Grateful Dead

This was a great show! This place was really laid back with tons of people dancing from afternoon into the evening. I was blown away by how long this show was with boys performing 22 rocking tunes. In the afternoon a couple of hot air balloons flew over real low catching everybody by surprise including the band. A very fine China Rider into CC Rider was a nice jam. A very cool place and a great show!!!

This show occured at the end of a VERY memorable summer where I lived on a small commune north of Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was my first year away at college and the summer was spent both working hard and playing hard! This Dead concert was the perfect capper to the summer before classes resumed in the fall. It was made even sweeter due to some authentic Owsley's product which I received from a stage hand prior to the show. Needless to say that took me to an entirely different "space" during the concert! Ahh, to be 20 years old again with not a care in the world!!
