I was on the stage level just to the right of the keyboards. I could see Jerry looking at Brent all night. Jerry was watching me and my Friends dance all night..I swear I held up a lighter and turned up the flame as I was lighting something?? I could see the flame from my lighter in Jerrys glasses, and he just grinned and started into Must have been the Roses...Classic Jerry

 

The end of a 7 year drought!

After seeing the Dead every year from 76'-80', they didn't play in the Detroit area 81'-83' ( I was away at college and living in Alaska during that time anyways) & when they played in 84' I was stuck in army basic training in Alabama, but that's another story! Anyways, they FINALLY performed in Detroit again in 88' and I was more than ready to see them again. This tour, of course, is when Touch of Grey was on the charts, so it was a sell out (which didn't always happen in Detroit, which may explain why they skipped playing here sometimes?). In any event,the show was smokin' hot and the audience ate it up and I felt right back home again, despite the presence of all the new "Touch of Grey posers"!
