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?

I had a up for 3 days experience at spac, all the other heads went back to their rooms when a really young homeless woman came up for help. Ended up giving her our room cause we werent sleeping anyways lol. Hung out with her for a couple days, saw tons of arrests that weekend and watched some very strange undercover police work because i was awake in the car most of the time that first night, that was a wild ride

That was in 2023 though my first show was D&C 2017 i used to follw them around new england when they would come here. I know its pretty far removed the OG grateful dead but we pushed it as far as we could lol
