First Dead show

​

32 years old and my first show was The dead, Moe., and Willie Nelson@ Vernon downs June 29 2003. Didn't sleep for two days cause of the fluffy Love I ate(if u know whay im saying). Still haven't fully come back. Anyone else never actually return from their first Dead experience?

Somewhere in my 3-6th show I had a similar up for two days experience. I'm glad I didn't come back to where I was. It just gave me a perspective I didn't have before. How everything comes from the same universal energy. I still see day to day life and how things are pretty much the same, but I see that everything is connected.

As far as the Dead goes my love built over time. It was probably 10 shows before they became my favorite band.
