Tooter really felt at home touring with the Dead. He received much loved playing for the home DH's at Winterland and the Greek. There was something special playing for the NY Heads at Filmore East.
But Tooter was completely overwhelmed when they got to Red Rocks. The natural rock formations, the acoustics and the DH's made it his most memorable venue.
They're a band beyond description
Like Jehovah's favorite choir.
People joinin' hand in hand
While the music plays the band.
Lord, they're setting us on fire.
Keep on dancin'
through to daylight.
Greet the morning air with song.
No one's noticed, but the band's all packed and gone.
Was it ever here at all?
After the last show at Red Rocks, Jerry asked Tooter if he liked playing in the sand. Tooter's eyes lit up and Jerry just gave him a big 'ol grin
