The wife and I stumbled upon a Dead show while traveling in the states early 90's in our VW westy bus. I still remember pulling into the campground and the lady saying in a southern drawl "Ya all here fur the Dead".
I was like WTF is the Dead?
The deadheads loved our westy, even though it looked out of place because it was restored near perfect. They got talking to us and had extra tickets so we went.
The crowd tailgate party/bazaar before the show was way better than the show itself.
Same venue had a huge Honda Goldwing convention going on the same time, those people were just freaking about all the damn dirty hippies walking around their bikes.
The band was quite old and static, not what I'd call amazing.
In fact it was watching those loons in the crowd that was awesome
