Insane 2nd set
Hartford Aud recording is one of best of over 2000 cd's collected so far. 2nd set flows from song to song and Jerry is "on"!!
First show north of Mason Dixon line
In Nov. 79, Diane, my wife and I move to Ct. This was our first show after arriving. I felt this was a really decent show. I still very much enjoy listening to this one on CD. Luckly there are some decent AUD copies of this show.
Didn't think to much about the fireworks some were setting off until the rocket during "Comes A Time". That was awesome. At a show I would attend later in life, Bob asks folks to vote if they want fireworks set off in the arena. There was a resounding NO.
About the only thing I didn't care for were the early Brent tunes. His contributions would get much better over time.
Everything I've learned is from The Grateful Dead and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
one of my first shows,,that infected my boogie woogie
comes a time,,,, when a blind man takes your hand says dont you see???first show or was it 3/14/80 new haven,,, all just melts into a dream,,, tgfor the archive and speeding arrow,, peace to all,,all to peace
This is indeed a fabulous
This is indeed a fabulous show (2nd set)
A Little Foggy..........
Drove down from UMass………….I recall partying in a parking lot before the show…..eating spaghetti…..everyone having a great time, Love and Peace and all that.
………….from what I can remember the show was pretty good........details????.....not sure.
…………..after the show our van wouldn't start…….needed a jump……..couldn’t get one person to help us out.
One guy said he would do it for ten bucks……..my friend told him to screw………so he did.
What ever happened to “Peace, Love and Understanding”????
Eventually we wound up back at “The Zoo”……………..not sure how though.
I give it a 7 out of 10....
As far as shows go....Comes a time, was a real treat.
My very first show
I was 14 and a half. My Mom died in a car accident in September of 1979. In May a 16 year old friend of mine with a car, bought me tickets to the show as he knew I was a huge dead head.
We were all set. We had grown a huge crop of "weed" in the woods near his house. We obviously didn't know what we were doing, as we almost got lung cancer going through about 4 pounds of it without feeling a thing.
Luckily I experienced the culture of the shows very quickly as some strangers helped to make it my first "mind blowing" experience.
Great memories ~
