This was my very first Dead concert. I was a senior in high school and had attended a lot of rock concerts over the past few years, however, this was of course a horse of a different color!! Needless to say this concert changed my life as I got on the bus that night and have never gotten off of it!

I had just seen my 5th show 2 nights earlier in Indy , my first with "special enhancement". I was hooked. Hitched home 200 miles the next day. The day after that I woke up and said to myself, "Wow they're playing in Detroit tonight, it's only 350 miles. I got my friends mom to cash a check for me and with $20 I set off. Got there during the break and the ticket booth was closed. A cop inside jerked his thumb at some head and said, "You;re Lieutenant here's got a ticket." Ticket was $8, so I handed the head my $20 bill and he disappeared to get change. The cop looked at me like I was nuts until my new friend came back with my ticket and change.
