I only saw two dead concerts, both at the New Haven Coliseum. At one, someone passed around the wineskin and I noticed he had a great looking leather visor with the Dead skull and rose design on it. I asked where he got it - he said someone made it for his brother, and pointed onto the stage.
Though I don't think Bob Weir had any siblings, he was definitely referring to Bob as a "brother." I ended up back stage with the guy meeting the band after the concert. I don't remember anything about it, but I do remember a stranger giving me a ride home because the people I'd come with had left when the concert was over.
