Watkins Glenn Show
It was, & still is the craziest Dead show I was ever at. Back when America was still a FREE Country, anything & everything happened & went, at this show! Had a real high time there, along with a attendence breaking 600,000 plus other people, The Band, & The Allman Brothers Band, all the bands got together & jammed on a song or two. The Dead got into "Space" at the hieghth of the thunder storm that happened, what a trip!

sound check
heard the music from our campsite and came down to check things out. the dead were in full swing. played a 2 1/2 hr. set to delight of me and about 150,000+. Pretty cool.
summer jam
i lived in groton ny approx 25 miles from watkins glen. 16 years old at the time. had "provisions" and tents for 20 fellow dead heads.4 of us went early to set up camp and never saw another person from our group the entire weekend. girl that drove was "pat wack" and she took a whole hit saturday and deserted me and 2 others with the rented tents. we built a travois and dragged the supplies about 10 miles standing on the bumper of a vw convertable til we could reach someone to pick us up. going so fast the travois was on fire....
trickrider : second Dead
trickrider : second Dead show for me. It was indeed impressive - esp. that jam at the end with everyone! I still remember walking back thru town and all the residents staring out from their windows and porches and all the garbage we were wading thru. I was unfortunate enough to have purchased a ticket!
A human pillow for a few freaks
Saw the band in Scranton in 71, this was the next event of The Dead for me. The great think was to see The Band,The Dead and Allmans on the same stage. On Friday night I feel asoleep in my sleeping bag in the middle of the crowd. In the morning woke with a tent pitched across my feet and a couple useing legs as a pillow. They were going at it and that is what how I woke up. I pulled my feet away and the tent collapsed and out cam to naked bodies.They were not stoned and not aware that I was part of thiewr sleeping arrangment.
