Sure there was some paranoia. We were very smart in how we traveled though. We would fly as often as we could ,but when we had to drive we drove in caravan's of rental car's. The car that had the crystal would have no other drugs in it. It's not hard to hide a small glass jar with 10 or 20 grams in it. Then another car would have the blank paper and the other's would have the weed an whatever other drug's we had. I alway's had the car that carried the crystal and I wouldn't even smoke as we traveled so incase we got pulled over a K-9 wouldn't hit on us. Also our attitude was different. It wasn't like we were some drug dealer's running coke. We thought that the work we did was of great importance and benifit to the world. It wasn't done for money.We felt and still feel that LSD can show people the light and we were willing to sacrifice our freedom for this.There were many sketchy situation's we encountered ,but reality would alway's seem to bend in our favor.  Those that did it only for money were not quite as lucky.
This was a long time ago and a different life for me.

I'm glad you did bump this. I love these stories. When I was reading these stories I thought "......Chinacat must have copied and pasted this because it sounds exactly the way he told it before word for word." I wasn't going to say anything because I loved reading them again anyway but then I noticed that it was a bump. It was even better reading this a second time.
Chinacat, we want more stories!

This concert wasn't the best musically for the dead,but it was absolutaly one of the most important I attended. The dead were just finishing up there fall tour in 91 and we were headed for Oakland coliseum. Word spread around Bill Graham died in a helicopter crash. Bill was a legend since he helped promote alot of the concert's of the sixties and seventies .He was the owner of the filmores and was considered an enemy by alot of hippie's because he was greedy. None the less he had a special place in the dead family, Jerry loved him and he no doubt helped the band through alot of hard times. Any way so the Oakland run goes as scedualed. On the last night Ken Kesey comes out during Dark Star He lay's out this heart felt rap about Bill being there for him whem Ken's son died. Also through in some poetry . There's not a dry eye in the house. This isn't even the special show yet. Thinking we had a couple months off before the winter tour we head home to San Francisco. Like a day or to after the tour we hear the Dead are going to be doing a free concert in Golden Gate Park!!!! I was like no fuckin way. Golden Gate Park is ground zero for the psychedelic movement. In the sixties the Dead and Janis and the Airplane would play free concert's there all the time. More people have gotten turned on in that park than anywhere on earth. Sure enough it was true and not only the Dead were going to be there ,but also Santana and CSNY and a bunch of other San Francisco band's that Bill helped promote. The day came and as I awoke I knew that it would be one of the most special day's of our lives. It wasn't even a question if we were going to dose Since tour had ended our tolerence was quite high. A thumbprint was in order. As we head down to the park we run into the our fluff friend. He's got 5 grams of crystal and he's dosing every body who want's(and can handle it) for free. I get very very high. Turn's out about a half a million people show up and all the old school family is there. Ken kesey, Chet Helm's and everybody from the sixties that's still alive. Leary is there with his groupies. The energy is incredible. Here I am with the people from the original movement in the original place with the original music I won't try to describe the rest of the show since it wouldn't do it justice. Afterward's we decide to walk to the ocean through the park like we read they did at the Be-in in 67. We wern't the only ones with this idea, as lots of people headed that way. As I walked through the park It really hit me. Like a Muslim who visit's Mecca or a Buddhist who visit's Bohdi or a christain who visit's Jerusalem, I was now in the holy land. Everywhere i looked I saw the original pure energy that was the summer of love. I nelt down and cried and so did my friends. I sobed tear's of pure joy as I realized how privaleged I was to be there. For that day we were allowed to go back and feel that powerful pure energy that was there at the begining of the revolution. That energy was at every Dead show But that day it was alot more powerful .That day is imbedded in my heart forever.

ChinaCat is one of those rare gems that you can only hope to find in your lifetime. A poster child for LSD knowledge and enlightenment.

This was a great bump.
I would give anything to be able to experience a dead show like that.
