35 years ago, my favorite Dead show (Veneta 82)
Forums:
Yes, so many stories to be told about that day, including the first Day Job and first West LA Fadeaway... one of the alltime great shows for that era!
Grateful Dead; Oregon Country Fairgrounds, Veneta Oregon (tickets sold thru the Oregon Creamery). Ken Kesey introduced the 2nd set! Duprees Diamond Rag for an encore (first time in years it had been played).
Cold mix on Bertha (no sound check), many great versions of the songs (Epic!)
