Love Jerry Love the band Love the music, love the jams Love the songs (60's and 70's, with a few later exceptions) BUT Have never, ever had any use or love for the Deadheads at those shows. I know but they are harmless (except to themselves). I saw a Dead Fan selling acid at a concert, directly in front of a uniformed police officer. The guy thought the cop was "part of his trip." The cop let him go and told him to get lost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was OK as long as the one's who really needed a bath stayed away from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw a fight between fans or with cops at any of the numerous concerts that I attended. If I even saw an argument I don't remember it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I was at a Further show NYE at the Bill Graham in SF (only saw the Dead once - Fell asleep during Space. Seriously? If you have to be stoned (and I wasn’t) to enjoy a song....sorry sorry I digress). Anyway the wife and I were sitting next to a young couple there with their 12 year old. I asked where they were from. South of San Jose I think. I asked when they did for a living. They said “we’re farmers). Well during the show they passed me a joint. I declined. Then during a set break they handed me a baggie. “Mushroom?” I said “you guys ARE farmers!” ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Park Ave Band were always a blast to see live in Rochester, while Shakedown Street filled those Northern Colorado canyons with sweet sounds. I saw them many times at the Warehouse back in the days. Max Creek, Resurrection and Holy Smoke played there a lot too. A couple of my favorite Dead shows were the 7/4/86 show at Rich stadium where the Dead opened for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and then Petty's band became Bob Dylan's band to close the show. Another great show was at Saratoga sometime in the early 80's. It was a warm drizzly day, at one point they were singing "Fire on the mountain" and you could see the lightning over the mountains in the distance. The music and camping were great that weekend. Also in the early 80's I saw an accoustic show with just Jerry, Robert Hunter and a stand up bass player at the Auditorium Theater in Rochester... great stuff. Lately it has just been the yearly DSO show at Frontier field that brings in a few thousand fans and they always play a great show. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to college in Albany and had a blast at that show with a bunch of friends. Easily one of the best shows of the year imo (1983). Here it is in its entirety. https://archive.org/details/gd83-06-18.senn421.nawrocki.14411.sbeok.shnf unfortunately I don't think there is a soundboard recording. There may be better taper recordings out there. Either way a great show, impossible to capture the energy of being there.⚡⚡⚡ Edited April 13, 2020 by Turk71 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 To me 1977 was their best year. If anyone is trying to get into the Dead I would suggest 5/8/77 Barton Hall, Cornell. Many say the best Scarlet/Fire ever. This show gets all the hype and for good reason as it was an excellent show but the next night 5/9/77 in Buffalo at the Aud was just as good IMHO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I would give 1977 the edge over 1972 for my fav year, those shows rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Tom Hamilton of JRAD, among others, just joined him onstage. The two of them jamming on acoustics with Don was slapping the stand up is really fun to watch, naturally Jay lane does a stellar job on drums as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Toll Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I just read through the whole thread and listened to a few of the vids posted. I have friends that are dead heads and one plays bass in a cover band. I appreciate everyone commenting on what it is that they love about the Dead. I have just never been swept away by them, but I love the enthusiasm that the fans have for the band. I don’t dislike them, but they don’t really move me strongly one way or the other. I am envious that they don’t register strongly with me the way they do for you guys. Funnily enough, my favorite band was mentioned in this thread, the Beach Boys! I guess Brian Wilson is to me what Jerry Garcia is to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it right there. I went to college in Sacramento, about a 1/3 of a mile from Cal Expo...the huge concert venue in Sac at the time. Every year when the Dead would come to Sac, the Dead Heads would find any piece of grass w/in a mile radius of Cal Expo and camp out. One of those pieces of lawn was adjacent to my apartment on busy Howe Ave. I'd look out and see these folks all week. I didn't have to go to the concert to "smell the crowd." I smelled it whenever I opened my windows. Hot, summer Sacramento. The scent of herb, body odor, patchouli. I hated Dead week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Brian Wilson is to me what Jerry Garcia is to you. 2.5 years ago I brought 2 friends, north of 50, to see dead and company in Camden NJ. My one bud is as conservative and reserved as they come. He now asks me each year what shows we're going to. It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but it's a whole lot of fun watching people get on the bus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Cornell 5/8/77. Considered by many to be one of the greatest shows they ever did. Happy 43rd year anniversary today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
