I was at the show when they played it for the first time.....Cap Center in September of 1982.

thats pretty neat, i was 19 y/o then and never really listened to much Dead until i was 23. the radio station i listened to at work back then, played ALOT of Dead and Pink Floyd. i actually got hooked more on Floyd.

Andy.....
 

Cap Center? You talkin bout the Capitol Center in MD? Largo, or Landover MD?

Yeah....in Maryland where the Capitols and Bullets used to play.

Exactly.....
 

I'm from Virginia, I saw many events in that building. It was a shame to see it go.

I saw the Dead there many times....including the show in 1990 when they brought back Black Throated Wind after a 16 year hiatus.

Wow...
 

What a show that must have been. I went to alot of shows at the Cap Center in the 80's, AC/DC, KISS, OZZY, shows like that. As far as classic bands, was at RFK Stadium for the Who reunion tour, that was a great show!

I love the mellowness of it. Classic Dead.

I had the radio on when I was driving today and a song by Crosby, Stills, and Nash, "Teach Your Children" starts playing. Then the disc jockey said that the steel guitar on it was played by Jerry Garcia. I don't know if that's a fact but it seemed interesting. And that steel guitar makes that song.

My fave...Truckin'.

They should have originated Ride Captain Ride....but they didn't.



I woud have voted for that one.

What row?

I was right down front that night.

I always liked The Other One>Morning Dew

P.S. My quote is from a dead tune too

Same here....somewhere in the first 5 rows.

I saw him at Giants stadium once way up in the stands. He was very friendly to everyone, and of course had that big smile! :D I think NBA players are freaks.
