They're relatively low considering what some bands charge. Of course, I still have stubs from Dead shows in the early 80s when shows were under $10. I spent less for entire tours ( and I mean.....entire tours ) than a pair of tix costs now.

Entire tours?? Are you implying that you smoked...ahem marijuana cigarettes? Did you partake in tabs of LSD? or maybe even psycadellic mushrooms???

I would have if the internet was around then.

We did watch a lot of sports. Saw the BC from Aqueduct with about ten people in a hotel room in Richmond. Sorry to miss the BC....but the two shows in Richmond in 85 were all-timers.

Those second sets, especially the first night, were incredible.

The drive up from the Halloween show at the University of South Carolina was a hoot as well. I also saw the shows at the Fabulous Fox Theater in Atlanta the previous nights. Now that's a great venue.

You would have liked going on tour. Lake Placid on a beautiful Fall day.....same with Portland and Augusta, Maine. Those were good times.

Then there were places like Birmingham, Alabama, where some girl called me a " f'n yuppie " because I wouldn't give her a dollar for " a shot of Jaeger. "

The Internet has been around for about 40 years or so, in various forms.

If Sal had been in Augusta, I assure you he'd have been at the OTB hunting whales.

If he had been at those Augusta shows he probably would have been in utero.

I think he was four by then. I'm pretty sure the only thing he knew how to read until high school was a form.

He had(has) that whole savant thing going you know.

dirty hippys

The Dead were okay...saw them first at the Fillmore East in '68 or '69. They weren't very good. Then in Denver with Flatt and Scruggs, in '72. They were much better. The final time was at the English Town NJ racetrack in '78(?) with Marshall Tucker. 125,000 whacked out people in the mud. 2 mile walk to the venue. Nothing at the concession stands but warm C & C cola. Nasty day.

My Dead days probably died about the time Andy's started.
