The Grateful Dead, Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY

This was the first Grateful Dead show that I attended. We drove first to New York City to pick up a friend and then headed out into the depths of Long Island. This was my first time in New York City (although it was a short visit) which encouraged me to go back later that year to see David Letterman live and spend a couple of days.
