First show. March 73 Nassau. Pigpen had died a few days before. They wore these Nudie suits. Blue. Maybe Jerry refused to wear his? I can’t remember.
What I do recall is before the show I’m watching the scene on the GA floor.
Being 15 years old I had no idea who Bill Graham was. So this guy is at the mike and there’s back and forth going on with a young man in the front.
“Fuck me?” says Bill.”No, no, no. Fuck you asshole.” With that Bill pushes the mike aside and goes charging off the front stage after this guy. Two or three Crew members grab him just in time and Bill is last seen screaming and kicking as he disappears behind a stack of speakers.
I thought heck the show hasn’t even started and already this scene has potential.
i remember these outfits. they wore them in their Vegas act, opening for Siegfried & Roy
The Nudie suit is the finest garment any man can wear. All men’s fashion aspires to the greatness of the Nudie suit.
You are on the money with that statement. One day i will own a Nude Suit.
Nudie oops

GP’s has to be one of the best ever.
But JG’s was also pretty good:
I agree
Garcia’s at the Cap wisely hung this picture on the wall there^^^
Portly half-drunk Billy is the best Billy
But look: Billy’s waistline is pretty tight. His head is just bloated.
The faster we go, the rounder we get
DID SOMEONE SAY COCAINE?!?!
It’s really cute how you think John Mayer is pretty.
So much aging in 5 years…
the banana is Billy’s Spirit Dick
