New Haven Coliseum
New Haven, CT
Old friends from the Katonah, Scotts Corners part of northeast Westchester County had become friendly with Bob Weir and he hooked them up w/ backstage passes. I tagged along and tried not to gawk as we ate catered food and watched the band walk around backstage before showtime. Never saw Jerry, though. The net result of the experience was I learned watching a show from backstage not optimal. I preferred hearing the music from about 20 feet in front of soundboard — my default spot to this day.
