This, said Riggs, was \"not about anything really\" and was added \"to get people's attention\". To the cat's left is a tombstone engraved with \"Here lies Derek Riggs\". Riggs also included gravestones that state \"Live With Pride\", added at the band's request to show opposition to lip-synched performances, \"Here Lies Faust In Body Only\", the German legend who sold his soul to the Devil (hence \"in body only\"), and a stone that simply reads \"Thank You\", representing the Grateful Dead.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe video version of the concert only contains footage from the Long Beach shows.
