Excellent show...hooked me for eternity...
This was my first concert and it was the Grateful Dead. I was 13 years old. I remember that we dressed as skeletons as it was almost Halloween. Imagine, my first concert was the Grateful Dead and I got to hear them play Dark Star! That was it, I was hooked for life. Love to get this show on "tape", for posterity's sake...
Also my first show.
How about that, I join up to this deal and the top post is about a show that was also my first. Saw a few shows there in my hometown of St. Louis. Lots of Jake's Leg, too. Great town, I miss everything but the heat.
First of many
This also was my first show, and I didn't know much beyond "American Beauty," "Workingmans Dead" and "Skull and Roses" at that time. I remember a lot of dope being smoked, the "Me and My Uncle" and "Johnny B. Goode," and looking up at the clock, most likely during "Dark Star," and saying of Jerry, "He's been playing for 40 minutes straight!" It was the only "Dark Star" I ever experienced live, and I have no real memory of it, other than Jerry up there playing.

The Dark Star in question was featured on this particular program. Request it- I'll bet it gets featured some Wednsday.
