We've met so many people over the years at Dead shows that festivals are really more like family reunions.

One parent is quoted as saying, "I always felt comfortable bringing my kids to Dead shows."

Most students at last week's rally said they believed that Dead shows were comparatively peaceful and uneventful.

Dead shows are just a convention of culinary ideas.

It should have hit that guy three seats over who's been wishing for it every moment since his first Dead show.

"People who hang out in malls don't go to Dead shows," he said.
