Grateful Dead

I remember this one well, as my partner Roger "Ramjet" Wheeler filmed iton 8mm movie film, wish I could relocate him, last I heard he had an foriegn car repair shop in Sacramento. I also got real drunk on Red Mountain Vin Rose' and had a free love session with some gal right in the middle of the crowd and there was alot of people taking pictures of it. I remember seeing Grace Slick sitting in their band's step van snorting coke with the Angels surrounding the van. It was a good early dead show along with the Airplane. Roger Ramjet got some real good filming of the Dead up close. It paid off being good friends with Angels...........

how funny, your comments-Budleyak, yes being friends with the HA is much better than not being friends. They were always like my big brothers.......Happy Trails, Gypsy Cowgirl

ps-we went to the park so much back then, I must've gone to this show-just dates are too foggy now........too much fun as a teenager

Being born and mostly raised in S.F. and having family roots of 5 generations, I would as a kid, being very influenced by slightly older friends be led to places, either polo fields, speedway meadows, down to the beach or Kezar or where ever and end up with some of the best memories, I am so thankful for all the wonderful people, who even wonderfully stoned, looked out for us younger ones in the midst of magic!

Is this the show where Steve Miller and Charlie Musselwhite were also on the bill with the Dead and Jefferson Airplane. I think I have pictures of Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia, I'll go look for them. DaddioEliot

I was there all the way. It was the last day of school at Grant High School in Oakland, and like fours cars of us left together from the school fgor the show and miraculously reunited. Red Mountain Burgundy @ $1.49/Gallon (!) was brought and passed around, along with much pot. As I (hazily) remember, the Airplane opened with a several hour set, followed by the Dead who returned with like nearly FOUR HOURS non stop. One of the more memorable shows, despite the impaired condition and the fact that I was 16 at the time! I'll be 60 this year if I make it 'til December, and just had the privilege of playing at a Jerry 70th birthday celebration here in Northampton, MA 43 years later!!! The message continues!!! Peace................

A bunch of us went to the Polo Grounds from Urban School. Grace Slick was talking gibberish into mic and someone said that Grace though she was a witch. Hell's Angels were fighting with chains during part of this show but it didn't last long. Nice day overall and it reminds me now of the Bill Graham memorial concert in GG Park which I was also at on 11/3/1991.

I sang after The Grateful Dead and before Jefferson Airplane. The crowd roared with approval.
