I will never forget my first dead concert during my college days at Furman. We all road tripped from Greenville to Greensboro just like a merry band of pranksters. Experience of a lifetime and quite mind altering. Made it back to class the next morning w no sleep and still altered. Nice to see you writing again Garrett. I am and will always be a music guy. I can live w out tv, internet, news but could not w out my Spotify music streaming every day.

Thank you for sharing, Jack!

I’m sure that “trip” to Greensboro was well worth it. The Dead played their best music in the late 70s and early 80s, when Jerry was healthy and all the boys had a ton of energy. I’ll always be GRATEFUL for the original deadheads like you and my mom for introducing me to the culture and the music at a young age. Long after Bob Weir and Mickey Hart are gone, my generation will make sure that the Music Never Stops.

Hope to see you soon and thank you so much for reading!
