Susan, I saw Fleetwood Mac, back stage at about the same time you saw the Dead. My girlfriend and I were not back stage to begin with. We were right up front while "Firefall" played to nothing but boos. Everybody had come to see Fleetwood Mac and Firefall got a really hard time. When Fleetwood Mac came on stage the place went nuts and pushed towards the stage. The next thing we knew we were getting crushed. My girlfriend got knocked down and that was enough for me. I laid out anyone within ten feet of me, then threw my girlfriend over my shoulder and went UNDER the stage. Security had seen me lay out most people in the front row so they just let us stay back stage for the whole show. I really had the hots for Stevie at the time so it was a great concert to be back stage. That was in North Carolina and I believe the same year Vietnam ended 1975, I can remember it like yesterday. The college days! I lived across from Duke at the Duke Manor Apartments, a truly fun place for a single guy at the time. Duke is in Durham aka Fat City, and I was, I was in Fat City. I was all Blue Devil until I'd visit Chapel Hill (UNC's home), which caused me to turn into a UNC Tarheel. I figured they both were my college as they both had blue for a color. Besides I'd spent several of the past years with guys in the Army and I was making up for all the girls I'd missed in three years. Anyway a Duke gal didn't want a UNC guy and a UNC gal didn't want a Duke guy. Solution: simple, I had Duke shirts and UNC "If God wasn't a Tarheel, then why is the sky Carolina blue?" T-shirts. One thing I learned in the Army was the value of camouflage. 909 BLUE
