wow my 1st NYE of many to come boy what I'd give !!@#%@$@!^&*&^@#$
NYE
Was able to get a ticket by getting online outside the ticketron
(I think thats what it was called then)at midnight.
The tix went onsale the next morning.Must have been a month or two before New Years.
The ticket place was a music store on telegraph avenue.
Wish I could remember more about the show
but I guess the many years and the LSD and the Wine that night
has affected the old memory.
Transcendental
This was my first show. I was 16 years old. An older hippie guy (maybe all of 25 years old ) came up to us outside in line and opened an ornate, velvet lined jewelry box and inside was a small card that said "Courtesy of the Grateful Dead" and there were a number of small pieces of paper each with a small, dried liquid dot.
I had heard a little bit of Europe '72 at that point, but I had no idea what I was in for. Winterland was bathed in black light and someone tossed hundreds of day-glo superballs from the balcony and they were constantly bouncing in out of your vision, off your head . . . There was a good light show and lots of explosions and fire balls ...
I recently downloaded this show and the music , starting with Truckin', which was probably like 3 am, is positively transcendental. I remember David Crosby sitting in.
Check out a recording of this show. The announcer for KSAN is so obviously dosed. It's hilarious.
Bummed!
Was living in Berkley at the time. Wanted to see this show bad. Pannhandled the line, got tics given to us. No sooner then we get in the lobby my bud crazy george started to broadcast that he needed some cid, Bill Grahm was standing in the lobby with some of his boot lickers and sicked them on george I got involved and we both got tossed out. Ended up trippin and listening to the concert on the simulcast.
1st Show
First show and was hooked. I treasure my copy of the show, also, New Riders/Son performances that night are on Wolf Gangs Vault.
