Grateful Dead

I always hoped they would do a multi night run at Rich but it never happened. This show was 6/12/1993

Sting was just ok. He would be much better in asmaller venue. Had another great night. Somewhat sad about the performance, the end was near. Still, everyone danced and jammed and forgot about the world for a few hours. Isn't that the point?? Truckin' gave evryone a lift. Cassidy reminded me of '77. Again, a night to remember for many reasons.

This was one of only a couple of times I got to see them and it was my first show. I remember realizing at one point that I was surrounded by an entire stadium of dancing people. It was beautiful.

for some reason I remember all of the canadians trying to barter with canadian cash...

This was my first show after a 4 year hiatus. A huge "Thank You! (for a real good time)" to Scott F. for dragging me out of my cave for this one and also for taking me to see JGB in Syracuse later the same year. Lord knows I needed it...

This was my last show. JG passed away on my daughter's 12th birthday. Sad day for all. Glad that the others are still making music. Seeing Ratdog in a few weeks.

"they're all wasted"

Let's not forget the Tea in the Sahara moment when Jerry sat in with Sting. Hot band, esp Vinnie. I think it was a bit of a trip for Sting to open for the Dead - not a lot of people in the stands or listening very hard, but good music.

Ahhh yes, my first show. Too much fun in the parking lot meant not remembering much of the music but remembering it being extremely hot that day. Lots of beer and other things kept me from enjoying the show. I do remember the ride home was terrible, Buffalo to Westmoreland (4.5 hours) with the heat being stuck in my Renault Encore. As I got older I waited for the show to start before experimenting with mind expanders. Still, there is always something very special about your first time.

I had seen much more high energy, and musically interesting shows before, but in my memory there was something very sweet about this one. Loved hearing Phil sing Broken Arrow, which I only knew because my father rocked the Rod Stewart box set, so that was a trip. And if I remember right, Phil had a neon yellow shirt on. Cassidy while seagulls swarmed the rafters of the stage was another highlight. Wandered onto the floor freely at one point and it was very chill. Then people stormed in at the opening of the 2nd set and by the encore I was at the top of the stadium slightly uncomfortable seeing the number of people packed in there.

This was unfortunately my 1 and only Dead show. I seriously thought Jerry was going to die that day because of the heat! Very crazy day indeed...met a lot of great people, the show was spectacular of course, the girl sitting next to me barfed in a giant slushy cup during drums (apparently the back and forth sound waves fucked her up), 25 years later I find myself rediscovering the GD and all it's glory!

Went with great people and laughed in boiling sun!!!! Got on the floor for 1st time. Looks like rain was great!
