost the same thing for the GD Spring of 1990 (when the venue was called the Knickerbocker) We then saw a grate SUNDAY show & I drove back to LI to crash in my own bed - wake up and go to work Monday morning. Needless to say I was a little fuzzy yesterday, but its ALWAYS worth making the trip!
