Grateful Dead

Glad its over. Last year I was looking forward to the 50th and then the train wreck left the station. Didn't even want to go and turned down way overpriced tickets 3 times. Listened to all the streams THANKS TAPERROB! and glad I didn't go although a lot music was GOOD, a little bit was even GREAT! The people I know that were at the show that never saw the GD thought it was awesome! My tour buddies from the old days were 50-50. At best they thought it was OK and the rest said it wasn't like the old days in any form, shape or fashion.I hope everybody that went had a great time and enjoyed themselves. I cant wait to go see the GD cover bands like Phil and Friends, Ratdog and or whatever... I just hope they don't turn into a Beatles cover band like Furthur did for awhile! Hopefully I can FTW now in the way FTW should be! Peace ChesterC and Truckineric and all you little zoners out there!!!!

pretty darn amazing, wasn't it?

And equally thankful... Thank you Grateful Dead for filling the first 38 of my 55 years with song. Thank you for three tremendous FTW's in Chicago. Each night special and memorable. Thank you to Dead.net, Mary, and all the folks behinds the scenes here. Thank you to Elvis and the good folks at GDTS. Thank you to my incredible Sunshine Daydreamer family. And thank you for my wife for living through this entire journey. Micky said it best with his message last night - be kind...be kind to one another. I'm all-in.
