Franklin County Field
Location
Rode my motorcycle from NYC to see the show. Never thought it would be the last ride to a Dead show. Went to Bike week in Laconia from there and met up with friends from the city. On to Giants Stadium the next week for my last show.
The venue was beautiful -- I adore Vermont. It was the first time the hordes had descended on this tiny, nowhere town, and the locals were so kind and welcoming. I imagine it was like the circus coming to town. I remember feeling so lovely and psyched when after sitting in traffic for hours on the single highway into town, we saw the giant hot air balloon that said WELCOME DEADHEADS. Even the cops were nice, as is so often true in Vermont.
One of my favorite venues. I remember Jerry forgot the words to Uncle John's Band, and sang "How does this song go?" with extra gusto. Hee.

Brent Rogers This was the last time i danced with Jerry. It was an awesome show! ;-] We miss you Jerry, love the fam.
This was my first and only show I had just discovered the dead. This was also the last road trip a group of special friends had together after that weekend life took off and we have never been all together in the same time or place together since. So Danforth, Radio Boy, Amanda and especially you Danielle where have we all gone and will we ever be back....
Me and Radio got caught at the gate as the crowd rushed it we were pressed against the chain link for what seemed like forever I thought I was going to die the "security" opened the gate and we broke through just to be pushed and roughed up by the rent a cops so we fought our way past them into the see of humanity. We missed dylan the rest of the show was fun but there seemed to be a lot of people there for the party instead of the dead.
The trip from upstate NY was the best part meeting people in the trafic jam and loving the weather and the music.
I really wish I could have caught another show maybe someday I will get a chance to catch further...
