Brokedown Palace
June 25, 1995
RFK Stadium
Was listening to the one from 11/21/73 and came here to find where it was listed. Interestingly enough, it's well down the list, despite the fact that it is a great version. Anyway, I saw this '95 one ranked pretty high and gave it a spin while I'm working from home. Before Jer got to the solo I was in tears. How is it that something made before I was even born can bring me so much joy, in so many ways? This music makes me cry a lot, but it's always accompanied by a feeling that is like "that's why they're the greatest fuckin' band in all the land". I don't really feel sadness, just that I'm lucky enough to witness beauty, even if its in a digital form. It's hard to put into words for me, and I know others can agree, but what this music means is so much more than any other band or artist I can even think of. They may not be the greatest musicians of all-time, but when they moved as one, no one could touch them. I digress, this is a truly heartfelt brokedown palace. The fact it is the final one makes it that much more special.
