Man it was hot that day. We
Man it was hot that day. We were stupidly in the front with a hundred thousand people pushing on us--dehydrated, passed out girls being handed over the railing to the security guards--and a large goon with a red gallon jug shouting "Fruit Punch!" triumphantly.

God Bless The Grateful Dead
After listening to 93.3 FM for most of my teen years, I finally got to say, "God Bless The Grateful Dead" over the air waves! The local DJ and resident Dead Head, Peirre Robert used that line every time he would play the Dead. I met him on the floor of JFK. He was carrying a portable unit and broadcasting from the show. I asked him if I could say the line over the air. He said sure but disappeared into the masses. About 5-10 minutes later, I felt a tap on the shoulder and it was him with the microphone in my face! One of the best concerts! A lot of kindness was shown on that very very hot day!
I Can Never Forget
My first show. I vividly remember the sunset during Black Peter. I never looked back. I was hooked for the next seven years on the road. Twenty years later i remember most of it,damn clowns. Excellent Sugaree. This would make a nice View From The Vault.
Honest DEADHEAD
I had an experience I will never forget at this concert. I was in a bit of an altered state and must have dropped my ticket on the way into the concert. The person walking behind me saw it fall and picked it up and gave it to me.
AN ANGEL ON EARTH!!
I would call it karma, as I have done good deeds in my life.
The sun was HOT, and so was the Dead!!
who loves you in philly
who loves you in philly baby?
first show
it was my very first show didnt know what to expect but after i was hooked
I turned around to look at the crowd and saw...
...123,000 tie-died shirts. The stadium was awash with color.
It was HOT that day! We arrived early and my friends and I somehow landed a spot dead center about thirty feet from the stage. At one point, everyone disappeared and I was alone for what seemed like forever in the hot sun, but I did not want to lose our "spot". I was dying of thirst when my friend, Kov, reappeared with two friends from the Scranton area, whom I had never met before.
One of the guys carried a tray of snow cones and gave me the extra one he had thoughtfully bought for someone who might "need" it. Need it? Man, that snow cone saved my life.
Oh yeah, and then the show. What a show! One of only two Grateful Dead concerts I ever attended, but I have been a huge Grateful Dead fan since.
What a sick show this was I
What a sick show this was I went to a couple on the east coast that year and had a blast with all my friends every now and again we try and get to a few concerts during the summer to remember the good old days, right now we got some radiohead tickets and will hopefully be getting some others next month got to see who playing and where.
