And I had you down for BMW - Bob Marley and the Wailers.Who is the greatest band? I’m in the “Who” crowd.
Fan1, check out Paul on Carpool Karaoke with James Corden. Extended version. Coolest dude around. Wish he and Ringo would hook up occasionally.
Curious is any of our older posters were in attendance at the Cherry Blossom Festival of 74?

The Dead concert I went to was in 1984, I was a sophomore. I went with a group of friends from UR. I drove separately and I wore docksiders, with no socks, and a button down shirt and khakis. I was stone cold sober the entire time and I must say it was cultural. I had a lot of fun watching people. I saw one of my friends come up to me during the concert, his eyes were rolling so much, I could see the whites of his eyes. His head was swaying one way and his body the other. He told me some girl he didn’t know had given a few squares of acid, he took one and offered the other to me, which I declined. I had never seen acid before. The air was full of Marijuana smoke. I heard the song Spoonful. Jerry Garcia sounded rough. We laughed about it in the dining hall on the following Monday. It was a life event.Anyone in here around for when the Grateful Dead got banned from the Richmond Colosseum in 1985? Before my time, but love to hear the stories of those there.
I read some stories from the rtd. Dead played two nights. Aubrey Davis the CA was at the doors both nights as arrests were made. Reading the articles and the names of the city officials reminded me how blatantly red neck certain strata of Richmond hierarchy was during that time.Anyone in here around for when the Grateful Dead got banned from the Richmond Colosseum in 1985?

The wife of the accountant of one of my first clients after I graduated, wrote the national newsletter for the dead in the late 80s.I went as a preppy. The parking lot outside before the concert in 84 was just as wild as the concert inside. It was a drug infused pregame event. The smell of Marijuana was everywhere. The Dead had a following, people traveled around the country to go to their concerts. It was a Bohemian, nomadic lifestyle for some of their fans. Some of the fans were Uber rich kids, others were hangers-on. It was the 14th concert for my UR friend who organized our trip. I know a girl who went to upwards of 50.
I am surprised the cops didn't make arrests. They could have disrupted the drug trade in a third of the country.
I told my kids I went, they thought I was cool. I also told them who I went with, they were shocked
