    People like you and your idiot friend were exactly what was wrong with the Dead scene. Not the scene itself, just people like you with no business being there. Year by year more of you showed up caring nothing about the music, which made for less room for real Heads. I wish it was you that got clubbed. "Oh, yeah, the show, don't remember" Bill Walton is a good judge of character. He had you figured out from ten feet away. Kudos to that guy who ditched you. He got into the show, don't you worry.

    didn't attend the show but didn't need to to know that people like fitzy77 are the reason The Dead couldn't play the great places anymore. So the gate-crashing jerk-offs behind yourself got beat up by the cops? I don't approve of police brutality but crash the gates & you get what you deserve!!!! gate crashers suck. And by the way I have met Bill Walton @ many shows & found him to be a great guy, down to earth & easy to talk to. Hey bill thanks for the autograph on my SYF hat.
