Is it me, or were the boys consistently great at Nassau Coliseum? Never missed a show there from 78 through 84.

First show

I think this was my first dead show - it was one of the first as I distinctly remember the Half-step into Franklins Tower - Cape Cod could have been first because I also remember driving up to the Cape in my pals giant station wagon. A whole carload of high school kids going to our first shows, what a blast!!! Memory is a little faded after 25+ years but I know we were having fun.

My First Show

This was the first show I went to and the guy that brought me bought me a little bumper sticker that said, appropriately, "There's nothing like a Grateful Dead Show." Truer words were never spoken. What a wonderful intro into the GD Family. I'm sure if I looked hard enough I could find the sticker..and the recording of the show he gave me for my 16th birthday a few weeks later.

Thank you, Monty. It has, indeed, been a long, strange trip.
