thats pretty neat, i was 19 y/o then and never really listened to much Dead until i was 23. the radio station i listened to at work back then, played ALOT of Dead and Pink Floyd. i actually got hooked more on Floyd.

Yeah....in Maryland where the Capitols and Bullets used to play.

I'm from Virginia, I saw many events in that building. It was a shame to see it go.

I saw the Dead there many times....including the show in 1990 when they brought back Black Throated Wind after a 16 year hiatus.

What a show that must have been. I went to alot of shows at the Cap Center in the 80's, AC/DC, KISS, OZZY, shows like that. As far as classic bands, was at RFK Stadium for the Who reunion tour, that was a great show!

I had the radio on when I was driving today and a song by Crosby, Stills, and Nash, "Teach Your Children" starts playing. Then the disc jockey said that the steel guitar on it was played by Jerry Garcia. I don't know if that's a fact but it seemed interesting. And that steel guitar makes that song.

My fave...Truckin'.

They should have originated Ride Captain Ride....but they didn't.

I saw him at Giants stadium once way up in the stands. He was very friendly to everyone, and of course had that big smile! I think NBA players are freaks.
