Back in 1983 I was living in Madison, Wisconsin. One night, a few weeks before this run of benefit shows, I ordered a pizza, and the delivery guy noticed I was wearing a Grateful Dead T-shirt. We struck up a conversation, and he told me he heard that mail order tickets for shows just about anywhere would now be available. A few weeks later I had tickets in hand for this night. After a two and a half day bus ride there I was, on Market Street in front of the Warfield Theater. As I entered, I suspected my seat (there was theater seating on the floor back then) was likely somewhere in the back, but the usher kept walking me further, and further up towards the front. Imagine my surprise when I ended up in the third row, so close I felt as though I could reach out and touch the band. I had one hell of a time at this show. Thanks to the band, and everyone at GD Tickets for setting up the mail order service, and giving me a great experience I'll never forget!
