Great show

First eastcoast Cumberland in years. Rare Might As Well. This, along with the next night, were nice long shows that were well played.

My favorite show

This was my second show. I was a sophmore at Lafayette College, made the short trip to Lehigh and had the time of my life. I danced and twirlled my way to shear delight. Jerry sang to me directly, asking "Long distance runner what you standing there for, get up, get off, get out of the door." Later Bobby told me "This must be Heaven, Here's where the Rainbow ends, At last it's the real thing or close enough to pretend" I still here them both, beckoning me to continue to move forward in my life, while celebrating the moments of heaven we've created here in our everyday. That's alot to get out of one Rock 'n Roll Show, how can it not be my favorite?

WOW!!!!!!!! i never danced

WOW!!!!!!!! i never danced like i danced at this show before. I loved that venue. small and plenty of room to dance. Even though it was over 25 years ago, I can remember it like it was 25 years ago.

 

My 1st show

I was a college student at the University of Delaware at the time. I can remember seeing the words "Grateful Dead" scribbled on walls, tables, and sidewalks all over campus, and wondering why those "Deadheads" were such fanatics. I went to the concert with my roommates. It was during "The Wheel" that I suddenly came to the realization that I was now one of those Deadheads (if the thunder don't get ya, then the lightning will!) I also remember Bob was having a problem with his amp, and pretended to shoot it while Jerry said something like, "Bobby's havin' trouble with his stuff!"
