2 Sept 2008: 1984

[Wayback]

a preponderance of relative rarities makes this one of Dave's best '84 sets in some time.

Yes, good set, really brought back memories of living in Princeton, NJ '84-'85.

And to top it off Annalisa really only gave the quiz winner one choice:  The Smiths "How Soon Is Now?"

(which Dave has only played once)

when the 1984 convention was happening, my shop was right around the corner on Folsom St, where LuLu's restaurant now resides.
[going back to my rabbit hole now]

are there "Deadheads for McCain"? Wonder what *their* logo looks like?

I made an announcement on my GD list about the Dead reforming for an Obama benefit in Pennsylvania on Oct 13, and got some angry email from a McCain supporter that his SYF stickers were incompatible with his McCain stickers on his Jimmy pickup truck.  So no, I don't think there's any broad based GD/McCain group!
