44 years ago - I saw Jerry Garcia & John Kahn play a 3am acoustic set at the Palladium in NYC for a Hells Angels benefit to raise funds for 9 year old Erik Alexander's medical expenses
Erik was the 9 year old son of Sandy Alexander the President of the Hells Angels NY. Erik fell down 9 stories and had just come out of a 20 day coma so Jerry and friends were playing a benefit for the kid. The show was scheduled on Friday night at 11:59 pm (1 minute before midnight). Rather than seeing the usual ticket takers/ ushers, everyone at the doors was a Hells Angel. They had rented the Palladium off hours for the benefit and proceeds were going to medical expenses for the kid. The Hells Angels were selling these cool shirts for the benefit so of course I bought one! Rogue, Moonbeam, Ronnie Spector, and Bo Diddley played first and then Jerry and John Kahn finally came out and did a short acoustic set that probably did not start until around 3 am, their set was followed by Robert Gordon. It was a wild night!

35 years ago - on 6/16/91 Spike Lee and his crew were filming a Levi's commercial at the Grateful Dead show at Giants Stadium. As I saw Spike walk by, I asked him if he would sign my ticket stub!

Rose lot shirt (Airbrush, stencil, & lace) that I bought on tour in 1982! - I loved this technique, often folks would do the airbrushing right in the lot which was always a visual treat❤️

A fun 1973 program from the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY - not for a Grateful Dead show but for a New Riders show (no Jerry) - an interesting Dead article, a Sam Ash advertisement with Jerry, an explanation about how the program is smokable, and the best headphone ad ever!!!🙃
