Beautiful pictures of a beautiful venue too !

Your tale reminds me of the time I took my ma to a Jerry Garcia show,
she not only loved it, but enjoyed some of the numbers she knew from the 50’s and/or 60’s

As for Dead shows…
( sharing as a 100+ veteran, whose first show was included Kieth and Donna )
There’s an old “insider” saying - and bumper sticker…

“There is NOTHING like a Grateful Dead concert”

You likely now have a glimmer of what that means 😎

Oh, and if you can find it, there’s a wonderful movie to see, Festival Express

Peace, sister
