My brother and girlfriend's 1st show

I dragged my brother to this show, and he couldn't wait to go again. My girlfriend at the time was an easier sell, but it was her 1st show too. Laura wanted the "full" Dead experience, so we tripped (way hard) and totally had a blast. The second set was out of this world!

That Picasso Moon kicked ass

I hung back with the taper section. Could not figure out whether I wanted to watch the band, the great moon or the Chicago skyline. Lovely.l

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shineI

Damn i love the Dead

As i write this review , i whistle the BMR that i saw on 7 5 95 in St Louis . I should be whistling the Heavens door from this show

This show is probably one of the best days in my 32 years of life . I was 19 , it was my 2nd show . Two days after the strong 7 21 at the Creek .

We ran into - this was all planned - into like 5 or 6 friends from Iowa outside before . I had one of my friends' tickets . And he was glad to see me . You can picture that scene . Absolute releif , smiles , good vibes . All I could think of was ? Hell in a bucket ' . I wanted it the way a linebacker wants to flatten a QB well . . during a football game .

Anyhow , Picasso satarted off , and soon after began to pick up speed and momentum . And gave in to a ( i think ) the best sugaree in 94 , next to da July 2 Mtnvw .

The rest of the set continues good . BE Woman and cassidy shine like gold .

And before the 2nd set , those first few notes of Lucy in the sky , made the 60,000 plus folks in chicago ' wake up ' , and react in such a way that was obviously orgasmic .

That 2nd set continued nicely into a Terrapin that has to be heard on tape . The transition between playin and Terr is intriguing . I don t hink it ve heard a transition like that since the July 28 1982 show at Red rocks . Awesome versions . D / S and then a very typical post space Other / Rat / Sat PM . O1 was nice . Wharf rat was kindly executed . And Sat PM wasnt bad . But the Heavens door encore was that nice dessert we all needed . Or that after meal cigarette [ a fine one of course ]

Thanks GD . Words dont come close to describing what experiences you , and much of the crowd grooving along gave us while on planet earth . Thanx
