From The New York Times -- 'Tapers' at Grateful Dead Concerts Spread the Audio Sacrament This story reminds me that when I went to see Bette Midler a few weeks ago there was a husband-and-wife sitting next to me. She said that her husband bought her tickets to see Bette Midler to make up for all of the Grateful Dead concerts she attended with him when they were younger. I guess he was quite the "Dead-head" and so they traveled all over to go to Dead concerts. And I told them that when I was doing a graduate fellowship in Florida in the mid-'80s that my roommate was a Dead-head. And one night one of the women in our program came over to our apartment and was drinking a glass of orange juice and she knocked over it and it spilled all over a shoebox full of bootleg Grateful Dead concert tapes my roommate Mike had. He was livid. He kept screaming: "These are irreplaceable!!!" I felt for the guy.
