This was my first show. The dad of one of my friends (7th grade!) was somehow involved with management at CapCentre, and thought it'd be cool to get us girls in for the show. I wish I remembered any of it, except for knowing that I was there.

This was a rockin' show!

Though this was probably the third best out of the three nights in a row before they went to Europe, it was a rockin' show. If you like to hear the dead just rip it up with mostly high energy rockin' stuff then this is the show for you. Loved the Cap Center, Oh, lost again. lol

Show #5

I saw the Rolling Stones at JFK the day before and was returning to school in Danville that night after the show. What a weekend road trip for a college kid. Lots of bolagna and cheese sandwiches, beer, and energy. Got back to school at 9:00am for the 9:10 class on Monday morning. The band and scene continued too snowball into my life. The Stones party was bigger, but the Deads party was better. I was running into old High School friends, (I'm from Virginia outside the DC area) getting into the same thing. "Something is happening here, but I don't know what it is....."

This was my first show and I

This was my first show and I just kept going back to see them when ever I could until the last tour of 1995. I miss jerry. Anyway I enjoyed it very much. I have a kick ass quality CD of the show so I can go back anytime I want and remember. Good stuff.

my first show also

my first show. the place was just swirling lights, mad rumbles and odd rhythms to me. think i recognized mexicali blues from skeletons from the closet.. also, my first concert of any kind. 150 shows later and 15 years later, it was the correct choice.

First Grateful Dead Roadtrip

Took off in a VW microbus -with 5 friends from Ferrum College -a keg of beer and enough phenethylamines to determine that the" Dead" experience was crucial. When the band started playing Truckin' I think the entire universe smiled from right there in PG county Md. all the way back to the blue ridge mountains.

my first show as well

hitchiked down from philadelphia ,got dosed ,mad fun dancing in the hallways.Saw the Stones the day before in philly ,not nearly the sense of brotherhood ,that deadheads showered me with.

99 children had a chance to go

I remember in the parking lot after the show there were those headed home and those off to Europe. Sadly, I was headed back to New Jersey. A month later Jerry Band was at The Tower for Halloween though, but we can't talk about Jerry Band here, can we?
