Anyone here old enough to remember Purple Micro Dot (LSD) from the 80's? Seemed like the correct theme for this effect which is very "Grateful Dead"....sorry for the crap lighting in the photos.

Hahahaha! Thank you. Honestly, I'm a Mutron III kinda guy, having said that, it's worth the build. I did 2 of them.

long strange story. Early 80s

Grateful Dead doing an outdoor show at the SIU Carbondale venue; yuge grassy bowl of an amphitheater .
An intense / brief rainstorm mid-show didnt stop the GD, but did allow dozens of soggy hippies to turn the hillside into a 100yd long ski & slip & slide & wrestle.
Watching the mud fly & the wallowing was funny as heII, looked straight outta Woodstock, especially with those purple dots throwing sparks between my ears.

I had sacrificed a US Flag , whip-stitched it up the the day before into a Tux / Tails Top Coat ala the GD movie biker/skeleton.
Some nondescript lady at the show comes up to ask " Im taking photos after show , would you come to gate blah blah? "
Turns out when there, that was Annie Leibovitz , headed to the Holiday Inn Holi-dome , tasked to shoot a makeup session with Jerry for Rolling Stone ( jer had flaked on a previous shoot back east) but the article focus, thus the pixtography, was a focus on Deadheads following the band.
Seemed like a opportune moment to pop another dot if ever there was.

Me & the(n) gf make the Inn & there's Bob & Jerry & Phil & all the blanks lolling about the glass ceiling courtyard, maybe 50 people shooting da'shit.

Now , I do like Dead but in a sick way - actually prefer mid/early studio dead, and while I was burning up a lot road then (for instance I accidentally hitchhiked from StL to Huntington Beach CA twice ... in one week & a half ... due to a misunderstanding involving me, the HB Popo, "the age of majority" & a leafy material in my pocket) , I was not a band follower nor stereotypical deadhead material. Looked more like Conehead the Bavarian, from surfer side of the family .

I wanted to get a little word in with Jerry at least but by the time a spot opens on the couch , that dot has taken control and all I can utter is "Who's Alabama?" as in Get Away. (fwiw; the correct answer was " I dont know, didnt write that".... ). Also learned that Keith & Donna ( who turns out purportedly WERE the Alabamas) were not gonna be back with the Band, after I point out her vocal additions left a hole in the sound. Jer was not particularly charmed with my insights.

Meantimes Annie come back around , asks to see my jacket, then strolls off with it to put in on some Boston southie / leprechaun-looking dude who fit the DeadHead mold (and smelled pretty fungal too!)
I thinking - Bitch, gimme my coat back and put me on the cover of the Rolling Stone, but her concept for this photo sess wasn't for tall blonde & US blue longhairs of decent hygiene.

So, somewhere out there is a Rolling Stone issue with 2000 words on Deadheads on about page 17 .. .
with Jer & some of the road Kids,
featuring my very own US Blues tail coat , hanging down to a leprechaun's knees.
& That was my brush with Gratefulness ...

Long Live the Dead, more so if Jerry would have laid off the shit.
Oh, and Phil Lesh is mild-mannered & as dorky as he looks but still he's an attempted rapist, though thats another story.

Awesome stuff. I’m a huge Annie Lebovitz fan. I was a freelance photographer in my younger years.

This story sounds like something I read on the phishonphilm Instagram account (which also does a ton of Dead stuff). If you're on there, you should send it to them and see if they can scare up the photo!
