Yes this is the one 11/10/1973
Yes this is my first show but it is still a blurr.... it was either the 10th or the 11 I'm thinking 10th since mom's birthday was the 11th. I stayed over a friend's and went with him and his bothers to see the DEAD. What my parents will never know, oh sweet 16.
Playing/Uncle Johns Band/Dew Jam can't wait.....
Oh yeah they keep call my name 'barry barry' oh no it's 'jerry jerry'

I was there
This was a super show. It was the 3rd time I saw the dead, but the first time I saw them having heard everything they'd released up to that point. I was living at this music school on Jackson St. about a mile north and I went to the show the next night, too. No, the people who ran the music school didn't condone going to rock concerts. Oh, well.
I got in line at 7AM with a loaf of raisin bread and a 6 pack of beer. It was raining pretty much all day. Not a problem. There were already about 30 people in line when I got there. At noon or so it stopped raining so some of us played catch with a football right in the street. One of the other guys in line I recognized when I saw the line scenes in the Grateful Dead movie. They let us in at 4PM; they started playing at 7:30. I was 2nd person back right between Jerry and Bob.
At one point someone threw a rose at Bob. It got stuck between his fingers and the guitar while he switched chords. He didn't even notice it for a few seconds; didn't affect the sound. After the first encore they took awhile (10-15 minutes) before coming back on. We kept making noise and they did Casey Jones, repeating the chorus what seemed like 12 times or so.
Normally I would have wanted to crash after consuming as much 'substance' as I did all day and night, but I felt so high just from the experience that I went home and stayed up until 3AM practicing piano at the school.
Next day I didn't get in line until 4:30 PM.
