I saw the Dead twice - roughly around the time of Terrapin Station. The
first time I thought they were a bit off and rambling but not terrible. I
guessed I'd seen them on one of their off nights. The second show was around
3 months later. I quickly realized that the first show I saw must have been
one of their best ever - they were truly wretched and it sounded like they
were playing totally seperate tunes at the same time.
Another story - I was visiting a friend in Boston around 1989. We went to
the local Tower Records and I saw all these people in sleeping bags laying
in the snow on the sidewalk. I told my friend that it was terrible to see so
many homeless people. She replied that they were just waiting for Dead
tickets to go on sale in another week.
Deadheads - I salute you!
But I still don't like the band.
