Love the photo. My twin brother, sister, and I had just moved to California in the summer of 1970. We hitchhiked up to San Francisco on 12/31 to see if we could get into the concert on our "good looks." We had no money and no where to stay. It was one of those not so brilliant ideas, we didn't get in, but we had a lot of fun anyway.
That was my second show! At midnight that silly blinking sign that said "Grateful Dead" came down all lit & blinking, along with this huge skeleton made out of styrofoam and it glowed that really cool purply - blue colour. I sat in the seats straight back under the balcony. I scored some hash outside and smoked it all at once ( nobody told me to smoke a little at a time)... Thanks Choochie for the memory jog
I haven't even begun to deal with Jerry's death and all it entails. For the last 12 years on the first warm day of spring I have the excitment of "touring time" and then I realize it's over.
I met some really intersting Grateful Dead fans ( or deadheads ) last month, and they were in their twenties. To be honest, I don't think I've ever listened to an album, but their longevity says something about their talent. Hope you doing well Annie, and a big hug.

Lots of great memories though.
