my first show!
went w/ my then fiance and his friend. we made it onto the field of the "Cheerio Bowl" (aka rfk stadium) and up to the front. it was insanely hot! I had the BEST klondike bar ever made from some guy selling them out of a milk crate on the field....mmmmm...... :)
it's been a long strange trip since then and i'm looking forward to seeing the dead in philly 5/2/09!

My first show.. Ironically
My first show..
Ironically io was there the last time ANY concert was played at JFK, and guess who it was thats rightr the Grateful Dead.
They condemned the building the next day as i recall.
Regardless of the number of people that place was the shit!!
My First Show!
My sister brought me to this show, it was my first and the first set was awesome!! Loved Iko Iko opening! We got posters which we asked the guys we were with to hold for us. Then we got lost during set break & my sister started freaking out so we had to leave the show!! We missed the whole 2nd set but we could hear Dylan jamming with The Dead from the parking lot (which we circled many times 'till we found our car). The guys showed up and they had our posters!! Mine traveled to California & back to Buffalo and has always hung in my room where it rests today!
I was hooked!

at least I was awake
man, was it ever hot. and another in an exhausting series of stadium dates in the sun, especially if you haven't been getting much sleep (for one reason or another).
but this was a first for me -- my buddy John actually fell ASLEEP during Terrapin and didn't wake up until Saturday Night (the song, that is), even those he was dosed.
the show was worth staying awake for, even if it was disappointing the dead only did one long extended solo set (instead of two, as with the Giant's Stadium date). weird feeling the shift to "second set songs" without the band leaving the stage for an hour...
Last Minute Miracle
I'd graduated from college earlier that year. Moved in with a roomie at 2nd & Carpenter. We both got new motorcycles and wanted to break them in. So we took off down Delaware Ave and ended up at JFK, when we remembered, "Oh shII, there's a show tonight." So we pulled over and got tix at the door.
My first rock concert was Dylan & The Band in 1974 at The Spectrum. So this was my second Dylan show, but my sixth (or thereabouts) Dead show.
Wandering minstrels inside the stadium, we wandered the field, met up with all manner of wonderful freakish people, and ended up way up in the stands with Pierre Robert - who was everywhere that day.
We had a high time, livin' the good life.
