An amazing 3 set wonder outside under the Flatirons! A day I'll never forget. Thank you Rainbow family!

Park West Ski Area 9-4-83

Spent the day in Utah with the band up in the hills, where at least one person was observed entering the show under the canopy of a parachute, with purple smoke trailing behind him; some folks had set up a tarp in the middle of the crowd, upon which target the parachutist then made his graceful landing. As he passed over my head, I could see that he was dancing and had a ticket in his hand. Just a day like any other day, back when we had a Grateful Dead.

On This Date in Deadhead History

The background: This has been a Well tradition for some years now. The files were first compiled by former Well user Dave Blount, who turned his set of 366 files over to me when he left there. I post this list each morning, and it always generates a lot of talk. And sometimes we tell each other the same stories year after year... Set highlights and adjectives always up for debate - some are my highlights, some are Dave's, some are gleaned from other Well posts. So. Today is June 12. On this date in Deadhead history: - In 1967, the Grateful Dead played the Cheetah in New York City. - In 1970, the Grateful Dead played the Red Vest in Honolulu. - In 1976, the Grateful Dead played a great show at the Boston Music Hall in Boston, MA. The Dancin>Around>Sugar Mag>US Blues>SSDD is excellent. - In 1980, the Grateful Dead played the Portland Memorial Coliseum in Portland, OR. - In 1984, the Grateful Dead played Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO. - In 1987, the Grateful Dead played the County Fairgrounds in Ventura, CA. - In 1991, the Grateful Dead played the Charlotte Coliseum in Charlotte, NC. - In 1992, the Grateful Dead played the Knickerbocker Arena in Albany, NY.
