In case you haven't heard...

 

10/8/81....replay of show 1 

 

Played really well. RB super organ solo during CC Rider.

Show stopped during Playin for man down near rail. 

Tie dyed stranger did serious chest compressions for 10 minutes until medics arrived....saved his life according to band b4 Kevin Rosen took bass for encore.

Alls well that ends well.

Wow great story about the tie dyed hero up front.  Which brings up the question: did a Dead show ever pause during the music due to a medical or other situation in the crowd? 

 

Closest I can think of is when they didn't play an encore (Providence '86 perhaps?) because Billy got hit with a bottle post space, and the famous line from Phil at the '85 Saratoga show when some moron was hanging over a railing - "hey, man, there's 50,000 people waiting for you to get back into your seat."

 

But none of that ever stopped the music in its tracks.  Presumably if a naked guy climbed the speaker scaffolding during a DSO show there'd be a pause as well. 😆

Either 85 or 86 Alpine Valley guy went down upfront requiring medics...coincidentally during Playin but Bobby pressed on..." I can't stop for nothing..."

DSO had a show at the peak where 3/4 people fell out from hitting a vaporizer with fentanyl in it. They abruptly stopped Truckin in its tracks, house lights came on, and decision to end show was made.

State police said they would arrest everyone in the building, including the band, off we didn’t stop. 😉

Holy shit. That makes the fire Marshall fucking with folks clogging the aisles at Dead shows seem like child's play.

 

(And to be clear, all my banter here is not meant to undermine the obvious seriousness of this scenario.)

Wasn't there the Help>Slip Music in 75 where they came to a halt looking for a doctor because someone was having a baby?

Classic tape…

Kind of pandemonium on stage 
as they try to relay to the docs out in the crowd where the woman in labor is located…

Finally Bobby is like, “Well,,somewhere around here a lady is giving birth”,,,,and then the music kicks back in .

 

so somewhere out there there’s a person that was born in Golden gate park at that unusual 75 show…!

Cue John to tell us he delivered that child!  😄

That's the one. I always wondered if they intended to continue into Franklin's but restarted with Music since they had lost their momentum

I’d guess it’s a bit different in an arena than in a small theater. Sorta gotta stop the dancers if someone’s about to die. At this point there’s a lot of older people at the shows(I just for an AARP thing in ine mail) so gotta adjust with the times. In 1975 peeps we’re having babies at shows. 50 years later it’s heart attacks.

Perhaps Halloween 85 when crowd threw glow sticks  at the stage- 2 songs post drums space. 

[Weather Command]

Did Kevin also do Love the one your with after sitting in for encore?
