 Last night at the Greatful Dead concert (Giants Stadium, NJ) there was an
an interpreter signing the entire concert in ASL.  He was standing on a
lighting platform in about the 20th row on the floor on the right side of
the stage.  The obviously had permission to be there as he was in a restricted
area and had lighting so people could see him.  I could not see who/how many
people he was interpreting for.  The interpreter was obviously a major
dead-head, as he know most of the lyrics without flipping through the
sheet music he had.  The guy did an amazing job (although my ASL is very
limited and I was not to close to him.  Many of the fan had noticed him.
        
My questions are:
 Does anyone know who he was/works for?
 Who was he interpreting for?
 Does he do this often and for other bands?

BTW, my girlfriend work at the Helen Keller National Center (L.I. NY) and
everyone there was very excited about the guy.
