The bus came by. We got on. That's how it all began.
Almost as soon as the Fare Thee Well shows were announced, folks started planning to meet in Chicago.
They met. They connected. Things were never the same.
And now, further!
Or maybe Furthur.
@Boo Boo buddy

The Daydream Continues!
Can't believe it's been over two years since Sunshine Daydreamers started hopping on this bus! What a long strange trip it's been! Onward indeed!
LikeToHike's got my vote for new bus driver. Look forward to more white-knuckled, free-wheeling, cryptic, sleight-of-hands bus trips through the cosmos. (I know I've already said) ONWARD!
@Bus Stop
@JeffSmith, I accept your nomination...this calls for a song!

Hear the music, the ripples that ring.

Happy Birthday Terrapin, and welcome aboard one and all.
In the > caret
To coin a phrase.
When my nephew was recounting his adventures in the pit at Wrigley (a month ago already?), he was talking about the time between Scarlet and Fire. Lacking better terminology, he said, “We were in the caret”, as in the > symbol used in setlists.
I know all of you have been “in the caret” at some point.
Happy Friday....
It soothes my soul to see so many old faces....ummmm make that avatars back here. This forum has been invaluable in offering me smiles, laughs and some much needed support over the past two years...Have a great weekend, I'm going back to the >, it is indeed a sweet spot.....kinda like the Philzone...
@Friday is Fun
Hey Now Daydreamers dis dus is rockin' and rollin' down the road...quickly approaching August...you know what that means....
The Days Between!
We miss Jerry on this Bus, yes we do...
Who's going to Meet up at the Movies....raise your hands/paws...
Have a great weekend all...enjoy the last days of July.
@missing Jerry....
I know...
Meet up at the movies is on my radar, funny thing it's on August 1, 2017....funny coincidence?
Ohhhhh I get it, it's to celebrate mkav's wife's birthday, boy that is sooooo thoughtful of them....
HEY MRS. MKAV HAPPY BIRTHDAY! from the dog and me.....
the Days Between, I can feel some songs coming on the horizon....
the wheels on this bus sure do go round in circles indeed!
You got that right,
Liketohike, Liketobrivebadus, and liketosmile,
We be celebrating the past, honoring the present and anticipating the future, as all of it makes up the magic carpet we find ourselves on.
So many ways to communicate, so many ways to share, so many ways to smile. Good to see you and you and you on board...pets, parts, and participles, the rising sun being blue, the sky a vivid yellow, ba dus crammed with laughter and song...and donuts, always those pesky donuts and coffee too. Got a spot for all...we miss Jerry but remember his smile.
Destinations unknown by some, imagined by others, and a planned by those whose wheel stopped revolving long enough to score tickets. All share in the journey, all welcome aboard. Know that these wheels slow down for caret crossings, stop on a diner's dime, and have been known to circle back as needed. Price of admission is a hoot and a holler, or a flashing peace sign and smile. So pay at the door, pay it forward, put it on the tab, it don't matter a bit. Your seat is reserved always and forever.
Allllll aboarrrrrddddd!!!
@ 7-12-89
Was a good show on a fine tour but, outside on the road the police were on the hunt for heads, fortunately I left late in my '70 VW camper, but we saw so many folks pulled over it was sick, it was one of two years in a row they pulled that crap, so bad the Dead's newsletter that came with mail order tickets warned of the situation.
We are headed to the show, hopefully no presence after.......
Happy Birthday wishes to Ms. Mkav and also to a certain retired Dus Briver......
@Boo Boo buddy from Ralph Cramden
So at the Burgettstown show this June, whatever lot we parked in, the local 5-0 had drug sniffing Rin Tin Tins, we were tailgating and minding our own business, this Narc comes by with Lassie who starts sniffing me n my buddies. Well all we had was in the closed car, they proceeded to the hippies to our left, a sweet lady and her friends. Said dog sniffed her, whimpered, cop asks her to empty her pockets, she pulls out a lighter, bones and a bag of herbage. He grabs her, cuffs her and takes her away. Ain't that a fucking shame.
Hey Boo Boo, thanks for remembering!
7-12-89 was indeed a great show....
Hey Sarge, no more Vicodin!
@Ralphie baby
Thanks to your heads up regarding the situation at Burgettstown we avoided the heat, but they sure did have a strong presence
cuffed and dragged away for a few bones, WTF
and all the real criminals are wearing white shirts and suit coats....
and we can't forget birthday wishes and thoughts for the one we miss........
Dereck and the Dominos released on vinyl today and Jerry's Reflections as well
@Derek and the Dominoes
Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs on vinyl?
I'm on that like white on rice.....
it's my favorite album of all time, if I had only one to bring to a desert island, that's my pick....
Dereck on vinyl
Music Direct gets the first allotment from Mobile Fidelity, so the earlier presses and ships a day or two before anyone else, I pre-ordered and it shipped today, Happy Friday, oh yes!
@ they say it's yer birthday
mrs mkav (who is Mary, so maybe she is THE mkav?) says thank you to all the birthday well-wishers, and back atcha Rich.
@Kurt
It certainly is...dis dus stops on a dime...as Geo has pointed out, and it's known to circle back to pick up those we may have missed. Climb aboard and take a seat...Hey Sarge...pass the bone to Kurt Dawg...and keep em comin'.
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend...come inside, come inside...
Lyrics I've just "heard" for the first time
Sell everything;
without love day to day
insanity's king.
I miss Jerry
Happy 75th brother....
nothing left to do but smile, Smile, SMILE!!!!!!
:-)
@Playing in the Sand...
Hey Now Marye - we took the plunge today. It's nearly sold out too, in less than 1/2 a day.
Only unanswered question is the show dates (three shows over four days). Doesn't matter...we're stoked for 6 days and 5 nights of intimate Dead, on-the-beach. Should be pretty cool.
Any SD'ers bringing their flip-flops?
the movies
Did any body go the movie last night?
Our local theatre needs a sound system update, ceiling speakers don't cut it.
@Boo Boo buddy
Tell them to get some KEFs....
or better yet, Bose
:-)
They oughta
...pave paradise, ta heck with that old theater...

Jerry's BD Celebration at Red Rocks

because there is Strength in Numbers, and it's Saturday, pass the biscuits please, and thank you for a real good time.
What's the number Kenneth?
I am putting finishing touches on a presentation about the Dead phenomenon, and realized I have never seen an estimate of the number of Dead Heads that exist.
Has anyone seen anyone try to SWAG this?
@what's the frequency Kenneth...
Tom the answer is n+1, where n = the number of deadheads
If it's a multiple choice, pick B for Bertha....
infinitely infinite
interesting question...what do you define as deadhead? i know plenty of people who like the dead, have more than a passing knowledge of the dead's work, and may have even been to a few shows, but probably would not consider themselves "deadheads". Would you, for this purpose?
Touch of Dead
I feel ya, mkav. Maybe its like a weighted FTE measure to account for people who are Dead-curious.
The alternative, strict, way to go is to say, you are a Head when you are ready to declare that as an identity.
And thanks Rich for, well, you know, being ... rrrgrr
But the simple questions is, does an estimate exist?
it should be a census category.
But I now believe we're now off the endangered list.
We Will Get By...
Tom check out this link
http://ure.uncg.edu/prod/cweekly/2015/06/23/rebecca-adams-deadheads/
All I know is I miss Jerry....
SWAGs a lot
Very round, unsupported number in that article on the UNC prof.I guess we will have to develop our own methodology.
@scientific method
Valid point Tom. How about this...
will anyone who is a deadhead please raise your hand....
now all you have to do is count them.
