If it is true that anyone opening for Pete should expect to be
booed off the stage, it does not speak well for the character of
Pete's fans, IMHO.<<<

Paul,  i couldn't agree with your post more!   The show at the Fillmore
really did have,  as someone posted last week, a 'magical' feel to it.  i've
rarely seen Pete look as happy onstage as he did that night.   quite a
contrast to the shows the day before or the ones that followed.   
The L.A. shows felt like a onstage rehearsal (particularily the early show).
  The audience in L.A. was not really very different from the N.Y. shows,
 the bars were just placed too close to the stage.   The N.Y. shows, while
great,  just didn't have quite the energy or enthusiasum of the San Francisco
show.   BTW does anyone know what happened to Dave Alvin, who was supposed to
open up both the L.A. and S.F. shows?

probably another show of some sort coming in or maybe the union minded
despite what Jackson Brown may say in "Load-Out".<<<
that could be,  but i doubt it.   i think he just felt going back out after
the show he had just done would have been superfluous.

Three Steps to Heaven is a Eddie Cochran song.   the line pete sang from pure
and easy was: 'there once was a note, pure and easy'.
the set lists only tell part of the story though.  each night pete spent a
great deal of time setting up each song with stories on how they came to be
or what they were about,  giving each show a very unique feel.   a wonderful
run of shows.
