@bourgwick Spring 85 night 2 for me. This show flies under the radar, but for me this is one of the best shows that I attended. Great Stranger/Cold Rain. The Scarlet/Bucket was so fun and surprising. Phil dropped a perfectly timed bomb at the climax of a great Terrapin. Great Spanish Jam out of Space. Nice Truckin/Smokestack/Black Peter. And while I probably didn't appreciate it as much as I should have at the time, what I would I give to hear Garcia sing Baby Blue one more time.

50 years ago today, bill graham’s all-star SNACK benefit at #SanFrancisco’s kezar stadium in golden gate park. the #GratefulDead as “jerry garcia & friends” open the day, debuting music from the in-progress album on a live broadcast, with guests mickey hart, ned lagin, & merl saunders, ned’s last appearance with the band. david crosby’s partner gives birth to their son django & croz bowz out.

@bourgwick Was there! This tour was the peak for me. I purchased the tour book and ended up attending ten of the fourteen shows, while managing not to miss too many classes at college. Had some serendipitous luck from the NCAA hoops tourney. All of the shows were general admission except for Providence, and I waited out each show to make the run to the barrier, usually right in front of Weir.

40 years ago tonight, the #GratefulDead open their east coast spring tour, the 1st of 2 shows at the hampton coliseum mothership in #virginia. trouble ahead, jerry in red, etc., & a grand deadiversary to @mrcompletely. spring ’85, show #5.
