Gosh, i could run through a million of these if i had the chance. This site inspired me to reflect on the most spiritual experience i can remember having with the boys, well, despite the first time i crossed the psychedelic boundaries of the universe for the first time a show further back.  MY very last show, Pittsburgh 95', after a utterly rocking first set the boys took a break.  At the very bottom of the rows of seats next to the lawn there was an extension bleacher thing that seems to be connected to the rest of the seats. When the boys came back out, i could hear jerry fiddling with the intro notes of china cat and then something incredible happened.  The sky had
been warning us of a storm all night and then as jerry was about to bust out the intro note of G to china cat and get in started there was a simultaneous burst of wind and rain pouring in like a firehose from above with jerry at the exact moment of the first drop of rain(which was also the 33 billion or so gallons) belting out the word RRRAAAAIIIINNNNN.......... It was like a flood came down from above at that exact moment.  They played the very last rain combo as it poured and poured and eventually the bleacher thing we were
sitting in was filled up to our knees with water and it was pouring over the edge into the swampy lawn.  We danced harder than i think we ever had before in a giant pool of water and as the rain subsided and the clouds left our overhead, the boys led into one of the most beautiful terrapin's i've ever heard.........
Thank you boys, for the love, for the enlightment, and for the truth.....
