One of my top five shows, just a barn burner from start to finish that is still etched in my brain.

This was taken from almost exactly where I was sitting. The seats behind the stage at Winterland were fantastic, right over the band

40 years ago, a friend said to me, "No more excuses. Everybody knows you already are a Dead Head, so you had better start going to their shows. You ARE going with me to Winterland tonight!"
So I went and saw the Grateful Dead play live for the first time, received some early instruction in Dead Head ritual, and my life has been informed by that experience... forever afterwards... and to this very day.

Old timers jog my memory as
Old timers jog my memory as to how Winterland was laid out. I recall the great seats back of and above the stage where Thom was sitting. Of course, the big balcony in the back. Were there a few rows of seats in the back at floor level?
There was a wider hall downstairs and the snack bar was down there. Upstairs had narrow halls behind the balcony. The tee shirt stand was up there and off to the side was the bar. Please correct me if I'm wrong and add details as you remember.

the stage was on the north
the stage was on the north side of the building up until late 72.
My first GD show there (10-9-72) - it was on the side- by December BG moved the stage to the west end and turned the place into a true rock palace.
The behind the stage spot pictured above was usually just a stand in the aisle and watch spot - great view- but very few sat there.
Two large fire escape stairways that went from the hallways in the back of the balcony directly down to the street at the front of the hall- we almost tossed a young asshole security guard down those stairs who was in the midst of tossing me from a Frank Zappa show- we thought better of it - I got the boot. What a jerk.

Had to do a three hour drive yesterday and took this long for the ride, great show with a smoking Lazy Lightning to close the first set and a blazing post drums.
