Did you go to any shows? I saw you mention you were born in 68, my dad's about your age and claims he saw several dozen shows between 87 and 95, including the Alpine Valley 89 run

Yes, I wasn't by any stretch of imagination a Dead Head, but grew up hearing them and whatnot. I worked with a legitimate DH who followed & saw them hundreds of times. He took me to two shows at MSG. 87 I think. a lot of fun. The first time (there have only been two in my life) I was ever brought home by two women. Had a serious case of whiskey dik but was just thrilled to be there.

The dream

Indeed. The glorious olfactory combination of patchouli, whiskey, weed & incense, coupled with the tactile bliss of two twenty something naked bodies writhing to the audio musical back drop of Gerry’s guitar on cassette tape.
Memorable in the finest way for sure.

He probably had a Bowie knife stuffed into one of them. I’m not joking.
He showed me a huge knife at a Rory Gallagher gig at the bar once.
And I heard he was busted with a pistol fitted while a silencer. The guy was an outlaw legend. He’s growing old gracefully now I hear.
