This is Brucie and the boys absolutely belting out 'Atlantic City' in concert in Paris in 1985. Damn! He's good. All together now 'well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night/and they blew up his house too...'
I surely did - Wembley Arena 30 October 1990 - I've still got the bootleg tapes of the concert straight from the soundboard :D I saw the elderly gents do 'Lovelight' and Garcia sing 'Lady with a fan' - one of my all time faves and with wonderful associations, but that's another story...
DAMN! I am GREEN with envy, since you are quite likely to have achieved the following: 1:Bieng Passively Stoned ( at a Dead Concert) 2: Bieng Actively Drunk ( at a Pogues concert) I wonder, therefore, if you have been to any gigs where it is possible to combine both these experiences-as an entirely INNOCENT bystander, of course......
You old rocker you - you'll be telling us all that you once attended a Grateful Dead Concert next.....!
