I don't remember what show it was exactly but i remember it was early in my  deadhead career. It was a general admission show and i remember when the  doors opened in front of us we all rushed in to an empty arena. we were the  first ones in. real fuckin cool. well ya know how crowded it gets up front  and i remember a few songs into the show there  were couple of rows of people  standing in front of me. jerry leads the band into a fabulous rendition of  It must have been the roses and halfway thru the song i noticed that everyone  in front of me was swaying in beat to the tune. were were all swaying left  to right in time with the music when i turned around. Everyone was swaying.  the audience was like the water swishing back and forth. cool. Real  fuckin cool.
