When Phil Met Jill: February 17, 1982 Rex Benefit at the Warfield

Apparently on the night that Phil Lesh took his future bride Jill to a Dead show there was magic in the air. This was my first Rex benefit, and along with the next night, the only Grateful Dead shows I ever saw at the famed Warfield in San Francisco. Note that this was the only show I took my then-GF Vera to, she was more of an X and Ramones fan, #gratefulseconds.com
