I attended the two shows they were cosmic as were we. Great Memories! Jerry Lives.......Three sets and a encore...the good old days....

The March will be the 50th anniversary of these two great shows. I remember the hype in the local OD newspaper a week before " the dope smoking hippies are coming , prepare for trouble!" I remember the buses parked nearby and the clowns dancing in the street dancing in front of the Aud which is in front of the police station lol. The asshole Utica police arrested 42 if I remember correctly. Central NY has always been a favorite venue for the dead. I believe I've seen over 35 shows in the area in 51 years. My memories are a bit jumbled by great mescaline, acid,(4 way window pane , Thai sticks,and Chiba Chiba. Love to talk with others that remember these 2 great shows. My favorite show is Lake Placid 83. It was really one for 'the faithful. NEVER STOP
