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.

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

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.

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!
