My first show
I was 16 years old, and a buddy had an extra ticket that I gladly accepted. The Dead were already real popular in my little town in NJ (Cranford)...I had heard them plenty for a few years going back to Live/Dead, Workingman's, etc. A bunch of folks I knew were going to the shows of this three-day run in nearby Jersey City. But I had no idea what I was in for. The Stanley Theatre is a magnificent old movie palace (built in the 1930s?). And it was a monster show. It didn't take long that night before I know/felt I was in the presence of some very special, powerful energy. I walked out transformed...and from then on tried to see 'em as often as possible.
