This started it all!
My very first show! I never looked back, and went on to 50+ more! 'Miracle' stands out in my memory as a good one.
For me too!
This was also my first show. Great Saturday night fun with my deadhead sister and all of my best friends and four way windowpane. Followed by all-night dead partying at the Deke house. First set Peggy-O (my favorite song at the time) was a treat the boys played just for me. Second set Stella Blue was a great winddown, with blue lights and soft breezes. Kicked off a mini-spring tour for me, with shows at New Haven, Providence, Nassau, and more.
holy cow!
accidently lost count of the squares I ate. lost my sh-t BIG TIME! intermission felt like I was in an alien airport. saw coloured threads of light streaming from the dancers...it was fun to weave psychedelic tapestries with them. Stella Blue was..er stellar! also the most potent Sugaree I ever saw in approximately 125 shows. second song of the night and in my opinion ...The PEAK!
My first hometown show
The bus came buy and we all got on. This night I think the majority of folks tripped and it was a zoo, but in a good fun prankster way. Great first set that was long and offered many treats, but a killer China>Rider, which would become a staple of the many great shows the Dead would play in Hartford, really got the place realing.The Dead understood many new fans had arrived and the second set schooled us "newbies" in those well traveled adventures. Stella was amazing and then wow an eruption of I Need A Miracle>Bertha> Good Lovin, it blew that new roof off the building and was a tip of the hat to the late 70's which was way cool and a blast. We all danced like there was no tomorrow. Saturday Nite had Bobby rocking us out one more time, another early 70's treat.
