Oh, I see, Ohio.

Judit, Blossom is in Ohio (Cuyahoga Falls).

OK, you got it.

Judit - Cuyahoga Falls Ohio- just south of Cleveland

Jinx x two or three - thanks

It was still daylight when they opened with the Day Tripper and Jerry smoked the whole show, may also be the one with Bobby jumping on the piano and speakers during the Sugar Mag. One of my favorite nights with my pals and the good ol grateful dead. Took some first timers and consumed mass shrooms, I remember one of them in almost a trance state on the way out just repeating, Joe Kidd, we're in the valley of the grateful dead over and over

I pretty much wore out the '85 second set tape I had from Blossom - Jerry is on fire throughout the whole thing!

^^^could you say he was blossoming?

The Rectum!  Many memories too numerous and fuzzy to recount in detail. I almost cried when they tore the old girl down. Took my boy to his first concert there 8 years ago, Green Day, and it was a blast I have to say.

Good times. Remember the post show blizzard of 79?

The most fun that I had at blossom music center was at a blugrass festival. Vassar's band was closing the show and a huge portion of the crowd (me n girlfriend included) got up on stage and were dancing all around Vassar and his band. Also had big fun at some Jimmy Buffett shows this was pre Parrot Head drunk fests
