Grateful Dead 7-4-84 Five Seasons Center Cedar Rapids IA 

I won free tickets to this show while partying at a bar in Iowa City the week before. Being at the concert made for a great way to celebrate July 4th! Awesome to be seeing it again 40 years later!

Grateful Dead primal show wave that flag ⚡️

My first LSD visuals were set two help slip Franklins tower, great show! Jerry unleashed Franklins tower! You better roll away the dew!!

The highlight of the evening, and there were many moments, was the post-show fireworks battle between the parking lot and the parking ramp. Eventually both camps united and war against the hotel began, with rockets begin launched towards hotel guests gazing innocently out of their windows. It was truly grand. Glad I can remember it.

I was on this entire tour and this probably was my favorite show. Still the best Cumberland and Row Jimmy I ever saw.

I was at this show too, great time. It the last time I saw the Dead. 31 years ago today.

My grandparents were still alive and lived in Cedar Rapids during this time. I had just turned 13 at the time of this show:) Wish I could have been there but I wouldn't learn about GD for another 5 years or so!

I was at this show and I'm so glad someone filmed this! I was a poor student at Hawkeye Tech and could only afford one ticket so the wife missed out on this epic show. It was a memorable night and I was shooting photos all day of the jugglers and Deadheads partying in the parking lots.

This was my first show....awesome !!!

Saw the Dead several times between'79 - '87, but this show was part of my one mini-tour. From here I went to Alpine Valley, so 3 shows in 4 nights. Incredible how diverse each show was. No wonder they could keep it going so long at that level.

Simply the best. So on point.

I was there. Great way to spend a 4th of July!!!!

Love it!

I was only 13, didn't know squat about GD then either, but I sure remember the controversy over how the Cedar Rapids Police Dept behaved towards those coming to the city to see the concert. CRPD pissed off a ton of people, and many vowed to never come back for any reason.

My first ride on the bus. Had a great show ⚡️ Great July 4th show Fat Man Rocks! Lots of doses it must’ve been the US Blues

Happy 4-20th of July 2019!!

Thanks voodoonola!! This was my first of hundreds more!! Anyone have a link to the 1st set?? grAte night!!

I was not there

Great show, great night. is the 1st set out there?

the venue sucked! living in Cedar Rapids at the time friends from all over IA IL and WI showed up at our house we had a bbq and walked, more than 20 of us, to the venue. the five seasons center was known as a place that sound went to die and it was eanning it's reputation that night. we who had been to other concerts at the venue knew it sucked and we tried to assure those who were not that The Dead did NOT suck that night the venue did. in spite of all that we still had a real good time! years later i found the soundboard recording. it was a great show wish i had been there.

It's video. What it's video of is the question.
