15 years ago today: The Last Grateful Dead show....
Edited on Fri Jul-09-10 07:23 PM by Bennyboy
Soldier Field,Chicago. Last notes Jerry played in public. the tour from Hell as it became known. A balcony collapsed at a campground (a friend of mine lost everything he owned in the lawsuits). One of the only two song encores of the year, It is like Jerry still had something to say....

Not only did anything that could go wrong did go wrong,for the first and only time My Beloved VW Hitopper tossed an engine all over I-80...Looked like a Dale Earnhardt Car on a bad day.

Now I'm gonna fire up the sound system and cry a bit.
