The Grateful Dead - Oakland, Ca 12/31/87 New years at the Coliseum

I was late to the travelling party that was the Grateful Dead.  By the time I was a full fledged fan, it was 1986 and didn't see my first show until Providence, RI in the fall of 1987.  I did manage to make up for lost time seeing the Dead close to 25 times between that date and 1993.    As i like to say, I got busy! 

1987 was before Jerry went into a coma, twice!  1987 was when we were transitioning from Reagan to HW Bush.  It was a strange time.

This show was one of the very first concerts simulcast, which means for those of you from that era, you could watch the show live via your cable provider.  How quaint!  Enjoy it! Grab it here
