The show that brought me back
Forums:
I started going to shows in 79 and by 93 I was pretty much done. I think I saw a show in 94 but can't remember anything about it. By 2008 I was fully immersed in the electronic music scene, and hadn't really listened to the dead in years. There were a few dead heads scattered in the electronica scene and thankfully one of them scored me a ticket to this show. This is the show that made me realize that there was still a lot more fun to be had with this music.

My last GD show was at Soldier Field in 1994. I saw P&F in Ventura on June 30, 2000 and then spent a good part of 2001 and 2002 chasing the Q around out west...

Seen Grateful Dead @
Seen Grateful Dead @ Shoreline 1994 even though I wasn't a huge fan back then more grunge and hard rock. Wasn't a true deadhead until hearing Franklin's Tower in 1998. Got on the bus for good in 1998.
2002 was a great time for this deadhead. Alpine Valley Reunion, Bonnaroo Phil & Friends w/ Bobby & Gathering of the Vibes in Mariaville, NY with PLQ...great if not legendary summer!

I started listening to tapes
I started listening to tapes as a teenager and kept listening to the same 40-50 until I got a job at my wife's work(2007). My supervisor listened to commercial radio so I got an MP3 player and started listening to the Brent years on some good headphones. I listened to 3 shows a day. Then they got some new guy and my listening frenzy waned.

Stopped in '92 and chose Chicago Blues in small clubs for awhile...
In the Bay Area, I only went to friends' gigs and free music fests (Berkeley/Oakland Farmers Markets, Lake Merritt "Festival at the Lake" etc)
Came back on Mother's Day 2009.
Missed a lot...but have also had a ton of Dead fun before and after those dates, respectively.

I didn't mind missing GD
I didn't mind missing GD shows in 83/85. We had a couple of young kids and there was one set of shows in 83 (was out of town) and none in 85 within 500 miles. Jerry was a mess and I'm not really a big Brent era fan, except for 89/90.
Of course, in retrospect, I do mind.
Calculated recently that I could have seen twice as many GD shows over the years if I had gone to all the ones within the areas I was in at the time.

It's all relative Surfdead.
It's all relative Surfdead. If you were there or not, the tapes reveal more than anything I remember.
But I saw Jerry shred some fine tunes in 83/85. Some of his finest. His life might have been a mess but his fingers thought otherwise.
