Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

i had a buddy that said he could get me a part time job working security for the nassau coliseum.my first night was this show.the guy in charge told me i would have to cut off my ponytail.i said no way ,thats harassment.he told me to call him captain .he thought he was a cop.well anyway i worked that night and he told me i had to work outside,it was fucking cold outside.after the dead came on he told me to work crowd control by the stage.so me with my longjohns on sweated my ass off.he ordered me to stop the fans from dancing and to drag anybody i saw getting high to drag them out so he could beat them up.i took my place in front of the stage and every person i saw getting high turned me on.i was lighting joints for everyone and drinking and dancing with them.it was a great night and the dead were awsome.P.S.that was my last night .i got fired,

good for you.

good times

great second set, i remember bobby moving up and jumping as he was slamming chords during around and around. hard to explain in words but almost pete townsendish

God how I hated this venue. This was a great show - my first Althea....

That is the mistake in this list. They played Baby Blue for the encore the next night. Nassau was great if you were vending, anything. Those teenyboppers just came marching in from the suburbs. The boys could really let go there. I remember some monstrish space jams in that place.
