What do you mean in the lot?

CG is referencing "Shakedown Street" the parking lot where all the shopping happens pre- & post-show. You'll be able to meet up with friends, and buy whatever you want: tie-dyed shirts, stickers, posters, art work, grilled cheese sandwiches, doses, kind bud, gummies, liquid, hashish, etc.... It's a bit tamer these days but something you should walk around and definitely experience.

Since this is your first show, pace yourself. Take it all in and become one with the music. The atmosphere at Red Rocks is magical as you'll likely have an outer body experience. Something you can't explain unless you've been their. When you come back down to reality, I can easily see you wanting to go on tour for several shows to continue re-living the experience. Outdoor stadiums, indoor coliseums, amphitheaters, they all have their own vibe. I didn't get on the bus until 1983 and wish I had earlier. Seen dozens of shows before and after Jerry as no two are the exact same.
