Took the train from new brunswick, nj with college roommate..show hooked me hard.
Was a bit overwhelmed combo of factors, music, lights, certain chemicals....only enough money for one train ticket..buddy stowed away in bathroom(Amtrak) got thrown off the train in Trenton..tried to hop a freight train...got on but it was cold and we didn't know where we would end up..jumped off and slept in train station great adventure and was a dead head forever after...going to take my son to the farewell spectrum shows in MAY...
Does anyone know where I can buy or download a recording of this show? I heard it on the deadpod, and if I remember correctly it opened with a Big Railroad Blues and was a great show.
I was 14 and my bro was 15, this was a general admission show so we waited to get front row and boy did we wait. Anyhow once the lights went down and the boys came on stage the swell of the crowd just surged forward and practically lifted me off my feet. I was right in front of Jerry and all I remember was watching him switch from finger picking to regular picking like poof! it was flawless. Then there was Bobby spitting all over the place as he sang! We eventually had to get out of there during Big RR Blues because we were right up on the front boards and the crush was massive, Oh but what an experience it was! I'll NEVER forget it!

The Dead did not perform on 3/28/87.
RIP Philadelphia Spectrum
Makes me wonder if there is ANY other venue that can boast of hosting the boys in all the decades: 60's, 70's 80's and 90's...........
