Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo, NY (3/17/70)
They also played St. Stephen. The set wasn't all that long because they were sharing the stage with the Philharmonic and Yellow Brick Road, which later became just The Road. I remember TC throwing a couple of timed firecrackers into the air during the pause in St. Stephen. During Lovelight, Pigpen was singin' "take your hands out of yer pockets... and stop actin' like a fool".
Klienhan's Music Hall, March 3/17/70
Hey, this was the first concert I ever went to!! I was 15 then, and we had just moved. My older brothers took me.
Anyway, the stage is a hydraulic platform that was down and all you could see was a few red lights from the amps. The Road was playing away in front (or behind?) this stage and the crowd started to chant "HIT THE ROAD, ROAD!" Well, after a few moments, you couldn't even HEAR the Road. The MC came up on the stage and shouted at us all to quiet down, the Dead were not ready to play yet and the Road was not done anyway. So we got quiet. And eventually then they did play. Actually, they started with "Feedback" before the stage slowly rose out of the ground with the band on it running right in to the next song. I also remember a laser light show of some type, just a green squiggly line, moving to the music at some point in the concert.
Come on, there must be more than 3 people who were at this concert and are still alive and know about this site?

Dead at Kleinhans
This was my first Dead show - I was a senior at Niagara Falls High. I loved concerts at Kleinhans - I saw Led Zeppelin there the year before. I thought it was a great show, and it made me a Deadhead for life.
