Grateful Dead Concert Last Night

grateful-deadWell, it’s 8 a.m. and I should be still asleep. Too bad my internal clock doesn’t know that I got in 6 hours ago! What a night! My first Dead concert! The DCU Center in Worcester was like a time machine set to the 70’s.  We were a stone’s throw from the stage. People of all ages- baby boomers, little kids and everything in between.  A sea of tie dyed shirts.  Huge balloons bounced over the heads of the crowd. A constantly changing halo of lights above us. And the MUSIC! I’ve always loved Grateful Dead stuff, but I never had the opportunity to see them live. What an experience. No one sat for more than a minute during the 3 1/2 concert (45 minute break) dancing to familiar songs . The drum solos, the guitars, the whole night was magic! A big Thank You to my friend, Skip, for the invite!         —Sharon

  1. I saw the Grateful Dead in Worcester in 1988.
    Seems like it was yesterday.
    I wonder if as many people were doing acid this year!!
    I saw more people slumped over in their seats than could stand.
    Never did understand why someone would want to be so out of it at a concert.
