This was my second show, and

This was my second show, and the one that hooked me into becoming a rabid Dead Head!

My first show... Can't say I

My first show... Can't say I remember it so well but I am sure I had a great time.

ABC Concert Series

Parts were broadcast on ABC's late night concert series. Probably why they opened with Eyes...to get the crowd all fired up on camera. (It worked!!!!)

C'mon, just play the Dark Star

Unbelievable opener that was almost trumped by a first set Dark Star. Great, great show. This was @ my 25 the show and caught three firsts; Saint, Speedway and China Doll. Not another Dark Star though. That's OK, Eyes OPENER!!

"Yea They're opening with Eye, sure"

Once the noodleling started every one was screaming "Eyes"! Me and my buddy Jay were looking at each other saying "yea sure" Well, they shut us up hu? sonicutes said 3 songs were broadcast on ABC along with other videos for the "Deadicated" album. You know they wouldn't have just recorded 3 songs, they recorded the whole show (Maybe the other night too). How about getting the view from the vault series running again with this show?

Woven

Amazing, unique show. I went to this one and loved every minute of the Dark Star theme woven throughout almost the entire show. Very special indeed.

The Best

Maybe the best show I went to. They took me to a new level with this concert. I also seem to remember while we were leaving the stadium we were exchanging cheers with the parking lot crowd over how good the show was. Eyes,Loose Lucy,New Speedway great variety and great order for just a few. Might As Well forever

It was cool, when they

It was cool, when they opened up with "eyes of the world" the big screen had the steal your face logo come up from far away spinning like a top and then stopped close up as the band began to play. A friend of mine went w/ me and was bored, never to go to another show. He did buy a Tee though...

Awesome show

This was the BEST of the more than 100 shows I saw. During intermission I was standing on one of the circular ramps, enjoying the sunset and warm breeze, when a guy next to me offered me a dose. I accepted, and VOILA!, the second set was even better than the first. :-) Hornsby was playing great, and the boys really took us for a ride that night!

Hot Nite

Great Show. I was up in the last row of the top of the stadium looking out at NYC and going crazy with some Dirvishes.

see here how everything,

see here how everything, lead up to this day

very nice indeed

see here how everything, lead up to this day beautiful show with lots of great improvisation througout

Hot Nite

I must have been sitting right by you. Did you see the kid beat the hell out of that security guy out on the field.

i was there with mike and rick windish

closest I ever got to a dark star - furthest away from the stage as possible but good times

A real "Eyes opening" show

A terrific show all around made more special with that "Eyes of the World" opener. Never would they open with the tune, so what a special moment in GD history.

my 1st show

for me, nothing was the same after the 17th

The Grateful Dead saved my life...

I went to this show and the night before on the spur of the moment. A friend of mine asked me to go and I traded shifts with a co-worker. Well the night I took the shift our job (a liquor store) was stuck up just after closing. The manager identified the stick up crew and while I was away at the show - the night before the arraignment - somebody came by the job at closing and shot my manager in the face with my friend working my shift only a few feet away....if I wasn't seeing the show, I would have been sitting in the car with my manager catching a ride...I'd probably be dead. The Grateful Dead saved my life.

My first show...

...and they opened with my all-time favorite Dead tune, "Eyes". 'Nuff said.

great night

really enjoyed this show from the 4th row with the line-up fully in place and geling

Birthday show

This was my Birthday show.. and what a show... we ran into some Very cool people from Connecticut.. Would love to see how they have been after 20 years... if you where at the show and lived in Conuuecticut... hit me up... Zach

What a show

This was my 1st show and man was it awesome.. We went up to North Jersey from Atlantic City, I had $60 and my friend Richard and Aunt Marge each had only $50. We did not have tickets and their were thousands of fingers in the air needing miracles. We walked around for hours with fingers in the air. I bought 3 for $10 blotter on a grassy hill out front and continued looking for that miracle. We walked around fingers pointing str8 up for about 4 hours until finally we couldn't hold our arms up anymore. Not 30 seconds later this dude walks up to us and says "hey I have 3 tickets $40 each". Honestly I made the dude walk to the gate with me to make sure they were real tickets cause nobody was selling a ticket for under $60. We were really looking for that miracle cause we didn't even have enough for what the scalpers were asking. Anyway long story short the tickets were real and general admission. We had a friend named Randy working the sound booth in the middle of Meadowlands. It started raining really hard right before the Dead came on so I screamed up to Randy throw me down a tarp. We got that tarp and that got us down within 10 rows of Jerry. By now my blotter was working and the Dead came out with Eyes Of The World and blew my freaking mind. Half way threw the show a beautiful young girl got up on the chair in front of me and turned around, looked right in my eyes,dropped her dress and proceeded to dance in front of my tripping face with a bowa constrictor snake. No freaking lie this is what happened to me at my first Dead show and this was the show. Richard and my Aunt had been to many shows and said they played an exceptional show that night. And after seeing many shows after this meadow lands show there is no doubt this was a GREAT show and by far my favorite. It was one of the greatest nights of my life and I will NEVER FORGET IT.. thx for reading peace... Robospine09....

Is it really 23 years ago tonight?

Stuck in the parking lot during torrential rain storm and missed Little Feat. Rain stops and I ran into Giants Stadium - Sun is setting about 8:30 and Dead come on and open with Eyes. In the set list for this show were several Dark Star teases spread over the entire night into Tuesday Morning 6-18-91...WALSTIB

THE MELTDOWN

A big fat "Eyes Of The World" to open, then they teased "Dark Star" all night. I named the jam after "Uncle John's" "This Is"
