Wednesday, October 27, 1971

My classmate, with whom I attended this concert in 1971 just sent this to me. Wow! I was a first semester law student and took off to join the Dead circus ignoring the fact I had class the next day. Wouldn't you know it, the prof called on me. But it was ever so worth. I met Jerry outside the stadium as he was unable to open the door. I asked if I could take his picture, and he said Ok so long as I was not from the Enquirer. A high point of my life!!! Great to revisit the Dead at their finest.

Becoming Dead ground zero for me - been going in the deep end during these Covid times. Was drawn to the period by a hometown show I got hooked on, Northrup, Keith's first, bunches of new material. I love that you can still hear a Dark Star once in a while, but get all these other songs. Eastown 2nd night has become another favorite, and really enjoy the primo audio of Dave's 3 and 22. Going back the other way yields more treasure, more Pig Pen. 71 all the way!
