The show was April 22, 2009. And I have my grandma to thank that i was able to go at all. It was graduation money I nearly completely forgot that paid my ticket.

I was a pretty new head then. Never heard Tennessee Jed before that day. - Told my deadhead friend "they played Tennessee Ted" lol.

My vantage point was the very back floor. I suppose it was before the show, I talked with two heads that seemed to have experience. Now that I think of it, I'd ask them a few times what songs were called. I asked them "you think they'll play darkstar?" His response was educational and very non-stifiling, he said "usually that's played at second set but who knows, anything can happen" So encouraging and nice the way he didn't shoot down the thought of a 1st set darkstar.

Second set they opened with Golden Road. And I think that may have been the song a guy grabbed my hand and we danced in circles for a bit. Two guys dancing. It was hippie energy all the way, not gay at, lol seriously.

Those are the bullet point memories I have of my first show. Thanks for reading

Anyone know, has Jeff Chimenti been up to anything?

So weird, there's like a concept album about an impending war between humans and insects at the beginning of 1982 shows. It features Steve Parish and also Bill Graham.

I find It's All Over Now, Baby Blue to be so pretty. It's my favorite encore song. What's your favorite encore song?

I think Deal is such a good first set closer. What do you like as closer?

What's their best acoustic song? Is it Bird Song? Lemme hear your opinion.

Corina reminds me of Stan Marsh as Lorde; Feelin' good on a Wednesday

It makes me happy. And ain't no one can take it away. - The memory of my first Dead show.

I find it incredible that Bobby knew what a quasar was in the early 70's
