One night at a show, I guess really without noticing it, I was singing the high parts to Sugar Magnolia/SSDD that Donna would sing. The two people directly in front of me started looking to see where it was coming from. They turned around and caught me in falsetto bliss. I expected them to tell me to cool it when they smiled and gave me a knowing nod. I guess I didnt sound too bad! |
The Lightning show in Las Vegas one year was absolutely incredible. At some points the lightning was going horizontal across the sky. Sometimes it came out of the sky and hit the ground around the stadium. The hair on my arms even stood up because of the amount of electricity in the air. I always got charged up for my Dead shows but this was over the top. The only thing better that day was the show! | |

I was on vacation in Hawaii and I went diving with a group of people. We went to a really cool dive shop called Jacks Dive Locker. When we came back Jerry was there getting ready for a dive of his own. It turns out that this was where Jerry did a lot of his diving. He was really friendly and he really loved to dive. I found out that he could stay down on one tank of air longer than most could only hope to. | Just going to every show hoping I would hear something Id never heard before was so much fun. I dont know of any other band where the anticipation of what gem you might hear was as much a part of the fun as it was with the Dead. I didnt get everything I wanted to hear, but I did get a lot of them. Im thankful for every show Ive ever seen. | |

I thought I had seen the Dead do it all until I saw Phil play bass in a Barney costume. When he came out on stage it almost seemed natural to have a huge purple dinosaur on stage with the boys. He caused quite a stir with that one. I think some people were concerned that they were the only one seeing a purple dinosaur on stage. I thought it was funny. | I used to love to go to Dead shows by myself. I could float around and do what I wanted, when I wanted, without having to check with anyone. I would always meet the best people and hang out with them for a while and then move on. I met a lot of people that way. A Dead show was one of the best places to be by yourself and never really be alone. | |

I was at Soldier Field, the sky was clear, the stars were out and the band sounded better than ever. I was with the person I love the most in this world and we danced together all night long. There was no place else I would rather have been at that moment. It was heaven on Earth. | I was at a Red Rocks show and it had been raining buckets all day long. I didnt think they would be able to play in that kind of weather but they came out anyway. Amazing as it seems, as soon as the Band hit the stage it stopped raining. There was a beautiful sunset directly behind the stage, framed by a perfect rainbow. Ive never seen anything like it. | |

I was dancing my shoes off at a show one night so hard that I literally had to take them off. I had never been barefoot at a show before. I had the best time. Man, were my feet dirty. Out in the lot that night I met up with some friends and they asked me where my shoes were. In my barefoot bliss, I left them inside, never to be seen again. So now I can say that I danced so hard at a Dead Show that I REALLY lost my shoes. | My favorite thing about being on tour was that even someone you had never met before would rather say hi, flash you a great big smile or even give you a hug than just walk past you staring at their shoes. I wish it was always like that. | |
