It was Fall 82`(RED Rocks,Co).Me and my Ol` man had just moved to Colorado From NY.I was 7 months pregnant,and had a hard time even getting up the very steep walk from the parkin lot to the Amphitheater...We had arrived pretty early...thinkin we might encounter such problems....When i finally got to the top(WHEW),a security staff member said"HEy you coulda parked in the handicapped lot".Oh well...
We took our seats...which were grate....(As if any seat at RED ROCKS are not GRATE)...and proceeded to just take in the night.
People were HIGh above US....on the ROCk walls.It was a awesome place.
The Band came on....and the feeling  was from that day to this....was like no other....The words and music floated and hung in the air...and felt so thick I thought i could reach out and grab some.
Maybe it was the Place,Maybe my pregnancy was enhancing it all.I dunno...But I`ll never forget that show.
My Daughter who is Graduating HS this year....Who never got to see THE DEAD.....can at least say...That she shared it somehow!

BLUES
