    MY FIRST SHOW TOO!
    This was my first Grateful Dead show. At the time I was into bands like U2, the Clash, REM, the Cure, the Stray Cats and so on. I didn't really know of the Dead and went to the show only because a friend of mine had an extra ticket that he said had my name on it. Since we always had a great time together I went with him. We got into Rosemont Horizon minutes before the band took the stage. The lights had just gone down and the crowd was getting pumped up. We didn’t bother looking for our seats. We just went to the upper concourse and found a little place with some elbow room. I remember stopping and taking a deep breath when the lights came up, the crowd roared and the Dead took the stage. The band started tuning and feeling the crowd and I got my first sense of the excited gathering of Heads quivering with the anticipation of the concert. It was beautiful! I was so into drinking it all in when bam, Shakedown Street began and all this power was released. It was awesome and I was hooked! This was music. Real Music! I hadn’t ever heard or experienced anything like it! I don’t like rating things beyond either liking it or not. So saying, I loved this show and I am forever Grateful to my friend for giving me a ticket with my name on it. It was a great ride and this show was a great first stop on my trip with the Dead!

    terrapinT- I was still new
    terrapinT- I was still new and fell in love after this show. I spun around like a fool learning how to hippy dance. I'll always remember the terrapin station.

    Mine also
    Too funny. My first show as well and I also had the very same reaction when Shakedown started. First NFA -- never expected that kind of audience participation at a Dead show.
