Grateful Dead All-Night Driving Team

Drove all night to this show solo from college in Ohio. In the 800th hour of driving pulled over at a gas station and painted "Grateful Dead All Night Driving Team" on the side of the car. Got waved over later my an older gentleman who told me that he was the father of Candice (the Dead's lighting person). Might have been true...

I always wanted the Dead to play at MY college... until I saw this show. They opened the hall, and in the first two minutes someone accidently ripped the door right off the hinges. Oops.

it was HOT in there

Heavy dose that night...great show with lots of fun on the floor

Camped out

in a field on campus and nobody bothered us! Spent the day milling around town having a high time meeting all kinds of wonderful people. Helped out some locals and bought a " dead place to be" shirt. Thanks for the hospitality, you rock! We were five rows back from the stage and I had one of those moments we've all experienced when you're hair stands on end. It was during It's All Over Now Baby Blue. I was up swaying and groovin' with what the guys on stage were sharing with us when I felt like I was being singled out for some reason- yeah I know, weird. I opened my eyes and looked around and I was the only one standing. really. I looked at the stage and Jer was staring at me. I smiled and quickly sat down. My apologies if I was blocking anybodys view.

 

Oops!

Grateful Dead All-Night Driving Team story (above) belongs to the previous show (Lafayette) and not here. Check out the cool photo on that page that goes with the story!
