My first Dead concert, and my memories are quite vivid. Hundreds of fans rushed the stage when Pigpen began "Hard to Handle;" by the end of the show, people were dancing on the field, sitting on the edge of the stage, and just hanging around. My brother slapped my hand when I reached for Jerry's beer can.

Went with a friend who was also into the dead. They blew the place away on Sugar Magnolia. All he could say was, "So that's why everyone likes that song."

This was also my first live Dead show....and anyone who was there should remember two distinct features of the evening. The first was the electric cool aid stations set up outside the stadium and the piles of paper dixie cups stacked at the door before you walked into the stadium. The second item was half way through Dark Star (could have been the space music) Garcia stopped the band and pointed to a half moon hanging in the evening sky and said "just think...right now there are men sleeping on THAT!!" It was the second or third moon landing and the astronauts were indeed "sleeping"on the moon. The crowd emptied onto the empty grass field which the police had tried all night to keep free of Dead heads.....a loosing proposition by that point. Finding my friends and getting everybody home safely to Longmeadow took all night....but what a night it was!!!!
