This was my first show. I was 19 years old, a freshman @ the University of Wyoming, Laramie, and recently turned on to the Dead and Phish respectively. I saw 7 Dead shows between December 1994 and the time of this show including the recent Dead shows in February also @ the Delta Center. Although it was my 2nd Dead show when I "got" it(Sugaree-Denver 12/01/94), it only took 1 show for me choose the righteous path, which is that of the Head. I remember exactly when it was- During Runaway Jim, Trey starts teasing "Third Stone from the Sun"-Hendrix. I lost it. Tears welled up and overwhelming emotions coursed through my body and my mind as I absorbed the power and beauty of my surroundings. Dancing, smiling, happiness. Thousands of wonderful people coming together to enjoy this awesome music and atmosphere. I knew that I wanted to experience and feel this joy again and again. I have shared this secret and to this day relish the sweetness I first experienced that day @ the base of The Wasatch Front. Still on the train, AJ
