The 29th was a day between shows and I went back to were my car was and it had not been towed. I slept in a tent the rest of my stay in the park right in front of the Oakland Auditorium. We salvaged what we could from my car and then went to the show that night. Soon I found my friends dog Althea and followed it to my friend Rob's tent in the park. A nice guy named Ray Augustine that I had met through mutual friends came out and proceeded to give me a ticket for that nights show. When I arrived the people who were cleaning up the Auditorium from the show the night before were coming out of the building. Luckily no one was hurt so left my car in a yellow zone and walk to the Auditorium. I T-boned a Ford Pinto with my 74 Toyota Corolla several blocks away from the Oakland Auditorium. I went up without any tickets in hand and I arrived in Oakland very early on the morning of 28th and proceeded to total my car due to brake failure (poor maintenance on my part). I went alone because some of my friends went ahead and some could only come for the New Years show. I left late at night on the 27th after my work shift and drove alone up to Oakland from Southern Cal. And this is as complete a record of the show as you will find anywhere. This is my favorite New Years concert that I attended.
