After 8 long years I finally was able to see the Dead again in concert. I'd been away from Michigan living in Alaska & Alabama for a while and they didn't play there either during that time. So, needless to say I was ready for this concert and they didn't let me down!
Of course this was the beginning of the era of the BIG Dead shows what with "Touch of Grey" being a hit record and all. Naturally this meant tickets were harder to come by and the vibe at the shows was different to say the least. Nevertheless, I felt like I was back at home!
