Becky's Grateful Dead Tribute

Soldier Field-Deadhead Information

Me, catching some rays with Yogi before my first outdoor Dead show, 6/22/92. Notice the tie-dye shirts on the people walking by in the background; notice the blue "nitrous balloon" one is carrying.

This flyer was sent by Grateful Dead Productions to everyone who had tickets to this show. And they say hippies were disorganized!
