36CBC20D-8DB0-4991-8D85-A242DBC1691B.jpeg5/10 & 5/14 on this tour. Both good shows. 

My first show. Rupp Arena in Lexington KY. Rupp was a brand new place that held well over 20,000 people. There were about 3000 people at the show so the place looked pretty much empty to me. The floor was full and small crowd scattered in lower bowl and the rest of the place is completely empty. I was a Junior in High School in Louisville and told my pal and his older sister who took us. "These guys aren't very popular around here." I became a Deadhead that night. 

i hadn't turned 1 yet.
