I've been a Deadhead since the mid 1960s when I took a vacation trip from L A to SF to visit a friend from high school. We went to a bar in The Haight I think,somewhere. They were giving everyone who came in to the bar a chit for a "special drink with the band ". It was, of course, LSD. I THINK I PAID 50 cents for the chit and 50 cents cover charge. I was about 22 and this was my first LSD experience.
The music was amazing. I still dream about that experience

Flash forward to 1995 and 100 or more Dead concerts later. I was married to a great drummer with a local PDXrock band, I was in my 50s and still a Deadhead. I have the lightning skull tattooed on my leg.

This was my last Dead concert though I've gone to others with Phil and others it isn't the same.

My husband, who bore a great resemblance to Jerry, passed away 13 years ago. I hope he's in a hell of a band playing withJerry, Jimi, Morrison and Janis. It was the music we both loved.

Here I am, now 75 and living on Social Security. But when someone asks me to tell them about myself, being a Deadhead for over 60 years is part of the personal monologue.

this was my last dead show,dosed for the first time in yrs, got way too high,lol had fun though,chuck berry was awesome was really hoping he'd come do a song with the boys, the next day went up to wash to see the beastie boys so missed the 2nd show.

this is great recording of a great show,chuck berry opened, high quality sound after these 2 shows they went on to seattle stadium for 2 shows.at the rest area outside of portland an older lady asked if all the dead heads gathered there were a religous group? i said that we were.
