It was my first trip to NYC by train alone & to the Fillmore East at age 17...I got a headache from Lighthouse & Cold Blood, but it went away when the Dead started playing!

I was 15. I remember the band walking on stage, 2001 theme, light show screen purple background, then the cresendo part of 2001 and the white block letters flash "Grateful Dead". What a way to start the new decade. Thank you for all the years combined.
This was my first real show. (I slept through the Dead's performance at Woodstock.) I recall hurrying to the Fillmore East from uptown in a cab and finding them already busting out; it was 12:30 a.m. (They didn't start at 2 a.m. ) Also, the set list doesn't coincide with my memory. I recall them closing with Midnight Hour. Anyone else question this set list?
BTW, I also made the infamos February 11, 1970 show, when the Allmans and 3 members of the original Fleetwood Mac (inc. founder Peter Green) joined the Dead for a 3-hour, non-stop jam. Anyone else at that show?

I was 11 years old and my older cousin offered to "hang out" with me. Bless her for turning me onto the greatest band EVER.
