Deadheads were in a dancing mood when the Grateful Dead came to town
Deadheads make Eugene home
By Lfa Salclccia
Oregon Daily Emerald
They came on a Friday, in a
span of about two hours; their
multitudes of Volkswagen bus
es darkening the horizon. They
came with their kids, their dogs,

hood. They came to buy things,
sell things, trade things and see
Fmerald thin«s
. L'utcl They are the Deadheads, and
on the weekend of Aug. 21 and
22. they came to make Kugene their home.
Deadheads are somewhat of a novelty. Their
whole existence is based upon the touring of the
Grateful Dead, whom they will follow to the ends
of the earth, bringing their portable camping ground
and barter fair with them

am es may be deceiving, however, and that guv in
the skirl whom you thought fur sure lived in a
smelly old van. making his living selling smudge
sticks could be a lawyer who will hop into his BMW
and drive off after the show
Since the music is hardly what people come to
see anymore (I used to tie a fan mvself, hut have
long since Inst the innocent exulxmince I took with
me to the :t() or more concerts I've seen) I thought
it would tie fun to try to capture here the essence
of the Dead scene, what some would call a travel
ing freak show, and others would < all home For as
identical as each one may seem to the outsider, each
one has a different story to tell
