My very first show was during this tour in the Fall.November '85. Pembrook Pines, Florida at the Hollywood Sportatorium. I went with a few friends that I had met in Art School in Fort Lauderdale. "Big Steve" a taper from Massachusetts, and Steve, a hippie from upstate NY. I had heard so much about the shows and was really looking forward to the experience and honestly a bit nervous. As soon as I walked through the doors i was in awe. Everyone was so happy to be there. But not like any other "concert" i had been to previously. This was very different. There was a "VIBE" in the air that was not describable but felt sooo good. within 15 minutes, this guy runs up to me as if he could tell this was my first show, and put a wrist band on my wrist and said "You'll need this". At first I was nervous. "did this guy just dose me or something"? I thought to myself. Because of some of the stories I had heard.Only to find out it was so I could get down on the floor. I wondered the floor in amazement of everything that was going on around me. Then I found myself front stage center right in front of Bobby. "Wow" I thought as I looked to the right side of the stage, "So that's Jerry Garcia, how cool is this?" From then on it was all about the music the rest of the night. After the show I ran into an old friend on shakedown street whom I hadnt seen for years. She and her boyfriend were living out of their VW bug and hand painting t-shirts while on tour. I gave them a place to crash for the night and when I woke in the morning they were gone and had left me one of their shirts and a sunflower along with a small note that simply said "PEACE" with x's and o's. To this day, I have yet to see her again. Thanks for the memory PEACE! xoxo ArtistAJL
