The next day I went to Rotterdam to see them again, I needed more. The music moved me, moved my whole body and soul, dancing in the waves of sound the likes I had never experienced before. The next day I flew home with this new drive to catch up with my friends and track down the Dead…….Pete S I heard them again on the radio program while in the city. The next day I left for Luxembourg where my flight left for the USA. I think I made an impression the night before dancing the acid dance right in front of them I like to think that perhaps I gave them a bit of the home crowd feeling in a land where the band repeatedly, most nights, told the crowd to get up and dance. My presence at the show is documented by an official photo of Bobby at the mike with me, at his feet, leaning over the stage.
