This day in Steve History…
Was fortunate enough to catch one of six shows where Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead played together, and a good time was had by almost all…
27 years ago this day, in the A’s Stadium, got a great location to watch these guys do the rock thang. Unfortunately, I demonstrated my ability to completely misread people and situations, and became convinced that the Dead and Bob Dylan were just hating playing with each other, that they had a ton of mutual antipathy — to the dismay of my compeers. Of course, they were not dissing each other; Bob Dylan said later that these were some of his favorite times playing, and certainly one can see the impetus for the “Never-Ending Tour” in these half-dozen shows back in the late 80s.
