"Ain't nothin' for the head like the good ol' Grateful Dead!"

I used to see them all the time at the old Fillmore Auditorium, often with the Jefferson Airplane.
I would stand close to the stage & watch Pigpen play the piano.
After you climbed the stairs to get to the main door, Bill Graham would be standing inside greeting everyone, and he always recognized me & my buddies because we came every week,
(The Fillmore used to be open on Thursday nights, as well as Friday & Saturday)

When I heard that their first album was coming out 2 weeks early in LA, a friend & I drove down there from SF to buy it.

Did Robert Hunter write those lyrics?
