I had some of the best seats ever for this show - 10 rows back right in front of Jerry. I swear my body levitated during Stella. One of my all-time favorite Philly shows.

Everything is not for everybdy which is true but I just started useing this forum its funny your username caught my eye. so we have a least the spectrum in common. I guess my first spectrum show was around 1972 and I know I saw over the years more than 50 shows. The ammount of mind expanding music played by the band was vast and golden. Iam sure your show was life alttering I know mine was. My first was in Providence in 1971 I Even got backstage and one of the crew gave me some liquid LSD. You could say I was also hooked. The best thing the dead ever did was help me find my true love. I met her at a 1987 show in Providence. hope to hear from you. Those of use that got to see the band are brothers and sisters. Gotta go so later my sister.

A great friend took me to this show for my 14th Birthday and as has been said... I too was hooked from the second the show started. And WOW now it's 28 years later and this weekend, on the same day May 2nd, I had another unforgettable Birthday Celebration with my Dead family and friends..... Thank you Jerry for bring your brothers back together. Long live the Dead!
