My first show at Wonderland (Toronto)in 1984 which was a benefit for SEVA and hosted by Ken Kesey. The Band played too but I missed them. I went solo because I couldn't find anyone to go with. Not really knowing what to expect I ventured through the parking lot to the sound of sitar music and ankle bracelets. I bought a ticket and had a seat up front but I was having too much fun dancing in the aisles to make it there.

 In my house in bed, late afternoon, 
I awoke to GD playing on the Radio, it never happened in Tulsa, and it was one song after
another, then I heard the announcement and I was in disbelief, I was holding tickets to NYC
show, which of course never happened, I still have those tickets today. I love him, I miss
him, and I know he's playing that big gig with the big man.

No

I was booming hard on an 8th of mushrooms and a beautiful kid with a twirler
dress on gave me a huge hug and slipped me a hit of paper and said nothing more than "Love

working packing boxes in the shipping department of an electronics store.
My then-girlfriend (now wife) Mary called me and said "Jerry Garcia is dead." and I said
"you're not kidding?"
and she said "No, turn on WSB" - and sure enough within minutes there it was.
The rest of the day was a numb blur.

Yes

There were so many that to pick one would be impossible.  Let's turn it around and
say that my favorite experience WAS a Dead show.

...I can't say I have one favorite Dead song,since there all my favorite... But
there are a few songs that help me get through my day,, those songs are:~ Box Of Rain,
Cassidy, Cumberland Blues, Jack~a~Roe, The Music never stopped... and soooo many more...

I never got the chance to make it to one. although I regret it more everyday..

 

 

I was at one of my friends houses.. My friends parents were reall big
Dead~heads.. At that time I was just beginning my journey so,, But I remember her parents were
so upset the day they found out Jerry had passed away... They sat around all day smoking and
playing Dead songs on there guitars, singing along.. with the sadest faces I've ever seen...
Back then I may have  not known how the music of the Grateful Dead, could touch someones life
so much...
now I understand..*****

I was an assistant program coordinator at Cook College, Rutgers University. We ran programs for "youth at risk". I no longer "Toured", though I still would go to 1 stand of shows away from NY every year, not every tour. That day, I was driving the van to pick up supplies for a class. They announced Jerry's death on the radio. I had to pull over and collect myself.

Peidmont Park Memorial- Atlanta, Ga.

At least I was in a city where the Dead had a fan base. Fla.was, and still is, a No-Mans-Land for the Dead or any other roots music. Its too far down on the map for a lot of the bands that tour. Atlanta was always a big town for shows, so I got lucky to be there and that there was a place to go and reflect. I made the best of it but was walking around in a daze that day. I will say that it is very rare that the terms "real human being" and "rock star" are uttered in the same breath, but with Garcia, you had a guy who was a person first and that is very unique and special.-TB 11/26/2002.

Chinese New Year, 1991.  Got very confused by the SF Chinese orchestra; by the time the band came on stage I was very mixed up & thought their noodling & tuning-up was a song but I was so far lost I didn't recognize it.  Became convinced I was missing the whole concert.  Then...  thump, thump, thump, HELP ON THE WAY!  What a relief...

My last show was at McNichols Arena in November or December of 1994.  The last night's encore was Brokedown Palace.  Jerry stepped up to the mike and started singing the 2nd verse (he should have started with the first).  He started laughing (kind of doubled up), stepped back from the mike, then came up and did it *perfectly*.  Great three nights of shows.  And as we were walking out there were two guys still sitting talking and one of them was saying "you know when they sing 'I love you more than words can tell' I think they really mean it!"  Yep, I believe they did.

The "B-Suite Boys", Biddles, Alec, Rich, Matt, Steve and myself went down to Ithaca to see the dead (it was my birthday w/end May 7th - May 9th), saw a great band, whose name i cant remember but had a gorgeous long haired woman who sang, on the green, dropped some acid, went to the Dead show and enjoyed one of the best musical experiences of my life...nuff said
