Have my ticket stubs for Weir-Wasserman 11/25/88 at The Wiltern (L.A.) along with JGB, 5/15/90 at Coach House (San Juan Capistrano), and later 8/1/96 Ratdog at Furthur Festival but I think there were more in between.

The 1st time I saw the Dead - Old Boston Garden - 1971, fall tour. Wall of Sound and NRPS opened the show at 6 PM. Dead finished at 2AM. That's when I really started paying attention to the music.
