"This is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago"
I started seeing the Dead in March of 1973 -
We went to many, many shows over the next 23 years
When Jerry Garcia died on August 9, 1995,
Here's some Dead-related links:
I like to think of that show
as the
first "official" date
that I had
with the man I am still with 25+ years later.
During the summer that same year, we went to
to Watkins Glen Speedway to see the Allman Brothers, the Band
and the Dead.
There were upwards of 500,000 people there - maybe the
biggest concert ever? - certainly for that time.
I really went to that show because I thought
Bob Dylan
would show up - being so close to Woodstock and all.
("all the years combine"),
some of which I wrote
reviews
of and some of which I have
CDs
of.
I experienced the kind of
mourning
one would only expect
with the passing of a very dear friend -
which, in fact, he was, though we had never met -
well, at least not while he was alive ;-)
