I agree with paddyjoe and Derwood. I saw the Dead maybe 100 times in the late '80's and early '90's. Seen quite a few metal shows. Nothing compares to Pink Floyd. I saw them in '87 (?) in the horseshoe in Columbus, OH, and again in '93 (?) in the Pontiac Silverdome. Once with a lot of hallucinogens. Once without. Both times I didn't speak a word for three hours. Even during intermission. I didn't speak a fucking word. I didn't move. I was completely dumbfounded. I kept looking at David Gilmour, like an ant way down on the stage, and wondering, "How the fuck can he play a song, or even stand up, with all that crazy shit going on around him?" Musically it wasn't that great. They hit some sour notes, but it didn't matter. It gives me chills now to think abou it.
