I saw the Grateful Dead for their last show in Seattle in '95 and I still can't look at Memorial Stadium the same way - Like an enormous concrete clam with wooden benchrow teeth singing "Help on the Way slipnot to Franklin's Tower" while a bunch of rainbow-colored Jerry Bears tumble from its maw. Really. I'm not kidding. I spent the majority of that show yelling at the grass to "stop clawing me" and looking for my lost birkenstok.
