The late 80's early 90's were great IMO because you had a blend of the outgoing music scene coupled with the emerging of the jam bands.

You could see Drivin' & Cryin' at the Theatre, Dreams So Real and the Connells during the week....and then Widespread just about every weekend. With every type of music conceivable in between.

"Super Jam"

That was always a mixed bag for me. It always went from the "wow I've never been this high" euphoria of tripping and dancing to "oh shite, where are my people and how am I getting home" type thing we're you're climbing in the back of some beat up Jetta for a lift downtown by a bunch of lunatics.
