Indeed. Sorry to say, I didn't begin to truly appreciate the man's gifts until well after.

I went to his 31st B-Day in 1973 when they played at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, with The Band opening.

The Roosevelt Stadium show may have been my only GD Jerry B-day show, to be honest I can't remember. Definitely a day to celebrate and honor Jerry for his amazing musical contributions!

The wheel is turning and you can't slow down
You can't let go and you can't hold on
You can't go back and you can't stand still
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will

Still listen to him every day.


BTW - that Jersey City show had a cheesy fireworks display on upper bleacher's railing that spelled out "Happy Birthday Jerry". It was lit at the open of the third set (so after dark) the crowd loved it.
