You know what those shows can do to you PC, my son's ready to go to Chicago now.
His first Dead show and he comes home with a story like that (but all first Dead show are like that, usually a good story comes with them)! If this was 25 years ago he'd be touring with them for the summer, no doubt about that.

my first and only dead show, was one of the very last before Jerry died in the mid/late 90's. Vegas. Yes, it was incredible and I wasn't even tripping!


It started misting, thundering and lightening. The band completely dropped the planned set to improvise and riff with mother nature for the better part of an hour. kinda blew my mind, a quite pleasant surprise from the ultimate jam band! man i was glad my roommate dragged me to the show.. my expectations were massively surpassed

the rainbow WAS in fact real.

I saw the last show they did in vegas. I was tripping on a 10strip though. the part of the riff with the storm rings a huge bell. That was a long while ago. Me and some other hippies came down from southern Utah to catch it. Glad we did.

Now a days no one would spot me as a hippy... LOL im incognito.

I have a couple of good ones....
First off the show was amazing, great energy there. 80,000 dead heads partying before and during the show was off the hook. I had nice seats for the show, but I have a bum knee, and sitting in one of those seats would have been torture for me, so I inquired about handicap seats. Long story short I ended up with those handicap seats with a perfect view. In our journey to get the handicap seats we were ushered down by the usher to the floor, when there they place floor wrist bands on our wrist, guess we needed them for those handicap seats. So after we get our seats we proceed to the floor for a bit, my son tells me he wants to see how close he can get to the stage. I tell him to go for it.
Before the show we parked across the street at a restaurant called Davids, park there and get a free buffet. Only 1 buffet per parking pass, so I gave it to my son, they placed a yellow wrist band on him to show he paid for his buffet. Well in his journey to get "as close as possible" to the stage he learned that the people in the "pit" area had yellow wrist bands on too. He flashed this yellow wrist band and was let into the pit area, just a few feet away from the stage. So he says he's dancing having a great time and there's this tall dude just in front of him dancing and the tall dude bumps into my son, he turns around to apologize and it's Bill Walton. He said Bill gave him a great big hug, said sorry. He said Bill was cool as fuck, he talked to him a bit, he told Bill that this was his first show, Bill told him that he was lucky to be here for this iconic show, and was glad he was there, and gave him another hug.
What a great story for my son, he was all fired up after the show with his story. He has pictures of Bill, I'll upload when he gets up. My son uses no drugs at all, He's a three sport athlete at his school and they drug test, so he don't burn. His favorite sport is Basketball, so it was a big thrill to meet and enjoy the show with Bill Walton.

The second half of the show I made my way to the floor to absorb that energy. During the drum solo I was making my way off the floor to take a piss and I run into "The Boss and PC" on the floor (80,000 people and I run into these guys). So I came back and hung with the "crew" the last set.
There's a couple of stories for you Jj, I'm sure the crew will have more than a few.
