Hello everybody, Wow what a great time and show at the Pageant....love me some 79 stuff.... Dead Duck (Shawn/Sean)----a pleasure meeting you..... what a nice guy and a great dad too...always love to hear your write-ups on shows and you always include something on your boys too..... you the man... Rude---you might not remember but I was the guy outside that said a quick "HI" I had to run to the lot during set-break.. sorry I didn't chat more with you----you seem very nice and loved your statement.... "Hey say HI anytime I love to meet new peeps" I used your philosophy and meet Dead Duck out in the lot... so thank you

Wow what a 4 show run. 69 pig, 79 Brent, 90 post Brent and original over these 4 days. You guys are ridiculous. You went through the whole spectrum of Grateful Dead over 4 days with the only repeat I think a 69 and 90 version of MAMU which are completely different anyway. I’m in awe as always even not being in Detroit rock city. I gotta see more shows obviously

So, one week after my first Grateful Dead concert, I go back to college for my second year. My shroom mate has a friend who went to college in San Fran just so he could go to Dead shows. He calls my roommate to say Bill Graham bought the Warfield theatre so that the Dead could play there for two weeks straight. They’re playing acoustic sets, plus two electric sets to celebrate their fifteenth anniversary. With a few more phone calls over that time, we learn that every acoustic set is being closed with Ripple, and that they’re making a double acoustic and a double electric album from those shows. They asked everyone to not do too much hootin’ and hollerin’, as the shows were being recorded for the albums. We also learned that they were doing similar shows at Radio City. That got us cutting class and riding up to Radio City the Monday before Halloween. We ride into New York with his Buddy and try to scalp tickets. We get robbed by ‘scalpers’, and now we’re penniless outside of Radio City while our ride is inside the show. Pretty disappointed for about an hour when someone walks up to us wearing a ski mask and asks, ‘who wants to get snuck in?’ We tell him our hard luck story, and he says, ‘ stand right here, let me find three more people’. We end up walking right through the front doors of Radio City without a ticket. This guys neighbor was a ticket taker at the door. Once inside, we got free doses, red dragons two weeks old from Berkeley. Absolutely amazing night. Acoustic set was precious. Five and a half hour show. Life changing. That’s all, thanks for letting me share.
