Both bands have gone hand in hand for me since I first heard them. I fell in love with Live Dead about a year or so before I fell in love with Fillmore East. I was in junior high in the early eighties, and those two albums just floored me...completely changed my life. The Dead were still a touring machine at that time, and getting tapes was easy...so a Deadhead was born. I caught my first show in 85 and never looked back. Those first five years were great (the second five were hit and miss, and I caught fewer and fewer shows each year) and I probably saw 50 of my 60+ Dead shows during that time period. During that same time, the Brothers' music was never out of my possession. LAFE, EAP, and Brothers & Sisters were in the tape case on every trip. Hell, I used to blast the Fillmore album out of my radio in Dead lots. But, getting to see them at that time was just not a possibility...until 1990. I missed my chance to see the "new fangled ABB" in 89, but not 90. In 1990 I finally got to see my "other" band and another "must see live" obsession came screaming into my life. :dance: A couple years after that the wife and I had our first "Beacon Experience" and all hell broke loose. :alienglow: Sooooo...my only problem with an ABB/Dead show would be shorter sets for each band. I want full shows for each! 💡 How 'bout a little Vibes like fest with both bands and their spin-offs? 💡
