One of my favorite concert memories was seeing Furthur for the first time at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. I had recently gotten into the Grateful Dead’s music, and this was my first opportunity to see Phil Lesh and Bob Weir perform live together. Looking back, it was also the only time I would get to see them share the stage, which makes the memory even more special. I made the trip alone, driving nearly three hours to the venue with my dog, Quinn. I checked us into a hotel, got Quinn settled in for the evening, and then headed to the show. There was something exciting about making the journey by myself. It felt less like simply attending a concert and more like heading out on an adventure.

As soon as the music started, I understood why so many people had followed the Grateful Dead, and the bands that grew from that music, for decades. The atmosphere was welcoming, the musicianship was incredible, and the songs I had been listening to suddenly came to life in a completely different way.
Seeing Phil and Bobby on stage together connected me to a piece of music history that, until then, I had only experienced through recordings. I have been to many concerts since then, and I have heard countless versions of the Grateful Dead’s music, but that first Furthur show remains one of my favorites. It was not just the music. It was the whole experience … discovering something new, hitting the road with Quinn, and seeing some of my all-time favorite musicians play together under the late-summer California sky. Years later, whenever I hear a Grateful Dead song, I am reminded of that drive, that show, and Quinn waiting for me back at the hotel after one of the best concerts I had ever seen.
