Hometown Show!
My mother went to this show. She wanted to see what her sons were into. Oops. My mother, god rest her soul, died of breast cancer in 1995. She was a wonderful christian woman who was very straightlaced and proper. She loved the first set. It was kind of bluesy, rockin', with a little country thrown in. The trouble started between the sets. Some guy stripped all of his cloths off in the middle of the floor and was walking around on his knees literally jacking himself off. Beautiful, fucking beautiful. Also, with the lights up, mom could see all the freaks sparkin' and communing. The things that we cherish don't always get understood by our parents, Then to top it off the second set was an intense psychodelic music fest. My mom was done somewhere in the middle of the space. She didn't last to the end of the show. Needless to say she left upset bless her. I remeber being worried about her going out to her car alone. I do want to say we didn't bring her, she went and bought herself a ticket and was going to go so we of course tried to chaporone. There is only so much you can do. Great show and I had conversations with my mom later over the years and she understood the attraction and thought that the Dead were talented musicians but the lifestyle was not to her satisfaction. Peace.

I was warned about Charlotte but was dumb enough to just about get busted there. I never made it back to another show in NC.
always loved Charlotte
I lived there for a short time, which while not great for me personally meant I saw a few kick ass shows.

Elston64,
My first show in the east. Took a camera to this one and got really good slides. Right in front of Bobby but I didn't get wet. Mostly got shots of Jerry because of my limited line of sight in the gen admission audience. Very crowded in contrast to the Ventura shows that I attended. My buddy's girlfriend wasn't feeling well so they left the crowded floor before the show started. After the first set I went looking for my friends and came to a clearing in this sea of people. Damn near ran over that naked guy that Dougles and his poor mother saw. (Great story Dougles!). Actually walked around a bit and came back and the was still there but masterbating this time. The crowd in the stands were throwing cups and shit at him. This was the start of a run of shows where I kept running into naked people.
First of many
This was my first show also... I had met up with a hardcore head in my freshmen dorm. He had the tix and stuff, I had a car so we left our home in Norfolk, Va... we hit the road to head home after the show, but ran out of diesel as we coasted into a rest area. There were already a few other deadheads set to camp there for the night so we slept in the car. Next morning, we found a trucker that allowed us to dip some fule from his tank with a plastic cup... got enough to make it to the next gas station. The first of many great Dead trips to come!
