my 1st show! went with a good buddy who was already a phan. he tried to stoke me about the band, but, being a die-hard deadhead since 3/15/73 (nassau also), i was not in the right frame of mind to "get it'. to make matters worse, i was "unburdened" of my pipe and kind on the search going in. so, unsurprisingly, i was not impressed by the incomprehensible hijinks that occured that night. i particularyl didn't appreciate the silly "dancing" that occured during meatstick. today, i wish i could relive that night, if only for the appearance of tom, and the only version of my other fave bands anthem, won't get fooled. if only we could time-travel! i love the band now, of course, and will travel for a show with pleasure!!
p.s. now revel in the meatstick!
