for a show, not comfortable with people setting
up camp literally minutes after the shows are an
nounced and confirmed. But such are Grateful
Dead fans. It's inevitable — part of that Grateful
Dead experience. The chant "Flores para los
muertos," is transformed on the tongues of
would-be concert-goers. "Tickets for the Dead. I
need tickets for the Dead." The Hult Center
adapted to the ticket-seeking throngs for the re
cent concerts by selling tickets only by mail. Still,
for the three days of concerts, there are fans scut
tling everywhere over the Eugene Centre. The
businessmen mingle with the campers.
The response of the community is notably dif
ferent; in nearly two decades Eugeneans have
grown accustomed to the arrival and perfor
mances of the Grateful Dead and their out-of
town fans. Indeed, there are cynics — people who
want the band to get back on the bus and stay
there. But many citizens, the people-watchers, are
usually at least mildly intrigued with the parade of
those colorful, loyal fans who follow the Grateful
Dead from show to show — those fans who evoke
mixed reactions ranging from fear and loathing to
delight and awe, the ones who carry an aura of
mystique and abandon with them on their
transcontinental, life-aboard school buses.
Someone once said that people who like the
Grateful Dead often possess "an advanced sense
of adventure." The collection of these adventure
seekers is an interesting sample of humanity at its
mellowest. "Yeah, it's a real cultural experience,"
says )ohn of the carnival-like atmosphere which
pervades when the Grateful Dead is in the
spotlight.
But aren't they unruly?
The Dead Heads travel with the band, from con
cert to concert, staying with friends, and friends
of friends, living in hotels and camping, as Bob
usually does.
The Grateful Dead was one of the first rock
bands to step onstage at the Hult (during August
of 1983) and play to a full house. Skeptics were
worried about the consequences of having the
band's fans invade the new hall, but the shows
went on as scheduled. That the Grateful Dead was
booked in the hall a second time suggests
something positive about the band's following,
which John calls "the most mellow fans at any
concert" he's ever seen. Still, the band and the
fans draw some negative responses.
"Most of the people I work with don't know the
Grateful Dead," says John. "But they have a really
negative opinion of them (the band)." John sur
mises that maybe it's the band's name that turns
John is also a serious fan.
A Dead Head player
people away. “People think the music is like Led
Zepplin or Kiss or something."
Bob Luby, one of the 44 Oregon Events Enter
prises security guards who covered the Grateful
Dead shows, agreed with John on the behavior of
fans. “It's been a real mellow crowd," he said, the
night of the second concert at the recent Eugene
shows. "Most people here just want to dance and
have a good time," he says. He sees his role as
one of strict necessity for safety reasons; the
guards are mainly concerned with safety, and they
don't have to play much of a police role. “We
don't want to intensify things. We just want peo
ple to have fun,” he said.
This year the Grateful Dead. Next year the Grand
Canyon.
Reasonably enough, many of those people who
follow the Grateful Dead are, in their unique way,
typical Americans who keep in tune with the work
ethic for much of the year, and see their trip as a
unique version of the modern vacation — a few
months of doing exactly what they want with no
telephones ringing in the background.
Many of the Dead Heads are merchants who
sell Grateful Dead paraphernalia to replenish
funds while on the road. At the most recent con
cert, tie-dyed T-shirts, bumper stickers and Jerry
Garcia postcards were all big sellers, not to men
tion the vegetable sandwiches sold by a roller
skater.
Another Dead Head, Anne, is a petite woman
whose loose blond hair flows down almost to her
waist. At the Eugene shows she was peddling
some of those signature Dead T-shirts. She was
selling them for friends; her day-job is a bit less
exciting. “I'm a veterinary assistant in Portland,"
she laughed. "I just came down for these shows."
There are entertainers who play their music and
juggle fire in hopes of getting enough money to
go in to see the shows. And of course, there are
drugs.
“Opium. I've got mushrooms and opium,"
breathed one shaggy-headed, glazed-eyed
character. Everyone took his presence for
granted, or at least pretended to.
Try it, you'll like it. Maybe.
A Grateful Dead concert is a happening. In fact,
it's like nothing else in the world.
