Our second virtual Deadhead went to his/her first
concert in April of 1984. The earliest exposure was 1966 (three others
went to shows in the 60's), while four fell into the tragically better-late-than-never
category, having seen their first show in 1995. The average respondent went
to 77.9 Grateful Dead concerts, and owns 605.3 hours of live Grateful Dead
on tape, having started collecting them in September
of 1986.
