My very first Grateful Dead show. 20th bday. For some reason they really like playing on that date I drove through a blizzard to get there and it was so worth it

[@TheLuckyLosersSF]

That was my second show. High on acid for sure...felt like the whole crowd was heavily dosed. I think there were extra people that managed to break into that show...it felt a bit over-crowded. I was rendered loopy and hooked on the Dead by the end of Terrapin!

[@michaelkeane740]

I saw 6 shows on this date👍🏻

[@LonePigsyAndCub]

Thank you! I LOVE '85 shows :)

[@tomusnature]

Lucky to have caught the Summer Tour from Alpine to Pittsburgh! ⚡🌹⚡

[@LonePigsyAndCub]

@@tomusnature Lucky indeed! I saw them at SPAC that year and it changed my life forever!

[@tomusnature]

@@LonePigsyAndCub My brother Steve and I loved SPAC! I returned in 1988!!!

Thank you!

[@aaronhudlow5649]

Minglewood! Brent slamming keys and jumping off his bench. Classic!

[@josiewails9473]

That lazy lightning teaser at about 31:00 was trippy. I didn't see My Brother Esau coming out of that at all. And that's why we love the Good Ol' Grateful Dead. Ya just never know.

[@aaronhudlow5649]

Jerry launched a Lazy Lightning that never got off the ground.

[@thirdeyeboundlessfahydaryl2641]

Thank you Kevin was a high time indeed.. my wife’s first show.. fried she said Jerry looks like a snowman hahah I died laughing.. pretty quality and again thank you.. Long May You Run !!!

[@threejean2011]

We found some great shroomz in the parking lot. The lights during Terrapin were like green lightning! (Sigh) I still miss him...

[@jlwaddey9579]

'Phil loves New York!"

[@veek.6463]

Phil should learn how to play supplication

[@shawnomalley7398]

That Cold Rain Rips

[@BugsBunnysBrother]

During the last 4 minutes of Superstitious, Mickey tosses drum sticks at Matt Kelly. I know that Billy was no fan of Kelly but the was Mickey sends them flying is just too funny. This was a great trio of shows. I remember the year before Nassau was the place they closed the spring tour….Spring 84 was the first Tour Booklet tour. 13 Shows for $172.50. God that’s the cost of one show today but anyway I love this band. Also remember this was a GA event with Beer for sale. Loved it then, still love it today!

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

I usually made all the trips if in Newengland states ? Like NY ,Boston ,RI , Connecticut , plus other such places that weren’t to far away for us to get their ! I always had someone with me ! ❤️🐇🐰🌹🎼🎹☮️🥀👽🪐🛸💙😍😘🥰to all Heads out there !

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

Bobby should know that women r smarter he’s had enough of them + loved all of them in his special way , a real gentleman ! 😍😘

[@joelimongelli792]

Which shows were the spring dance off, no floor seats just a huge pit of dancers!

[@fatamorgana4318]

I think that was way back in '73. I was 3.

[@fatamorgana4318]

A Swell Dance Concert at the 18,000 seat Nassau Coliseum was sandwiched between the Dead's successful tour of Europe in early 1972 and their release of Wake of the Flood in November, 1973. Missing from the lineup was original keyboardist Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, who had been absent from the band since the Continental tour. Pigpen, who was only 27 when he died on March 8 from liver disease brought on by hard living, was replaced by Keith Godchaux and wife Donna on keyboard and vocals, respectively.

[@songsupplyco]

Joe - there were no floor seats at this show. My friends and I spent the 1st set on the floor in the middle, maybe about 75 feet from the stage, then retreated to some upper level seats on Phil's side for the 2nd set where we enjoyed the almost perfect Terrapin.

[@marcbernicker206]

20 years so far

[@TheGravygun]

I slept on a banana peel and I got back up

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

Was Jerry born in a bear pen or cave because he sure looks like a bear ! 💥🌟⭐️🌪️🔥✨⚡️🌈☄️☀️💫plus hugs like one too!!

[@wrongwayranger4736]

What's the story behind Hart throwing the sticks? I heard something about him suing Bill over a fight.

[@damnright4]

I was at this show and watched Mickey bean him in the head, hard! at the time I didnt know what the hell Mickey was doing but later found out the reason... The harmonica player is Matt Kelly who use to play with Bob Weir and Kingfish..Still not sure but from what I was able to gather Matt and one or both of the drummers had an altercation previously some time before, any way one of the drummers kicked Matt in the balls. Matt went to the Doctors and they told him his semen count was affected from the kick and Matt filed a lawsuit..that was 32 years ago and that was the rumor going around at the time....If im wrong, please some one shed some accurate light on it...

[@damnright4]

Did some research...Here it is...Apparently Mickey was sticking up for Billy Kreutzmann, who had gotten into a fight with Matt a month previous to this show while they were both playing a Kingfish show in Denver. Billy apparently kicked Matt in the nuts, rendering him impotent, for which Matt sued Billy.

[@veek.6463]

Yeah dude Bill kicked him so hard in the balls he couldn't have kids. That's real

[@stevecanny7086]

Not cool!

[@spookedhorse]

Bobby himself told me Mickey did that when he thought the guest did a great job and did it as a joke.

[@infamouschamp67]

This hippie girl got up on stage during Women R Smarter and boogied beat Jerry for a few seconds

[@wrongwayranger4736]

This the show that Hart throws his sticks at the harmonica player?

[@wolfman92097]

14:50

[@chrisgrabowski2678]

There was bad blood between MK & Bill Kreutzmann. Mickey acted like an asshole and took upon himself to interfere when it was none of his business.

[@michaelhess3259]

I have been a fan for 45 years Mickey Hart has always been a weirdo and a jerk I believe that by weird was just covering for him

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

I wish I could get ahold of Bobby but there r to many of him + I don’t want his views form admires just his friend + had it once but then got shut down for 3 months but here I am back on for how long , I don’t know ? It’s awful hard to get to ur friends when it’s been so long but I tried !? ❤️🐰🐇🎼🎹☮️🥀👽🪐🛸🌹💙💜💚🤎🤍🖤 love to u !
