My first show as well....drove 200 miles to get tix earlier that month. We were about 8th in line at 2:30 in the morning, but didn't have "big city" ways and people kept butting in line to the point that we were the first people to be informed it was a sellout! (We saw scalpers walking away with stacks of tix 5 inches thick.) We befriended a local hippie and he helped us get tix the next day from a hotel. I was so excited I fell asleep at the show....remembering the days when the Chicago audience would yell at people who were dancing to "siddown!"
thats so funny and so true! thats why i liked the auditorium theater always got the 2nd floor boxes stage left , 6 seats, a curtain behind us to keepin out prying eyes and room for dancing with no one to yell at you : )
My friends said "REALLY ! There is NOTHING like a Grateful dead show".. I was like..... hmmmmmmm ... I GOTTA SEE THIS !
I was 26 ...the evening was full of cloudy dreams unreal...Full of tastes no tongue can know, and lights no eyes can see... and I heard tunes.. When there was no ear to hear.
Since that night in Chicago ... My life was forever changed for the better .... I am forever Grateful.
Please do random acts of kindness !
Boy I just remember Donna Jean dancing and swaying during the Wheel. It was love at first sight. That was the day I jumped on the bus and I've been there ever since. Its been well worth it. This bus makes life alot easier. Thanks guys and gals.
