Grateful Dead

Was wondering what would show up for my birthday today. Seeing Uncle John's Band just put a big smile on my face! One of my very faves.

Then I started listening and, HAH!, had to laugh at all the flubs with lyrics, and wrong chords, and verses. Seemed to take "God damn!" to bring them back. And then, Jerry's beautiful solo coming out of it, and the rest of the song...pretty sweet. Then they blasted out of it like no other ending I've ever heard. Thinking about it, it's kinda like my life....flubs & turns & twists, becoming quite beautiful over time, and well, not sure about the blast off part yet!

A long ago memory...I remember sitting on the floor with friends listening to this album over & over in the summer of 1970 when it 1st came out, reading every word on the album cover (remember when we used to do that!), listening so close. Then hearing it again & again on KSAN, the radio station of such a special time & place. It'd just catch my ear every time, and it's wafted thru my life ever since.

Wo-oh, what I want to know, where does the time go?
So much gratitude for the band, for all of you, for this life, for the smiles!

made for a quick find. there are some other killer highlights at this show worth a listen.
we're running out of time already. wow. wish January and February went by this fast

Donna narrows it.
Coder nails it!

Apropos of nothing, does anyone know an early 70s show where Bobby yells "Knickers, knickers!" I remember it but I can't recall the show at all.
OK, for those of you who think that's too much, it's just for anyone lingering late in the game looking so deal with it. But I am serious about trying to remember where Bobby said it!

I was lucky enough to be at the Warlocks show that brought the song back after 17 years and then the Charlotte show a couple weeks later.
Today's version is quite beautiful, as they all are.

I dont have the words to adequately describe Hunters lyrics . This song has meant many different things to me over time.

When I had no wings to fly, you flew to me.
