Was working at the Olympics and drove up in my 1966 Mustang for the weekend. Could park right at the beach and slept in the back seat. The Olympic spirit and the deadheads good vibes made for an excellent summer of 1984. I had only $34 to my name and Touch of Grey reassured me that I will survive. First time I heard it and I always remembered that... and I was never that low on cash again...whew
We got to camp out in the lot surrounding the fairgrounds and I remember LA area bands out showing up with all of their equipment, stage, lights, and generators. They set up and after the 2pm show was over they would play for hours into the night. I am sure these were guys out here from middle America trying to make it big in LA and this was a way to promote. Some of them were very good.

TRULY GREAT SHOW... from start to finish. One of my all-time favorite shows. Great location, great vibe that day... really one of the best days of my entire life. NEVER HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME / IN MY LIFE BEFORE!!!
The band was late & everyone was peaking in the sunshine of southern Cali before they hit the stage.
Traveled w/ Kirk & Warren& Chuck Minx(where are you?)...great burritos & killer salsa on the beach before the gig.
Some guy slit his throat w/ a knife during the set break & really freaked some people out.
Beautiful Cali surfer girls & watching surfers @ the break after the show ...lots of fun.
Went to a trippy party after & all they played was "Missing Persons" :D
Anyone else remember just after Shakedown some of the people here at the show stood up with the score of Shakedown Street .

I ate something that a Native American gave me, and then I swam naked with lots of other people. And somehow (thank you whoever you are), I made it back home to NYC with aud masters of both shows.
