Obviously I was seriously hooked. Wish I kept count but probably around 45 shows. Last show was 6/15/95 (highgate, vt). Nothing to write home about, but a really fun time. I don't know too many deadheads much younger than I am.
I did get majorly into phish in an extreme way. had the luck of a [real] job that allowed me to travel, and would book business trips around entire summer tour. Nothing like changing out of business attire in the lot in my rental car. I also did not keep count like I should have but easily saw 120, probably over 150. And well over 20 trey shows. Towards the end I started feeling old at the shows compared to the crowd, which is how I am sure a lot of the hardcore old school heads felt.
I think that Phish may hold a little bit more of a special feeling for me, but that is difficult to type. There is magic in Jerry's guitar and soul in his vocals that has never been reached by anyone IMHO. I definitely am way more knowledgeable in all things phish, and have a way bigger collection of phish than dead.
I think I saw or heard on Sirius that they are going to have an all Dead channel. Jam on & Howard are all I listen to now.
