    Grateful Dead Fans !!!  Whoa !?!  So ... I suppose the question really is - what does this Green Suited Leisure Suit Man ! mean to You !!  Or, better asked ... exactly What ? do you call him - as it truly would be an excellent Deadhead survey !  " The Invisible Man " ? ... " Shakedown Sam " ? ... " Stagger Lee " ? ...  Ha !  I don't know, but I like'em all - and the good thing is - that you know that you can Always ! find him Smilin'! & Snappin' his Fingers !! right on Shakedown Street !  Oh my ... The Grateful Dead at RFK on June 20, 1992 !!!  So ... here's the ' other ' question - just exactly what does this " Legendary " Early-'90's G.D. Show mean to You !  Because to me, this here - was one of the Grate-est ! Days of My Life !  And, I most certainly think that I'm not in the minority - if you too were one of the ' Lucky Ones ' to be inside the rustic & proud Good Ol' Home of the Washington Redskins !  Well, at least in this fine-era - the one that many Dead Fans know as the Early-'90's !!!  I myself am proud to say that I had it pretty nice & kicked into gear on this '92 Summer Tour ! - as I started off in Charlotte ... and Toured through Buckeye !  I caught 10 in a row - and in the case of this East Coast / Midwest Dead swing - this meant that our Traveling Circus Tour-Team touched down in Charlotte ( NC ) > D.C. ( RFK ) !!! > Star Lake ( PA ( basically WV ! ) ) > Chicago ( Soldier Field ) > Deer Creek ( IN ) > and Buckeye Lake ( OH ) ! ... at least this was the portion of this '92 Summer Tour that I ran - as there were also some dates prior at Richfield ( OH ) - Albany ( at the Knick ! ) - and at Giants Stadium ( NJ / NY ).  So ... even down at the Charlotte Shows - there were some Rumors ! " Swirlin' " that the Band had actually been ' Soundchecking ' Casey Jones !?!  And, because this talk was coming from the known & trusted - in addition to the other general talk - I actually believed that we might get it ?  But, you know ... us Deadheads - " Forever Hopeful " - right ?  So, the Charlotte Shows were pretty darn tight - and it certainly appeared that the Boys could go for something big like that - if they would choose to.  The Deal - China > Rider & Good Lovin' were all exceptionally-hot on the 6/17/92 night - and during the 6/18/92 Show - the Stranger & Let It Grow both Cooked ! in the 1st Set - and in the 2nd set right out of Drums > Space ? >>> well, try this on for size ... Space > Dark Star Jam > Watchtower > Dew !  And, oh boy did Garcia find-it on that Dew !!  Killer ... and, being in the South - you could actually hear a pin drop inside the Charlotte Coliseum.  Just awesome.  So ... no " Casey Jones " - but RFK was next on 6/20/92 - and, I have to admit - I was thinking at the time that " If " they were going to play it - wouldn't it have been likely that they would kick it down at the Giants Shows ?  But, then I got thinking ... how dang Prankster ! would it be to lay it down right smack dab in the Nation's Capital !?!  You know ... just " Drivin' That Train ! ... High On Cocaine !! " - right down the street from Congress - The White House - and George W. Bush !  Hah !! ... as now That ! sounds like a Great Idea & a Memorable Party that I would like to be a part of.  Right-On !  And, keep in mind too ... that Casey Jones had not been driven by the Boys since the Killer ! Halloween run at the B.C.T. in Bezerkley - on 11/2/84 ! to be exact.  So, this is a close to 7-Year hiatus ! that we are talkin' about her - I mean would they do it ??  Well ... Set 1 was very D.C. style - in that Cold Rain & Snow - Maggie's Farm - Row Jimmy & Tennessee Jed all got played !  And, if you happened to see a lot of RFK Shows like me ?  Then ... you know exactly what I'm talking about.  But then Set II rolls around ... and they are getting into the Heavy-Groove !  After a Corinna > Crazy Fingers ... things start to get Hot !  They just Blast-out !! a Playin' > Uncle Johns ! ... and deliver it so eloquently into Drums > Space.  And, during Space - Garcia starts into the little ' Shenandoah ' instrumental theme that he had been playing around with, and it was real-nice !  And then ... the Locomotive Airhorns too ?  But, nice & subtle - as Billy had been using them for a while prior, on this Tour ... which in hindsight - Thanks ! for the ' Hint ' B.K. !!!  So, Jerry comes slowly out of Space > Shenandoah ... to a virtual stand-still, and then Boom !! Billy explodes the Locomotive Airhorns !!!  Kind of a Honk ! ~ Hoooonnnnk !!! thing ... and then Blammo !!!!!!!!  Garcia lays-down the opening treble rifts Perfectly ! - and it is ON !!!!!  " Driving That Train ! ... High On Cocaine !!! ... Casey Jones You Better Watch Your Speed !!! " - and that Whole ! Stadium just Exploded !! with Joy !!!  I was on the Field with my Buddy - just about under 30-Yards back right in front of Jerry ... and this was a Sight ! to see.  This Field was going Absolute-Nuts ! ... and then I took a close look up top - as RFK kinda looks like a pool-triangle - and the seats up top are just Movin' !!!  Wow.  Unbelievable !!!  Without any question - both this Casey Jones ! & the Loose Lucy ! kick down at the Cap Center on 3/14/90 are the Most Amazing ! " Instant " Crowd-Explosions ! that I have even seen in Rock 'n Roll ... and believe me - I've seen some Rock 'n Roll ! in my time !  I walked right out into the lot & bought a Tie-Dye because I wanted to always remember this Forever !  I call That-Shirt " Casey Jones !!! " and still have it today ( of course ... ).  In fact, I met the Love of my Life ! when I was wearing it to go see a Garcia Show at the Warfield in '94 - and she's in the room next to me here today ! ... right now as I type !  So, as it goes without saying ... that's my Lucky-Shirt !  And, whenever I need a little luck - I'll put it on & wear it still today !  But of course, very-very carefully !  This-here my fellow Fans is indeed the Power !! of The Grateful Dead !!!  Enjoy !!!!!
