I was born in
I was born in Sacramento............... My buddy Ian went to a Cal Expo show. I did too, but it was Weird Al and the Monkeys.

mind blown - first time
this was my first concert of any kind, the Dead had an incredible electric energy? about them, the crowd was wild with jumping and arms in the air. I was transported forever into a region of energy-love awareness, no other music has captured me like that first time, except subsequent Dead shows have come close. since then I have sought out the Dead when visiting America from Alaska.
First Dead Show
My first Dead show. New Riders opened, I was very high, saw Jerry onstage with the band, and got confused until the fog cleared and Marmaduke sang about robbing the Glendale Train. After the Dead's first set, I asked for a ride home until I was told this was just the beginning. This was a whole new kettle of fish. There appears to be no set list or a tape of this show. I know they closed with Lovelight, but that's all I can swear to.
