I saw Bob Dylan...

15. Most of my stories are show camping based and only of interest to me.

If you include performances by Jerry's, Bobby's, Phil's bands, and Furthur and count each show (some Oakland New Year's runs were five shows), I've been to around 300 so it is hard for me to separate memories. I'll let the thought sit and maybe remember something interesting instead of just different.

The CalExpo shows were always during really hot weather and they had open showers in the camp for us. Being Dead Heads, most of us, fat or thin, young or old, got naked for the showers. The complex is controlled by the California Exposition and State Fair Police who do it there on horseback. They perhaps enjoyed the public nudity because when someone complained, they said there was no problem and they were watching to make sure no grab ass.

One year at the Eel River (one of my favorite places, why my avatar is a poster) KOA campground, some dude was too many beers in and hitting on his lady. He was loud, we all saw and 20-30 Heads almost simultaneously circled the couple and my hubby and his friend led the dude away to calm and coffee him. It was a cosmic moment.

Once at Irvine Meadows I was unknowingly dosed but it wasn't until Drums that I figured out the steps were not flattening in reality so I did not need to hold onto my aisle seat with both hands to keep from sliding into the orchestra pit. My concert behavior may need refining.

More some time...
