Like another poster here, this was the first time I heard Jerry live. The beautiful Music Hall inside the K.C. Municipal Auditorium. So great to hear Jerry in a great sounding venue the first time. Like the other poster, my first GD show was St. Louis 5/15/1977…First K.C. Dead show was 10/28/1977 at Memorial Hall, Kansas City, KS…Great way to start my trip.

I got into the Dead while I was in High School, circa 1973-74. Unfortunately I was living in Kansas City, where for some reason the Dead didn’t perform for almost 5 years, between late ’72 and late ’77. It didn’t help that the ’75 hiatus happened during that time, but getting to see Jerry at this show in ’76 was such a joy! Hearing Jerry perform songs that I already knew so well was just fantastic. The Music Hall is a beautiful Art Deco venue, well suited to the Garcia Band. And if I am not mistaken I think I saw Betty herself behind the house mix console. I did finally see the GD in St. Louis on 5/15/77 and they returned to KC that fall. It was a great time period to get on the bus!
