Copperheads, Jerry Garcia.
We are in the middle of 9 days of Jerry. He was born August 1st and died August 9th. I pay extra respect during this time and remember many good times. I know there are plenty of Heads on here, so post up.
Also, this week there are probably big wall guys and gals dealing with small pieces of mashed up metal in granite. Discuss...

"Deal"
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia
Copyright Ice Nine Publishing;
Since it cost a lot to win
and even more to lose
You and me bound to spend some time
wondring what to choose
Goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play
and play it slow
Wait until your deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
I been gambling here abouts
for ten good solid years
If I told you all that went down
it would burn off both your ears
It goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play
and play it slow
Wait until your deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
Since you poured the wine for me
and tightend up my shoes
I hate to leave you sittin there
composin lonesome blues
It goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play
and play it slow
Wait until your deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down, no
Don't you let your deal go down

Does the term "deadhead" have anything to do with the lack of brain function?

In fact it is just the opposite.

The Dead have never been my thing. I got to a post-Jerry reunion concert of sorts once with the VIP passes and all b/c a friend did some work for some of the guys in the band. It was interesting for me in a sociology kinda way, but seeing how out of place I was, I felt guilty taking up a space there. My pass was actually good for the whole weekend, so I was glad to run into a stoner guy from my old lab who lived for that sort of thing and pass it on.
There is a Dead inspired symphony in Santa Cruz this weekend at the Cabrillo music festival. Don't know if it's sold out.

I got the most random email from my stepmom (age:70-something) this morning. An excerpt:
"This evening the sunset was really beautiful and B. and I had dinner on the deck -- then I went inside and started making granola, mostly because I hadn't given a birthday gift to a friend (hi, Jill, I'm copying you). I put on a CD -- Workingman's Dead -- and I just want to tell all of you to pass on to your children that the Deadheads did not ever represent the Dead. They were just a bunch of stoners who followed the tours and didn't listen to the music. This is very important to tell your children! The Grateful Dead's music was sweet, almost gentle. In fact, at the time I was kind of dismissive because I liked things a little (as Tina would say) more rough.... but now that I'm um slowing down I realize I was being too dismissive. So listen to that album. "
Way to characterize about 200,000 people...who were apparently onto something about 30 years before you were!

Jaybro, that would be very high praise indeed. Garcia was unbelievably active in music, he seemed to be everywhere, all the time, working on nearly every genre of popular music, even making some music genres popular. A brilliant and accomplished muscian.
I thought when he died that it was more from his hyperactivity then the drug abuse. He just "emptied the tank" and coasted to a stop, too exhausted to find a filling station.

Yeah, we always wondered just how deep the tank was. Kept wanting him to cover just a little more ground.
Others promote physics, wyde climbing, turbo diesel retro-fits and, not unlike Jerry, harmony.

I was up in the Mono Recesses when JG died; I didn't learn of his death until we got back to Shaver Lake. ...hit me hard, that one did. He really personified the Dead for me. Bob Weir and Garcia played some amazing sets off of each other.
In addition to his bouts of drug abuse/dependence, it's widely-reported that he suffered from sleep apnea. Do some research. That is one heinous killer! For me, that explains the "heart attack of natural causes."

I was driving the 14 miles to work, when I heard the radio play non stop dead music, ( they were never a band that got a lot of radio time) I knew what had to be up before I got the news. I still feel it today 14 years later.

It was the Dead all day.
1980, I am cross country skiing at Crane Flat, I think it was, and camped out in the Valley, maybe Upper Pines. The people across from me were listening to the Dead on the boom box.
Flashback to 1968: summertime at Curry Village. I hear the clank of metal on metal. I see a short, stout climber covered with pitons and bongs walk up and through the pavilion. First time I ever saw a real climber.

Friends- Jerry isn't dead. Really. It was just a big put-on to allow him to go back to a peaceful existence. Think about it: Back in '94 the concerts were out of control. People crashing the gates, starting riots, getting busted, couldn't hear the music for all of the people singing. What was the point of putting on a concert if no one was really there to listen? and they were getting banned from multiple sites. The whole drug aspect of the scene was front page news whenever a concert hit town, and the authorities didn't want that going on during their watch.
Jerry was in & out of rehab, but he had just turned a corner and was getting healthy.
My take is that the "powers that be" offered him a way out - Fake his death, go underground, & live happily ever after. I think he's living in the south of France somewhere near R Crumb & just laying low with a new identity. Think about it...

anybody ever find the cassettes i dropped off 4th pitch of Mescalito in 1984?
early eighties girlfriend's father was a Dead-Med, never missed a show, would actually peer-pressure us to go to shows- once there, i resisted the collective consciousness at shows, would not submit to IT, though the jamming was miraculous, all these apparent zombies swaying in unison, resist, resist....
but then, at our first hanging bivouac on Mescalito, we heard a clattering in the night- 11 carefully-chosen cassettes slithering down the wall- gone were Hendrix, Yes, the Doors- we were left with only one cassette for the ensuing 7 days on the wall, the tape that was in the Walkman and so didn't get dropped- Workingman's Dead-
over and over in a continuous loop, bivvies and belays- it didn't get boring- it just kept getting better- Workingman's intermingled with El Cap in my brain- when we got to the top, i knew something had changed- i had joined the body- i was a Deadhead now ...

my first regular climbing partner was a dead head; and he owned a car. Every f*#king weekend - year round - we'd do a long road trip to somewhere in the Pac NW, and the whole way he'd be smoking pot and listening to Dead music on his 8 track. I don't smoke pot, and I never really got the Dead stuff. oh well. got lots of climbing done. ha

I just saw the title of this thread and thought it read the "Dead Horse Thread." But that would be about 1/3 of threads recently. LOL!
I've never been much of a Dead fan, but I do appreciate them. Had one back in the day who was (or at least claimed to be) in close with the band. What a crowd that was. You could always find their floor and room at trade shows by the huge billows of hippie lettuce smoke oozing out of it!

Norweege-
classic that you bumped this thread with that Kesey reading,
as Pate and I were JUST talking about that two days ago.
Now THATS some headly sh#t right there.
This is post #87, fitting.
I started seeing the Dead in 87 and climbing too.
The day Jerry died I was sitting in my van in Prescott when
a breeze could be heard whispering through
the pines.
When the zephyr neared
the windchimes on the porch started playing along with
the music in my van,
synchronized perfectly with Eyes of the World.

First concert (of any type) I attended was the last Winterland Show New Years 78/79. I was 16. My friend David and I drove down from our weekend/holiday job at Royal Gorge straight to the concert. It went all night, beginning with the Blues Brothers, and New Riders of the Purple Sage. In the morning they served breakfast, then bid us all farewell. Then the pleasant buzz turned sour as we started seeing a lot of broken glass on the streets, and sure enough, young and dumb we didn't foresee the obvious feast for thieves, came back to my car emptied of all our gear, skis, even my climbing pack and camera. Big bummer. Great show though!

I started seeing the Dead in 87, too. I was the baby in this pre-show family photo. Dylan and the Dead somewhere, some time in 87. Last show for me was MSG, September 1994.
The day Jerry died was the first time I saw my dad cry.
I caught the Dead this summer in Mountain View. It was...interesting to say the least. It reminded me of childhood a bit.
EDIT: Said hello to Zane there, too. Just to say, he is alive and well. Here's a weird one, from Kesey's friend, Ken Babbs: http://www.skypilotclub.com/

Flight of the sea birds,

Sleep

And, of course:
While the firelight's aglow

I'm gonna go all hippie on you, sorry. Are there any older children of Dead Heads out there?
I was struck at the Dead show this past May when I saw all these young 20-something-year-olds, and felt like I had been reunited with a certain part of my family that had disappeared from my life. I'd imagine that some of those 20-something-year-olds were kids at shows in the 80's/90's and I felt like there was a real possibility that I had run around with some of them as a little kid.
Running around on a lawn in the dusk of a show seems like it would be idyllic for little kids (if you forget all the inappropriate things that go on at shows, which I know a lot of people who don't get the scene can't do, and that's ok).
I know for me, as a little kid at music festivals (not just Dead shows), it was so fun to jump around to music and find other little kids. My parents were pretty responsible once they had kids. I'm sure at least a few people here would question bringing a toddler to a Dead show, but I don't think it was inappropriate. For better or for worse, it controlled a really large part of my development in that the folklore perpetuated in many Grateful Dead songs (biblical allusions, rose and goddess imagery) became the foundation of a great part of my spirituality. (I almost feel like an experiment, actually.) I'd guess it would be hard not to incorporate those things into adult life if the music was the background of a lot of childhood.
I think somehow it's connected to having started climbing, too...since I see some similarities in the communities.

Delilah Jones was the mother of twins,
Two times over and the rest were sins.
Raised eight boys, only I turned bad,
Didn't get the lickin's that the other ones had.
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down,
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on.
one more
When I awoke, the Dire Wolf, six hundred pounds of sin,
Was grinning at my window, all I said was "Come on in".
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.

Pate--
Mostly Northeast shows, and by the time I was around they had "real" jobs, so weren't touring. Parents are from upstate New York and I grew up in CT. I know I had never been to a show on the West Coast before this past May. But, if you were at shows on the East Coast '80-'85, your paths probably crossed. :)
Cheers,
Allyson

Even the comparatively mediocre Dead albums like Wake of the Flood have some really fantastic Hunter/ Garcia songs like Eyes of the World.
Right outside this lazy summer home
you ain't got time to call your soul a critic no.
Right outside the lazy gate of winter's summer home,
wond'rin' where the nuthatch winters,
wings a mile long just carried the bird away.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world,
the heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own.
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the mornin' brings,
But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenin's and songs of it's own.
There comes a redeemer, and he slowly too fades away,
And there follows his wagon behind him that's loaded with clay.
And the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom, and decay,
and night comes so quiet, it's close on the heels of the day.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world,
the heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own.
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the mornin' brings,
But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenin's and songs of it's own.
Sometimes we live no particular way but our own,
And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home,
sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone,
sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world,
the heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own.
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the mornin' brings,
But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenin's and songs of it's own.

I think that's the point. there's something to be taken from each and every one, of those.
From time to time I hear clips in my head from some of those songs that I used to think I didn't even like.

As someone who appreciates the Dead's music and has several friends who followed the band whenever possible, I'm curious as to how you all feel about PHISH?
Are they continuing what the Dead started, or doing their own thing?
Do you consider yourselves fans of them also, or are the fan bases of the two bands more segregated?
Just curious...

Saw them in '74 at the old Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis. It was a great show, part of the Wake of the Flood Tour. They did a great job on Tennessee Jed that night.
They lost a lot when Pigpen died, though. They were never the same.

Mark Karan gave a great performance at a small club in Sausalito Friday. He has recovered from throat cancer and has a new CD out - and is playing wonderfully. Like the Dead of old, Mark and his band played till 1:30AM. Bob Weir showed up at midnight and played a few songs. He even brought his dad with him.

The pictures above were taken before I saw the Dead in both New Orleans and Atlanta a few years after they quit using the infamous "Wall of Sound". If interested, there are some pretty cool articles floating around the net about the technology curve and expense the Dead went through to put on a good show. Something like 800 individual McKintosh amplifiers, JBL speakers and Phil Lesh's bass having a quadrophonic setup with separate channels for each string. Another interesting reason for using a system like this is that it was essentially distortion free and they heard the same sound the audience did (no monitors).
I think they quit using this system in 1974 about 4 years before I ever saw them perform. None the less this looks like a thread where someone might appreciate the pics.

Once,in the midwest, I was doing my part cleaning up the trash in my immediate vicinty, when up putts Bill Graham on his bapper and hands me a ticket to the next show. Pretty cool.
In my later years seeing the Dead, I saw a dude get struck by lightning. That's Vegas for ya.

"Shadow boxing the apocalypse"
Now there's a tune that just kinda disappeared! Not even on any of the box sets, My Bro.
After High School, I moved up to the Santa Rosa area for some schoolin'. A bunch of really great luthiers lived up there, including Doug Irwin. We used to go over to his studio to check out his stuff, totally incredible. That man could do inlays like a Japanese ninja. He showed us Pete Sears' bass, complete with a dragon snaking up the neck and red LEDs for the eyes. He said he was trying to figure out a way to make smoke come out of the dragon's nostrils, which was at the headstock.
I asked him how much it would cost to build me a guitar. He looked around and picked up a gutted out ax from his "in" rack and said "one like this would cost you about $1500." The thing had no strings or electronics, and I held it there for a second and looked down at the amazing inlay of The Wolf. Holy fcuk. I ran my hand up and down the neck, kinda wowed. Doug chuckled. He'd taken off the sticker ("it was pealing off") and inlaid a replica, it was absolute and beautiful. He said Jerry was gonna sh#t when he saw the work. I'm like .... a broke college student who couldn't find the scratch to have Doug build me one. Shucks. Alembic studios was up there too, as well as some other very talented builders.

Doug Irwin"s personal story is really cool, as was his relationship with Jerry. After the Wolf Jerry wanted another guitar and told Irwin "don't hold back". The result was Tiger. Those were a couple of amazing guitars.

Yeah, My Brother Esau definitely fell out of favor sometime in the late 80's. Great song, love the lyrics. IMO one of the best of the first set Weir songs.
My brother Esau killed a hunter
Back in 1969
And before the killing was done,
His inheritance was mine.
But his birthright was a wand to wave
Before a weary band.
Esau gave me sleeplessness
And a piece of moral land.
My father favored Esau,
Who was eager to obey
All the bloody wild commandments
The Old Man shot his way.
But all this favor ended
When my brother failed at war.
He staggered home
And found me in the door.
[Chorus:]
Esau skates on mirrors anymore...
He meets his pale reflection at the door.
Yet sometimes at night I dream
He's still that hairy man,
Shadowboxing the Apocalypse
And wandering the land.
Shadowboxing the Apocalypse
And wandering the land.
Esau holds a blessing;
Brother Esau bears a curse.
I would say that the blame is mine
But I suspect it's something worse.
The more my brother looks like me,
The less I understand
The silent war that bloodied both our hands.
Sometimes at night, I think I understand.
It's brother to brother and it's man to man
And it's face to face and it's hand to hand...
We shadowdance the silent war within.
The shadowdance, it never ends...
Never ends, never ends.
Shadowboxing the Apocalypse, yet again...
Yet again.
Shadowboxing the Apocalypse,
And wandering the land.

Wiki spray-
Lee Shelton (March 16, 1865 - March 11, 1912) was an African American cab driver and pimp[1] convicted of murdering William "Billy" Lyons on Christmas Eve, 1895 in St. Louis, Missouri. The crime was immortalized in a popular song that has been recorded by numerous artists.
William Lyons, 25, a levee hand, was shot in the abdomen yesterday evening at 10 o'clock in the saloon of Bill Curtis, at Eleventh and Morgan Streets, by Lee Sheldon, a carriage driver. Lyons and Sheldon were friends and were talking together. Both parties, it seems, had been drinking and were feeling in exuberant spirits. The discussion drifted to politics, and an argument was started, the conclusion of which was that Lyons snatched Sheldon's hat from his head. The latter indignantly demanded its return. Lyons refused, and Sheldon withdrew his revolver and shot Lyons in the abdomen. When his victim fell to the floor Sheldon took his hat from the hand of the wounded man and coolly walked away. He was subsequently arrested and locked up at the Chestnut Street Station. Lyons was taken to the Dispensary, where his wounds were pronounced serious. Lee Sheldon is also known as 'Stag' Lee.[3]
Hunters take-
1940 Xmas evening with a full moon over town
Staggerlee met Billy DeLyon
and he blew that poor boy down
Do you know what he shot him for?
What do you make of that?
'Cause Billy DeLyon threw lucky dice,
won Staggelee's Stetson hat
Baio, Baio, tell me how can this be?
You arrest the girls for turning tricks
but you're scared of Staggerlee
Staggerlee is a madman and he shot my Billy dead
Baio you go get him or give the job to me
Delia DeLyon, dear sweet Delia-D
How the hell can I arrest him when he's twice as big as me?
Don't ask me to go downtown - I wouldn't come back alive
Not only is that mother big but he packs a .45
Baio Delia said just give me a gun
He shot my Billy dead now I'm gonna see him hung
She waded to DeLyon's Club through Billy DeLyon's blood
Stepped up to Staggerlee at the bar
Said Buy me a gin fizz, love
As Staggerlee lit a cigarette she shot him in the balls
Blew the smoke off her revolver, had him dragged to city hall
Baio, Baio, see you hang him high
He shot my Billy dead and now he's got to die
Delia went a walking down on Singapore Street
A three-piece band on the corner played "Nearer, My God, to Thee"
but Delia whistled a different tune...what tune could it be?
The song that woman sung was Look out Staggerlee
The song that Delia sung was Look out Staggerlee
The song that woman sung was Look out Staggerlee
The song that Delia sung was Look out Staggerlee

It's not that we don't want to explain, it's just I don't think it can be done. If it works for you you don't have to task.
The rhythms, the songs, the guitar solos, the Lyrics, the drums, the second set experimentations, the jazz-like improvesational nature?
-does that help ? it's like trying to write a musical score in words...

PS. Jeremy, what kinda of music do you like?
With the Dead, there's a certain attention that you have to give to appreciate it...At least that's what I've found.
My brother used to play them incessantly. I couldn't stand it, but I went to a show with him anyway (turned out to be Pig's last show...). I couldn't think straight for a week--and no, I was like 13 and totally straight for the show.
I have an idea. Check out this web page, and listed to the Hard to Handle...

Thanks Peggy O!
Just one of many classic moments from "The Grateful Dead Movie.
Funny, when I was a grommet I dosed on the way to the video store to rent The Movie for the first time.
It took everything My friend and I took to get out of that store WITH the video. Funky night.
The Dead Movie set the standard for documenting a rock show, much less, the culture of heads. The way the sound is synched with the different cameras is still cool today.
And the animation! EVERYBODY remembers the animation!
Just a little reply to Jeremy who posted upthread about "not getting it".
Jeremy- you climb MUD, right?
THAT I just don't get. That's what makes climbing, music, art...the WORLD go 'round.
Same with OWs- which makes jaybro espescially demented...a widefetish deadhead. DUDE, issues!!!

Peggy, if I played that for my special ed kids over the years, I'd get the whole spectrum. Bunches of them would bob in their chairs, psyched for the input. Others would question my contemporaenity. Most of them would get a charge out of the fact that whatever it was, it moved me. it's rewarding to interact with others at this level.
Har! Deljefe!

Slight OT note on Ken Kesey
On top of Mt. Pisgah is a monument made for Ken's son Jed Kesey and Lorenzo West who lost their lives in an Oregon Wrestling van accident. The bronze monument has two long vertical openings one of which the sun shines through on the Summer Solstice the other during the Winter Solstice. It took a team of professors from Oregon weeks to get the alignment just right....It is quite a thing to behold.

high green chilly winds and windy vines
In loops around the twisted shafts of lavender
They're crawiling to the sun.
underfoot the ground is patched
With arms of ivy wrapped around manzanita,
Stark and shiny in the breeze.
Wonder who will water all the children of the garden
When they sigh about the barren lack of rain and
Droop so hungry neath the sky.
William Tell has stretched his bow till it won't stretch
No furthermore and/or it may require a change that hasn't come before.
No more time to tell how, this is the season of what,
Now is the time of returning with our thought
Jewels polished and gleaming.
Now is the time past believing the child has relinquished the rein,
Now is the test of the boomerang tossed in the night of redeeming.
Seven faced marble eyed transitory dream doll,
Six proud walkers on the jingle bell rainbow,
Five men writing with fingers of gold,
Four men tracking down the great white sperm whale,
Three girls waiting in a foregign dominion
Riding the whalebelly, fade away in moonlight,
Sink beneath the waters to coral sands below.

i harness and explore absurd venues. physical and mental. in a domestic culture, only the absurd is worthy of our potential.
understimulated, our creative thrust is left dry-humping commonality.
you gotta go WAY out there to thrive.
that was jerry's golden attribute. he stretched expecation. his and ours.
walls in winter? sneider is there. and his soul thrives.
commuting from your lazy boy to your suv to your office chair.. you embody surrender. you are not thriving.
bring on the absurdity.
dark star - other one - st. stephen - eleven - uncle john's tease - ...does it really ever end? i mean the flow of forgiveness.

Take you to the leader of the band

spinning, realing, oneness....

the occasional blair of the freight train horn
They made us family and I still get it listening to the bootlegs

I just saw Further last night in Manchester NH.
It was a pretty cool show. Phil and Bobby are playing really well!
I forget the guys name, but the one who plays Jerry in Dark Star Orchestra was on fire as well!
Great show, good vibe, no hassle from security if you were smoking.
The scene on shakedown after the show was pretty funny, many tanks of nitrous on the street, next to the cops and the cops didn't seem to care! I don't do that hippie crack, but it was amusing to see.
The one thing I thought was odd was standing in the aisle, looking for our friends, we got yelled at by a couple of old guys to keep moving.
Sheesh, the nerve!
Seeing them again makes me want to head back out on tour.

I quit jobs for shows but always had another lined up when I got back.
I got fed up with the scene at Deer Creek back in 93 when not once, but thrice in the same day, I was offered crack out on Shakedown. That and it just seemed like the party was the focus - one in ten thousand, huh?
Saw The Dead here in Los Angeles last year however, and it kinda kicked a whole lot of ass!

Sportivas never fit me anyway.
During the "Mega Dead" era it became just as trendy to hate the Dead as it was to love them(or at least the scene)"
In the mid 80's I was the only Head in my entire high school of 3000 kids, but a few teachers knew what was up. I would ditch friday and power it all the way to the Bay area from Tucson, see three shows and power it home, in time to show up for a few monday afternoon classes. One teacher, knowing damn well why I was so frizzlefried and tiedyed made me sing Touch of Grey in front of the Whole class, just to make me pay.
I saw my first period PE teacher at a show on what was the second day of school. I told him I had seen him, he sure didn't remember(!!!), and gave him a wink. I never showed up for that class again and was never marked absent.
That school was a joke, learned way more on the road. Didn't miss a west coast show and graduated on time.
Then climbing took over.

That first photo is classic, Pate. Thanks for posting!
Unfortunately, my personal experience with Dead shows is much less exciting. Since I was imprisoned in the geriatric swamps of southwest Florida most of my life, I only made the Orlando '94 show, but it was canceled just as I pulled in to the venue. Couldn't make the following (?) evening. Then they played Tampa about a year later but I couldn't make that one either. Then Jerry left us all.
At least we still had/have The Other Ones, The Dead (last year's Inglewood show was solid), Ratdog, and of course, the upcoming Memorial weekend Furthur Festival in Angels Camp!

The music is special, I play a fair bit of it. I like the counter culture economy. Shakedown street was like a band of gypsys. Kind of like as close as your gonna get to experience 3rd world liveing in the good ol USA.
The level of hypocracy on tour was absolutly stunning however. One look at the grounds the morning after and it was crystal clear how full of sh#t all the earth first hippy types are.... At the end of the day the experience was a lot more about getting f*#ked up, makeing money and listening to music than it was about peace, love and harmony with nature...

tradman,
It is stunning to see the ground after thousands of people have gathered, isn't it? Crowds are very irresponsible. Having agreed with you on that, I'd also like to consider a couple other things.
First, in order to call Dead Heads hypocrites for the trash left after a Dead show, you would have to believe they were all "earth first hippy types," which I don't. Maybe you could call them hippies...maybe. But really, they were their own separate thing: Dead Heads, more likely linked by LSD (the original Acid Tests) and a search for collectivism and mind expansion than environmental activism. In fact, you were at Dead shows, but seem reluctant to label yourself an "earth first hippy type." Your reasons for being at shows were probably very similar to others', and I doubt you were there to pick up garbage. (But, for all I know, you were manning the Greenpeace tent; if that was the case, good for you!)
Second, we have no data to compare Dead Heads to any other crowd (say, Black Sabbath fans...of which I'm sure there was even some overlap), so who's to say they weren't more responsible? The ground after a Dead Show may have been comparatively cleaner than after a different rock concert. The data would have to take into account average number of concession purchases per attendee, venue management (number of trash receptacles and security [what was allowed in]), and historical trends in society's overall awareness of environmental issues over the course of the band's 30+ year history.
Cheers!

Pate's right, at least for the lot.
I think i recounted a story upthread about cleaning up my little zone in the lot and having Bill Graham himself cruise up on his moto and hand me a ticket.
In the late 80's early 90's there was a newsletter- Duprees Diamond News- which not only had recent setlists and upcoming tourdates, but also key things heads could do to ensure the Band would be invited back to town.
What other band did that???
I'll try and dig up an old copy.

Well, well. Looks like there may be at least qualitative data that, for whatever motive, the Dead WERE more environmentally-minded than other bands. Imagine that! ;-)

If you ever talked to the guys who ran the venues and worked in the citys near the venues they will all tell you that the dead fans leave more trash than any other event hands down....
Amazeing how so many of the fans wear rose colored glasses.
Albany the last summer tour from hell. Cops pulled off of horses and stomped, tear gas, bad ju ju in the streets.. This one cute blond and brainless friend of mine, rings on her fingers, bells on her toes,bringing her baby to shows and getting wasted the whole time... She looks at me and proclaims.. Wow.. there was so much love in the streets last week..
I am like, Huh? I saw a ton of husteling, people selling fake tickets to rip off other dead heads,drugs and alchohol abuse on chronic levels, raw sex, violence, crazyness but no love... The dead closed the set on the 2nd night with I fought the law and that felt just about right....

Yep, all of that, too. With a set of shows spanning over 30+ years, everyone is bound to be right. But, tradman, you assumed all Dead Heads were environmentalists, which they weren't... I don't see any hypocrisy. People went to shows and got high. Some of those people were probably environmental activists...and a lot of them weren't. I WOULD bet, though, that a larger percentage of them than in other concert populations have done service work for the environment at some point in their lives. But again, NO DATA! Just opinion based on observation.
For every venue manager who says the Dead were bad, there's one who says they were better than everyone else. "I'd rather work nine Grateful Dead concerts than one Oregon football game," Police Det. Rick Raynor said. "They don't get belligerent like they do at the games." Brock, Ted (1990-06-26). "MORNING BRIEFING: IN OREGON, THEY'RE GRATEFUL FOR ALL EXTRA CASH THEY GET". Los Angeles Times: p. C2.
Weir's been active in recent years for environmental causes and I guess will be doing Earth Day in DC this year along with other invited celebrities. Not proof of anything regarding fans, but a positive thing to note, nonetheless. And an indication of band members' values.
Then there's the Rex Foundation, of course. http://rexfoundation.org/home/social-change/
There's also this interesting article:
(2007-12-09). "COUNTERCULTURE GREEN". The New York Times.
The Whole Earth Catalog, originally published in 1968, had one of the most arresting covers in 20th-century publishing: an image of the Earth as seen from space. The idea for the picture came to Stewart Brand, Whole Earth's publisher, in 1966, when, in the throes of an acid trip, he thought, ''Seeing an image of the earth from space would change a lot of things.'' Brand positioned himself on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, wearing a sandwich board and selling lapel buttons that asked, ''Why haven't we seen a photograph of the whole Earth yet?'' He mailed the buttons to Congress, and legend has it his lobbying goaded NASA into releasing celestial pictures from an Apollo mission.
According to ''Counterculture Green: The Whole Earth Catalog and American Environmentalism,'' by Andrew G. Kirk, the mind-blowing photo of our planet was a catalyst for the ecology movement. The Whole Earth Catalog itself became the voice of a new kind of environmental advocacy that, rather than shunning science as nature's enemy, embraced it as the key that could unlock the door to personal freedom and create a post-scarcity social utopia. Advances like pictures from space, personal computers, geodesic domes and even nuclear power were all part of what became known as the ''appropriate technology movement,'' for which the Whole Earth Catalog was both a resource and a summary. No tree-hugging Luddite or apocalyptic doomsayer, Brand, Kirk writes, had an optimistic outlook shaped by ''a love of good tools, thoughtful technology, scientific inquiry and a Western libertarian skepticism of the government's ability to take the lead in these areas.'' Brand wrote of his own publication, ''This is a book of tools for saving the world at the only scale it can be done, one hand at a time.''
...
That's not to say Brand and his comrades weren't wild and crazy. Brand enthusiastically described the Alloy Gathering in New Mexico in the spring of 1969 as ''outlaws, dope fiends and fanatics.'' They were ''doers primarily, with a functional grimy grasp on the world. World thinkers, dropouts from specialization. Hope freaks.'' Kirk notes that ''from a distance'' the Alloy Gathering might have looked like just another extended hippie party, but inside its domes was ''a remarkable collection of productive appropriate-technology innovators mapping out a tech-friendly environmental ethic decades ahead of its time.'' Among Brand's fellows in the movement were Steve Baer, who had designed the alternative energy structures at the Drop City commune in Colorado; J. Baldwin, the New Age hippie who was a Whole Earth writer and editor and a '''thing-maker, tool-freak and prototyper' for an inventive generation''; John Perry Barlow, a Grateful Dead lyricist and counterculture libertarian who referred to cyberspace as the Electronic Frontier; and Buckminster Fuller, the iconoclastic designer whom Whole Earth introduced ''to a new generation -- promoting him to the status of cult hero.''

400 shows.. thats about $12,000 in admissions. that's one hell of a climbing trip.......
The thing that disturbs me about tour is so many people putting so much time and energy into partying without much return on their investment in the way of bettering themselfs or society.. In 10 shows or less you can learn how to live on the street which is a good perspective to have but not something you want to make a real habbit of..
A climbing bum can also learn to be homeless while getting in superb physical condition and experienceing an amazeing ammout of natural beauty. Meanwhile the deadhead just gets fcked up and listens to the same 150 songs endlessly...
My advice to any young kid with the urge to go on tour is go to a few shows every now and then but save your money, buy an instrument and learn how to make music instead of just listening to it.... YMMV

tradman, I appreciate this sentiment a lot more than passing Dead Heads off as hypocrites.
I've often felt this divide with my parents. They understand the appeal of a community of climbers because they relate it to their experience with the Dead. But, I always felt discomfort at accepting the two experiences as one in the same. As a climber, I always felt so much more productive even though the time commitment, bumming, and unemployment could be similar in both communities.
I think climbing gives me a lot more for my investment. Dead shows are an easy and quick fix comparatively. From there, I can't help but think young people would benefit more from climbing outdoors, choosing their routes...than spending all that time spinning around at Dead shows.
But...as you say, shows also also serve a purpose. :-) I'm not sure if the Dead Heads who didn't have the opportunity to climb are better or worse off for the time they spent at shows. I personally would much rather have more Dead Heads wandering around than not Dead Heads...and climber Dead Heads trump all.

tradman~ you make some valid points but many of your opinions seem to be those of a more casual observer.
Indeed, when climbing took over my life, travelling to shows seemed pointless. I had had enough of cities and crowds... but what a kid can learn about themselves, our country, self reliance, car repair(!)...is priceless. The memories and friends I have from traveling with the Dead will be cherished forever, just like my climbing experiences.
Tour was just a microdot, I mean, microcosm of society in general. Good and bad.
The sweeping generalizations you make about the scene and Heads are kinda lame, but common. Whatever...
At least you dig the music, which was and is what it's all about, for me at least.
Your comment about buying an instrument and playing is right on! My life became much richer when i learned how to play the guitar and comleted my first song, "Loser".
Last fair deal in the country!
Oh, and tickets didn't cost 30 bucks a pop.. not even New Years!!!

Early nintys tickets were 26- 28 but there was always tax and some other fee tacked on by the seller. I budgeted it at $30 when i was being honest with myself.. Unless Pate is a hot chick or a dealer there is no effin way he is getting miricaled.. that sh#t does not happen to guys unless they are the candy man... don't forget the quarters you wasted dialing 1-900 RUN DEAD to find out the date the tickets go on sale so you could do your mail in.. Or the days you wasted sitting on a sidewalk waiting in line to buy tickets..
Seriously unless you are a hot chick or a dealer, tour costs a shitload more money than you think...........
INMOP the tour is a neat semi usefull experience if you get out in time.. There are a lot of pitfalls allong the way that can seriously mess up your life in the long term....

Tradman, everyone comes into the game at whatever level (s)he can find to play it, and runs it out as best (s)he can.
The dude pushing on the cop car suffers from testosterone poisoning, pretty common in young guys. Some of them also happen to be Deadheads. He may have been constrained by so urban a horizon that he never found boulders to climb and wild country to soothe his yearning.
Lucky, lucky second guy. No fault to the limitations of first guy. But certainly an opportunity for first guy if he ever stumbled into a climbing gym or The Gulch.
Met an older chick yesterday whose life was totally changed by a single acid trip in her 20s. Can't speak for the two women in your photo, but this one is in later life a massage therapist so respected and in demand she sometimes works 12 hours in a day.
I never went to that many shows, but the Dead are on my iPod every time I duck into the woods or the mountains. Changed my life as much as the drugs did, as much as the holy stone did.
I grieve the t-shirt I once left on the ground at a show when I ecstatically ripped it from my body in the sunshine. But they -- the combination of the Dead, the Alpine, and the Drugs -- also inspired me to put up the Dark Star.

Pate, what part makes me the moron? the part where i stopped going to shows when jerry died? the part where I questioned the validity of feeling special just because you hang out with a bunch of really cool people and get wasted a bunch, the part where i worried about the future of some of the young folks caught up in it? The part where I figured out that climbing was way cooler than doing drugs at shows? Yes it was a super cool experience if you got off the buss at the right stop. The right stop is deferent for eveyone but I do know a few who missed that stop..
One of the guys I worked with this winter got busted Again for distribution at further in Feb.. dude is way old enough to know better but still riding the same buss......

OK, I have an addiction to electronic music, and it's due to the Dead and Phish.
I'll admit it, I like to fry my brains out and roll my head off ( the latter may not be your guys styles, but whatever.)
The source of my addiction was the Dead in the late 70's, when estimated came out and Donna screamed like the she-banshee that she was. That was growing up. Once I hit adulthood, the Dead were done and I looked for the next-best-thing.
I found it in Phish. In the late 90's, they were HOT! Deep jams, great lights.
I loved it when I was frying and the blue lights came up...magic!!!!
I continued my love of the Dead and Phish for years, until I hit my first rave.
It was DJ Lorin (bassnectar) of Burning Man fame.
I was sober at the show, and it changed my life.
The bass, the...everything.
I'm sure i'm not the first hippie turned raver out there.
It's not about drugs, but at certain times, they are worthy.
I could write for days about this, but I won't.

jerry's soul was exhausted thru several mediums.
poor health was only one of those venues.
in respect for jerry's passage thru our space, and then away from our space, it is not pathetic to recognize the other, more romantic mediums thru which he escaped.
one of those being that he poured out his inspiration for so many years, and so intensely, that he simply spent his chi.
much like other artists who passed thru this life with the gas pedal pegged: hendrix, morrison, cobain, kerouac, bachar, porter, fowler, and many, many others.
to negatively summarize a respectful eulogy for someone's passing is pretty pathetic, tradman.

There is nothing romantic about a rock and roll heart attack. I have lost 2 of my friends this way and it sucks. One of the issues is that fans, in this case dead heads try to justify their own drug habits through their idols. The thing I heard the most when Jerry died was that he shouldn't have gone to rehab. Dude, rehab killed him. He should have kept partying man...
If a few of those people had caught the reality bug and and said to themselfs, Self, you need to clean up and take better care of yourself then Jerry's passing would have done some real good in this world.

Nothing in that statement indicates that it was an overdose.
A lifetime of poor diet and drug and alchohol abuse is what put him in the poor health situation that overcame him. The diabetes was a direct result of poor diet and exersise habbits and compounded by the drug use. That is simple fact.
Annother simple fact is that many dead heads blamed rehab for his death rather than confront the reality of the life decisions that lead to his poor health.

Here's Hartouni's full post that I took that from.

Jaybro, that would be very high praise indeed. Garcia was unbelievably active in music, he seemed to be everywhere, all the time, working on nearly every genre of popular music, even making some music genres popular. A brilliant and accomplished muscian.
I thought when he died that it was more from his hyperactivity then the drug abuse. He just "emptied the tank" and coasted to a stop, too exhausted to find a filling station.
Can't believe it started a minishitstorm. Oh yeah I can.

At first glance it flashed me back to when jerry died and all the heads were in the pool room at Uncle Sams Roadhouse and they were all crying about how he should never have gone to rehab and should have just kept doing the drugs. the same theam was repeted over and over again at the candle light vigils and concert that we held. A few years later the 32yr old bass player from that concert had his own rock and roll heart attack due to kidney failure brought on by alchohol and drug abuse..
Jerry brought a wonderfull light into this world and it was extinguished early due to a chronic lifestyle of drugs, booze and chili dogs.
It gets a bit sad when kids worship the vices of their heros. The music is special but the lifestyle ain't what it's cracked up to be.
Pate is still a liar and a bully.

The Dead Head Thread (OT and Not) drljefe Jun 8, 2010 08:25am 420
Ha, this is where I saw this thread.
My first show was Madison Square Garden, fall of '79. What were my parents thinking, letting me go like that? I traveled the east coast seeing their shows, the last was in Wash. DC in the mid-90s, one of their last.
All sorts of beautiful memories come tumbling out right now.
I was in Boulder when I hear of his death. One of my colleagues mocked my grief and I did tell him to STFU. I went and banged drums that night and very much enjoyed the energy there. It's the one and only time I've been part of a drum circle.

woof. woof.
jerry always had that jenius just beyond his finger tips. he grabbed it, yes and held on tight but the pursuit of which devoured the achievement.
that glorius moment which beckons us onward is still. we ramble on and diesel down and dance around the sun in admirable efforts to be, in that glorious moment. but it is still.
so in our hasty pursuit, we fly right by it, and if we're lucky we sneek a glimpse of that which we pursue and behold it's potential though then we coast on by to beyond the moment because no emotional brakes are strong enough to interrupt the momentum of our glee and, then, we're gone. and we cant find it anymore, because it is still. and we are not.
beyond the moment is grandoise in it's confusion and wonder. we are lost, and all of our screaming dreams are reduced to one, feeble wish, but it whispers and is caught up in the aimless breezes and taken to all places simultaneously but noone hears it except wall street and the boss cannot explain the sudden thousand percent jump in the dow.

I saw the Further crew (bobbi, and phil), in Angels Camp a week ago. Amazing venue, and close to the valley. It was my first Dead show and I was completely blown away. The scene was down and dirty, and there were some roughneck people about. I saw the sunrise all three days. One of the best three day shows iv ever seen. Those people definitely know how to party...

I'm not now nor was I a Dead Head back in the day. I remember debating Workingman's Dead back in high school when it was released, whether or not that represented a step forward or a step backward... since I was a big psychedelic rock fan I missed the interesting direction the Dead were going in... many steps forward.
But when you look at the whole SF rock scene its hard to separate the players into bands... I remember a couple of years later, when a student at UCB, going by the Keystone on University Ave and seeing on the marquee: "Jerry Garcia and Friends" it seemed like it always was happening, so I never saw a performance there, assuming we'd always be able to...
...it was more fun, for me, to travel out to Golden Gate Park and attend a free concert at Speedway Meadow... and I liked the Airplane better, anyway, even though the bands mixed members for these sorts of impromptu performances... maybe it was Grace...
...but I listen to the Dead now, and marvel at their musicality, and especially at the quality of their recordings from back when some truly bad stuff was recorded... and the apparent ease of it all, and the fun.
Hard to be judgmental about the drugs, seems we all had fun with that back then, and paid the bill later in one way or the other. Part of the "thrill of living" when we had these great bodies and minds and anything seemed possible. Unfortunately we turned a deaf ear to the wisdom of our elders, "you don't need to experience everything, especially if you know what's likely to happen."
Who can regret the indiscretions of youth?

A rare and different tune...
Ed, cool. You must be familiar with the PERRO recordings and Wally Heider Studios and that whole scene. The "cross polination" that has always seemed to exist in the Bay Area music scene is really cool.
I'm not able to provide a link right now, but a great, widely circulated bootleg of Garcia, Grisman, And Tony Rice was eventually released officially as the "Pizza Tapes".
Legend has it that a delivery guy lifted one of the masters of the guys pickin an grinnin on a boat in Sausilito. Great stuff with some funny interludes. Check it out!

Nice! I dig Perro tapes.
An aside, I just saw Govt Mule last weekend and Warren is still crushing it! His Sat night set was almost all covers, done VERY well! I got to go backstage and hang out in the sound trailer at the end of the show, it was really cool to see how those guys make it happen behind the scenes, even if I was a little, um, nevermind.
Also saw Allison Krauss, Spearhead, Levon Helms, Derek Trucks,Les Claypool,Sam Bush, Steve Earle, many others. Such a worthwhile roadtrip.
Any east coasters should check out Mountain Jam next year.
Now I've got to get ready for Nateva Festival (sick!), Gathering of the Vibes, and Black Rock City. It's going to be a long, strange summer.

Mick K,
Yes there is bouldering in Morrison south of Red Rocks. Take State Route 26
past R.R. Amphitheater into the town of Morrison. At the stop light take a left and park on the right near the end of town next to the creek. Morrison Wall is above the road opposite the parking. The Black Hole, Wisdom Simulator, Lobby Area (Warm-up Wall), Hairy Scary Wall, Sailor's Delight, Cockpit, 5.8 Boulder, Tree Slab, Magnum Wall, Spike Rock, Bowling Ball Wall and Nautilus Wall are all found in this area.
Morrison South Side is 0.2 miles out of town then right on Soda Lakes Road and tends to be less crowded. Many problems will be found in this area.
Check out Philip Benningfield's "Colorado Bouldering" for complete details.
Kind of dated compared to some more recent publications.

Ain't no doubt about it, that Hunter sure can hunt the lyrics. And when Garcia put 'em to music, look at what happened. So many melodies, so many awesome visuals through the combos.
I head some dude say once "Yeah, that's all we need, another tune about women in the summer..." As if the only image the Dead ever sung about was Sugar Mag. Still, that's not a bad image (women, in the summer), but just a simple lyric...
Crimson white and indigo ...
sung by Jerry, and it feels like a barn door opening and closing at the same time.

The working relationship between Hunter and Garcia is truly unique, amazing and beautiful.
I'm on a Crazyfingers kick right now...probably because it's finally raining here in Tucson.
And if anyone is curious about all the allusions, references and imagery in Hunter's lyrics(and Barlow's for that matter), check out The Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics site~ a UC Santa Cruz.edu page I think. Cool stuff.

The Occasion of this day reminds me of where i was fifteen years ago today; climbing the harding route on Keeler needle. We made some Jerry birthday jokes, and a little over a week later, he was gone.
The week following his death I saw both Lyle Lovett and B.B. King in Reno, Lyle started out with friend of the devil, B.B. worked a tribute into stormy Monday, ~" and then came Wednesday(?)"the day that made us all so sad..."
Somewhere in there a blue grass band played at that big park with the arboreutum as part of the ORCA show and played 'Friend' as a tribue.

If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise
If you go down to the woods today
You better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
Lyrics by JG.
Happy Birthday, Brother.

Went to see the captain, strangest I could find . . . laid my proposition down, laid it on the line.
I won't slave for beggars pay, likewise gold and jewels . . .
But I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools.
Saw your first ship sink and drown from rocking of the boat . . .
All that could not sink or swim was just left there to float.
I won't leave you drifting down but oh it makes me wild, with thirty years upon my head, to have you call me child.
The bottles stand as empty, as they were filled before.
Time there was and plenty, but from that cup no more.
Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few . . .
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools.

Fare you well my honey
Fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you alone
Goin to leave this Broke-down Palace
On my hands and my knees I will roll roll roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time - in my time - I will roll roll roll
In a bed, in a bed
by the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul
River gonna take me
Sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy
all the way back back home
It's a far gone lullaby
sung many years ago
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come
since I first left home
Goin home, goin home
by the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul
Goin to plant a weeping willow
On the banks green edge it will grow grow grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go - the river roll roll roll
Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul

my body is a machine.
with few purposes:
to deliver my open mind up and down and across the absurd landscapes of our plain,
to harbor and process the adventurous toxins,
and to coach itself back to strong, enduring the challenges posed of said toxins.
my body is merely a medium of transport for my mind.
as such, i will exploit it unto the exhaustions.

Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know,
See how it feels in the end.
May Lady Lullaby sing plainly for you . . . soft, strong, sweet and true.
Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow, tapping at the window, touch your hair . . . So swift and bright strange figures of light float in air.
Gone are the days we stopped to decide where we should go, we just ride.
Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams . . . gone, both dream and lie.
Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know . . . feels like it might be all right . . .
While Lady Lullaby sings plainly through you, Love still rings true . . .
Midnight on a carousel ride, reaching for the gold ring, down inside . . .
Never could reach it, just slips away but I try.

Hey heads, and appreciators of fine improvisational jamming~
Check out the tryptic of Lovelight>GDTRFB>Not Fade Away
from disc 2 of Steppin Out~ London '72.
Out of Lovelight an epic battle ensues, with Jerry finally prevailing. The musical conversation and struggle is plain to hear, and the results are nothing short of HOT! One for the ages.
Goin where the climate suits my clothes...

One time when they were making things "perfect," Lesh decided to tell a joke.
"A funny thing happened to me on the way to the gig this evening ...
...
...
I got picked up."
DaDump.
For the closing of Winterland, my buddy Matt & I decided to walk to the show the night before and get in line early so we could get good seats (Winterland was a smallish joint with a ring of seats above the dance floor below).
We got to Post & Steiner at about 10pm on Dec 30. Little did we know, the line started 3 days earlier and was already wrapped around the building. I went across the street and slept on a small patch of grass, then foolishly spent the day in line. Early in the morning, Bill pulls up in his Harley with the side car to greet all the heads. Although known as a arse, Bill was a great guy. On the side of the building, Bill had painted the famous phrase: "They not the best at what they do, they're the only ones that do what they do."
In the end it didn't make a dime's worth of difference what time I arrived at the show--At midnight, I was sprawled out on the seats in the back of the auditorium, trying to catch some shut eye before the band came on. An angle (my old GF) spotted me and gave me a magic potion that gave me the energy to dance the night away. Ho boy, that third set...and then breakfast at dawn.
Anything funny happen to you on the way the show?

Pate,
How about that Sugar Magnolia-Sugaree opener on the first night at Laguna Seca in 1987? I got my money's worth right then and there! What an awesome venue. Ry Cooder's "Chain Gang" was something else.
Nice mile high club story . . . was it right in the seats?

I was there too, 88.
I had driven from Az to Minnesota helping a family member move. Payment was a one way ticket to the Bay.
My oldest friend, who wasn't a Head, picked me up and whisked me off to the lovely confines of his granny's Pebble Beach Estate. I'm talkin' old ass money. I woke up in the morning to a servant telling me breakfast was served. Then it was off to the dusty ,barefoot dancin, sun soaked scene.
How was El Rayo X...Classic!
Two words~ Goony Bird.
Going back to the mansion was a trip for sure.
I remember not being able to figure out the shower. Classic, right, the dirty hippie who can't work a shower! Well the hot and cold knobs were these ornate wings(for real, not Goony Bird wings). I scalded, I froze. In the end I got clean and repeated the process for the next two days.
That set with the China Crazyfingers Rider was a hot one. The Playin' is unreal~ oldschool style.
Good times pate, thanks for spurring on some fun funny memories!

That pic with the SG is amazing....
I have copies of a set of slides a friend of mine had from '68 or so. Garcia has this Anthem tee shirt on, also playing an SG. The only thing, the band's out of focus in all the shots...at first I chalked it up to bad lighting, but then I noticed that the lettering on all the amps are in perfect focus...too funny, I bet the band 'looked' in focus through the eye of the photographer for those shots. Also too bad, they would be priceless if they were in focus. (I wish I knew how to scan slides.)

Pate, great flight story, I wish my ride to L.Seca was as insane. Instead, I went with my pal Tom, who told me his car had a tendency to overheat. When it started, he had to turn on the heater to cool the engine. There we were, baking in 100-degree heat with the heater going full force.
Damn if I could remember a song list though....
Although, one of my most memorable shows was at the Swing in '77 when the band broke out Lady with a Fan. Opened the show with it, in fact. Yikes, that was awkward for a moment, the whole building kinda swirled around Phil's bass line, and these benos next to me were high as kites on reds, shouting in slow motion "Hey Garcia, play one for my sister..." Ah, what a year.

In '77 Jerry was really excited about his new tune, and when he played Terrapin, he's actually do Pete Townsend-style windmills with is arm. I think he even jumped once.

Thanks for the bump, now go climb some mud will ya!
Just thinkin' about the road, finding fun in the uncertainty, knowing that when you reached the next city there'd be familiarity.
Things we've never seen will seem familiar...
Most of all, thinking about Garcia and the sound of his voice and guitar.
Those sounds have soothed my soul since I was knee high to a snake dick.
I miss Jerry. Just knowing that whatever the season I could drop everything and go...
Shine on, keep on shining!

Owsley, 44 years today,
Liner notes for Rare Cuts and Oddities.
1966.
Year of the Fire Horse, a year said by the Chinese to be very unique, full of interesting, even disruptive events.
For me it was very much a unique and strange year. I met Grateful Dead that year and became their soundman. Of all the interesting and wonderful things that I have had an opportunity to do in my life so far, it ranks at the very top of the list. The Dead were young and raw, full of a special kind of energy. They had been a band for only about 6 months and most of their repertoire was covers- but what an eclectic and odd bunch of covers they were. I don't think there has ever been anything quite like them, before or since.
At the time I volunteered to be soundman there was no such thing as a dedicated music PA. Musicians either plugged their mic into their guitar amp, or used whatever was at the venue, usually nothing, but sometimes a church or stadium or small theatre might furnish the venue, and there was something. Most bands did not have soundmen anyway. I decided that we had to build a real system to furnish good sound. I asked a friend, Tim Scully who was heavy into electronics to come aboard and help us, He designed a central preamp and distribution system for all the instruments as well as the vocal channel, and we used McIntosh HiFi amps to power Voice of the Theatre speakers. At first the actual vocal system was my home Hi Fi, which happened to be Voice of the Theatre. At the time there were only really three kinds fo PA systems all primarily used for voice rather than music- there were small systems in churches, and in movie theatres, lastly in large baseball and basketball stadiums. Needless to say, they did no have either the power handling capability or the frequency range needed. The PA became a long term project which would lead over the years to such innovations as the Wall of Sound, and the founding of Meyer Sound Laboratories. The instrument struggles would lead to the creation of Alembic Guitars.
At the time, however the band were playing their instruments through this weird unitized system which was very horn heavy- each speaker setup had a bass cabinet and a small HF horn. The sound was thick and 'horny', which was (and is) like nothing else. Garcia at that time preferred a hollow body Gibson electric and coupled with the speakers it has a sound I have never heard any other guitars make. All this is very apparent on the tracks on this CD. For a while we had a bass augmentation speaker, called a 'Superbass', which we hooked up to Phil. it had an 18" dual voice coil Electrovoice speaker on the bottom pointing down and had passive moving sides made of stiffened styrofoam. We all felt this gadget made a huge effect putting out ultralow frequencies, but it may just have been our imagination- no one saved the box for us to measure later on when we got to the stage we were doing that sort of thing. We may have literally used it up, wore it out, it was intended for the living room Hi Fi..... In the beginning we were hanging on to what seemed like a rocket sled, everything needed work and no-one knew much about what to do. But we were determined to bring R&R music technology into the modern age.
From the very beginning I felt I needed to keep a record of what I was doing as I mixed the PA. I used a stereo reel to reel recorder with the (mono) PA signal in the left channel, principally vocals and drums and a few instruments, with the instruments which were not in the PA- that is, most of them- in the right. The PA was flat out just managing he drums and vocals in those early days. This resembled the Beatles first 'stereo' record, and had a lot of 'space' or 3d effect. I later had to put the vocals into both channels because, as the band started to listen more and more to my tapes, they wanted it to sound more 'conventional'. But panning the vocals destroys most of the space, unfortunately. Floor or ear monitors were still in the future, so the band had trouble keeping the vocals tight and together, and like most young bands, had a distinct habit of rushing the beat, both of which are evident on the tracks. But in my opinion the sound they made in those early days was very special and I am glad my oldest sonic journals have survived this long, so people who have come along recently can hear the sound which captivated my heart and soul close to forty years ago.

On Psychedelics
There has been a trip taken by many people over a number of years, starting in the 1960's. It is a trip to renew our connection with the planet we live on and its lifeforms. It seemed as though this journey was a natural and important one for our survival and the survival of the world as our home. We thought of ourselves as exploring new ways of looking at the universe, but as it turns out, the adventure is almost as old as man himself.
One of the ideas that developed throughout this period was that the psychedelics (I still feel most comfortable with this old term coined by Humphrey Osmund) were some sort important hormone -like substance which was necessary to the human race, like the various hormones which the body produces within its structure. Unlike these hormones, there are others, perhaps you could call them "planetary hormones" which the plant world produces for the use of animals, and are part of the Gaia or conciousness of the biomass of the whole planet. Healing plants are part of this category. The ones which alter our state and perception of the universe around us are no less important to our development as enlightened entities than those which heal our bodies. Research into the ethnobotanical practices of indigenous peoples around the world show that only the "modern" or western (ie. ours) cultures place any opprobrium on the use of these plants. In fact only the "west" is in the business of trampling on the environment with out regard for the conciousness of the whole or of its importance to us as a part of it. Indigenees almost universally hold that the planet is something alive and that their role is as the protectors of that life. The concept of "owning" the land is nearly impossible for these people to grasp.
I thought that we might just survive and the planet with us if we could manage to get enough people to experience the view which the psychedelics sacraments give. I know that some of you who will read this will object to the term sacrament, but the word is completely appropriate. With the advent of Christianity sacrament has come to be divested of the old meaning and to assume a more ephemeral definition. The magical plants used by folks for tens of thousands of years have been for the most part forgotten. People need to alter their perception of the world around them, in fact it seems to be something done by all animals. In the west there is only two permitted options Alcohol and tobacco. I'm not going to belabor the point, but this "choice" is not something which leads in any way to higher ground.
Shamanism and the use of plants to alter conciousness has a long and respected history in the development of human society. Today it is still found in parts of the world, coexisting with the modern forms of accepted religious activity. In fact, in places like the remote areas of Mexico some of the old ways are openly part of the worship rituals of the Catholic church. Not usually the plants, but the Native American Church in the US has certainly achieved a synthesis of sacred plant use and a form of Christianity. Perhaps this (the inclusion of aspects of Christianity) was necessary to be accepted as a real religion, although that seems odd, the scientologists have succeeded in having their organization accepted as a "church", and it has nothing even remotely suggestive of a spiritual nature about it. Or perhaps it's to do with the fact that the people are the dispossessed Indigenees of a land of colonial immigrants. Or with the fact that they are using the plants.
Today the followers of the Grateful Dead have been preyed upon by law enforcement at many of the venues the Dead visited. They could not peacefully practice what is to them a true religious practice without persecution. I guess it'd be the modern version of feeding Christians to the lions practiced by the government of Rome a couple of thousand years ago. So much for the rhetoric of "freedom of religion", so oft repeated nowadays. So what if the psychedelic of choice is LSD rather than peyote? Is it OK to eat peyote if you are a native American indigenee but not if you are a white or black or other native of America? Since when is there any difference? Why should there be some sort of barrier to joining any religious group? There is only one answer: you are not allowed to be different, to think original thoughts, to act as if you were really free. You are not supposed to experience the world in any way differently to the way those in power wish you to.
It is a fairly modern turn which has led us to this point in time. Plants have only in recent times been unlawful. Although there have been reactions to the introduction of various kinds of psychically active plants into social use...coffee caused a bit of a stir when it was first introduced, as was chocolate. Still, the prohibition movement is a phenomenon of this century. First the war against alcohol, which failed to successfully introduce laws through Congress outlawing booze (the Supreme Court declared that Congress didn't have the authority to do that), succeeded in pushing through an amendment to the Constitution. This was a terrible mistake, and the country still has a powerful Mafia as a direct result of the huge "money for nothing" fees people paid to have access to the drinks they wanted. Even the Volstead amendment didn't criminalize use or possession.
With the repeal, those used to the easy money, having acquired money and therefore power, set about to have introduced new laws which would recreate the money tree. This time they were able, by claiming that the drugs represented a "health and safety" problem, to get passed and approved by the court laws outlawing a variety of plant derived drugs from cannabis to coca and opiates. The inclusion of cannabis may have been the desire of certain industrialists to limit the competition hemp fibers presented to the emerging synthetic fiber industry. Funny thing the court actually said that a tax stamp created with the express intent of never being issued, therefore a defacto prohibition was constitutional! Harmless and joyful cannabis, the wonderful plant which has adapted itself so completely to the service of man, was depicted as a Killer of Youth, Creater of Madness, with all the power of a popular press in the full vigor of its prime. Whether Hearst was paid off to do this, or just thought that anything sensational enough to sell newspapers was ok, will probably never be known.
Today we are seeing a more moderate approach to the hemp matter. People are rediscovering all the uses to which this plant can be put, from making paint to paper. Still there is a weird aversion to the medicinal and recreational values so celebrated throughout history until recent times. "Drug free" strains are touted for the production of fiber and oilseed. What a load of nonsense, as if the conventional recreational drugs were safe and desirable? Even the opiates wouldn't be much of a problem if they weren't illegal, forcing a myriad of eager dealers into the streets for the money for nothing of the black market created by the laws.
Society should never intentionally create a black market. All black markets are a danger to the community due to the lack of controls and the high delivery fees that they force on the delivery system. Likewise there is a huge loss in revenue to the normal flow of commerce through the community. The amounts of money available leads to the inevitable corruption of all who attempt to interfere in the flow of goods in this black market. Black markets made fortunes to the entrepreneurs of the world wars. Tires, fuel and meat made fortunes for those who could divert supplies to their clients. Anything can be a black market. The only thing required is scarcity, or illegality, and a demand for the items.
The use of psychedelics as a part of the religious experience has forced literally hundreds of thousands of otherwise law abiding people into the black market for their supplies. Due to the dangers and costs many have had to turn to dealing to gain access. Within a community which is devoted to the ingestion of these sacred substances there are many who feel that it is a noble calling to be the source for their friends and fellow worshippers. Hold on, some may say, what about those who are merely thrill seekers? Well, maybe the first time a person uses LSD or the other entheogens, they may be motivated by such a motive. The nature of the experience is that of a profound union with the universal mind. This takes place over time, at first things happen one way, then they change with further trips.
The term, "War on Drugs" is a non sequitur. There cannot be a war on anything except people. The question is, why does the government want to wage a war against its own people%

The ones which alter our state and perception of the universe around us are no less important to our development as enlightened entities than those which heal our bodies. Research into the ethnobotanical practices of indigenous peoples around the world show that only the "modern" or western (ie. ours) cultures place any opprobrium on the use of these plants. In fact only the "west" is in the business of trampling on the environment with out regard for the conciousness of the whole or of its importance to us as a part of it. Indigenees almost universally hold that the planet is something alive and that their role is as the protectors of that life. The concept of "owning" the land is nearly impossible for these people to grasp.
I thought that we might just survive and the planet with us if we could manage to get enough people to experience the view which the psychedelics sacraments give. I know that some of you who will read this will object to the term sacrament, but the word is completely appropriate. With the advent of Christianity sacrament has come to be divested of the old meaning and to assume a more ephemeral definition. The magical plants used by folks for tens of thousands of years have been for the most part forgotten. People need to alter their perception of the world around them, in fact it seems to be something done by all animals. In the west there is only two permitted options Alcohol and tobacco. I'm not going to belabor the point, but this "choice" is not something which leads in any way to higher ground.
Shamanism and the use of plants to alter conciousness has a long and respected history in the development of human society. Today it is still found in parts of the world, coexisting with the modern forms of accepted religious activity. In fact, in places like the remote areas of Mexico some of the old ways are openly part of the worship rituals of the Catholic church. Not usually the plants, but the Native American Church in the US has certainly achieved a synthesis of sacred plant use and a form of Christianity. Perhaps this (the inclusion of aspects of Christianity) was necessary to be accepted as a real religion, although that seems odd, the scientologists have succeeded in having their organization accepted as a "church", and it has nothing even remotely suggestive of a spiritual nature about it. Or perhaps it's to do with the fact that the people are the dispossessed Indigenees of a land of colonial immigrants. Or with the fact that they are using the plants.
Today the followers of the Grateful Dead have been preyed upon by law enforcement at many of the venues the Dead visited. They could not peacefully practice what is to them a true religious practice without persecution. I guess it'd be the modern version of feeding Christians to the lions practiced by the government of Rome a couple of thousand years ago. So much for the rhetoric of "freedom of religion", so oft repeated nowadays. So what if the psychedelic of choice is LSD rather than peyote? Is it OK to eat peyote if you are a native American indigenee but not if you are a white or black or other native of America? Since when is there any difference? Why should there be some sort of barrier to joining any religious group? There is only one answer: you are not allowed to be different, to think original thoughts, to act as if you were really free. You are not supposed to experience the world in any way differently to the way those in power wish you to.
It is a fairly modern turn which has led us to this point in time. Plants have only in recent times been unlawful. Although there have been reactions to the introduction of various kinds of psychically active plants into social use...coffee caused a bit of a stir when it was first introduced, as was chocolate. Still, the prohibition movement is a phenomenon of this century. First the war against alcohol, which failed to successfully introduce laws through Congress outlawing booze (the Supreme Court declared that Congress didn't have the authority to do that), succeeded in pushing through an amendment to the Constitution. This was a terrible mistake, and the country still has a powerful Mafia as a direct result of the huge "money for nothing" fees people paid to have access to the drinks they wanted. Even the Volstead amendment didn't criminalize use or possession.
With the repeal, those used to the easy money, having acquired money and therefore power, set about to have introduced new laws which would recreate the money tree. This time they were able, by claiming that the drugs represented a "health and safety" problem, to get passed and approved by the court laws outlawing a variety of plant derived drugs from cannabis to coca and opiates. The inclusion of cannabis may have been the desire of certain industrialists to limit the competition hemp fibers presented to the emerging synthetic fiber industry. Funny thing the court actually said that a tax stamp created with the express intent of never being issued, therefore a defacto prohibition was constitutional! Harmless and joyful cannabis, the wonderful plant which has adapted itself so completely to the service of man, was depicted as a Killer of Youth, Creater of Madness, with all the power of a popular press in the full vigor of its prime. Whether Hearst was paid off to do this, or just thought that anything sensational enough to sell newspapers was ok, will probably never be known.
Today we are seeing a more moderate approach to the hemp matter. People are rediscovering all the uses to which this plant can be put, from making paint to paper. Still there is a weird aversion to the medicinal and recreational values so celebrated throughout history until recent times. "Drug free" strains are touted for the production of fiber and oilseed. What a load of nonsense, as if the conventional recreational drugs were safe and desirable? Even the opiates wouldn't be much of a problem if they weren't illegal, forcing a myriad of eager dealers into the streets for the money for nothing of the black market created by the laws.
Society should never intentionally create a black market. All black markets are a danger to the community due to the lack of controls and the high delivery fees that they force on the delivery system. Likewise there is a huge loss in revenue to the normal flow of commerce through the community. The amounts of money available leads to the inevitable corruption of all who attempt to interfere in the flow of goods in this black market. Black markets made fortunes to the entrepreneurs of the world wars. Tires, fuel and meat made fortunes for those who could divert supplies to their clients. Anything can be a black market. The only thing required is scarcity, or illegality, and a demand for the items.
The use of psychedelics as a part of the religious experience has forced literally hundreds of thousands of otherwise law abiding people into the black market for their supplies. Due to the dangers and costs many have had to turn to dealing to gain access. Within a community which is devoted to the ingestion of these sacred substances there are many who feel that it is a noble calling to be the source for their friends and fellow worshippers. Hold on, some may say, what about those who are merely thrill seekers? Well, maybe the first time a person uses LSD or the other entheogens, they may be motivated by such a motive. The nature of the experience is that of a profound union with the universal mind. This takes place over time, at first things happen one way, then they change with further trips.
The term, "War on Drugs" is a non sequitur. There cannot be a war on anything except people. The question is, why does the government want to wage a war against its own people? The simple principle of harm reduction dictates that all drugs should cease to be illegal. Very few people would become junkies without someone on the street corner offering it to them, with the added attraction to the young of defying authority. Likewise the widespread belief that advertising is a form of speech which should be protected, and therefore unregulated, is wrong. Advertising is a form of coercive behavior, directed at producing a response without regard to the real merits involved, as long as there is a profitable result for the advertiser. This has nothing to do with the value to the individual or to the community. Tobacco is an excellent example. Joe Camel has been implicated in the early commencement of tobacco use by children. Why advertise tobacco? Any one would not have any trouble knowing about the stuff as long as it was available. No coercion can be intelligently defended.
As well, what about the ads "You can win a million" promulgated by the usually government run lottos? Anyone with any knowledge of gambling knows that the odds against winning are around 50 million to one. You are far more likely to be struck by lightning, or even a meteorite than to pick the winner in a lotto. But the ads imply that it's easy...not one word about the odds. Somebody has to win, I hear it said, but the roll over to super jackpots should put paid to that one. Even so, it's the people least likely to afford it that wind up pouring their money into it in the vain hope of being the lucky one. I don't think such things should be outlawed, people want to gamble, take drugs, smoke tobacco and/or pot, and they should not have these activities criminalized. But neither should they be the subject of advertising.
The US Constitution directs the government to "provide for the general welfare" illegality of drugs creates a health and welfare crisis of immense dimensions. Unknown dosages, unknown composition, contamination both chemical and biological. Death and disease are the direct result of the laws, not the use of various drugs. So far as I know the Supreme Court has never ruled as to whether the laws on drugs violate the powers given to congress. Judging on the basis of the Volstead Act, it would appear that they should throw the lot out. But there is no mechanism whereby a case may be forced to the attention of the court. Perhaps in the current climate of illogic, where a kid who introduces a couple of people he knew, one who grew, and one who sold marijuana, can be given life in prison, although he didn't see the weed nor share in any monies, the electorate might pass an amendment to the constitution to continue the insanity.

I always liked the symbolism in New Speedway Boogie; as with most Grateful Dead lyrics there are numerous angles, nuances and facets that lend themselves to many applications and interpretations. The life drama is constantly being played out aurally, physically, suggestively and visually. This is part of the strong allure and mysticism of the music.
Coincidence . ? . I think not!

Example:
To Lay Me Down
Not the most popular Dead tune, but he put his soul in it.
I wish I could find a link to the original studio version, because if you listen close, the notes that he hit in the last few measures were really beautiful.
But this version will do, it's a good one.

I thought Brett was pretty lame. Very lame actually.
You don't know sh!t about the Dead until you've heard Keith lead Jerry into the deep and dark where Jerry could really do his thing.
Having Vince show up was a welcome relief, especially after he went through the intership with Bruce.
But Brett? NF way. Tinkle tinkle tinkle went the plastic piano. Whah whah whah went the Hammond organism. 12 years of the Dead -- pfft. Toast. A sonic wasteland struggling to uphold a vague tradition.
All my boards end in February 1979. The Vince RTs have some of the goods but Vince AUDs are pretty lame, what with all the faux tripping going on.

To each his own...
Didn't much care for Vince myself.
And Keith, well he brought along Donna.
Each player in the "hotseat" had his ups and downs.
Too bad Vince went all fatal attraction on the band after Jerry died, and then the way he chose to leave the planet...truly horrific.
One of my favorite 'mini eras' was in 73 when Donna was out prego and Mickey was gone.
Pretty much a stripped down, well tuned 5 piece.
Check the Garden shows.

Yeah, the Vince exit was pretty sorry.
Brett could get to some high places but it came at the expense of some weak first set material and overwrought 2nd set closers. Bobby's choice of new material during that time was pretty questionable as well. When I cycle through Brett-years DPs, RTs and vault releases I'm always feeling the "this is good but not great", and when they were great, they were beyond.
For my money (and many others) they were firing on all cylinders as a big lineup in May 1977. All 7 of them. Even Donna fit in so nicely on numerous outings during that month.
The turn-on-a-dime lineup in 73 and 74 was pretty impressive, especially considering how consistanly huge they went and how clean the sound was.
There was never a deadicated lineup of 4, but there was some pretty incredible material that came out when it was only the core of four on stage. 71 and maybe 73 come to mind.

I personally love the years when Garcia played with a clean sound. That ol' Travis Bean--love it! Later, he started to put a lot of effects into the loop, perhaps he could be "messier" that way.
And yeah, one month in '77...or a couple of runs here, or there. Shucks, we all have our favorites.
I'll have to dig through some stuff, but I believe there were a few shows where Pig wasn't feeling so well and Mickey was absent ... Still, when they were the quintet, they Blasted! Certainly some of my favorite stuff.
I put in the latest Road Trips today (from '80). So far it's been a rough listen. & the DP with Vince? woah.

it's breNt dammit. BRENT.
N.
...and I dug Brent. Jerry liked him too, you could see it. He added energy, a killer voice, songwriting. Loved that guy. Saw his last show in fact.
I was skateboarding down the street in Milwaukee in full deadhed regalia, after the last show of the tour. Someone shouted from a passing car that a member of the Dead had died. Bummer day.
Luckily I made it home with more money than I left with! Left a few braincells along the way though! Woohoo! Good times.

http://io9.com/5661561/exploding-dark-stars-could-be-the-answer-to-the-universes-accounting-problem
Dark stars are something of a misnomer - unlike dark matter particles, they would be visible and actually quite bright because they would still mostly be made of regular matter. In fact, the dark stars would have been the brightest bodies in the young universe, as the constant annihilation of dark matter particles would release massive amounts of energy. The star would burn through its dark matter nucleus very quickly, and then a new nucleus of normal matter would form, starting up the more familiar nuclear fusion process inside the star. It's possible these former dark matter stars are still around in the modern universe.

"Doin' That Rag"
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia
Copyright Ice Nine Publishing; used by permission
Sitting in Mangrove Valley chasing lightbeams
Everything wanders from baby to Z
Baby, baby, pretty, young on Tuesday
Old like a rum drinking demon at tea
Baby, baby, tell me what's the matter
Why, why tell me, what's your why now?
Tell me why will you never come home?
Tell me what's your reason if you got a good one
Everywhere I go
The people all know
Everyone's doin' that rag
Take my line go fishing for a Tuesday
Maybe take my supper, eat it down by the sea
Gave my baby twenty, forty good reasons
Couldn't find any better ones in the morning at three
Rain gonna come but the rain gonna go, you know
Stepping off sharply from the rank and file
Awful cold and dark like a dungeon
Maybe get a little bit darker 'fore the day
Hipsters, tripsters,
real cool chicks, sir,
everyone's doin' that rag
You needn't gild the lily, offer jewels to the sunset
No one is watching or standing in your shoes
Wash your lonely feet in the river in the morning
Everything promised is delivered to you
Don't neglect to pick up what your share is
All the winter birds are winging home now
Hey Love, go and look around you
Nothing out there you haven't seen before now
But you can wade in the water
and never get wet
if you keep on doin' that rag
One eyed jacks and the deuces are wild
The aces are crawling up and down your sleeve
Come back here, Baby Louise,
and tell me the name
of the game that you play
Is it all fall down?
Is it all go under?
Is it all fall down, down, down
Is it all go under?
Everywhere I go
the people all know
everybody's doin' that rag

I saw the Dead and the New Riders of the Purple Sage at Pauley Pavilion in 72. The girl I went with loved the Dead so much, she found a way to get back stage. Being the passionate, frisky girl she was, somehow an incident happened in the bathroom that got the band in some trouble with UCLA, I never knew until just recently that it became a rather infamous incident in the bands history.

@Can't Say, I heard about that Poly Pavilion escapade, funny. A good friend of mine was in the front center for that show. I'm not sure it was good for him. {wink}
I just listened to the first disc of Dick's Pix #26, 4/26/69. This is a couple of months after the wonderful (Live/Dead) Filmore West shows. Truly the Dead showing off their turn-on-a-dime charms, many cool song changes--check this out if you can. [The second set isn't quite so hot, seems the Electric Theater was juicing the band a bit.]
And...
Hooray!! for the Swing!! Whoa, that long ago, eh? Jeeze...
The place was pretty small. My cousin and a couple of his friends were visiting us from Chile and we all got tix. I think that was actually my first "enhanced" show, I remember feeling pretty good. And my cousin? What can I say, they were no innocents. But they were unprepared for what took place.
I'd followed the Dead pretty tight, and knew their song lists. So when they opened with Lady with a Fan, whoa, the hole place seemed to lift up off the ground a bit. Lesh's base line just sounded so unusual, unlike anything we'd heard before. And the inter-twining of the guitars, the magic was complete. Garcia was so excited about his new tune, and I'd never seen it before (or since), but he actually was doing Townsend-style windmills with his picking hand. Garcia: how I like to remember him, black hair, black beard.
There were these two chicanos right next to me. We were dead center, about 5 or 6 folks back from the stage. These chicanos, they were stoned to the gills, on reds was my guess. Anyway, the guy right next to me would shout in between the songs "Hey Garcia!" (imagine Cheech's accent, but toasted on reds), "Garcia, play one for my sister. Hey Garcia." He wouldn't stop. I had a hard time not laughing, but I found it pretty funny.
When they broke out Estimated Prophet, I literally thought the room was spinning, slowly. Now that is one F'ed up bass line!, and Wier's guitar.
My oh my, my poor cousin.

My buddy raves about a flick he once saw titled Sunshine Daydream, it documents a '72 show set in Oregon. Odd, there's just not that many films of earlier GD shows. For some reason this film was never officially released (copyrights?).
Anyway, he told me you could find segments of the film on YouTube. Here's the China Cat Sunflower.
Wow, what a time, what a place. I love the early days when Garcia played with a clean, Strat sound... Here, a Sunburst Stratocaster, never seen that one before.
Ah... Jack Straw

hey there say, the warbler....
as to your quote:
Spring, 1973, I was walking from Camp 4 out into the meadow to with Mark Chapman. We had guitars in hand, and I was going to show him some chords as I had a bit more time on the fretboard than he.
Well, a white sheet of paper came blowing through the tall green grass and crossed our path. Thinking it to be litter, I picked it up, and was pleased to find the words and chords to "Ripple" there for our music lesson
wow, how cool, a very nice chapman thread, thanks for the share... :)

The great thing about music is that it lives on forever, long after the players are dead and gone.
And the unfortunate thing for Randy is that he'll have to die, one day, and when he arrives in heaven( or wherever) guess what...the Boys'll be there pickin an grinnin. Not to mention drum circles, patchouli, etc,etc.
The music never stopped!

Attics of my Life
Lyrics By: Robert Hunter
Music By: Jerry Garcia
"In the attics of my life, full of cloudy dreams unreal.
Full of tastes no tongue can know, and lights no eyes can see.
When there was no ear to hear, you sang to me.
I have spent my life seeking all that's still unsung.
Bent my ear to hear the tune, and closed my eyes to see.
When there was no strings to play, you played to me.
In the book of love's own dream, where all the print is blood.
Where all the pages are my days, and all the lights grow old.
When I had no wings to fly, you flew to me, you flew to me.
In the secret space of dreams, where I dreaming lay amazed.
When the secrets all are told, and the petals all unfold.
When there was no dream of mine, you dreamed of me."
They did not get the memo Jefe, they cannot see beyond their own self importance. Heaven help the fool.

I explained that he must have bought that stealie from my bro and that it was a reissue of a sticker he used to sell on tour in the early 80s.
He invited us in for a smoke, I tuned his guitar, and busted a little Loser >I Know You Rider.

"Cosmic Charley" Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia
Copyright Ice Nine Publishing; used by permission.
"Cosmic Charley how do you do?
Truckin' in style along the avenue
Dumdeedumdee doodley doo
Go on home, your mama's calling you
Calico Kahlia come tell me the news
Calamity's waiting for a way to get to her
Rosy red and electric blue
I bought you a paddle for your paper canoe
Say you'll come back when you can
Whenever your airplane happens to land
Maybe I'll be back here too
It all depends on what's with you
Hung up waitin for a windy day
Kite on ice since the first of February
Mama Bee saying that the wind might blow
But standin here I say I just don't know
New ones comin as the old ones go
Everything's movin here but much too slowly
Little bit quicker and we might have time
to say 'how do you do?" before we're left behind
Calliope wail like a seaside zoo
The very last lately inquired about you
It's really very one or two
The first you wanted, the last I knew
I just wonder if you shouldn't feel
less concern about the deep unreal
The very first word is : How do you do?
The last: go home, your mama's callin you
Go on home
Your mama's calling you
Calling you....."

And happy Friday to you, grouchy.
BTW, when did being called a hippy become an insult?
Folks that love to love, love music, are pro-Earth, and anti-violence.
Yeah, I guess in this modern age, all that love stuff is so outdated.

Oh, didn't realize you were aiming that at just one of the folks who post to this thread.
Still, I think it's sad that the word "hippie" is now equated with a crusty pan handler, when in actuality the hippie movement was the beginning of the environmental movement.
So I'll pass your own advice on back to you. Lighten up.

Cowpoke, those 80's Hartford shows were either trainwrecks or amazing, sometimes both.
My first bootleg was a Civic show from 83, second set. Still one of my faves, the first set was a real stinker, though.

But seriously, did you check out the setlist that I posted?
Help>Slip>Frank>ST>11 !!
Playin>Uncle>Dew>Uncle>Playin'
By themselves, set lists do little. It's how they are played that matters.
I heard a funny story once how the Dead were pulling into this town (Cincinnati?), and the DJ on the big AM station commented how the Dead could play Louie Louie for hours on end.
Indeed, they opened the show with Louie and came back to it to close off the 2nd set. Who knows, I guess I could research it. But it's funny lore nonetheless.

Hey! I think I was at that Shoreline show...
I finally listened to The Closing of Winterland cds. I put it off because I didn't want to tarnish the memory of that 3am experience, when they opened the last set with Dark Star.
Dang! That was a pretty hot show! I still remember John Cipollina's a mazing playing, with Jerry backing him up, on I Need A Miracle. Or was that ... Oh well, it was ghud.
Heck, even the Blues Brothers were a kick.
We were all standing around the other day, kicking dirt. As can be popular with DeadHeads, somebody started bashing Bobby. I'm like WTF is wrong with you, I LOVE that guy!! Heaven help that fool.

I really like DP19
Oklahoma City 10/19/73
The caveat on the back cover reads:
"Despite a rather skeevy ouverture, the sound quality of this release quickly settles into a nice, warm groove. Listen closely, however, for you may just find that your mind will be blown by the music contained herein."
Highlights for me are
Dark Star>
Mind left body>
Morning Dew
And the encore
Eyes>Stella>Johnny B Goode
73 Jazzy style.
Of course, there are others....!

Thanks Jefe--I'm throwin' that in my ride today. Looks to sound Sweet!
If you have it, the last Road Trips (Denver '73) has a most amazing Wharf Rat. I listened to the first disc and thought "Well, that's nice," but then put in the 2nd. I found myself pretty darn happy. Coming out of Playin' and into WR, my emotions overtook me.
I waited a couple of weeks to see if I was just influenced by the Moon. Naw, those notes brought up those same feelings. Funny how music can make me cry with joy.

DP19 is definately one of my all time faves. The MLBJ is out there and the post-lyrics Eyes way rocks out. Keith pounds the JBG encore.
Fairground venues were the t!ts.
I've had early 71 making the circuit on my deck for the past few days. Heard "Oh Boy" and "I'm a Hog for You" on the commute. You can hear the boys smiling. Love the Pig.

Edit: my favorite official release is the 1973 Winterland box set. The Friday night show was my birthday; went to the Saturday night show which was so amazing we had to go back Sunday. The Sunday show stands as one of the best concert experiences ever - jazzy exploration, low key, no one in a hurry, small audience...I am truly grateful to have been there. Hearing those shows again with the release of that box set confirmed that I had witnessed something very special that weekend.

Yeah nibs, good stuff. Pretty good catalog representation in those discs. I'm a sucker for 73.
Now, I'm not a full Donna Hater, but to hear 73 style without her is just awesome.
DP14 from the Boston Music Hall displays this quite nicely. One drummer, no Donna(prego), the boys were a sweet five piece.
The story in the liner notes describes the scene on the first night of the run when the band was late, which they never were in those days. The crowd is wondering what's up. The curtain finally goes up to reveal an empty stage and for the next 3 hours the crowd gets to watch the crew set up the scaled down Wall of Sound. They open with Morning Dew, which is esentially a 15 minute soundcheck.
The first set ends with a 23 minute Playin.
The second set includes other classic 73 stylings with a Weather Report, a Dark Star jam, and of course a beautiful Eyes of the World.

Then, in stark contrast, we have
DP10
Winterland. 12/29/77
This is a full on, high energy show.
I love the Jack Straw opener(always a good omen, especially for us Tucson heads ).
The whole show is off the charts and the mix is {{{perfect}}}.
As the liner notes for this one say,
"The band played with the subtlety of a sledgehammer"
and
"This ain't no background music, turn that f*#ker UP!"
Yep, 77

Indeed, that was a good show. I remember exactly where I was when they played that Jack Straw, and each time I hear the disc it takes me right back--Stage Right, a couple of rows up on the balcony, great view of Cpt'n Garcia.

My first show was Pig's last.... (He didn't play too much.)
But lucky are the souls who saw the '71 Palladium show.
Damn!
They finally found the board tapes for that one. You can catch some of the Aud tape on DP #35. Then they released some of the board on Road Trips Vol 1 #3, the extra disc only. Yep, *the* Hard To Handle, most amazing. Most Amazing. Also, a super jumpin' Mr. Charlie too. And the most beautiful of Beautifuls, Brokedown Palace. Except that Garcia totally clams a note in the middle of the solo, Ouch!

All these shows from the seventies are, of course, the sh#t. Love them.
But I'm an 80's Deadhead!
So the sound of Brents voice and keys really brings me back.
Lest we forget the great years of the early 80's.
When Jerry's voice was still relatively fresh, Brent had added new energy, and great new songs were in the rotation.
Plus TIGER! C'mon now!!!
Go To Nassau
5/15-16/80
Although not a complete show, this release killz it with nuggets plucked from a few nights.
If you like a mix of old and new, this ones gottit.
Everything from
High Time and NFA>GDTRFB to
Far From Me and Lost Sailor>Saint.
Definitely my favorite 80's official release.
Sooo goood.

Didn't even know I was seeing Comes a Time.then they cancelled 5/7/81 and played a day early instead and that turned out to be the final Caution Jam out of the Bobby Sands He's Gone. anybody got 8/26/71 from Bronx, Ny Gaelic Park.

Another August 9th...
We miss you Jerry!
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
and the hot sun chills me to the bone.
When i can't hear the song for the singer
and I can't tell my pillow from a stone.
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
sing me a song of my own.
When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain
and the stars start to splatter in the sky.
When the moon hits the southwest horizon
with the scream of an eagle on the fly.
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
Listen to the ripples as they moan.
Black muddy river, roll on forever
I don't care how deep or wide
if you got another side.
Roll muddy river,
black muddy river roll.
When it seems like the night will last forever
and there's nothing left to do but count the years.
When the strings of my heart begin to sever
stones fall from my eyes instead of tears.
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
Dream me a dream of my own.
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
Sing me a song of my own.

"I miss Jerry" says the sign on Phil's amp.
Couldn't agree more.
Pate: That '68 show sound like it'd be Wow.
Matt: My big Bro got us some box seats at the H-wood Bowl show. I was a young-un, and completely straight. That show stood me on my head for a week, I couldn't believe/handle what I'd seen. I remember watching Jerry walk on stage and said to myself "Wow, that guys head looks like a black dot." And that other dude, he's got a pony tail! I didn't even know Pig was in the band...kinda sad looking back.

I just finished a listen of the latest RT. I'm not an 80s guy by any means and I'm more of a second set guy than a first set guy, but the boys swatted one out of the park on the first set. Plus the extras from the night before are quite tasty - particularly the plunky Deep Elum.

I had a Reconstruction tape - long since lost to the winds of time - that I loved. It had a cut of Dylan's "Tough Mama", a "Let it Rock", and a take on a Dave Bruebeck tune that I thought were awesome.
But then, it's the only Reconstruction I think I've heard...

Check out this link to a fairly extensive library of shows. Its a regular feature program on www.wmvy.com (Marthas Vineyard Radio) radio since 2007. The DJ is very knowledgeable and has a huge bootleg library. He can get on your nerves if he talks too much but 95% of each podcast is music. Good stuff. Each broadcast is around 4 hours.

I'm a sophomore in high school jamming out to headphones and "Casey Jones." My little brother tells me, years later; "I saw you dancing to that music that I couldn't hear and it scared the sh#t out of me!"
Within 4 years of that he'd hit the road and for 2 more followed them around.
Myself,I went to my first show in Fall of '78, at Madison Square Garden. I still can't believe my parent let me go on a school night! I was a HS senior by then and they just wanted me out of the house...
My last show was Summer '94 (?) in Washington DC. By then the heroin had caught up to Jerry and it just wasn't tight that night.
In between, I hit as many east coast shows as I good. So many adventures, so much joy. I remember exactly where I was when Jerry died (Boulder CO) and my colleague taking me to a a drum circle that night and I cried.
I don't listen to them so much anymore, but every now and then I put on a show, or give a hard listen and the chills still come.

if the music stopped?
it is never supposed to stop.
but what if it did?
a world with no music,
is incomprehensible.
but to venture there into that forbidden mental playground:
the incomprehensible.
i'd chase the wind for a day and see where it ended me.
i'd lay down there and chew a blade of grass.
untie my shoes and strip off my horrid socks.
i'd lay down, and then lay further down.
then i'd take the lay to a level i've never yet achieved.
i would dissapear.
not dead, no. just mysteriously absent.
once i was free of those damn socks, all wrotten and streched out;
once i was free of that physical mess dubbed chuck,
i'd become silence.
in order to know it better.
and to understand and appreciate my new audible companion, in my music-free world.
my trip thru silence cannot be penned, write now.
my head swirls with the dream,
while reeling with panic.
re-materializing, i step back into my holy socks,
dab my sneakers and find my way back into a world
that no longer rocks.
then i'd probably join a religion cause i sure as hell would be lost without music. lost people migrate down the drain.
goodly, the dead promised,

hey jerry.
anyone else in here?
no? just you and me? that's cool.
there's a lot of life to push out there.
the good folks must be doing their part.
you know pushin that wagon up the grade.
not me. not today. im just going to hang about with you jerry.
hey you wanna listen to this tape i found in a tree?
"you found a tape in a tree?"
well, yea. i was doing my high-angle logging gig,
for these rich folk up on that hill.
they wanted down this grand cedar cause they hate pitch on their
mercedes.
you know jerry, i love trees but i gotta make bucks. the whole pulling
the wagon thing.
anyway there was this tape lodged in a branch, kinda held there by
cedar sap. all incense smelling and all good.
so i pocketed the tape, lowered myself down and
told my clients that i found a rare species of bird in the upper reaches
of the tree.
and i have to consult an expert, cause i do believe the species may be endangered, or even believed to be extinct.
"well put in the tape and let's spin it."
...sccth...psssss...ss...
"....Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ? "
"F*#KIN JANICE! love that girl. pig got on great with that gal."
" 'shame she passed. she loved that bottle. that girl played hard, but had a voice like an angel."
or, jerry, like a bird.
"well shet, im diggin this."
"thanks for stopping by chuck, but i do believe you've planted a song seed on my heart"
cool jerry. i'll diesel on. what you gonna call the song?
"bird song."

i was just reading about the birth of The Other One this morning.
bobby was chillin at his 3rd floor story in SF and looked out the window and saw some coppers searching a vehicle.
he cocked a waterballoon and chucked it at the heat,
hittin the fella right in the ear
"never was there a more beautiful shot." piped phil.
the cops looked around and dripping with astonishment, saw none culprit.
but bobby couldn't resist. he had to show face to those cops.
so he goes down stairs and strolls past the scene.
the smirk on his face was enuf for guilt and the cops busted him.
thus became the lyrical chant,
"the heat come round and busted me, for smiling on a cloudy day."

Norwegian,
I like that story a lot. I heard it in an interview by David Gans on the Dead Hour many years ago.
It seems strange to me now that this was my response to Ammon McNeely being tased, but I wrote about the same thing here: http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=1252206&msg=1252291#msg1252291
Lesh: Water balloon episode?
MM: Uh-oh!
DG: Oh, I wanna hear this!
Weir: I got him good. . . . I was on the third floor of . . . our place in the Haight-Ashbury. . . . [T]here was this cop who was illegally searching a car belonging to a friend of ours . . . down on the street - the cops used to harass us . . . every chance they got. They didn't care for the hippies back then. . . . [S]o I had a water balloon, and what was I gonna do with this water balloon, come on. And, uh...
Lesh: Just happened to have a water balloon, in his hand...
MM: See, I wasn't gonna bring that up...
Lesh: ...ladies and gentlemen.
Weir: And so I got him right square on the head, and uh...
Lesh: A prettier shot you never saw.
Weir: ...and . . . he couldn't tell where it was comin' from, but then I had to go . . . and walk across the street and just grin at him...
Lesh, MM, DG:
Weir:...and sorta rub it in a little bit.
DG: Smilin' on a cloudy day. I understand now.
Lesh, DG:
MM: It all becomes clear.
Weir: . . . [A]t that point, he decided to hell with due process of law, this kid's goin' to jail. He didn't have a thing on me . . . It never got to court, but on the other hand, I did get thrown in jail and beat up a little bit.
MM: I still want to go back; you just happened to have that water balloon handy, it was kind of just like standard procedure.
DG: Gee, I wonder if...
Weir: He was the guy that was breakin' the law, too, the cop was.
MM: That's, that's - I agree.
Weir: I guess - . . . what does a water balloon amount to, is that assault with a, uh...
DG: Friendly weapon.
MM: With a moist weapon.
Lesh, DG:
MM: That goes under the water laws.
DG:
MM: And if it was tap water, that also...
Lesh: Disrespect for an officer.
Weir: Right.
DG: That was enough in those days - as I recall.

i do enjoy the cowboy theme common to the dead.
...
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina;
Music would play and Felina would whirl.
Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina,
Wicked and evil while casting a spell.
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden;
I was in love but in vain, I could tell.
One night a wild young cowboy came in,
Wild as the West Texas wind.
Dashing and daring,
A drink he was sharing
With wicked Felina,
The girl that I loved.
So in anger I
Challenged his right for the love of this maiden.
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore.
My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat;
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.
Just for a moment I stood there in silence,
Shocked by the FOUL EVIL deed I had done.
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there;
I had but one chance and that was to run.
Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran,
Out where the horses were tied.
I caught a good one.
It looked like it could run.
Up on its back
And away I did ride,
Just as fast as I
Could from the West Texas town of El Paso
Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico.
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless.
Everything's gone in life; nothing is left.
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fear of death.
I saddled up and away I did go,
Riding alone in the dark.
Maybe tomorrow
A bullet may find me.
Tonight nothing's worse than this
Pain in my heart.
And at last here I
Am on the hill overlooking El Paso;
I can see Rosa's cantina below.
My love is strong and it pushes me onward.
Down off the hill to Felina I go.
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys;
Off to my left ride a dozen or more.
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me.
I have to make it to Rosa's back door.
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side.
Though I am trying
To stay in the saddle,
I'm getting weary,
Unable to ride.
But my love for
Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen,
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest.
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle.
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.
From out of nowhere Felina has found me,
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for,
One little kiss and Felina, good-bye

I got the chance to meet John last night.
I shook his hand, said:
"Dark Star, thanks."
Kinda of a quizzical look back.
"Hey, I really like your pink guitar."
He looks at me sideways...
"No, Bobby's guitar is pink."
"Hmm?"
"Mine's purple."
"I guess it was the lights..."
Really a nice dude, could spent a long time talking, but I kinda felt small after my intro.
Hope the mix is better tonight, last night's was way off.

I'm loving on the 'He's Gone' on DP 29's second disc. Pretty much, the whole second disc is kick-ass.
It's been a while since I've heard this song and this version is freaking rad.
Donna and Bobby on background vocals, Jerry is sounding top notch as well.
Phil is dropping bombs out of the vocal jam, life is good.

He's gone

Wake up to find out
that you are the eyes of the World
but the heart has its beaches
its homeland and thoughts of its own
Wake now, discover that you
are the song that the morning brings
but the heart has its seasons
its evenings and songs of its own
There comes a redeemer
and he slowly too fades away
There follows a wagon behind him
that's loaded with clay
and the seeds that were silent
all burst into bloom and decay
The night comes so quiet
and it's close on the heels of the day

But back then she was a young hottie, passionately into the Dead and the whole late 60s scene. The fact is she had a crush on Bob Weir a mile long and she said before we went in the concert, she was going to try to get backstage and do Mr. Weir. Turned out it was more then Bob lol

I've got a question for folks: should I make date nights with the wife for the first two nights -- Boston Wang Theater -- of the Further summer tour? The venue is fabulous, but...
Since Jerry, I have not seen any of the various constellations, and I haven't wanted to...until now, I guess. With a few exceptions, I haven't even been too psyched listening to Further shows...until now, kinda. For the most part, I don't find the sound as inspiring as I'd hope, but I'm feeling nostalgic...and seems like I should, at least, give 'em a chance.
Anyway, if it was free, we would definitely go, but it ain't.
Looking around, seems like for two tics for two nights, we're looking at over $500.
So, from those of you who've been dropping in on Phil from time to time, is it worth it? And, should we go both nights or just the first (which would cut the cost by about $200)?

Wow, crazy prices. That would work out to be $125.00 each per night, which doesn't sound as bad. If you ever get to see the PBS presentation of the 1974(or maybe it was '76)Grateful Dead show in Oakland, it's really stellar. But the reason I bring it up is there are these two doods/deadheads that are engaged in this friendly argument inside before the show starts and they are discussing the increase in the price of tickets to $3.50(three dollars & fifty cents). One guy is really upset and thinks it is outrageous. It goes on for about 10-15 minutes, they keep coming back to it. But I remember those times, and that was allot of money to fork over back then.
I saw the Dead at San Diego State U on Mothers Day 1969 with Santana, Canned Heat, Quick Silver Messenger Service & The Flying Burrito Brothers. Great concert. Only time I saw them live. It was an outside concert on the football field.

I had the most amazing dream last night of being at Grateful Dead show in some tiny venue that I didn't recognize (my brain invented it)...it was so sad waking up and realizing it was a dream. I know, pretty random share...it was just such a vivid dream of a great show that never was and never will be.

cowpoke, the Dead played the Orphium for three nights. They were super special shows in that it was their reunion shows. Not that they never played during their hiatus, but this was their official "we're back" sets.
I was lucky to have a friend... I remember it was the first time I'd seen them play a whole set without stopping, starting with Playin'...
And man!, that is one rippin' Eyes.

That last shot is Great, Weir playing an SG, Garcia in 'tails & a rare non-black tee, and Lesh w/ the Alembic! Whoa Boy!
Naw, I don't ever think I saw a 5/8 show...
But let me check ;-)
I was a young & naive kid when I got to SF to see one of those Orpheum shows... Strange story on how I managed
to get the tix, but so it goes.
I swear, there was the very cute gal in the seat in front of me, just a few years older than I...
Although she was with her man, she kept sliding her arm behind her seat, where she'd find and rub my leg.
At one point, she got up, turned to me and winked, and wandered up the aisle.
It was about an hour later that it dawned on me...

5/8 Holy Kamolee has it been 35 years already?
Yeah, I was at Barton Hall. You knew when Jerry looked over his shoulder about 1/2 way into Row Jimmy that the group was beyond firing on all cyclinders. I'll never forget that nanosecond. Ever. Nothing was out out place that night, my face was melting off and, as I recall, I had a looming exam in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, or some such droll, that would have otherwise consumed me at the time. When it was all over, when we were to wander into Collegetown to unpeak, we exited the barn and it was snowing. Fuggin first week in May, we had no concept of temperature, or time for that matter, and we got pelted with the first snow of the next winter. Fuggin magic. My face still hurts from smiling so big.

Wow, we finally know where Owsley's truck is, how cool is that?
It showed up in Hemmings Collector Blog.
It's still in the Bay Area. This 1954 Studebaker was responsible for hauling the bands new "Owsley" gear around in the early days.
Long Strange Trip Indeed.
It’s not often you’ll find mention of any Grateful Dead news here at Hemmings, but the arrival on the market of a psychedelically painted 1954 Studebaker one-ton pickup changes that.
Collector and special-interest cars earn their appeal from their rarity, performance, breakthrough feats of engineering, excellence in design, or, in some cases, their notoriety. Recently discovered by art dealer Steve Cabella of San Francisco, this Studebaker 2R15 allegedly gained its notoriety when the Grateful Dead’s financial backer, landlord, sound man, and supplier of LSD, Owsley Stanley, bought the machine to haul his custom-made sound gear back and forth to the band’s gigs. An artist friend of Stanley’s at the time gave it the distinctive psychedelic paint job that it still wears today.

nice one there, twistedcrank.
i made the reference to k-man because he seems to have caught so many "legendary" shows, esp 77's.
Me, i was probably burning army men or building jumps for my wind-up Evel Kinevel.
I think most of us wore out a copy or two of 5/8/77.
Actually, the first set from the previous night, 5/7/77, is one of my alltime faves.

One of the best days in my life was during a run at Telluride. It was mid-summer in 87 and I took the lift up to the top with a close friend. We descended the back side of Gold Hill and climbed the steep North ridge of Palmyra Peak (13,000+) and dropped acid on the summit. The incredibly beautiful Sneffels range was spread out in all it's glory before us. We descended from the sharp summit about 35 feet, donned our skis and ripped it up down perfect corn through a long, classic 2000 foot couloir, schussing our way down the Bear Creek drainage, laughing the whole way, to the Aspen forest. We took off our skis and descended the switch backs, as we drew nearer and nearer town the band started playing down below, and Jerry's guitar was drifting up through the woods to us. We "missed" the first couple of songs of the first set, but enjoying them floating upwards as we were coming down the trail, the green glowing forest around us, sunburned, happy and high was even better than being inside. We dumped our packs at the gate and went in and danced the evening away. Awesome day.

"Cause I'm Missing Jerry Tonight" by D. Crosby
Cause I'm missing him tonight
If I had to pick one of us to speak for us all
He would have done the job well
Coming from some crazy angle
He'd have known which story to tell
he'd tell the truth about real music
he knew the truth long before he fell
His fingers would touch his guitar neck
My axe would be pressed to my chest
A chord and a melody would walk in the door
Closely followed by all of the rest
Magic and tragic and triumph and storm
and all the things we had sought on our quest
You get your ego out of the way of your hearts
The whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts
A sort of field pops into existence
Everything lifts off the ground
You know that you're doing what you were born to do
That you're using the gift that you've found
To create some lift and break all the chains
with which all our people are bound
he did it for all the right reasons
and made all of our mistakes
a more human man you could not find
an accelerator without the brakes
but he had the brains and the heart and the spirit
Garcia really had what it takes.

zB - Summer is winding down after a relatively hot and fitful cycle . . . super dry until early July, when the monsoonal moisture gods unleashed their kindness. We were spared the devastating fires that many of our brothers and sisters have suffered this season. Today was the most magical of blue sky days we have been blessed with for quite some time . . . "I've seen fire and I've seen rain . . . I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end", kind of day. I am blessed to be working on a totally sweet little building project close to home, instead of having to drive to Telluride. We are on Pleasant Point and have the complete Sneffels/Cimarron panorama to contemplate.
Hope all is well with your self!

Now Samson and the lion, they got in a tack,
Samson he crawled up on the lion's back.
You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paws,
But Samson got his hands around that lion's jaws.
He ripped the beast till he killed him dead.
The bees made honey in the lion's head.

Looks to be the full version with the skit and all.
Nice that it's available on the tube. I must have downloaded 5 different versions over the years.
Might as well throw this in here too.
Rober Hunter:
The meaning(s), or lack thereof, ascribed by others to an example of lyric work are not part of the work. The interpretations are separate "works". The manner in which an audience receives the work, what they, collectively and individually, make of it, can indeed provide potential data for the allusiveness (referentiality)of future lyrics, gainsaid, but cannot be ascribed as a characteristic of the particular work, per se, with validity without "insider information" which is, in any case, no part of the song. That way lies true nonsense, even unto deconstruction. Yet the little bugger of a jingle persists and seems to move hearts.

I'm less than halfway through (they just finished china cat->rider) and pretty much blown away. I love when Jerry played the strat with very little effects. And, Phil is great as always, but another quick impression is that Bobby's note-picking (rather than strumming chords) is fantastic in more than one instance. love the moment of announcing where little wanderers could be found too. anyway, thanks drljefe = very much appreciate the time machine.

Pretty cool. Have you done an inventory? Looks like in the vicinity of 500 tapes to me.

Wondering why you'd want to do that???
Some advice I got on converting to digital.
I'd recomend a small digital recorder like a zoom,tascam etc plugged into your stereo they have decent AD chips these days and as a bonus you can record new with them.

"They're heeeeeeeeerrrrreeeeee"
Here's a cool interview with Neal Casal.
Neal was the guitarist for Ryan Adams and the Cardinals and is now playing with the Chris Robinson Brotherhood.
He had the opportunity to play WOLF, Garcia's guitar.
Here's what he had to say.

I just got through listening to show #19 from the Europe '72 run.
5/23/72, from the London Lyceum.
A totally hot & uncorked Hey Bo Diddley.
Ho man, were those guys smokin' on that tour. The clean Garcia tones :-)

This should clear it up.
Towards the show’s end Pete got on-stage with the Dead and played three songs. Unlike most musicians who sit in, Townshend didn’t just stand to the side but got in the middle of the stage and jumped around
...
Pete said that sitting in with the Dead at Rockpalast was hard because he was having the chords shouted at him. He was also surprised at having trouble keeping up at some points because he thought the Dead never rehearsed

Paradise waits, on the crest of a wave, her angels in flames.
She has no pain, like a child she is pure, she is not to blame.
Poised for flight, wings spread bright, spring from night into the sun.
Dont stop to run, she can fly like a lie, she cant be outdone.
Tell me the cost; I can pay, let me go, tell me love is not lost.
Sell everything; without love day to day insanitys king.
I will pay day by day, anyway, lock, bolt and key.
Crippled but free, I was blind all the time I was learning to see.
Help on the way, well, I know only this, Ive got you today.
Dont fly away, cause I love what I love and I want it that way.
I will stay one more day, like I say, honey its you.
Making it too, without love in a dream it will never come true.

Do you remember the first Grateful Dead song you ever heard?
Tough one, I know, but not for me.
When I was just a kid I loved looking through my siblings' albums, hundreds of them. Album art was an endless source of amazement for me and I also started to really like music early as well.
So when my sister gave me a gift certificate to my neighborhood record store, Loco Records, I was amped!
I already knew I liked Elton John, my brother was into him, so I chose Honkey Tonk Chateau.
I had enough for another album so I flipped through hundreds, just like at my siblings' homes, looking for a cool album cover.
When I came across one with a frizzy haired skeleton wearing sunglasses and playing a violin, I had to have it!
I ran home and called my sister to tell her about my choices.
I remember I could barely even read, or pronounce the name of the album. My sister laughed and helped me along.
Grateful Dead Blues For Allah.
When the needle touched vinyl, there it came.
Help on the Way.
At eight years old, little did I know what I was in for!

As I picked up my matches and was closing the door,
I had one of those flashes I'd been there before, been there before.
Well, I ain't always right but I've never been wrong.
Seldom turns out the way it does in a song.

In the strangest of places if you look at it right.

First GD song I heard was "Caution on the Tracks". Didn't have any idea who it was - it was this sound that was just pouring out of the local college radio station at 2AM. It was probably an Anthem vinyl. All I know was that it was all you need.

Your rain falls like crazy fingers
Peals of fragile thunder keeping time
Recall the days that still are to come
Some sing blue
Hang your heart on laughing willow
Stray down to the water
Deep Sea of Love
Beneath the sweet calm face of the sea
Swift undertow
Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know
See how it feels in the end
May Lady Lullaby sing plainly for you
Soft, strong, sweet and true
Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow
Tapping at the window touch your hair
So swift and bright
Strange figures of light
Float in air
Who can stop what must arrive now?
Something new is waiting to be born
Dark as the night
You're still by my side
Shining side
Gone are the days we stopped to decide
Where we should go
We just ride
Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams
Gone - both dream and lie
Life may be sweeter for this I don't know
Feels like it might be alright
While Lady Lullaby sings plainly for you
Love still rings true
Midnight on a carousel ride
Reaching for the gold ring down inside
Never could reach
It just slips away but I try

All the years combine . . . they melt into a dream.
A broken angel sings from a guitar.
In the end there is a just a song . . . comes cryin' up the night, through all the broken dreams and vanished years . . . Stella Blue.
All the cards are down, there is nothing left to see . . . there's just the pavement left and broken dreams.
In the end there is still that song, comes cryin' like the wind, down every lonely street that's ever been . . . Stella Blue, Stella Blue . . . I've stayed in every blue light, cheap hotel . . . you can't win for trying.
Dust off those rusty strings, just one more time . . . gonna make them shine . . . shine!
It all rolls into one and nothing comes for free . . . there's nothing you can hold . . . for very long.
When you hear that song, come cryin' like the wind . . . it seems like all this life was just a dream . . . Stella Blue, Stella Blue.

we were both dust, stoned, and beautiful.
i had my dog, cho.
paul had left cedar behind.
we obviously were both elated at the semingly random
convergence of two losts along disorganized trails;
so we attempted a crude high five,
we missed and my pinky collided with his elbow
and he smiled, anyway.
we discussed the proper salutation in these type cituations,
and i told him next time,
black my eye.

Do you remember the first Grateful Dead song you ever heard?
Help on the Way.
At eight years old, little did I know what I was in for!
Holy cow, you be Young boy!
My brother used to play nothing but GD. I hated it. Uncle John's this, Ripple that.
The worst was that one with the purple album cover (thank god Phil later made one in white).
In '72, we had box seats at Hollywood Bowl. I was 14... Garcia was a black dot, a young kid with a pony tail played the other guitar. Pig Pen sat on an amp all night long, it was his last show.
The only thing I remember is Casey Jones, and then "We'll be right back."
Not me though, I never came "back."

What I do remember is the day "Ugly Rumors" got released.
Also known as Mars Hotel, the second record on GD Records (can you name the other two?).
We took a copy back to my house, and put together all the speakers in the house and cranked the thing UP! Side one, so great to hear the new tunes. Then Side two. But oh-ho. We started to get serious feedback, and thought we'd fried the amp.
Ugh, nope. Just Unbroken Chain and a joke played by Phil. Man, that was a day.
I have all 10 Rounder Records. The first one is Rum Runners, followed by the Kingfish studio album. Old and In the Way is another. Anybody remember Pistol Packin' Mama or the Keith and Donna album? Seastones?? Yeah, that's quite a diverse collection of song books...

Well, grammatically it's "My Uncle and I".
Funny story about that, a character at work came to work one morning spewing on and on about what an awesome song "My & My Uncle" was and how his playing the version from Skull and Roses (i.e., Skullfeck) over and over was driving his wife nuts. So I burned him 3 CDs with every "Me & My Uncle" I had in my local vault. What a wank.

With 70 years upon my head, to have you call me child...
Happy Birthday Old Man.
Now that is one spaced out dude:
Dark Star Named for Jerry Garcia
Asteroid (4442) Garcia
The Minor Planet Circular Citation:
(4442) Garcia = 1985 RB1
Discovered 1985 Sept 14 by Spacewatch at Kitt Peak.
Named in memory of Jerry Garcia (1942-1995), lead guitarist for the 'Grateful Dead'.
He was also a superb banjo player and steel pedal guitar player. His recorded works
embrace many styles, among them rock-and-roll, bluegrass and country, and experimental
electronic music. Garcia and the Grateful Dead have also sought to preserve endangered
and under-appreciated music.
Garcia was best known for his consummate musicianship and for live performance and
improvisations. Those embracing Garcia's music have now panned several generations,
attesting to the quality and timelessness of his music. Name proposed by T. Gehrels,
following a suggestion by S. Radford. Citation prepared by E. Olszewski and S. Radford.

I saw Furthur at the Greek too. Totally Awesome. The Wharf Rat in the first set brought me to tears.
And yeah, I'm a total Jerry fan. Seeing every line-up of the "Dead" after Jerry flew the coop just reaffirms to me how much he gave us--so many melodies, song after song... But JohnK, the new lead, has taken those melodies to new heights, and I love being there to hear 'em.
I'm also listening to last year's NYE show. Man, what a show they put on!
Anybody have favorite shows?

Further just did not do it for me. The back up singers drove home the point that no one center stage could sing. I realize now why the Dead never let Phil sing. It was rare that he sang, so maybe it was more of a treat BITD. There are so many other bands I would rather see live now that out perform these guys. Just my opinion.

Wow james, sounds like you're on a bum rush. But, what other good bands are touring these days? I love to hear live music. I was lucky to see a Tool show a couple years ago. Now that was knock-down amazing. Just saw the Psychedelic Furs, that was more of a hoot than I imagined. Seeing Adrian Bird in Nov...
As for Furthur, I don't like to compare them to the Dead with Garcia, I just enjoy the tunes they make. I like 'em live, and I have some recordings that are outstanding. But you can put them down if you like, I prefer to look at the bright spots. Lesh's bass playing is just unreal, and the more I get to see him live, the luckier I feel.
Cheers,

The Lives They Lived: Jerry Garcia;The False Notes He Never Played
By Ken Kesey
Published: December 31, 1995
HEY, JERRY -- What's happening? I caught your funeral. Weird. Big Steve was good. And Grisman. Sweet sounds. But what really stood out -- stands out -- is the thundering silence, the lack, the absence of that golden Garcia lead line, of that familiar slick lick with the up-twist at the end, that merry snake twining through the woodpile, flickering in and out of the loosely stacked chords . . . a wriggling mystery, bright and slick as fire . . . suddenly gone.
And the silence left in its wake was -- is -- positively earsplitting.
Now they want me to say something about the absence, Jer. Tell some backstage story, share some poignant reminiscence. But I have to tell you, man: I find myself considerably disinclined. I mean, why break such an eloquent silence?
I remember standing out in the pearly early dawn after the Muir Beach Acid Test, leaning on the top rail of a driftwood fence with you and Lesh and Babbs, watching the world light up, talking about our glorious futures. The gig had been semi-successful, and the air was full of exulted fantasies. Babbs whacks Phil on the back.
"Just like the big time, huh, Phil."
"It is! It is the big time! Why, we could cut a chart-busting record tomorrow!"
I was even more optimistic. "Hey, we taped tonight's show. We could release a record tomorrow."
"Yeah, right" -- holding up that digitally challenged hand the way you did when you wanted to call attention to the truth or the lack thereof -- "and a year from tomorrow be recording a 'Things Go Better With Coke' commercial."
You could be a sharp-tongued popper of balloons when you were so inclined, you know. You were the sworn enemy of hot air and commercials, however righteous the cause or lucrative the product. Nobody ever heard you use that microphone as a pulpit. No antiwar rants, no hymns to peace. No odes to the trees and All Things Organic. No ego deaths or born-againness. No devils denounced, no gurus glorified. No dogmatic howlings that I ever caught wind of. In fact, your steadfast denial of dogma was as close as you ever came to having a creed.
And to the very end, Old Timer, you were true to that creed. No commercials. No trendy spins. No bayings of belief. And if you did have any dogma, you surely kept it tied up under the back porch, where a smelly old hound belongs.
I guess that's what I mean about a loud silence. Like Michelangelo said about sculpting, the statue exists inside the block of marble -- all you have to do is chip away the stone you don't need. You were always chipping away at the superficial.
It was the false notes you didn't play that kept that lead line so golden pure. It was the words you didn't sing. So this is what we are left with, Jerry: this golden silence. It rings on and on without any hint of letup. And I expect it will still be ringing years from now.
Because you're still not playing falsely. Because you're still not singing "Things Go Better With Coke."
Ever your friend, Keez

Funny how Garcia looks like Hendrix in that photo, and Kesey is a dead ringer for Brian Jones!
What's the last tape you listened to?
Nowadays I only listen to the Dead while driving long distances alone, so it might take a couple weeks to listen to one show. I'm currently in the middle of the "break" between sets in the last show in the Spring '77 box set they just released.
I haven't been all that impressed with the quality of the recordings in this set, but surely there's some killer moments. I'll know more after I listen to the last set in the box.
Before that, I totally dug the music from "So Glad You Made It," a 2 CD set from the Spring of '90. I didn't expect much (Garcia wasn't the sharpest during the band's later years), but Whoa! I changed my mind!! The band is especially crisp and they work their effects to perfection. Full sound, full value, I recommend a listen...
I have a lot of old reel-to-reels, and there's some wicked treasures buried in there (for example, the Go to Heaven outtakes are a gas--including a particularly sweet rendition of Althea). But I haven't listed to those ol' reels since my deck bit the dust. Now I listen exclusively to the officially issued CDs, dang there's so many and the sound is so good, hard to go back to those old tapes.
Happy listening!

cool jefe.
i know that jerry appreciated
the good folks who watched his back.
once he had an elusive itch
and i was local,
so i scratched his back
though instead of shedding dead skin,
my fingers found a new tune,
like the dude was strung with string.
he turned around, aghast,
smiled.
and then he proceeded to write down
the song.
robert wasn't around, he was
hitchhiking across the southwest
in search of torment, and ohh he found it,
so i gave jerry some words to accompany his bio-chords,
and we together,
stoned.

Cool stuff if you're interested.
"During the last few years of their career the Grateful Dead used inner ear monitors and talkback microphones that allowed the members to communicate with each other without the audience hearing what they were discussing. A few recordings from 1995 of the "monitor feed" have turned up over the years allowing fans to hear the inner workings of the band. Today, we stumbled across a pair of "monitor feed" recordings provided by TimeZonerTV from Jerry Garcia's final show, which took place at Chicago's Soldier Field on July 9, 1995. "

Thanks for that, Drljefe! The sound was so clear in those days, so melodic. Also that might have been the high point of their second set round and round marathons; truly high energy, but not as come fueled manic as the next few years. I know, I was at a lot of those shows, in winter land, Oakland, redrocks, whatever that big indoor venue in Denver was, as well as Reno, Santa Barbara and others then, and fully appreciated every moment of those crazy rides!!!!

I've listened to a bunch of tapes and whatnot. Still, perhaps one of my favorite shows is that Hollywood Palladium show from '71. So frickin' tight.
From the Phil Zone has a cut from the audience tape that went around for a while. But then they actually found the sound board tapes and released various cuts from them in the Road Trips series. Half of the released SB cuts were on one of those special Bonus Discs, so fairly rare I suppose.
A most beautiful Brokedown Palace in the first set (complete with a skin-wrenching clam from Garcia during his solo). And ah, that Weather Report tease before heading back into a scorching Other One. I just wet my pants thinking about it.

I get The Shrine and The Palladium confused sometimes. The show I'm thinking of was at The Shrine. Can't remember what year.
In the meantime. Shrine - June 8, 1956.
Remember when Jerry used to just sing and didn't play guitar, Pigpen had those big sideburns and The Dead only had one drummer. Who was the other guy that Wier replaced?

On that '71 Palladium show:
(original recording due to Harvey Kaslow and Craig Todd, I believe)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Pi5qeAdXE4
Yah, good stuff. This is the much-adored audience recording. While this gives you a great feeling of being there, the actual sound-board recording really ups the fidelity.
The Phrom the Fill Zone CD even uses this audience recording on the Hard to Handle track. But from the uTube comments: absolutely stellar...one of the very best gd shows of all time, wow! and this is an audience tape, archive has the soundboard...
But alas, I went and searched, but found only this:
This show has been commercially released as "Road Trips Vol. 1, No. 3: Summer 1971"
Only part of the show is released on that Road Trips, and a bit more on a Bonus Disc... So, there ya go.

Let the Good Times Roll
This was a great run.
The band was really ramping up, Jer was healthy and stoked, and some of the last good lot camping scenes.
Give this run a listen, it don't disappoint, and turn that f*#ker up!

I took my Mom to see the Grateful Dead in 1990. She had a great time. Some funny things she may not remember- At the set break she decided to venture off solo into the sea of hippies. I told her to find a landmark so she could find us. There happened to be a big yellow balloon near our group, good. When she finally returned she said "I found my way to the yellow balloon and it was the damnedest thing, there was an AA meeting going on!" She had stumbled into a Wharf Rats meeting, sober Deadheads, who were at every show and marked their zone with a yellow balloon.

I also took my mom to Dylan/Dead 1987 at the Oakland Coliseum at her request! She remembers seeing some dude doing lines off the plastic folding stadium seat in front of her. She still loves me anyway. What a great Mom!

My Mom caught a ride back to Tucson with a friend of mine while I took her Isuzu, the "Day Trooper" to Denver for some shows.
On the drive she insisted my friend follow a large tour bus, convinced Jerry was in it. They took an off ramp and everything.
Jerry was not in the bus.

When I was seven or eight years old I bought my very first album. My sister Betsy had given me a gift certificate to Loco Records on Broadway and Stewart, just a few blocks from my house.
I already liked music, and having older siblings I was exposed to a lot of good stuff. Those were the days of vinyl and even more than the music itself, I loved album cover art and my siblings' massive collections provided hours of wonder.
So it was off to Loco Records to pick out a few albums. I knew I liked Elton John, thanks to my brother Jim, and I chose Honky Chateau purely on the merit of "Rocket Man".
Choosing the next record took a while. I flipped through hundreds of albums. There were familiar names like Alice Cooper and Dan Fogelberg but at this point I was paying more attention to the album cover art.
Then it happened. I came across the absolute coolest image I'd ever seen, a skeleton with big frizzy hair and sunglasses. He was wearing a robe, playing a violin and sitting on some intricately carved stone that had some lettering that I could just barely make out.
So the decision was made and I rushed home to play my new music. Boy did I feel independent! Rocking out to music that I chose, that I bought. I must have played Rocket Man twenty times!
I unwrapped the other album, excited to hear what my mystery choice sounded like. The needle hit the groove in the vinyl. Pumping bass and power chords, and then the first words, "Paradise waits, on the crest of a wave...."
I called Betsy to tell her about my purchases, how I'd spent her gift certificate. Elton John, I couldn't even pronounce "Chateau", and the Grateful Dead, Blues for (couldn't pronounce) Allah. Betsy snickered at that one.
Little did I know then that it was the moment I became a Deadhead.
Well almost 40 years later and I'm listening to Blues for Allah while my sister Betsy fills in the pages of the last chapter of her amazing, rich life. A life where she has helped and inspired countless people from Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, the backwoods hollers of Kentucky, and high schools in Phoenix. As a mother she raised three very talented and unique children that have grown into amazing adults. As an art teacher she helps plant the seed, water, and inspire many artists to flourish. As a partner she found and helps another realize true love. As a daughter, a sister, an aunt and a friend she gives, she loves, she encourages, she inspires.
The lyrics from that very first Grateful Dead song, "Help on the Way", seem especially poignant to me tonight.
"Paradise waits, on the crest of a wave, her angels in flame.
She has no pain, like a child she is pure, she is not to blame.
Poised for flight, wings spread bright, spring from night into the sun.
Don't stop to run, she can fly like a lie, she can't be outdone.
Tell me the cost; I can pay, let me go, tell me love is not lost.
Sell everything; without love day to day insanity's king.
I will pay day by day, anyway, lock, bolt and key.
Crippled but free, I was blind all the time I was learning to see.
Help on the way, well, I know only this, I've got you today.
Don't fly away, cause I love what I love and I want it that way.
I will stay one more day, like I say, honey it's you.
Making it too, without love in a dream it will never come true."
Immediately following the very intense jam of "Help on the Way" comes "Franklin's Tower", with this simple gem of a verse, so much more beautiful and full of meaning than I could have ever imagined...
"In another times forgotten space
Your eyes looked from your mother's face
Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
May the four winds blow you safely home."
Music has been such a large part of my life, and through every phase, every up and down, lyrics have found a way to say which I wish I could say myself.
So tonight I sing, I sob, in sadness, in celebration, in thanks.
Thank you Betsy.

hey now! jefe.
a great share, yours.
music ties it all together,
sometimes nicely and sometimes painfully.
jerry and the boys
invited many of us home.
though when we got there,
they left.
and we've lead them
to their next gig.
my first album was
"what a long strange trip,"
double album, on cassette.
i spun the spools off that one.
a gift from my first girlfriend.
i know that when i die,
no one will say i was
a gem of a friend;
a helluva dad;
a caring son;
i have convictions that quarrel
incessantly with my heart.
my stride is a drunken stumble;
though the booze is curiosity.
thanks for sharing
in regards to your lovely sister.
hey now.

actually my whole castle is collapsing
around me, and i'm trying my best
to disassemble it before it crashes
but life's bricks are free falling
all about and i'm dodging them
and boy is this exhausting,

Do you know the Bobby /climbing history? Did you ever hear of Johnny, Les and Ryan DeVoe ?
Well I did not think so. Some time back, I mean way way back '63or '64. The story goes that two of Bobby's good friend's got the chop climbing at different places in Cali. on the same weekend. (Maybe one got badly hurt or one died?)
Both had wanted Bob to join them, so as to not have to pick, he said no to both and went and saw that ugly fat guy in some band. When neither buddy was in school the next Monday Bob Weir stopped being a budding rock climber, turned to singing and the guitar, joined The band, and the rest you know.
The DeVoe family was Bobs mothers' brother. Uncle and cousins, and his adopted very well healed east cost family from where he gets his interest in property ownership and there is nothing wrong with owning real estate. Ryan the oldest, was a climber. All three were touring heads, "family" from the late '70s, thru the juveniles & junkie days of the early '90s. After much long strange tripping, Johnny, the youngest, died of an overdose, just a few years before the fat man went down that road.
I met Ryan in the Gunks , stayed at the DeVoe home in Rhode Island, climbed and saw shows around the country (never toured the world the way Les and Johnny did) we would go to 'Will Call at venue ticket booths and get set up with very special 'all arena' passes that let us go front to back stage and also in Philly. and Buffalo to the Stones shows. . AIKO AIKO `/;.D

1979,The Mason Jar,Henrietta,New York,One great room/bar.
I was a barback/tender.Max Creek,a regional Dead like band was playing and they where/are still good.
The owner of the bar,John Burdock,was good friends with Hunter.They had traveled together.John had a cottage on Honeoye Lake.The Grateful Dead would stay there over the years ,in summer,then play Ithaca,Rochester,Buffalo,Syracuse ,Toronto,etal in late summer shows.
It must have been pretty cool to see one of them water skiing .[friends say they have]
So,Max Creek,was jamming,the 150 or so in the room where content.Burdock comes in and tells me and Toby ,the REAL bartender, to take care of these two guys ,all night.
They drank Alabama Slammers ,by the picture.Where very wide eyed and Cool.
It was Mickey Hart and Phil Lesh.
The real funny part about it was me and Toby were the only people in a crowd that knew,and none of them caught on.
Was lucky to party with them after.

Acid test,of course! Nice, Poke! I knew it was a long shot. But figured with the most chronic allied band, Ever there was a chance of something.
What I was really curious about, was if they had original music at the start. Original sound, no doubt!

Seriously considering flying out to Chicago for this.
Just before Jerry died, I took a trip down to Vegas to hang out with my bud. I was so stoked about going to see them...until I got there and realized that the show had been the weekend before. Always regretted not being able to see them live, so I might have to buckle down and make this happen.

Cool stuff--Wegie, nice tape collection. I have a bunch of old reels, but there's so much great live stuff in HDCD that I don't have the time to listen to those crusty old audience tapes. Sometimes, thought, it seems the aud tapes capture more of the mood, the sound of the band through their stereo.
That's one thing about the shows that I really miss. The band always had the best damn stereo system.
What you don't see much of in tapes is the old studio outtakes, a favorite of ours used to be the Barbed Wire Whipping Party and other goodies from the Aoxomoxoa sessions. I also have somewhere some outtakes from Go To Heaven. An amazing version of Garcia finger picking through Althea...
Jaybro, to answer your question, it depends on how you look at it. Garcia had already been playing a lot of tunes when Phil ran into him. Phil was playing trumpet, but picked up the bass. I suppose when the band first got together, they pulled into Caution right off. My memory is probably off a bit from what I read, but Phil does a good job of describing the early years of their friendships, and the music that influenced them in the beginning. Check out the first few chapters in Phil's book "Searching for the Sound." There's also a fantastico description of the Acid Tests.

c I knew that I was on to a real forgotten summer trip! Three nights! all astonishingly mixed sets, maybe some of the best Donna, coming on strong, at the end of the gig.
It is so good!
that is the show thanxz Z!
Of course in the rehearing my old tapes in comparison to all the incredible shows that are on the digital Archive! makes it hard to justify keeping my old relics.
Sad to say it but 2015 will change my library of Dead tunes!! a full change!?

hi ' hey Now! Don't let me cross your sticks.
I was born under the flag as my delinquent parents left me to a college age babysitter who apparently took infant me along to shows!
my sister was also on the bus as a natural ginger and foxy as hell by the '70s, she was very off the bus by '85. Then again in the Touch of Grey/Thrill Is Gone, Hollywood phase, she got the call, was in ...
Working in production, from the corporate side. She got me good when she called from a limo on the Ski area grounds, with. . . a girl from... well. . . 'Cafe' Bethoven'(*nah my hartz still broke)
Was it Beauna Vista?? any way it had been billed as the HIGHEST Dead show ever, and she went by Limo courtesy of Bob!
I heard the tape it was no great shakes but still . . .
She went as a straight laced, buttoned up executive, with a 'family'member who had. . . blah blah blah . .
not over that girl that is fur sore.

i'm quick creating memories
of things i've not yet experienced;
that way, when i get there
i'm proceeding via hindsight
that is authored only by my imagination.
... is a great way to travel.
like robbing the future
of it's greatest weapon: uncertainty.
and slowly detonating this chaos
on a placid little moment
that just wanted to be left alone
to it's own devices,
but here comes my reckless wonder,
plowing into emotional stasis
when the angels are asleep
and i already know that i'm gonna die
at the age of 58.
it'll be a peaceful though vivid death,
gracefully unbinding a caged soul
from the shackles of life.

SOME TIME THE LIGHT'S ALL SHINNING ON ME,. . . OTHER TIMES I CAN BARELY SEE
WHAT A LONG STRANGE TRIP IT'S BEEN
SMILE AS THOUGH YOU MEANIT COUSINS! (THATZ ME)
Aug 27, 2010 - 02:28am PT
Sort of reminds me of a much more serious version of a story from Grateful Dead lore I heard that was inspiration for a song with the lyric "smilin' on a cloudy day." There's a suggestion at the end of the interview below (I edited a bit for readability) that it takes more these days than disrespecting an officer to merit getting roughed up. For what it's worth, some of you may appreciate:
Lesh: Water balloon episode?
MM: Uh-oh!
DG: Oh, I wanna hear this!
Weir: I got him good. . . . I was on the third floor of . . . our place in the Haight-Ashbury. . . . [T]here was this cop who was illegally searching a car belonging to a friend of ours . . . down on the street - the cops used to harass us . . . every chance they got. They didn't care for the hippies back then. . . . [S]o I had a water balloon, and what was I gonna do with this water balloon, come on. And, uh...
Lesh: Just happened to have a water balloon, in his hand...
MM: See, I wasn't gonna bring that up...
Lesh: ...ladies and gentlemen.
Weir: And so I got him right square on the head, and uh...
Lesh: A prettier shot you never saw.
Weir: ...and . . . he couldn't tell where it was comin' from, but then I had to go . . . and walk across the street and just grin at him...
Lesh, MM, DG:
Weir:...and sorta rub it in a little bit.
DG: Smilin' on a cloudy day. I understand now.
Lesh, DG:
MM: It all becomes clear.
Weir: . . . [A]t that point, he decided to hell with due process of law, this kid's goin' to jail. He didn't have a thing on me . . . It never got to court, but on the other hand, I did get thrown in jail and beat up a little bit.
MM: I still want to go back; you just happened to have that water balloon handy, it was kind of just like standard procedure.
DG: Gee, I wonder if...
Weir: He was the guy that was breakin' the law, too, the cop was.
MM: That's, that's - I agree.
Weir: I guess - . . . what does a water balloon amount to, is that assault with a, uh...
DG: Friendly weapon.
MM: With a moist weapon.
Lesh, DG:
MM: That goes under the water laws.
DG:
MM: And if it was tap water, that also...
Lesh: Disrespect for an officer.
Weir: Right.
DG: That was enough in those days - as I recall.

Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand
Says, "Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup
That only love can fill, only love can fill"
Been walkin' all mornin', went walkin' all night
I can't see much difference between the dark and light
And I feel the wind and I taste the rain
Never in my mind to cause so much pain
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand
Says, "Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup
Only love can fill, only love can fill"
From day to day just letting it ride
You get so far away from how it feels inside
You can't let go 'cause you're afraid to fall
But the day may come when you can't feel at all
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand
Says, "Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup
That only love can fill, only love can fill, only love can fill"

If you have doubts, listen to the music play!
[Click to View YouTube Video]
Trey, from the latest Rolling Stone:
The flow of the whole thing is in my DNA. [Yet] I never sat down and studied what Jerry played until the last two weeks.
A couple of days ago, I started listening to The Wheel. There's a line he plays after the first verse -- it slides all the way from the bottom of the neck to the top. I learned it exactly, note for note. Then what I do, since I don't want to go out there a just copy Jerry - I play in in all 12 keys, so that I get it into my body.
I'd love to go to the shows, but (1) I loath stadium shows, (2) there's no guarantee of tickets, and (3) Chicago is a long ways away. I'll listen in some other fashion than just being there, maybe I'm just getting old. But I sure do miss standing next to the stage at Winterland, when Jerry was still just a black dot.

When I first started collecting music downloads I always felt funny because I didn't have any to share. I also got really tired of just seeing "thanks" in the comments sections. So I started adding a little bit more significant commentary and tracking down and sharing rare photos.
Being a long time follower of Bob Dylan, one of my favorites and at time uncirculated was this 1966 photo of Dylan and Roberston. I found it in the archives at the University of North Carolina (down near Gypsy). Credit is due to Robert Bolton.

I went to the 8/29/87 Hog farm show! Indeed! Labeled as the "best weekend ever" by me and those I went with. We went to see a great Dead cover band at the "Crossroads" in Laytonville afterwards until the wee hours before crashing in some redwood state park. Swam in the Pacific near Ft. Bragg the next day. I will never forget that great show. Garberville and Arcata shows were great too. On my 25th birthday, Mar 19, 1982, Joe D. and I shared a Camel with The Gar behind Mojo's in Arcata during the break; we treated the occasion as no big deal and just hung out a while in the alley across from where I lived then. When our smokes were up, he said something like "hey guys, it's time for me to go, thanks."

gnome - As I recall this was a list of one guy's collecction of shows. I can't remember if it was all of them or the ones he thought were best. It was supposed to be a work in progress, I 'll look into it to see if it has been updated.
k-man the files for the show are about 1.5 GB in compressed FLAC format, so U.S. mail is probably the path to take. First off, I have to track down which disc I have them on. More later...
here is a version on Youtube

Would be something if Bill and Kareem pulled up in his van. Last time I saw Walton a couple of years ago he was carrying around his own chair to sit in because although his back is way better, it still can start hurting.

I was living in Oregon when the Blazers won the title, and we got to go to a lot of games for a couple years, thanks to a wealthy friends dad.
In the late 90's I met him in a gift shop in the SLC airport, so got to visit with him for a few minutes about that great Blazer team.
We didn't talk about the Dead, heh....

Classic exchange between Walton and John Wooden at UCLA, from a documentary.
Wooden had a no long hair, no beard policy.
Walton came back from a summer break with his hair growing out and a full beard.
He marched into Wooden's office and said: "I'm keeping the beard coach."
Wooden: Hmmm, Is that important to you Bill?
Walton: Yes it is Coach.
Wooden: Well I've always admired a man that's willing to stand up for what he believes. We'll miss you Bill.....
Walton: I'll shave.

Just tracked down the UCSB show where a hell's angel brought his bike on stage and decided to accompany the band by revving it and Warren Zevon got booed.
June 4, 1978.
Here's a clip of one guy's recolleciton
Now back to the main event: If any of you attended the Greek in 87' where they were doin' the motorcycle thing! Well, this is were it was derived from! On that board tape one can clearly hear Mickey tell the biker not to rev. it up but to just let it idle unlike here; where this guy with the motorcycle obviously had a different approach!
For example, not only with the bike but with his monkey vocalizations too which he apparently couldn't hear himself with no monitor not realizing (and asking eventually though the mic, "Is this f*#kin' thing workin'?") that it is going out over the P.A. before hand during the improvisational jam with Garcia doodlin' through his envelope filter (on by the way, the "wolf" Doug Irwin guitar i.e. the one in the movie since the Travis Bean had gotten stolen some time late the year before); (Wier unusually had a Ibanez double neck, and Lesh on the 10 button bass (Europe '72) but neither of them were in this jam until the motorcyle); while most interesting and rare Mickey Hart set some spooky Carribean rythmns using genuine steal drums! Not to mention some weird moaning and hollowing from Donna(? not visible or who knows maybe that was Bonnie Raitt or some other chick with the biker, in any case it made for a unique jam into the motorcycle charged Not Fade Away)!
More, I definitely remember the "acid casualites" remark.
Many attendees of this show recall the craziness that surrounded Warren Zevon's set. Well I have a very nice audience recording of it, and I'd like to share a few comments!!
Number one, Zevon was definitely flying on something the entire set. Therefore he is loud and obnoxious to the audience. Number two, the set goes on a little too long and it's obvious that the crowd is getting bored. You can hear people in the audience yelling "Bring on the Dead!!" The chants get louder as the set wears on.
Before he goes into "Werewolves of London," Zevon says to the restless crowd: "Okay you f*#kin' acid casualties... you vegetables... I want you to say "AAAOOOHHH!" (The crowd either yells "AAAOOOHH" or starts to boo!) "Now, you ne'er do wells....I'm going to introduce one of the greatest living singers to you... you don't deserve it but you got it!" (He introduces Bonnie Raitt, who gets a decent round of applause) "Say AAAOOOHHH!!!" (more catcalls and boos from the audience!!! "Bring on the Dead" chant grows louder and louder) "Just turn in all your drugs to my road manager and we'll see that they are properly disposed of." (More booing and catcalls as Zevon & band starts the song.)
Zevon does finish his set, which ends under an assault of feedback. (Very little applause from the audience). Bill Graham, the master of ceremonies gets on stage and says "Once again, please Warren Zevon..... (Zevon says 'thank you')
We will be back in a little while with the... Grateful Dead." And the crowd cheers wildly.

Yeah, but what about the show? From memory, I'm inclined to agree with this guy, but I'll give it another listen..
If you end up enjoying this, cool, but, honestly:
Set 1 has some truly great moments...but...
Set 2 degenerates into something really bad, starts off well but gradually goes south. It really seems that the band got drunk backstage. Yes, they are pumping out unbridled energy, hooting and hollering by the end (which seems to convince many that the music is great), but the playing becomes just a mess, amateurish. They are certainly pleased with themselves, but very likely upon listening back, they would feel that they'd like to forget about this one, embarrassed by it.
Again, for those that enjoy this show, great. But, honestly the 2nd set is truly progressively bad. There are so very many other better shows. It's worth it to skip this one (or at least sign off a few songs into set 2).
The show is here in three versions.

Just tracked down the UCSB show where a hell's angel brought his bike on stage and decided to accompany the band by revving it and Warren Zevon got booed.

Warren yelled out that we didn't deserve to have him play for us. Also Bonnie R
It took me a while after that to get into his music.....
The positive thing I remember was Elvyn Bishop ( opening act, iirc) being psyched when Jerry came out to jam with his band. After a blistering guitar solo, EB fanned his cowboy hat as if to cool off Jerry's guitar. I saw him do that other times with other musicians, but I always liked it and thought it an endearing gesture...
Stone ground played at that show, too.

Strange day. I'll be back with which angel it was later. It's been hushed up because there is an ongoing argument over the rights to the bike (or at least it's contribution to the band that day).
The Big Wha-Koo preceded Elvin Bishop and Garcia played one song with Elvin, "Goin' Fishin'".
Anybody else go to this one? I know throwpie's older brother Tim attended.

The poster for the Grateful Dead/Country Joe And The Fish concert at the Carousel Ballroom on February 14, 1968, the first live remote FM broadcast of a Grateful Dead show
The Dead’s first involvement with FM radio came very early on – while he was attending UC Berkeley, Phil Lesh was a volunteer engineer at Berkeley’s KPFA station. On one of his first meetings with Garcia in winter 1962, he asked Garcia to record a demo for the station’s Midnight Special folk show. Garcia wound up playing a full radio show of solo folk tunes, called The Long Black Veil.
A couple years later.

Just heard a rumor that the Grateful Dead will do two shows in the Bay Area before Chicago. (Shoreline?)
I've known some folks who have been to a Lot of Dead shows, but until now, Jerry has been to them all. Man, that dude sure liked to follow the tour.
Great memories of Santa Barbara Jaybro & Steve! My memories of the show are not as crisp. But I do remember they guy next to me, he somehow snuck in a huge N2O tank...

Ugly rumors ;-)
They should just do a proper tour.
It would be well attended and would certainly quell all the Deadheads pissed off about the Chicago deal.
Rotate guitarists too so all the Trey haters will be happier.
By the end the band would kill each other- then there'd be no question whether they'd play again.
Doubt any of that will happen, though.
A Bay area blowout sure would be appreciated, and appropriate.

mickey hart on feedback,
"first one would feedback, then all of them would be feeding back madly, until the song disappeared beneath torrents of noise. it was like somebody tossing a bloddy chicken into a pool of piranha. phil would almost be foaming at the mouth, throwing his guitar into the amp. and jerry would just drop everything and run at his amp, as if he couldn't get back there and start feeding back fast enough.
god it was exciting. for a few minutes you'd be out on the edge with this roaring animal all around you, and it was always an open question whether it was going to go back into it's cage or not. pigpen hated it. he would hide behind his organ, and we'd have to call to him to come back out and play."

I forgot to ask. Has anyone ever listened to the "tuning" tape? I can't remember how many minutes (but pretty long) of nothing but GD tuning.
I'll track it down if anyone is interested and yes I listened to it all the way through. OK I was working on some stuff simultaneously.

The choice of Chicago? still leaves me out in the cold,
and
as for uncle Bob he is a piece of work, and would have made a very good climber .
He is a bit of a slum lord but it is with a golden hart.
Womanizing?
he was know to say that any one who criticized him was jealous and would keep the fans happy too, & it was part of the job description.
I was smitten by a friend of his who was a friend of my sister and they would torture me by calling home to ask if i could guess who was about to say hi?
It would always be some almost a list punter,
but the day they called from the Boreal ridge show It was Bob and he and I played a funny game I knew instantly,
so I spelled out B, O B and BOB said" HA! this guys good, b,o,b it is !"
and do you know A, M, Y,?
she says that this was your ticket
that she doesn't need why aren't you here?

I'd written it off, didn't get blessed by the lottery and I figured "that was that."
They just released some 6,000 tickets for cheap for the Saturday show at Levi stadium, a friend of mine wrote me. But it was too late, I'd already bought some tix off eBay!
I stumbled over to the Dead ticket section, and there's tons to be had. Many for above cost, but if you look, you can find some deals. OK, I still paid a pretty penny, but I got great tickets for almost 30% off the sticker price!

On Garcia's guitar sticker...
Garcia said the Travis Bean was the best production guitar made, and he played his white one for a couple of years. I love that period of time when he'd play with few effects, just the tone of the guitar blasting through. He got more and more into effects, which was pretty good for the most part, but I always loved it when he'd just turn the balls to the wall.
It wasn't often I'd fight to get up close, but it was a special experience when you were in ear-shot of the group. Jerry never put on much of a "show," he'd just stand staring at some far-away light, gently rocking back and forth. And the crowd would be going nuts.
At Winterland one evening, I got up close enough to read what his new sticker said on that Travis Bean.
The Enemy is Listening
Ha! What a friggin' jokester. I laughed hard.
Soon after that he got himself a different guitar. He put a sticker on that one too, it was a wolf. Sometime afterwards, when the ax was in the shop, Irwin tore the sticker off and duplicated it with a beautiful inlay. I think that was then end of the stickers on Jerry's guitars.
Yeah, Fare the well.

Nice post K Man.
I hadn't considered going to any of the Fare The Well shows.
Then I got a call and a message from some old East Coast friends.
Just get to Santa Clara, we've got you covered- tix, hotel, car, just get there.
I didn't even know the show dates.
Looked it up, as I was about to go ahead and purchase plane travel.
Turns out I already had plans- a family wedding in LA.
First time, last time I guess, I'll ever turn down miracles.
Turns out, now I have the flu and can't even go to LA.

at this point in my life nothing beats a good day of surf or climbing in index and at the end of the day chilling in the hammock with the kid and listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul.

More Garcia
Half of Bill Walton's living room is filled with musical instruments. These include an array of drums, cymbals and percussion instruments given to him by the band’s drummers, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart. All of the band's members once signed a Zildjian cymbal for Walton as a birthday gift. On it, Garcia wrote: Hey Bill. Beat this!
Bill is a "bigger" fan than many of us. :)
You can check out his Dead memorabilia here.
I took out the links because after you click 'em a couple of times they default to the newspaper subscription page.

So...I watched the first show, second set only from the couch while on a family visit in Santa Barbara, visiting sister and parent and picking up hand-me-down baby stuff. Then I see the first photos posted of friends from tour who I hadn't seen in twenty years imploring "GET UP HERE". I petition my wife and we leave Santa Barbara at 2pm the next day.
We stop at the Santa Clara Mariott to pick up a floor ticket left for me at the front desk at 6:40pm. I hear Minglewood from a mile away. By 6:58pm I'm stepping on to the floor, front left, of the stadium. The traditional rendezvous point. At 7pm, as scheduled, Frank comes out and wraps my wrist with a VIP band and I find myself hugging and hooting with a dozen friends who I had literally not seen in twenty years.
No time to catch up, music's playing! Talk to you at set break.
As it went down:
(Missed)
Stranger
Minglewood
Brown-Eyed Women
(arrived)
Loose Lucy - very competent - much more energy than last night. Trey is getting loose.
Loser - very impressive. I like Phish some but I'm way cynical about this configuration. This one rocked. Trey most definitely overcame his initial inhibitions. In fact, Bobby and Phil tried to return from the bridge several times with Trey obliviously soloing over them at least three times. Eventually they gave up. "I guess we're done when Trey's done." Kinda funny moment when Bob and Phil just lost all control of the band. Far more prominent than ever happened with the Boys.
Row Jimmy - Also very strong. Well extended. Trey is strong.
Alabama Getaway - straight up smoking. Full-tilt, and a nice treat since I only saw one in the 80s/90s.
Black Peter - nice placement in first set, suprising energy to a song that drug us into a dark place in the Jerry days.
Hell in a Bucket - Rowdy and fun. The Bobby songs seem to float better.
Set break Chuck and I mysteriously found ourselves taking a wrong turn and ending up fortuitously in a VIP lounge area with free food and short bar line. We stacked ourselves with treats to take to our friends and chuckled back out into the concourse to socialize.
Back for Round Two -
1/2 Step > Wharf Rat - as good as it ever got in the days. I don't recall hearing a Wharf Rat from 1988 forward that approached the quality of this one. My friends and I began a discussion of how many truly terrible Grateful Dead shows we saw, and how on balance this was certainly better than some of them.
Eyes - off kilter. Please don't let Phil sing anymore. Love you Phil.
The rest was continuously solid with no real low lights, but nothing electrifying.
Drums>Space>
Miracle>
Death Don't>
Sugar Mag
E: Brokedown
Death Don't does deserve mention. I don't know what happened but the falling-off-his-chair Bobby, doddering old pain-pill addled old man received some sort of rejuvenation. DDHNM was one of the rare Jerry songs that Bobby actually sounds just as good if not better singing, and he nailed it. Emotion and intensity I don't recall ever hearing when done by the boys.
Donor Rap, Final Bow, that's it that's all. So glad I didn't miss it.
Best wishes to all of you heading to Chicago!

We got to see both shows - what fun!
Last night we had floor tickets. The security people gave you a wristband that meant you had access to the floor. I asked them when they would open the floor to everyone (Saturday the floor looked packed!) and they said never - it was reserved for floor ticket holders the whole time (like your seat would be reserved for you the whole time). As soon as the first song started to play, broad daylight, people started jumping down in the ADA section next to the floor, then down to the floor, then jumped the barriers into the crowd and disappeared/blended in. Soon it was crazy crowded on the whole floor - we eventually bailed to some unoccupied seats way over yonder. Kind of annoying and also kind of sweet that the floor was so well used. Prolly a big part of it was that they had sold all the obstructed view and no view seats behind the stage, so those folks packed in all over.
The interesting thing to me was the perspective of the Levi's Stadium security personnel. They we're flabbergasted and unprepared for the aggressiveness and disrespect of the people jumping the section barriers and flooding the floor and ignoring their instructions and authority. They were used to better behavior from the people who attend NFL games, which seemed an interesting commentary on the values of the fan bases. It's not what I've learned to expect. :-)

I noticed that consistently at fresh venues they played. At the Palace in Detroit in 92 it was free for all with the ushers night one. By night two they'd locked it down.
Excellent response to my lack of modesty Kalimon. It was a special night indeed and I'm having trouble containing it.
I have a joke for you:
"An old man enters a confessional and proudly exclaims, "Father, I have to tell you what happened to me last night. I'm 90 years old, and I made love to two 18-year-old women for eight hours!"
The stern priest replies, "That is a sin. I will have to give you a penance."
"Father, you can't give me a penance."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm Jewish."
The perplexed Father asks, "Then why are you telling me?"
"I'm telling everyone!""

I was not fortunate enough to see them in their heyday, but I'm just gonna say it: 2nd SC show was musically better than all but the very best moments from the best shows I saw in the 80s. Yes I miss Jerry, and no I'm not a fan of Phish, but Trey absolutely freaking killed it entire 2nd night. As did entire band. Trey was justly and modestly derivative (eg, so we recognized the general mixo leads) but totally uniquely him too, and I f*#king loved it. No, it was not the same as with the Grateful Dead as only they could be with J, but that's as it should have been. CHICAGO!!!!!!

Well gosh darn it, I've seen my last Grateful Dead show. 43 years of being amazed at shows!
We used to time our backpacking trips so that we'd get out and drive straight to a show. Ha, what a tirp that was.
Second show was excellent--what a sound! But, what a morose song selection--He's Gone, Black Peter, Death Don't Have No Mercy, and Wharf Rat, mercy mercy me.
To me it seemed like it took a bit for Trey to warm into it, but by the second set we were all rockin'!
Somebody said that we should rent a room and stream the last shows (for we who can't make Chicago). Grand idea...

Maybe I'm too nostalgic, but Grateful Dead without Jerry Garcia is not the Grateful Dead. I don't care if Jimi Hendrix is playing the guitar.
Greatful Dead maybe. I would go if I had a ticket.

Good point. I heard something that I think was from the other night, sounded like all the other members, with a very talented, very competent singer/ guitar player. It made me sad, it just wasn't what I wanted....But, given that, I once saw the "Jerry Garcia band" in Vail at a free concert about a decade ago. I was skeptical, but it was free, and the streets were heated.
Those guys kicked ass! They didn't try to sound like Jerry, but we're clearly inspired by him. It was a welcome, delightful surprise. I'd go see them, in a heartbeat!
So times change, the wheel keeps turning. I'm ready to watch, hear this with an open mind and accept it for whatever it turns out to be.
I've been to overt hirty genuine dead shows, seen them with the Who, elvyn bishop, Branford, Bruce, etc,
Also legion of Mary, many JGB's, and various tributes, and other interpretations. Including Lyle Lovett playing Friend of the devil, in Reno, days after jerry passed, the next day, a bluegrass band playing OR, did their take on lyle's versin of Friend, with a big expository intro. They rocked it! the next night I saw B.B King play a version of stormy Monday modified just for Jerry.
I want to see this thing as it covers, " just a little more ground"!

Great show! Classic dead show. Unlike any other band. I love me some Warren Haynes, and saw The Dead with him once, but he's too bluesy for the dead. Trey did a great job filling in. Bruce Hornsby did great vocals too.
So happy I got to relive the past a little and get one more time around. even if it wasn't as good as BITD.

This may be long and rambling, like a tired Row Jimmy jam :-), but I've been trying to gather all my thoughts about this sh!t and am ready to puke it out.
I've not been a fan of Post-Jerry Dead projects.
I saw The Dead, Furthur, Phil and Friends, all once each.
Just not my gig. They were fun and the music was OK. Phil and Friends was probably my favorite because (ok it was at the Warfield) they were not trying to be the Grateful Dead.
It was Grateful Dead music, interpreted and morphed, handed down, carried on.
Which is what music is, especially American music. It's a tradition that's handed down, that changes with the times and the players.
The others, The Dead and Further, seemed like novelty acts, trying to recreate the music and the experience and falling short for me. I actually enjoyed the few Dark Star Orchestra shows I saw more. It was Grateful Dead music actually played well, really well.
So when these Fare Thee Well shows were announced, I really had no desire, like I said, not my gig. I figured it was going to be just another novelty thing. Nothing will ever come close to the Grateful Dead, even at their worst, and I saw some stinkers in my 101 Grateful Dead shows.
Then came the sh!tshow ticketing fiascos for Chicago, the endless bickering about Trey and who should be filling the slot. I was turned off even further. Not even the announcement of the two added California shows got me pumped.
When some old East Coast Heads messaged me and said they had me covered carte blanche, "Just Get There!" I had an immediate change of heart and checked the dates ready to book a flight.
Bummer, I already had a family wedding planned in LA. Oh well, de pump.
Then I got the f*#king summer flu and had to cancel LA WTF!!!!!!
Enter the webcast. Couch tour time. Perfect.
So here's my take on the shows from the comfort of my couch, and my patio, and my bathroom, and my kitchen.
First of all, I'm a fan of Trey and think he was the right man for the job. He's a modern legend, a certified virtuoso capable of anything, and he did pick up where Jerr left off. He led the biggest freak show the world ever knew other than the Grateful Dead. He knows the scoop. Plus, I'd heard him play with various Dead incarnations and knew he could slide right in.
There are a bunch of players that could do the job and do it well.
No one has shown the reverence for a Garcia ballad, both in vocals and chops, like Warren.
No one can imitate Jerry like JK. Barry Sless, Neal Casal, Jimmy Herring, all very capable.
But in the end, the general public, even old Heads not up on the current scene would be like,
"Who?"
They needed a recognizable name as well as a shredder.
"Ummm, Jerry Garcia's dead, who's gonna play guitar???"
"OH....the guy from Phish. That makes sense."
Yeah Trey makes sense, whether you love him, hate him, or even know him at all.
So this is just one man's take, tastes vary. But I've listened to a sh!tload of Grateful Dead in my life, seen a lot of shows, am critical/skeptical, love Trey, miss Jerry and I'd like to think I have a good ear.
And because I was not at the show, dancing, living it up, letting the music and whole experience wash over me...
Just listening on headphones...and watching, scrutinizing, loving, singing...
my review counts dammit! :-)
Night 1
Rough opener- Truckin'. Slow, the mix was off.
Uncle John's- same.
I'm thinking, here we go again.
Then something happened.
They fixed the mix, they warmed up and
it became obvious that this was a throw down.
They weren't just busting out an old song that Garcia would never have played in later years, interspersed with other classics. They were busting out a whole set of them. Vintage early Dead. 1970 sh#t. Proper, but it felt like a short set.
I knew the second set was not going to be a Sampson> Women Are Smarter ordeal. They were going to keep this going.
And they did.
Unless you were seeing the Dead in '70, I wasn't, I was born in '70, you never heard a set like this played by the members of the Dead.
It was epic.
Some of my first tapes were one long braided jam of Cryptical>Dark Star>St. Stephen>The Eleven.
I love that sh!t and it was handled with aplomb.
The second set was 2 1/2 hours. Closing with a Dew and encoring with Casey Jones.
Of course there were fvck ups, but I loved every bit of it. Even Phil's wretched singing.
And he was the definite architect of this show. He's known for heavily rehearsed jams and vintage Dead, and barking orders into the monitors.
I immediately purchased the webcast for the next night.
Night 2
The first night was decidedly a Phil show.
I knew night two was going to be a Bobby show,
and in the afternoon I called a Stranger opener.
Nailed it. I still got's it!
The mix was right, any jitters gone and I knew right away that we were in for what many of us younger heads remember as a Grateful Dead concert.
The set was chock full of singalong classics.
Trey absolutely crushed Alabama Getaway, he ripped the signature solo on Loser, and during Hell in a Bucket he just shredded the whole fvcking thing. Trey was ripping.
The second set featured seamless jamming and transitions into Wharf Rat, then into Eyes, then into He's Gone. These segues were excellent, amazing. Not just special for this band, special period.
He's Gone had some super cringeworthy vocal flubs but everybody just laughed it off and Smiled, Smiled, Smiled.
A traditional Drums/space into Miracle. Perfect. Bobby in his element and handling the vocals well, like he'd been singing it for 40 years.
Death Don't Have No Mercy was a bust out I heard at Shoreline in 89, it hadn't been played since '70, so it was cool to hear it again, this time sung by Bobby.
Sugar Mag was the obvious closer but what would the encore be for these guys' last show in California?
Brokedown Palace, of course.
Certain Dead songs have a short, succinct , melodic solo. Brokedown is one of these. Iconic.
These are solos you don't take liberties with, you don't wander or run with. You play it exactly how it was meant to be played.
Trey did this beautifully, note for note his guitar gently wept out the solo, and I must admit, I wept as well.
If music can bring back memories, this solo, these lyrics just flooded the dam, filled the book, and colored the painting with a million sweet and sad times I've had since I was a teenager.
Love, love, loved it.
It made me feel like a Deadhead.
I AM a Deadhead!!!
Many will say that this was not the Grateful Dead. It can't be the Grateful Dead without Jerry.
After this show, I beg to differ.
What I heard was the Grateful Dead. Beautiful, ugly, sweet and sour.
More about Trey. (this about the time in Row Jimmy when I'd go get a pretzel or take a leak)
I don't think it should be understated what Trey managed at these shows.
I watched and listened to him very closely.
Imagine being master like him, with a signature tone and style, with many years playing your own music live, to throngs of adoring fans, not central scrutinizers.
I'm sure he was told "not to sound like Phish" and "don't imitate Jerry". They had him on a tight leash and the world would be watching.
What's a guy to do? :-)
Well he managed to adopt some of Garcia's unique style, mimicking it without imitating it. Holding on to his own tone and style and adopting Jerry's when called for. Not sounding like Phish. Not sounding like Jerry. That's a tall order.
And remember, he has to play with Weir- no small feat, as Weir is not a conventional rhythm player. He's full of surprises and spices and is rarely holding it down for the lead to do his thing. Trey has to play lead and rhythm and figure out what spices Bobby will throw into the stew at all times, on songs that are not his own and that are loved and familiar to hardcore fans for 50 years. And he did an amazing job. He not only did his homework but was much of the time responsible for keeping the train on the tracks.
There will still be those that don't like him, that will compare him to Jerry, or still think there was someone better fit for the job.
But from where I was sitting- Trey killed it.
If you actually read this bullsh!t, thanks. Feel free to heckle, debate,
or just smile and celebrate the music of the Grateful Dead!
You weren't there maaaaaaaaaaan.
edit:
I just read stevee b's account on the previous page, and cowpoke's above.
Cool to see the parallels from someone who was actually there.

Nailed it Jefe.
I'd take only one exception - and I don't mean to split hairs. From where I was looking at it, it was a lot of fun and had all the dressings of The Grateful Dead and actually really did come very close, and in many ways it *was* much better performed and energized than dozens of those terrible shows we both saw in the 80s and 90s (every damn show Spring 1992 - wtf?), but it just didn't have that...you know. Which like I said and I think you alluded to, that didn't make it bad or unenjoyable or whatever, just different.
After seeing one Further show a few years back, I thought it was interesting but it really just confirmed that after 125+ shows frolicking my life away, I really don't have to bother with this anymore. This show was much better than that, and I might be motivated to catch another one with the right people and circumstances, but in many ways it was relieving to know that Yes This Is Over, has been for years, and I'm at no risk of having to put everything on hold again and follow this circus.
There was much mourning but also a little of relief when Jerry died. For one, the whole anguish of watching him drag along the bottom of the ocean of drug addiction and embarrasing shows was finally over. For two, I could finally go to college and get a job and tackle life effectively. It was getting pretty tough arranging everything in my life around their schedule.

I really like what you wrote.
While I had the "benefit" of listening from home, and having close ups of Trey's fingers and the band's faces, etc,
You were there.
The music and the experience WAS washing over you. You WERE reuniting with old friends....
And you attest to it missing "something".
Well, it was Jerry.
And it wasn't Jerry.
When he died so did a lot else.
The music would never be the same again, nor the scene, or the vibe, or that "something".
That "something".....
Probably most pronounced for me in those few seconds before the band started, that collective energy in the air.
Or when I'd start to see more and more hippie vehicles, letting us know we were close.
Even the dread of the Sunday night closer and the realization that a long drive home awaited.
F*#k man, I'm definitely overly sentimental and it probably did skew my review....
Thanks stevee b- I hadn't talked to any friends that were there yet about that "something" and whether it was there or not.

After seeing them in Santa Clara the thing that really came to mind is are they really going to be able to call it quits after these fantastic shows with this line up?
It really was the Grateful Dead again. Of course there was a big hole without Jerry but it still felt like old times and just 5 more shows won't be enough.
I wouldn't be surprised if they reunited this line up again at some point.

Hahahaha... As much as I love the Dead, I never did find the need to go on tour.
I see the band every chance I can, and never try to have expectations about it being one thing or the other. The first few shows after Garcia passed were especially tough though--it was like there was this spot on the stage where something was supposed to be, but it was just blank.
Empty.
The good shows were Great, the really bad ones were a waste, and there was everything in between. After seeing these guys for over 40 years, I'll still go back if they play again. But alas, I wonder if there will be more Bobby/Phil hook ups after this run. My personal take is that no, this is really it.
Phil said it in his donner rap, these are very special moments we have, and we're all glad to be able to be a part of these special events. And from what I see, Phil will forfeit his bass when we pry it from his cold dead fingers.
And I worry about that.
But damn did that band sound Full!

I'm with drljefe all the way.
I’ve been to my share of great, great Grateful Dead shows, including my 1st at Selland Arena (Fresno, 1974), Oakland Auditorium (New Years, several years), Greek, Cow Palace, Warfield (1980), Calaveras, plus 50+ more. I never went ”on tour,” but did do whole series around Northern California until 1995.
I’ve hung with Jerry in the alley, and have cousins who were friends and classmates of Billy and Pigpen in PA. Since the early days, I’ve had a closer than average connection to this PA garage band.
Saturday night’s concert by the Grateful Dead was the best concert I’ve ever attended without a close second. Creampuff, Viola, The Eleven, and St. Stephen each alone would have put this concert at the very top. Welcome to the family, Trey! Thank you! The Great Hiatus ended on Saturday.
I’m still recuperating

Night one
**Set One: Box Of Rain, Jack Straw, Bertha > Passenger, The Wheel > Crazy Fingers > The Music Never Stopped
Set Two: Mason's Children > Scarlet Begonias > Fire On The Mountain > Drums > Space > New Potato Caboose > Playing In The Band > Let It Grow > Help On The Way > Slipknot! > Franklin's Tower
Encore: Ripple**
The energy and musicianship in this show was remarkable. It felt over the top.
Trey was on fire from beginning to end. Amazing stuff, and I've been a major wet blanket when it comes to post-Jerry stuff. Mind blown.
Night two
**Set One: Shakedown Street, Liberty, Standing On The Moon, Me & My Uncle, Tennessee Jed, Cumberland Blues, Little Red Rooster, Friend Of The Devil, Deal
Set Two: Bird Song, The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion), Lost Sailor > Saint Of Circumstance, West L.A. Fadeaway, Foolish Heart, Drums > Space > Stella Blue > One More Saturday Night
Encore: U.S. Blues**
I was a bit luke warm about the first set, probably just me but it felt like it was lacking something...
but the second set was awesome. Bobby in form.
Sailor>Saint is one of my all-timers and all Trey's studying paid off. It was f*#king flawless and beautiful.
And if you can find it, listen to One More Sat Night. Once again, Trey is the f*#king man.
Brandon- do yourself a favor and get tonight's webby.
The whole production is something worth seeing.
As a life-long Deadhead and someone who's loved Trey from the start, this sh!it is like peanut butter and chocolate.
If he weren't already there, these shows will cement Trey's place in history.

And check this out-
The lights at the Empire State Building's LED tower were synchronized to the band's live performance of "U.S. Blues." ESB lighting designer Marc Brickman teamed up with the band to create the vision and technical design of the music-to-light show, which featured an assortment of Grateful Dead imagery in the mast of the building.

The restrooms were so crowded a member of our group got caught peeing under a stairwell. Cuffed, put in a cell, and ejected sans ticket after receiving a citation.
He said the real fun was when gatecrashers got busy. Cops on Segways rushed in screaming, swinging elbows, and cleared the area in front of the Field Museum. Our guy watched from the sides and avoided my additional trouble.
On the inside, we were sitting between Phish/Trey fans and a local couple who saw the shows in '95. The mix was good. The sound ok opposite the the stage. I called China Rider and Estimated Prophet in the first set and Terrapin second set.
All things considered, I heard better performances from Furthr, but enjoyed being there for the final, real end.
Back to LAX tomorrow night.

Me too!
And the Trey thing?
Kreutzman kissed his forehead before they took places in the last show.
He and Phil shared an enthusiastic embrace after a flight of stringed wizardry mid set.
Bob donned the shirt.
I think he "passed the audition." As it were..

I've listened to a little bit of their run, and man, let me tell you, it's the coolest shizz.
I grew up listening to the Dead, but never got to see Jerry. Instead, I went on Phish tour for a few years.
Hearing Trey play with his own sound, with the boys, well it just makes me smile from ear to ear.
Love it!

So, I'm working at a summer camp for over-privileged kids and today was rappelling day.
As usual, I'm playing music on my phone as I hook the kids up to their fig-8's and send them over the edge of the cliff.
"Don't let go of the rope, lean back, keep your feet on the rock, brake-hand down by your hip, there ya go."
Then this little eleven-year-old comes out to the rap station, looks at me with a smile, and says "China Cat Sunflower! I love this song!"
Made my day.

The Nash Strat
by Henry Kaiser [from Europe '72: The Complete Recordings box set]
One of the many delightful qualities of Europe '72 recording is the unique sound of the heavily modified Fender Stratocaster guitar that Jerry Garcia used for all of the performances on this tour. I'd like to briefly guide you through this instrument's history to show how this sonic magic came to be.
In the two years before the '72 European tour, the Dead and their techs were caught up in a whirlwind of technical innovation and experimentation. The band's instruments, amplifiers, an PA system were altered practically every night. Bear, Rick Turner, Ron Wickersham, Frank Fuller, and others were redefining the onstage experience and the live sound of rock 'n' roll, as the band members constantly experimented and redefined all aspects of their music. During the Europe '72 tour, this experimentation had flowered into an unprecedented musical expression for a psychedelic dance band. What was different about this tour was that the gear was totally consistent from night to night, since only a limited amount of gear could be carried on such a tour. This technical consistency, along with the great old European concert halls and their amazing acoustics, allowed for a refinement of the band's expression and musical communication over a length of the tour. (The acoustics of those halls played a tremendous part in the creation of some of the "Dark Star" and "Other One" jams, almost like another band member.) An essential part of this refinement of performance was the guitar that was in Jerry's hands.
In the early years of the Dead, Garcia had played a Guild Starfire and then a wide variety of Gibson guitars, culminating in a Gibson SG, heard to exquisite effect on the `Live/Dead` "Dark Star." In the autumn of 1969 he made the move to Fender Stratocasters. He switched among several of them for the next year or so. In late 1970 Graham Nash gave Garcia a Fender Stratocaser (most likely with a '57 maple neck and a '63 swamp-ash body) [purchased by Graham for $250 in a Phoenix, AZ pawnshop]; this is the guitar that we hear on the Europe '72 tour. Today some folks refer to it as Alligator, after a sticker that began to adorn its pickguard some time later after June of '72. We'll call it The Nash Strat. During this tour, its body sported a Harley-Davidson sticker and an R. Crumb "Keep on Truckin'..." sticker.
However, this guitar was no longer anything like a stock Fender Stratocaster. By the time The Nash Strat reached Europe, it had been modified with many of the innovations that the Alembic crew had discovered, and also with some unusual mods that Jerry himself had suggested. These mods were precursors of things to come in electric guitar design and production. It was the sate-of-the-art electric guitar of its day.
Here's a list of the principal mods on The Nash Strat by April of '72:
1) Wiring and control circuitry replaced with higher-quality components, plus extreme shielding to combat hum and noise.
2) Internal pre-amp designed by Ron Wikersham, powered by a 9-volt battery; later marketed as the Alembic Stratoblaster. This provided impedance isolation for the guitar from the amps and cables, as well as a small amount of extra gain, resulting in a clearer, purer, more hi-fi tone when the signal reached the amps.
3) A brass nut, Schaller tuners, plus a brass string tree to make the higher tuners work with the neck's geometry, which both resulted in a fortunate evolution of tone and sustain for the instrument.
4) New, really big tall frets.
5) The Fender tremolo Strat bridge was removed, the trem cavity filled with wood and epoxy, and a Gibson tune-o-matic bridge was installed, along with a brass tailpiece. This meant that the strings no longer traveled through the body, and the overall string length was changed, resulting in changes to the sustain and resonance of the instrument, as well as changing the instrument's "feel" for string bending.
6) Part of the broken pickguard was replaced with brass, which gave quick access to the insides, and new knobs were installed, along with a brass jack plate.
All of these features, combined with the magic of Jerry's brain and fingers, resulted in some of the most clear and articulate guitar work ever to appear in the Grateful Dead music. Things never stood still in G.D.-land, however. Doug Irwin was working on the guitar to be known as Wolf, and while it was not quite ready for the stage, one of Wolf's features was modded into The Nash Strat in later 1972; a larger, more massive brass bridge and sustain block. Alas, to this listener's ears (check out live recordings after December 1972), the magic of The Nash Strat was gone. Garcia then switched around among different Stratocasters until he took up Wolf full time in September of '73. Apparently The Nash Strat was last used by Jerry on August 1 of 1973. Magical Guitar: R.I.P.
And now you know... The rest of the story.

“I won’t see the end of the year”: Backstage at Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead’s final shows

"I won't see the end of the year": Backstage at Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead's final shows
Jerry Garcia at Madison Square Garden, Sept. 15, 1987. (Credit: AP/Corey Struller)
Excerpted from "So Many Roads: The Life and Times of the Grateful Dead"
Three songs into the show, the house lights still on, the time had come for “Dire Wolf,” but with a perverse twist no one had anticipated. Twenty-five years had passed since the Dead had recorded that song at Pacific High studio. They’d played it innumerable times since, occasionally slowing it down a half step. But tonight, in the middle of Indiana, they again injected it with the crisp, merry gait of the recorded version, and even the song’s refrain harked back to its original impending-death inspiration. “Please, don’t murder me,” Jerry Garcia sang again, now in a voice weathered by age and abuse, as cops pivoted their heads, hoping to catch sight of the man who’d vowed to kill Garcia before the night was over.
Along with the likes of Alpine Valley Music Theatre in Wisconsin, the Deer Creek Music Center had become a destination spot, a revered haven, for the Dead and their fans alike. Springing up amid cornfields and cow pastures a half-hour north of Indianapolis, the amphitheater was, like the band, an enclave unto itself. Out there the straight world never felt so distant. Although the Dead had played Deer Creek six times before without major incident, tonight began on a sour note. On their way from their hotel (north of Indianapolis) to the venue word filtered down to band and its management: a death threat had been called in to Deer Creek. Similar calls and warnings had arrived before, but this one felt creepier. An anonymous person had called local police claiming to have overheard the distraught father of a young female Deadhead. The information was unclear, but the implication was that the girl couldn’t be found and had run off on the road with them, and that the father was planning to attend the show and shoot Garcia.
So....... Much more to this

Jerry is still with us.
3-18-1995 Philadelphia Specturn
One listener's take.
Yep, it's a good one. Play just this track for a regular average deadhead and it would be tough to place this at '95, unless you know the show. It has Jer singing with the confidence of a young man, navigating through Dylan's tune as soulfully and easy as you please. Jewels and binoculars, indeed.
Listen UP.

Best wishes to Phil Lesh.
Almost 25 years ago I broke the story of a rock legend who had developed a passion for esoteric contemporary music, most of it by British composers. More than that, Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead put his money where his heart was.
He sent money to composers and their widows to help get their music recorded. Havergal Brian, Harrison Birtwistle and Robert Simpson were three early beneficiaries.
Phil was modest and unassuming when I tracked him down. He just loved modern music.
I was very sorry to read today that he is suffering from bladder cancer and send him all good wishes. Phil, 75, has cancelled some gigs but says the tumours are non-aggressive and the prognosis is good.
My original exclusive story was published in the Independent, Der Standard, the Los Angeles Times and various other newspapers around the world. You can read it here. http://slippedisc.com/2015/10/sad-news-rocks-classical-sponsor-has-bladder-cancer/

For sure the undead & dead can and do get together. Just last night in New York City
A that all American venue the felt fore arm of the Madison square garden where they grow carrots and coffee beans just the beans, the dead played a concert with some crypt keeper , not Paul Ryan, - John Mayer . So some 70 years olds, thr Dead and the very much alive Mayor of NYC ? Got together.
Now to add to this a member of my family was an eye witness. Not the 25 year old how's birth day I memorialize here and in the proper thread, happy birthday! "They are all gym climbers now Jake"
It was the 84.5 year old bad Mudder! She took the train ride into the shjty and was shocked to find she had to share her train car and in fact her bench seat with a hoard of 30 year old Jerry's kids some who had paid $800.00 for a ticket
and the guy across from her who she said said he had 100 tickets for sale!?.
Now moms as not dressed as the dead heads were for Halloween - but she is a frightening sight and I matinee worse if you are tripping, She stands 4 foot Seven, has twin scares one fresh , running from just under each eye to below her lower lip!
She was bored and miffed at being crowded , then was scared as to what was going on beyond the marathon, Halloween & the World Series . So she pipes up, and asks what is going on? She is met by your friendly opportunistically Bob & Betty dead heads who has all the extra tics, who says " I bet you don't know how the Grateful Dead are"
I'm not sure why she did not get hers self and the birthday boy grandson tickets after all she won the bet, but instead had to be reassured that when at 11 pm on the return trip home she would be alright, or should stay at rad hipsters pad in Brooklyn over night? [Click to View YouTube Video]
The moms story is priceless and shadows my dead fathers flight sitting with that jerball on a shuttle flight, so knowing who Jerry was he spent the flight talking Wagner and the opening of the Seven rings in Vienna that Phill and Jerry had attended but were cruxed - more by the bad German, ( it was hi German / Austrian) than the poor quality of the fancy production that my (heather headed deadhead) father felt was beyond the pale. .

Well I've been enjoying these shows very much.
I'm up to 1980-11-28.
As I thought this show has the old 'The vocals are out of phase'
issue.
The instruments are recorded fine, relatively speaking.
In phase, but the vocals are out.
I've heard this on other recordings from this period.
Like 1980-11-26 and 1981-05-12.
So I just spent some time listening to quick bits from all of the
1980 soundboards that are on The Archive.
I can hear this issue on the built in speakers of my iMac.
The 1980 shows are fine until 5-30 and 5-31.
Those two have overall phase issues that I don't think are
related to this vocal thing.
Then 8-26, 8-27, 8-30, 9-02, 9-04, 11-26, 11-28, 12-26, 12-28,
12-31 all have the vocal issue.
That means it can also be heard on the matrix shares like 1981-02-27.
Not too surprising it's not heard on the multi track recordings from The Warfield and Radio City.
12-13 and 12-14 also do not have the vocal problem.
I'm tired of looking but I'm sure it's on other recordings from this
period.
It's very tricky to fix also. I can do it on my old in the tooth
Pro Tools system but I end up with a mono recording.
You can't just collapse the stereo image though, it takes a lot of
fixing before that.
You would think that if there's a good fix to this issue that
they would have gotten it done right. ???
There may not be any real good fix.
And why did the recordings end up that way in the first place.
Did someone think it sounded cool/good?
They were too high??
I do love the box set though. I couldn't really afford it
but I wasn't going to not buy it.

Someone else will do it, but I just figured out how to record it, so I won't.
Random comments (not mine):
john Mayer was 18 when Jerry died. do you think he ever had a chance to see the Dead?
Grisman and Del McCoury tore it up in Brooklyn tonight! Tough choice with both Phil and Dead & Co in town.

There are lots of "jam bands" out there- all purportedly built on the foundation that the Grateful Dead layed down.
Aside from the improvisational jamming and a fan base that likes to get high and dance, the mostly bear little resemblance or pay little homage.
To me, Ryan Adams has come closest to sounding like the Dead without imitating them.
He played with them and they've picked up some of his songs, but he's kind of a chameleon and his love of the Dead, and how it was reflected in his recordings or live shows, was largely a phase.
His album Cold Roses reflects this period, and is excellent.
His song Cold Roses and this one, Magnolia Mountain, are the best non Dead Dead songs ever, IMO.

Covelocos-
He sure knows his way around the neck of a guitar, that's for sure.
He was able to jam and not get redundant or repetitive, but the sound of the band, overall, was listless...for me at least.
Mayer's work on Stella Blue was some of the best I've ever heard...
But he blew the solo on Brokedown.
That is a clean, concise and beautiful solo that should not be f*#ked with or deviated from, it is played one way and one way only.
Mayer may have shredded it but that's where he lost me.
DON'T TRY AND GET FANCY ON THE BROKEDOWN SOLO!!!!!! :-)

Jerry says to Phil of the ABB on their way to this show: "make sure you check these guys out... they're kinda like us... They jam hard"
Butch joins on drums
Mickey attacks his gigantic gong
Mick Fleetwood and Danny Kirwan "find room to join the festivities"
"It's a surprisingly coherent free-for-all, with five guitarists , four drummers, organ, and Pigpen roaring over it all"
"Gregg takes a verse ... Sounding like a fifty-year-old black man even then."
Pig and Gregg trade vocals
Berry Oakley takes over on bass about halfway through Lovelight as Phil just wants to listen!
"My mind starts to stretch out of shape... everyone on stage is flat-out wailing"
After the show, "I walk outside -- it's daylight, and snow is falling gently on the streets of New York... I grab Bob and Jerry in a group embrace: This is what it's all about."

I was out of the loop on the Dead and company thing. Saw them on New Year's Eve. Wow, what a show!! I'm a huge fan now.
I only saw "The Dead" once. With Warren Haynes. It was good but not amazing. Over the Hills and Far Away cover was very cool.
The Grateful Dead in Santa Clara was very good. Trey is a great fit. But coliseum shows are just too big.
John Mayer was fantastic with the Dead. He brought something new and different. Hearing all those songs with him breathed new life into them. His guitar improvisations were really good. Watching him work with Bob was a treat. They seemed to tighten things up a little. In the past sometimes they jammed a little too long. Bob would motion to John when it was time to move on and John would finish up what he was doing, nod, and they'd move back into the chorus.
The Forum in LA is great now. First time I've been there. They did a great job with the remodel. It's more compact than any other basketball arena I've been to. We scored first row of the upper section right in the middle for only $25 each. Best deal I've had for a concert in ages.
Also first time I've seen a New Year's Eve show. I wanted to do that for ages. It went from 8:30 to 1:30. With a number of breaks. I want to see every New Years show from now on!

Hey The Fet-
Thanks for the review.
I'm sure Dead&co have jelled more since that stream I watched. They're sounding pretty darned good.
Interesting choice, The Forum for NYE.
I saw some insane shows there in the 80s so there's plenty of exploded brain cells and hippie DNA floating around in that place, even after the remodel.
Glad you had a blast.
Covelocos was there too, maybe he'll chime in.
My first bootleg had an incredible Spanish jam, I can still here it now, even though I wore the tape out. Coincidentally, it was Trey Anastasio's first show.
Hartford 10/14/83 (DP#6)
Don't even bother with the 1st set
The second is one of my all time favorites.
If you like early 80s Dead this is a must listen 2nd set

Just got tickets for the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in June in NY.
My parents live nearby, good time to plan a visit!
I'm listening to drljefe's link above right now, so GOOD! The Dead are definitely an acquired taste, not polished pop by any means. But so different than EVERY other band. The way they can segue from a jam slowly into an established song, seemingly knowing what the rest of the band is thinking is wild. It takes the audience a little while to figure out the new song and then you hear the cheers. So cool.
Not to mention being about the only band being so for the fans that they allow tapers, so you can go back and listen to any show you want.

THE CAT RETURNS: More than 20 years after Jerry Garcia played it at his last Grateful Dead show, his famed Doug Irwin Tiger guitar makes an encore appearance with Warren Haynes and the Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration.
By Richard Bienstock | Photos by Jeff Nelson
It’s dusk on a warm evening as Warren Haynes takes the stage at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the famed concert venue nestled in the side of a mountainous rock formation in Morrison, Colorado. The Gov’t Mule and former Allman Brothers Band guitarist is here to lead the Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration, a tour, now in its third year, dedicated to presenting the Grateful Dead frontman’s music with accompaniment from local orchestras.
As Haynes and his band, aided tonight by the Colorado Symphony, break into their set opener, the 1968 classic “Dark Star,” a cheer erupts from the thousands of Rocky Mountain Deadheads in attendance. This initial loud welcome is quickly followed by another, and possibly even louder, ovation, as the crowd acknowledges the instrument strapped across Haynes’ torso. It’s a guitar so mythologized in Grateful Dead lore that it’s known by just a one-word name: Tiger.
“Very few instruments in the world have that sort of connection with an audience,” Haynes remarks to Guitar Aficionado after the performance. “But Tiger is one of those instruments. It’s just so revered in the eyes and ears of Grateful Dead fans.”
Custom-built for Garcia by luthier Doug Irwin over a period of six years, Tiger features distinctively shaped horns, a top and back of deeply figured Cocobolo with layers of maple and vermillion sandwiched in between, and lavish touches like brass binding, detailed pearl adornments, and an ornate tiger image inlaid on the oval preamp cover, below the tailpiece. The guitar served as the Grateful Dead leader’s main stage instrument between 1979 and 1989. As such, it’s revered by the Dead faithful and as recognizable—and perhaps almost as representative of the band—as the dancing bear image or the “Steal Your Face” skull logo.
But there’s another reason why Tiger’s appearance at Red Rocks triggered such an intense reaction from the throng in attendance. The evening’s show took place August 1, on what would have been Garcia’s 74th birthday. It also marked the first time the guitar was played onstage by anyone since Garcia used it to perform “Box of Rain,” the final song of the evening, at his very last Grateful Dead concert. That show, at Soldier Field in Chicago on July 9, 1995, came just one month before Garcia died of a heart attack at the age of 53. That the Dead leader happened to be using Tiger at the time was something of an accident. Garcia’s main guitar in those days, a custom-built Tiger lookalike known as Lightning Bolt, was undergoing repairs on the night of the Soldier Field concert. The instrument he chose to use instead, another custom Irwin creation known as Rosebud, went on the fritz about halfway through the show. Thus, Garcia turned to Tiger to cap the evening—and, as it unfortunately turned out, his 30-year career with the Grateful Dead.
But when Haynes brandishes Tiger at Red Rocks, it’s as if Garcia is right there with him. “The guitar was built for Jerry,” Haynes says. “And it has a voice that instantly reminds people of him.”
Until this night, however, that voice had been silent for more than two decades. How it came to be resurrected is something of a long, strange trip in and of itself, one involving a cast of characters that includes an NFL team owner and a Cy Young Award–winning Major League Baseball pitcher.
Per Garcia’s will, Tiger was returned to Doug Irwin after the guitarist’s death. Wolf, Irwin’s first custom creation for Garcia, came back into Irwin’s possession as well. In 2002, Irwin sold both instruments at auction. Wolf went for $700,000 and has made the rounds on the jam band circuit over the years, appearing in the hands of everyone from Neal Casal, guitarist in the Chris Robinson Brotherhood, to Haynes, who has played the instrument numerous times at Symphonic Celebration shows.
Tiger, which Garcia played for the longest continuous stretch of time for any guitar he used during his career, was sold at auction to Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay for an astounding $850,000 (the final price tag, with commissions, was closer to one million). Irsay, a passionate guitar enthusiast whose expansive private collection boasts such coveted and iconic pieces as Bob Dylan’s “Newport Festival” Fender Stratocaster, Les Paul’s 1954 “Black Beauty,” George Harrison’s 1964 Gibson SG, and, his most recent acquisition, Prince’s yellow Cloud custom guitar, has housed Tiger at his Indianapolis office ever since. The idea to bring the guitar out of retirement came, interestingly, from another sports-world luminary, if an unlikely one: San Francisco Giants pitcher Jake Peavy.
The 35-year-old Peavy is a two-time World Series champion, and he’s a guitarist in his spare time. In 2014, the Boston Red Sox traded him to the San Francisco Giants, and after landing in the Grateful Dead’s Bay Area stomping grounds, he was converted into an unabashed Deadhead.
“The Dead, to me, is a way to be,” Peavy tells Guitar Aficionado at Red Rocks while awaiting the evening’s show. “And the Giants are really married to the Grateful Dead family through things like Jerry Garcia Tribute Night, which we do at the ballpark.” The pitcher, who also runs the charitable organization the Jake Peavy Foundation, conceived of the plan to bring Tiger back to the stage after he and several of his Foundation associates attended one of the Grateful Dead’s 50th anniversary Fare Thee Well concerts last year. “We went to the show, and afterward we were sitting around and saw online that Wolf and Tiger were going to be on display somewhere,” Peavy recalls. “And one of the guys said, ‘Tiger is such an instrumental piece in the band’s history and in Jerry’s history. Wouldn’t it be great to see it played onstage again?’”
Peavy and his team began to seek out anyone who might be able to help with their quest and eventually landed on Chris McKinney, who curates the Jim Irsay guitar collection. “They found me on Facebook,” says McKinney, who traveled with Tiger to Red Rocks. “And honestly, it’s not that Jim had never been interested in doing something like this. It’s more that no one had ever asked.”
After getting the go-ahead from Irsay, McKinney brought Tiger to San Francisco this past May to meet with Peavy and his team. The initial plan, devised by Peavy’s camp, was to offer the iconic guitar to John Mayer, who was in town rehearsing with the recently formed Dead & Company for a summer tour. “But for a lot of reasons, he politely declined,” Peavy says. “Which I completely understand. He has some big shoes to fill, stepping into Jerry’s role in that band. And he’s not trying to be Jerry Garcia. He has his own sound.”
Mayer may not have grabbed hold of Tiger, but during that period when the guitar was in San Francisco several other key figures in the Grateful Dead world did. “I had a small get-together at my house, and guys like [former Grateful Dead road manager and Garcia tech] Steve Parish came, and you could see the whole room shift when he picked up the guitar,” Peavy says. “And we took Tiger to Terrapin Crossroads [the San Rafael restaurant and music venue owned by former Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh] and gave it to Phil to hold, and it was like it brought Jerry back to him. In general, just to witness the emotion that was involved with the people that came and saw this instrument…you know, it’s not normal to see a grown man shed a tear over a guitar. But everywhere we went, you could see the reverence people had for it…”

What's a really good, officially released Grateful Dead CD?
I have a few of them (One from the Vault being really good!), but I want to hear what other good shows I can get on CD.
Merry Jerry!

These are some excellent suggestions.
Because I never ventured to the CO Red Rocks (Sad!), I think that one might get added to the list.
One of my fav's of the Dicks Pix series is #3, one of my favorite eras of the Dead...
And yeah, 12/27/77.... Hahahaha...

I painted this Grateful Dead jean jacket for a friend back in 1985. It came out to be a true masterpiece and one of my finest Jean Jacket works. Probably cost $100 back then.

Saw Bob Weir at the local last night playing with the David Nelson Band. (DN has cancer, BW was covering for him).
They started late, and stopped early. No encore.
BW had zero connection to the crowd. Never aknowledged the audience.
The "word" was he didn't want anyone talking while he was playing, so you were getting constantly shushed by the "heads" for two hours every time you talked to your friends, or even at one point when ordering a drink.
Freak show was abundant. Not impressed by the musicianship, or showmanship.
Thumbs down.
(Hearing some 20 something wanna be hippie talk about her "spiritual experience at the Greatful Dead show last night" made me want to vomit into my coffee this morning)

In terms of making a tour of it > I 'iked' '87 , but it had changed, I think it is a given,, there were shake ups in the entourage.
A place called cafe Bethoven opened, a Queen left the circus. Big " Happy Jack" Gr_ _ _an
Was found dead behind the wheel of his BMW,
am I right (I don't know what's written) were thwarted attempts to try to cure Jerry ?
Did that happene?
All the societal junk ; the flee market transactions had not been able to assimilate.
Scammers, old on young - and - young on old , some times leading an un-aware, brother or sister there to red bus. - or if your travels took you or you, your-self fell prey.
I saw many full crews easily dozens of people leave tour. Many went Phishing but for many 40
Was a cataclysmic re-alignment. As we all had watch our older brothers a SISTERS, both fly and fail, fly away, Crash and make it or crash n' burn. 70 year old Frosted Flakes were stark mirrors, a tapering off at least felt like it was universal.
Things were also weird sad on tour at various venue's
And camps, Juvinile's and Junkies, drama & death rode along, shadowing the habbit had fully frozen out some, and constant medical, re-lapses were often evident rather than the rarity.
As plus to some was the re-entrenchment of chemicals, as X re the old mDma, but te-configured (?) was so not my scene, but it got huge, das boat sails I saw less and less multiples, started to pick a far off California show over 15 east coast shows and always felt well rewarded.

Broadway World: Grateful Dead Musical is in the Works
by BWW News Desk Jun. 5, 2017
Attention all Deadheads! According to an Equity casting notice, a Grateful Dead musical is in the works.
The untitled project is described as: "a new musical comedy, featuring the music of THE GRATEFUL DEAD- a semi-fantastical and immersive Americana tale of the Jones family in 1920's Cumberland, Maryland, as they con, swindle and gamble their way into riches."
Rachel Klein is directing a July reading, with musical direction by Jeff Chimenti.
The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California. Ranging from quintet to septet, the band is known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, psychedelia, experimental music, modal jazz, country, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, and space rock, for live performances of lengthy instrumental jams, and for their devoted fan base, known as "Deadheads".
The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and a recording of their May 8, 1977 performance at Cornell University's Barton Hall was added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2012. The Grateful Dead have sold more than 35 million albums worldwide.

Every year it was so apparent, each encounter from '?. on
was frought with drooling Jerry before shows.
it was sad and his preformance showed,
it slowed the band carried him he never led ,
He always got the top rope treatment
some times they turned him down ,
way don to were he could hear he'd been dropped for the key boards ,
a sacralidge to say
but he'd turned into a junkie
it is sad to see.
Sorry that was not the bump I'd planned to leave!

Rolling Stone: Grateful Dead Movie Meet-Up To Screen Unreleased 1989 D.C. Concert
RFK Stadium show will play in movie theaters nationwide for one night only in August
By Jon Blistein | June 29, 2017
The Grateful Dead will screen their previously unreleased July 12th, 1989 concert at Washington D.C.'s RFK Stadium in movie theaters nationwide August 1st. Screenings for the band's seventh annual Meet-Up at the Movies event will begin at 7 p.m. local time.
Organizers Fathom Events and Rhino Entertainment released a 30-second trailer for the Meet-Up featuring snippets of the Dead performing tracks like "New Minglewood Blues" and "Touch of Grey." A list of participating theaters and tickets are available via the Fathom website.
The 1989 RFK show came in the middle of a busy year for the Grateful Dead, during which they played 74 shows and cemented their place as the third-biggest rock and roll concert attraction after the Rolling Stones and the Who. Still, the band often faced opposition when they rolled through town, including a Washington D.C. councilwoman, who represented the neighborhood surrounding RFK Stadium and lobbied against the show before ultimately reversing her position.
The concert at RFK notably featured a rare first set occurrence, with all four of the Dead's lead singers performing at least one song. During set two, Bruce Hornsby joined the band for two tracks, "Man Smart (Woman Smarter)" and "Sugaree," which also served as an atypical set two opener. The concert film also includes one of the only versions of "Black Muddy River" recorded on video.
Earlier this year, the Grateful Dead celebrated the 40th anniversary of their 1977 concert film The Grateful Dead Movie with a nationwide screening event.
Members of the Dead and John Mayer are currently on tour as Dead and Company. The outfit will wrap their trek with a two-night stand at Wrigley Field in Chicago June 30th and July 1st.

Read Rock Scully's book "Living With the Dead". It turns out these guys are/were just drug- and alcohol-addicted sociopaths preying on young girls and living like kings while their deluded fans worshiped them and lived like the scum of the earth. A colossal waste of time, energy, resources, and young minds! Robert Hunter: "We turned self-indulgence into an art form". That's the truth, except it's not really art (I'll grant there are a few really well-written songs). Listen with an objective ear--the vocals are terrible, the playing sloppy, and the whole thing basically dependent on state-of-the-art sound equipment which YOUR money paid for. The rich get richer, the deadheads stay poor--look at the houses Phil and Bob live in now. They gain the world and lose their souls.
True, but most of us knew and were happy to provide

dude i know jerry.
i am jerry.
f*#king jerry.
what a character.
if he would crawl out from behind the wall paper
he'd be all like,
"don't just f*#king post echoes of what i said (sang!)
i was only trying to encourage the masses to come apart.
so please.
come apart."
because that's beautiful.
when together means trump.
and hate.
and greed.
and ignorance.
you. you person amongst many.
you have an obligation.
to exist.
so do so.
according to your whims.
please.
because this f*#king american society and maybe the world beyond american is only a whisper on the stage of existence.
i think, if i listen real close, even through the amplifiers,
you are saying,
"me. me. me. more for me. i'm scared. i'm hollow. i'm lazy."
no jerry would want us to write something on his thread like,
"life is chocolate, melted into a fluid sauce.
and we are all cookies. dipping. into
life. into the sauce.
dripping goo. and god eats us.
she eats our most sour; most inimate parts."
or perhaps,
"skate your ex-boyfriend."
yea. that's what i did.
the fool treated me poorly.
so i left. then he came calling.
you know, for booty.
so i responded. and met him.
and told him,
"get down on all fours."
he pictured boobies and dripping hoo-hoos.
but i did not bring those to him.
he is a jerk.
instead i skated up to him and popped my girl-ollie
and slid tail side upon his right love handle. and landed
my trick.a
girls are excellent. yes. we are.

"just a guitar player"
-bDylan
“It’s not really me—I don’t design guitars or any of that kind of stuff, since I don’t have that kind of mind. The guy that made this guitar, Doug Irwin, is a luthier, a guitar-builder. His guitars all have great hands. My hand falls upon one of them and it says ‘play me,’ and it’s one of those things not all guitars do. Some guitars definitely don’t do it, but his guitars do that and it’s just a special thing.
"It’s not entirely a matter of balance, it’s not a matter of dimensions, of measurable stuff, it’s something indefinable, but my hand loves it. There’s almost like a physical attraction. The man’s work is museum quality, the workmanship and the detail—it’s a beautiful instrument. But even the aesthetics of it are not what make me like them, it’s just the way it feels in my hand. I don’t know what it is, he doesn’t even know what it is, but he just builds them the way he thinks I would like them, and it works perfectly.” Garcia found Irwin by the same process of serendipity that he uses to explain a lot of the fortuitous coincidences he’s experienced.

In Selvin's estimation, the group made a crucial error in the immediate aftermath of Garcia's death when they retired the name "The Grateful Dead." They compounded it by not actually touring together for three years, a crucial period where Phish was able take much of their audience and become the new kings of the jam-band scene. The 1998 tour (where they were billed as the Other Ones) was done without Kreutzmann, the first of many times one member was on the outs. "There have been six different versions of the group since Jerry died," says Selvin. "They were always shifting. You could never tell who was gonna turn up the next time they played and you could never tell who was gonna choose sides in the middle of an argument."
A key moment came at the end of a 2009 Dead tour when Phil Lesh and his wife Jill decided they wanted to carry on without the drummers. They recruited Weir into a new project they dubbed Furthur, which featured John Kadlecik – the leader of the premiere Grateful Dead tribute act Dark Star Orchestra – as the frontman. "Given his oft-expressed displeasure with tribute bands, Lesh's pick of Kadlecik to join his new band served two purposes," Selvin writes in Fare Thee Well. "It effectively crippled the top tribute band by taking out their guitarist and it signaled Lesh's intent to tool his new band into the ultimate Grateful Dead tribute band."

I loved Furthur. Can't stand Mayer. Think he is a corporate pop star d#@&%e. John K has chops. Saw him play at Terrapin recently, it was great.
Joe Russo's Almost Dead is the best Dead continuation band going right now, IMO.

Have you Mayer detractors been to a Dead & Co. show? Best Dead shows since Jerry died IMO, including Fare the Well.
Mayer has chops. Listen to his blues stuff, or where he emulates SRV, Hendrix, or Clapton. Or listen to him improv with Dead & Co.
I wasn't a Mayer fan until we happened to go to the New Years Eve Dead & Co. show at the LA Forum in 2015. Just wanted a fun new years, and it was awesome. So glad I experienced Dead and Co. on their first tour, been going to a few every year since.
Went to the Dave Chappelle and John Mayer Controlled Danger show in San Fran a few weeks back. Sides hurt from laughing so much.

Dark Star Orchestra tonight at Libbey Bowl in Ojai. Interesting that Phil plucked John Kadlecik aka “Fake Jerry” for Furthur. Having seen Furthur, Kadlecik’s band the Golden Gate Wingmen, and Trey with Fare Thee Well in Santa Clara and Chicago, I think that Mayer is still missing the mark.
Kadlecik is closest to honoring Jerry without faking it. Trey was in over his head and didn’t really hit it until four days in. Mayer, bless his heart, is giving it his all.

If you do not think john Mayer is a great fake jerry, you likely do not have satellite radio tuned to tonite’s broadcast from alpine valley.....
Seen a lot of fake Jerrys over the years. One of which claims to have invented the term.

I'm hearing a lot of naysayers on current members on whether or not their up to the task, for better or worse. Take it easy. I'm glad the soul isn't Dead too. I hope it never is. It's not the music or the members of the band, it's the soul of the experience and being with the family altogether; that's what makes it happening and important to all of us.
I'm headed down to Eugene with my two daughters (15 & 18; talked them into it- 1st show) for the 30th. Hoping that a special moment will present itself, whether it's in the parking lot or during the encore; just hope it happens.

Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if Trey Anastasio would have taken over for Jerry in 1995. In 1995 Trey was the most powerful rock guitarist on the planet. By 1999 he had soul dropping from his fingers

I've never understood The Dead. Either you like it or you don't. I don't. I think it's awful. I grew up in a musical family. I'm a musician. I worked in record stores around LA in my teens and early 20s. I've been to all kinds of concerts from jazz to punk. In the mid 1980s a girl friend took me to see The Dead at Laguna Seca. I had heard what great musicians they were (are) but seriously....it was hard to take. The tempo changed randomly, they were drifting in and out key (and interest) as they droned on and on. No one seemed to notice or care. The rest of it was pretty cool-Los Lobos rocked, lots of drugs and uninhibited hippy chicks. I went to another show in the East bay that was worse. The sound was horrible, why were so many people taping it and writing down the set list? It seems like if you were a fan you'd want to forget about it. I walked out.

The dead is an acquired taste for many fans. The first show I went to I only knew about 1/4 of the songs and I thought the jamming went on way too long especially drums and space. I wasn’t really impressed. But The more I learned over the decades the more I came to appreciate them. They played their songs differently every night. Some nights were better than others, that’s the nature of risk taking and improvisation, and there were times when Jerry was too wasted. But when they would come and play 3 nights in a row you could go to every night and it was always something new. They had hundreds of songs they actively played and you never knew what you’d hear. I came to learn and love dozens of great songs you’ll never hear on the radio. Most of the time I’d see them their sound was great, if you were out in the back in big venue with the house sound system it could be not good but up near the stage they took great care in having good sound quality.

That is a good example, a great set list of a second night show. Already a bunch of nights into a run, of a long tour. so it was by some accounts a "lesser show". A condition that could switch from 1st show in a city or the 2nd night or a run of less than stellar shows in a row.

There is no accounting for taste. As with beauty it helps if you find the package appealing, but love happens the Grateful gnow the dead happens too. If you only value a tertiary experience in your live music, you won't build the appreciation, of the accessibility in the same way. For many of us of a certain age, at the time & for decades there was no other band that did what the Dead did with the same results. Even by the fool fan clubs of the day, it was all new, derived from the "Beats" & the Jazz age, coffee houses & Folk-music. Then there was all the party stuff & the idea to caravan across country show to show, every show, eventually expanding across the globe; following a musical act!,

Speaking of the balance, ((()))&completely ignoring Florida, Boston, NNew Mexico,Arizona, Las Vegas, Kentucky . . . .)
in the weeks that follow,
the copy bands do well up & down the east coast.
There has been a new surge in faithfuls
willing to have fun, to the familiar tunes
Blues In E play'd loud, enough , , ,
So the better skilled bands need to stand out-

I saw Melvin Seals with JGB in Auburn, CA a couple weeks ago. Fantastic show. I met John Kadlecick as well. Super fun.
Edit to add: That 1985 Richmond show on zBrowns list is smoking. Dicks Picks Vol 21 is that show. Rocking Jack Straw at that one. Pretty sure my Dad was there.

A friend of mine was the stage/production manager of String Cheese Incident (more Blue Cheese Accident) but he got hooked up by the Furthur guys with access to some data base vault of all of the recorded Dead shows as well as JGB shows. Filled up a terabyte hard drive. Pretty fun picking through it.

Dear East Coast Fan Boys,
What do we think of parking lot swindlers and drug dealers?
I like the Dead but cmon boys, it was fun but only okay musically.
Just look at the poor confused dancers. If you can call it that.
Trey? Phish isn't real music. They are a continuation of the wasteoid part of the dead. The Jambasturbation of, by and for drug casualties.
Move on

here is another amazing 73 show,5/26/73. All that & jaunty, fast, 1st set & inspired TLEO,
https://youtu.be/xP2hWww9yww
flip flop
what can I say?
J.Donnini dislikes the Dead, so does my wife.
It is the soundtrack of my life
The songs often speak to me, lyrically
the visceral drums, a thing I can do without.
but would never want to take out, it adds to the whole.
Bobby is a slum-lord & a pig, his screaming was always flat
& down right off the charts more times than not
Jerry is dead & was the walking dead for a decade.
It was beyond sad it was a pathetic circus of the damned
if you sat back looking for any redeeming qualities,
you wouldn't find any, not a one that wasn't tainted in some way.
I hate that some grimy deadhead might,
by way of nice music, get to put their paws on my kids,
it is my fault for letting it into my families life.
I tried to get them climbing too. That worked out the way I'd not planned,
they both grew out of it. that makes me even sadder.
There is no way to defend it, the scene was more often than not
Juveniles & junkies, getting over on one another , spreading darkness.
some hated the noise called it the sounds of strangled cats.
Flip flop, yeah I can agree, whatever it was?
it was not about high quality.
IT NEVER WAS ABOUT THE CRAFT OR THE CRIME!
(or it was all about the crafts and the pass the time)
Both of which can be pointed to as proof that
it was the real miracle that it happened at all
And more over it never stopped
No, & more often, it made it across the globe,
What it was, it was.
a happening that kept on truckin`
over & over
& over again.
I would sleep through shows
I could make money, legally
I could feel like Never Again
& be off the tour for years Then get dragged back in for one more.
&
I never kid myself on what a total waste it was, I wish I'd climbed more instead.
It was the apathetic mix of juveniles & Junkies that brought it all down in the....
wait there are more than 8 copy-cat type band$?
I guess there really is no accounting for bad taste,
(Look who got to steal the elections)

Hey Flip Flop, who ever said anything about Phish being a good band? As far as trying to convince someone that doesn't like the Dead or think they were talented to appreciate them is wasted energy. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Yours is wrong but it's your opinion. 😃

Somebody foisted Trey.
I like the Grateful Dead music.
And the hacky sacking.
Not the uptight fan boys and wannabe hippies in parking lots.
I like dirt not scum
Drugs ruined the band and the scene
Maybe you opine otherwise but i'll win by a sweeping majority opinion.
Hey Gnome, I hope that my kid is too well adjusted to be a climber. Climbers are nutso and overcompensating for messy stuff. Don't be sad because you didn't raise misfits. Remember that we are crazy.

Yes Filp, & as you say.
so already know, good for you to see it for what it is.
There is a whole world of challenges to help prepare kiddos for
To guide them through without increasing the chances of setbacks & broken necks.
Climbing, 10-week long road-trips, touring chasing the same thing over & over again (a definition of crazy)
as much as it was good for me, and taught me survival instincts that I needed to make it out from under.
I choose to hold the young'ins up.
To, protect them from both strangers by pointing out signs & from those who would do them harm by a negative influence.
I will try to help them launch.
being a yo-yo, if you have that sort of backing has no value
9/2/80 Rochester war memorial,
an overlooked gem of a show,
Skip to the very end, number 20, (54 seconds long)' as they break into (number 21); Iko, that then flows* into Morning Dew.
(*DoH?! there is a distinct skip of some heavy bass notes in this version)
Then if your a deadhead , check out the whole show.

Thanks for the shows everybody, some really interesting tracks.
As for the kids...wow the fear is real. I wish I knew the best way to keep them safe. From ill-intentioned men, abusive "friends", texting while driving, fall on rock inadequate protection, powerfully addicting drugs.
The thing is that for many of these things they don't really get a chance to make small mistakes, see what happens, then adjust behavior (i.e. learn). There's no "intermediate feedback" so to speak, either nothing bad happens or it's a catastrophe.
If I think about it too much it is overwhelming. But at the same time people do manage to survive all these perils. Still wish could keep them from having to suffer. I guess that's pretty natural as a parent. I'm all ears if any of you have good advice.
Gnome did you ever take them to shows?

Did I take them to shows? No
But, 'fake' shows for a few hours
& Not just I , We
For the last few years we go to a small local outdoor gathering where the tribute bands play all day, 12pm, ending at 9pm.
(there was one 2 day event)
the Wife barely tolerates the "noise". She is so straightArrow (now) and matron-ly in appearance she casts her vibe...
What scares me the most is that my daughter loves it. My son his mother's son sits by mom with a pained look matching hers.
Made in the shade with that 1 so far, that scares me too
(Lifes roller coaster has been good so far...)
That Is the only way I could figure out how to protect them. Show them all the warts and pitfalls. The passed-out drunken sots.
Sometimes by the over-flowing dumpsters... Lost souls under arrest... Wild-eyed trippers screaming out the wrong words...
& happy hacky-sak playing hula-hoop wearing barely dressed Tye-Dyed mess.
Trying to pre-load them, teach them the golden mean, and that there is no need to fear if you only share with family who care .
That No One can be trusted when it comes to imbibing anything.
& that it is more fun with your wits about you & with you & ears stuffed to protect from the always too loud "noise" .
That way the 1st time they go with others, they will get a headache if nothing else.
You can not save them forever but I'm going to give them a road map and sleep on their dorm room floors for the 1st year of college!

The Dicks picks is listed at 4 minutes:(but it's shorter/ the dancing video is 3:48+)

ha! (both work, gratefully)
As I saw that and thought zB's was an excellent observation,
so I checked. Sure 8nough, the date a late '91 show, the location; Boston & the lyrics fit.
The time was a bit off-(D.Wolf=3:36 vs dancing=3:48+)
play with it, but I found for the best fit; for the syncopation of it
start the dancing above 1st, turn off the sound, hit play on the Dicks pick share, , ,

That was my first sense that there are things in this world that are really weird, and there are people who are concerned with them. I think that sounds like fun.” Here

The question came up on the speakers for mastering thread, creating a new thread to keep the noise down in the other thread. The ask was for commercial CD strategy which is just a part of my overall data strategy.
I started with 12 drawers of CDs, drawers designed to hold 270 normal sized CD cases. I had up to 3 discs per CD case so actually stored 600 to 700 CDs in each drawer.
I am down to 200 live shows (300 CDs?) to rip and tag plus probably another 200 commercial CDs.
I did not have the money to buy a NAS, or even a set of bays and build on from their so my system has evolved over time.
I currently store all my grateful dead on a 4 bay 2 TB OWC raid device that I bought used 7 or so years ago. Windows 10 does not have a driver so my pc is at Windows 7. I plan to buy 2 of the 10 TB external drives that are quickly dropping in price to replace this
I have 4 6TB external drives used in pairs of 2.
2 contain tagged and cataloged sources for my Classical, Jazz and Rest where Rest is every other performer.
2 contains all my tagged and cataloged Garcia sources and various untagged sources from vines such as the jazz,bluegrass, classical and Peter Rowan. i try to tag 10 of these a week.
I have 2 smaller internal drives that contain all my video as well as my current untagged and uncatalogued sources (downloads), down to about 15 shows.
I also have 4 4TB portable drives that I keep in my work bag. These travel with me all of the time and is what I typically use at work.
1 contains most of my grateful dead. Not concerned about the lesser versions of shows as I can always grab them from the LL archive.
1 contains my tagged and cataloged garcia and jazz.
The remaining 2 have Rest A thru M and N thru Z. I do not have any of the vine sources on these drives.
Every week i probably tag and catalog 30 to 50 sources, a mixture of downloads, vines and commercial rips. For example yesterday I tagged 8 GD shows, 6 garcia shows and ripped 6 Rory Gallagher CDs. As i tag I copy/ move to the appropriate devices
As much as I would like a NAS, i am OK with this set up, possibly forever. External and portable drives are getting bigger, faster, cheaper.
Quote from: eddiegeeeee on 5 hours ago
Do folks have a most preferred brand in terms of reliability?
WD-Reds seem to be the go-to.
I have two 8TB Reds (5400 RPM vs the 7200 for large file storage) internally mounted in my primary Linux box. They're configured RAID 1 and run by the OS. I get consistent 140+MB/sec transfer rates onto the RAID and it serves music and HD video flawlessly.

Just a fun story.
I was at a three show run of Furthur in Broomfield, probably 2011. My friend and I were all spun after the show at a hotel, finally decided to get a cab back to our hotel. Some old timer-ish dude picks us up. He had the Dead playing quietly in the town car. My friend asks him, "Is that 'Visions?' Driver cuts him off. "Of Johanna?" and cranked the volume. Had a great sound system too. Missed our turn to the hotel and told us he would knock a few bucks off the fair. I told him we would probably just wait in the car at the valet till the song finished, which we did. Paid the fare and threw him a twenty. Best damn cab ride ever.
