Basically this.

While I can claim to have first seen them in '71, maybe during Pigpen' s hiatus and with NRPS opening, and then another few shows, most memorably Colt Park '76 (anyone else here?) in years following, it was rolling through the Finger Lakes countryside in my friend' s giant Chrysler listening to cassettes that meant the most to me until the band's final years when my Saturday night ritual was lap-swimming & steam room in the North Hempstead town pool, Eddie's Pizza in New Hyde Park, and the back home for WBAI's "Morning Dew" Dead concert replays through the ages during which time  I'd have great fun in bed with a partner who no longer worried about pregnancy and whose children were at summer camp or with their father.

Do I wish I'd spent a year of my life following  the band? For sure, but my hundreds of shows stand as a pretty magical time in their own right.

Currently, I really like the Dead Shows Roku app interface for easily accessing decades of concerts that play through a Marantz receiver of the same vintage that once played cassettes and "Aoxomoxoa" through "Mars Hotel" LPs.
