I moved away from Minnesota in 2001 so itâs been a while. I just Googled it and apparently itâs still around! I think I only went there twice: the Bob & Rob âScaring the Childrenâ show from the stub above, and I caught Crosby, Stills & Nash in '97.
Some weird shit went down at this show:
I was living in Albuquerque at the time (I left MN for 2.5 years, then moved back), but my friend from Minnesota had moved to Phoenix so we trekked over to visit her and see the show. My buddy worked for Ticketmaster and hooked me up. He said I could get within a few rows of the stage but off to the side, or 10th row dead center. I opted for the latter.
The show started quite late. It looked like Jerry was having problems with his rig, spending a bunch of time futzing with knobs. They played 5 rather unenthusiastic songs then took a set break. The break stretched to 30 minutes, then 45 minutes. Around the 55 minute mark they lined the front of the stage with security guards and made the announcement that Jerry âwasnât feeling wellâ and the rest of the show wasnât going to happen. To appease the crowd they told everyone that the gig would be rescheduled and to keep your stubs - but the next day they announced they would give refunds instead. I got to keep my stub AND get my money back thanks to my Ticketmaster friend.
I just tried to look up which one, but one of those Dead bio books tells the story of this night. It sounds like both Jerry and John Kahn were having health issues related to their dope habits. If you believe the book, they were rushed from the AZ venue, put on a plane back to California, and had medics on stand-by upon arrivalâŚ
Anyway, that puts my total of JGB shows attended at three and a half 
FWIW, we also saw the three night run that the Dead played at the same venue a couple months before (March 4, 5, 6). Those were fun shows and I finally caught the Stagger Lee I had been chasing.

Hidden Gems:
My old bus and a flyer from the Bulldog in 96â
That time I met Donna Jean and Ken Kesey. I actually met him twice in my life. Once at a Phish show in 98 and another time at the OCF in like 98 or 99-00. Fuzzy on dates! And my first dead related show.

Itâs great to see a stash of cassettes! It prompted me to swivel in my office chair and snap this pic:
Lots of Dead stuff on those shelves, including cassettes in the lower right.

Hell yeah-
I called that hotline with my high tech wall mounted phoneâŚ
It had a 20 foot long coiled cord, with the dial conveniently located right in the handset
(So you could call someone else without getting up and walking back to the base)

Bruce was fantastic, and Buckeye was fun-
I camped in mud the year before, when Steve Miller opened, and my mail order tickets got stolen by a hitchhikerâŚ
Still had a blast listening to the show from the cheap seats (parking lot)-
Start at 33 minutes, to hear Phil sing something other than âBox of RainââŚ
