Notes
  • Media coverage of the brutal treatment of deadheads by police outside this show.
  • From jaybrug on dead.net: This whole Pittsburgh scene was total chaos. Wasn't long after this that they stopped letting us camp on site. The village was huge here, penetrating into the surrounding neighborhoods (the infamous Hill District). Deadheads owned the city, way more people showed up than "The Igloo" could accommodate. Redneck cops, actually taunting us like some high school bully, rainy weather and an ignorant Sophie Masloff referring to us as "Dead Enders" couldn't break our spirits.
