I absolutely 100% remember them because I had 400 that came from Long Island. They were the coolest thing I've ever seen. It was like black plastic with gold fleck. Totally tripped out man. Insane...what a deja vu.

I never attended any of the acid test shows back in the 60's ~ but I been to some 100 + shows from 84-till their earthquake benefit show in 89' was the best ever!
Gallon jugs of acid were passed around and thousands of hits were thrown into the crowds during those acid test shows at the beach ,.
~ for everyone to dose ~,.

Brent Midland was a personal friend of mine met from my good friend who worked security for Bill Graham,.

Hey all my chronologically challenged IC'rs! (i.e. old farts) i;ve got a question for ya. My dad ran away 2 theTenderloin in S.F. @ 14. He said he used to post all those concert posters for Bill Graham & got in to alot of concerts that way. I've heard many a great story about Jimi, Janis, Quicksilver Msngr Serv, Warren Zevon, et al.. My question is this.. He says @ all the old DEad concerts, they had cigar boxes w/pre-rolled jays in them. Supposed 2 b the bands own personal smoke that everyone shared. He told me the last time he smoked(cuz his thing was speed bk then), he hallucinated hard right after passing the jay. He told me everything kind of turned all cartoonish! Hard for me to believe as a long time smoker but anythings possible!! Did they really share their herbs w. the audience?? & was it that good?

I never heard them sharing the herb with the audience, but in the early days in SF, I forget the guys name, I'd have to google it, but this dude would throw these parties called the Acid Tests, and the Grateful Dead performed at these parties. Sandose was the form of LSD given at these parties along with other hallucinogens I'm sure. Probably what your dad smoked that had him tripping cartoons was DMT. The Dead was known to have a sweet tooth for DMT in those early days.

The Grate Dead is one of those bands that you either love or hate for some reason.

Me, I love 'em.

Smoking weed and listening to the Dead is like peas and carrots, peanut butter and jelly, milk and cookies, sex and chocolate...

I like peas and I like carrots but I don't like peas and carrots. The Dead is one of those hippie bands you are suppose to like. They're not in my personal top 10. I've seen them at least twice.

I saw the Dead in the early 70's, throughout the 80's and into the 90's. Not a real deadhead road warrior, just saw them when they rolled through. There were nights, especially later, when Jerry just walked out and buried his chin in his chest and mailed it in. But there were times when shit just clicked and really good sets were laid down. Buffalo,early 90's, Crosby Stills and Nash opened, that was special. For me the best was when Bruce Hornsby played the entire tour, shortly after Brent died. It was just after the Warlocks shows where they brought back Darkstar and Attics, Loose Lucy. I had very good seats for the three night run at Boston Garden. That is how good the Grateful Dead could be when they tried.

Yeah, I saw a few shows that where clunkers, but when they where "on" there was nothing else like it. I caught Crosby, Stills, and Nash open for them in Pittsburgh on that same tour. Lots of great memorys at Buckeye Lake too (~);}

 

[DEATH BY SNUSNU]

Low on my list for heady music from the day. You gotta respect their hustle and rep cause when they came to town your whole city knew it and if there wasn't abuzz the week before hand, there damn sure was the following weeks. Fuck burning man cause the Dead did that shit almost every night. Never saw one show but met plenty of well ta do players in the lot. Fun but educational more than anything.
