(the last Dead show ever occured about 2 weeks later) Three years later I attended another big concert (Tibetan Freedom Fest) in the exact same stadium, and saw when a 25 year old woman, sitting between me and the stage, was also struck by lightning. (Herbie Hancock was playing) That was a bit freaky (the lightning, not Herbie) The moral ... concerts and big football stadiums do not mix well, at least when I am in presence. Vern
