Buffalo's April Fools

Write a review for Grateful Dead: 1973-03-31 I attended this concert, after new friends had me listen to the "Grateful Dead" (a racehorse?) and the "New Riders of the Purple Sage" (which they produced I read), having seen them at Stony Brook U. one Halloween. A mirror ball was turned on at one part, in the 1st or 2nd jam and Jerry left the stage, (after midnight? I was there with an ex-Yippie, Jeffrey and Maureen, student/waitress at Frank Sinatra Jr.'s haunt on Bailey Ave.) and the concert ended when a three story locomotive front-end was revealed from behind the curtain as they played "Casey Jones". We saw them again, at the Watkins Glen Music Festival, with The Band and the Allman Brothers, a poorly run event, like Woodstock, in terms of food (read "Young Men With Unlimited Capital: the Story of Woodstock," after the NY Times ad that started it, the site is to have an amphitheater soon according to the NY Times). We randomly interviewed with videotape (SONY portapak) visitors at it with a friend who drove us there in a small white 1956 Harvester International school bus from Buffalo. Maybe you saw it? A women slid off it and I carried her piggyback to and from the medical tent where they set her leg (no charge!) Great recording of them. Is that an electronic tuner?
