    Hell yeah thanks. I'll just go through your favorite shows then. I saw the Dead live once, it was pretty fantastic . They opened with a killer version of Bertha. Took my 75 year old grandma and some hippie started dancing with her, great memories

        Oh God I'm not sure. It must have been about 15 years ago, in LA, but I don't remember the exact venue. Bertha was definitely the opener though. Bob Weir had a huge beard idk if that helps

          Any chance it was one of these two? couldn't find a bertha opener in LA for any of the post-GD incarnations, but these both had Berthas really early in the first set.

            Damn that's impressive, yeah I'm almost certain it was the Forum, looking at the pictures.

            It was probably that show. I don't remember hearing Viola Lee blues but 2009 sounds about right.
