It was a great privilege to be there. I made a promise to someone I met there. I promised to read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. By Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The wind howled, the skies darkened. The rain began exactly as the Dead began to play.
Charlie said, it sure looks like rain. If it rains, it will be the first time ever the Dead was rained on. It poured. There were sparks on the stage. The Dead played on through. It was awesome!
The show was in an outdoor arena in Berkeley CA. It was the first time I saw the Dead live. Does anyone remember?
I do not Remember the actual date. Blue Oyster Cult opened, Charlie Daniels played then announced it would be the first time it ever rained on the stage while The Grateful Dead was playing, The Dead played as it stormed. Sometime between 1978 and 1982. It was an awesome show. I can not find record of it.
