On the bus

Since the Grateful Dead were skipping the Northeast in the Spring of ’78, some enterprising kids in my neighborhood chartered a bus to take us to the Dead’s shows in the Southeast—one at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg, Virginia, and another at The College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.

We arrived at William & Mary early and spent the day hanging out on the beautiful campus. Phil Lesh was out and about, too, walking around wearing a Duke University shirt. I took a few shots of Phil, and it wasn’t long before he got noticed, but he was cool and hung out with us for a little while.

Just before I went into the venue, I ran into “Jester,” who put a drop of liquid in my eye. It was an incredibly psychedelic night, and I finally experienced my first “Morning Dew.”
