Reviews
The best word to describe this experience is surreal. Once the reality of seeing the greatest of the great hit me, I slowly worked my way into the thick of the frontstage crowd. The energy there was euphoric; I took it all in and drank it up. The setlist was flawless and made only sweeter by 'I Know You Rider', WOW!!! My only regret is that we did not get tickets for both nights.... I never wanted it to end. The atmosphere was reminiscent of the Dead shows I've attended: friendly, benevolent, energized, and full of love and admiration for their musical heros. So begins my plea: please, please, please, come back to Ziggy's, or anywhere near there. It was a one night vacation from the rigors of daily life and my spirit is renewed by the experience. Gratefully Yours,
Sara Stoeppelwerth, Winston-Salem, NC
