i always wonder if there was anyone ever in the crowd when that song is played who actually WAS one of those gate crashers and if they look embarassed or just cheer with everyone else and pretend like they were never there
As for the creek....the dead played there quite a bit i think and phish ripped it up there for a lot of years but there was deffinitly a lot of wierd energy and iffy stuff about the place.
Namely the fact that they arrested the shit out of people there to make money and threw hundreds of kids in jail for years under strict Indiana drug laws, horrible judges and psychotic prosecuters. There are still people there serving multiple years sentences for things as petty one hit of acid or one e-pill. And if you got caught with anything big or multiple substances...forget it....kiss the next 10- 20 years of your life goodbye. They built a HUGE brand new multimillion dollar court house and jail with the money from busts there, sent out HUGE task forces to bust people every show into the camp grounds and parking lots and targeted anyone and eeryone who they could spot even if it was some 18 y/o kid with no clue buying a bag of herb. they didnt give a fuck about the kid or his future or the fact that he was very innocent. he was going to jail and/or going to pay them lots of money for it. There are stories of horrible things like people drinking a beer, getting carded, being 20 and 8 months, getting searched, having some tiny amount of drugs for personal use and going to jail for months or years. There are hundreds if not thousands of stories like that. So really I say good riddence. Some may argue dont do the crime if you cant do the crime but this was so over the top that I for one am glad it wont be happening anymore.
