[denmansherry]

Man...some memories....I have done this drive/walk into Oakland Coliseum many times! I was there!

[longmeadowquilter]

this is so cool, that blue chevy nova that pulls out from the curb is my husband's car!

At this show, My boyfriend talked me into trying to wait and crash the gate, sure enough someone opened the door and there was such a rush that the push part of the door broke off and landed right in my abdomen with 200 eager deadheads behind me pushing like hell, when I got in I actually sat down for the first few songs. I still had a blast and the bruise was probably bigger than the size of a basketball...

@64delftlover Very uncool that you felt the need to "crash" the gate. Scenes like this are what ended the grateful dead.

@cowgirl40

Pleeeez, it was a bazillion years ago when I was 18 years old. My youngest kid just started college this year to give you an idea of the time frame....

[nofukenway]

I missed this one cause I was in rehab...I made up for it though..the preceeding 5 years...I lived like a real "ROCK STAR" thanks Jerry and Friends

[nominaltimes]

I was there. Bill Graham put a volleyball court on the floor, and the ball bounced right into my lap as I watched the match before the show. Thank You Jerry!!!!

[dusty0732]

never got the whole dead thing.touch of gray was a great cd though,i listen to it all the time.

[icecoldhubbas]

dusty0732----I don't see whats wrong with this comment.I'm a hardcore Deadhead but some people aren't. This comment is not a knock on The Dead so I don't see why all the downvotes.

[badtpyist]

Ha - the usher guy is Willie. Famous for "smoke 'em if ya got em."

[TULLYCAST3]

WILLIE!

What a guy!

[badtpyist]

Oh man. I was there too. I miss Jerry so much around the end of the year. A week at the Warfield, 4 days with the boys at the Colliseum...

Thanks for posting.

[smple009]

I was there, Brings back memories. No parking lot scene? post another if you got it. What is that black guys name again? the usher guy, he was a great guy and funny too.

[LazyLightning66]

I too was there. Great days. the GREATEST days. I would trade anything to go back. The usher guy was named Willie. He was awesome. He actually enabled me to get a ticket for 12/31 in 91. LONG story for another time, but that guy was the goods. Nice vid Ethan

[damnright4]

Yeah I think He was the usher in the GD movie too ........ Telling everyone to "march right in and have a good time"
