Reply #44: Wow - that is taking me back. I saw the Dead there many (Picasso) moons

ago. I've seen most of the bands on that line-up and can't imagine seeing them all at once at a festival. Awe-some.

Reminds me of a time when I saw Jerry Garcia Band, Bela Fleck, Neville Bros, Tower of Power, Rhythm Tribe and many others at Lake Tahoe. Squaw Valley to be specific. They set-up a stage in the bowl on top of the mountain. You had to take a gondola to get there. However, if you hiked the several miles up the backside, they graciously greeted you with orange and water and invited you into the show. As I recall they had about 200 serious climbers a day that successfully made the ascent.

That weekend and a week at Alpine Valley are my favorite Dead experiences.

Man....I'm jealous. I need one of those "let my hair down" type trips.
