Grateful Dead

It's a little-known fact that the animal known as Daddy Long-Legs is NOT in fact a spider, but rather is an insect . . .

[in DeadheadBrewer voice]: That is true--count the legs next time you encounter one (or thousands, crawling all over your tent). Daddy Long-Legs have but six.

5/11/77 St. Paul civic center, St. Paul,MN from the 1977 boxset, Primo performance from the band, love the ‘Peggy o version, just love it! 🙏❤️😎💀🌹💀🌹

My friend's step-father passed away New Year's Day morning, and the entire family was there. My friend commented on how special and amazing the bedside time was, what with all the stories, jokes, and tears.

Sunday evening my friend and I were lamenting that we were a titch too young to have seen Talking Heads on the Stop Making Sense tour. Then I come on here and everyone else is lamenting that, too! :) There are too many great classical and jazz artists that I would love to go back and see, so if I limit it to rock-n-roll, non-GD division, then I'm thinking about Joni back in the early 70s. And I would have loved to have seen The Boss touring for his first two albums, with Vini "Mad Dog" Lopez and David Sancious making things "swing." I love later Bruce, too, but nothing gets me like those first two albums, before the rhythm section went to straight and heavy fours.

Saw Phish play for 100 people at the Cabooze in Minneapolis in October 1991. And one time at a tiny jazz club in Saint Paul, the bartender came up at set break and asked us to welcome some friends of the owner who were in town. It was a quiet Tuesday, so there were about fifteen of us in the audience. These five 60-ish guys come up, dressed like middle management from 3M or Target (big MN corporations), and proceed to play some top-notch blues. After they climbed down, the bartender came back up and said, "The Steve Miller Band, Ladies and Gentlemen." Steve and company had played the MN State Fair the night before . . .

p.s. Oh, yeah. I saw String Cheese Incident play for about six of us at a little bar in Dillon, Colorado, maybe around 1994?

... my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of healing, peace be with you & God bless my brother.🙏❤️😢

Too funny. Not to make light of your predicament, but because many of us have been there...and at least a few have probably “missed” the big one on occasion. Hell I don’t remember much from that tour and I wasn’t tripping, though I felt upon leaving Hampton like I was micro dosed? Perhaps just all the energy and/or a contact buzz?
Hopefully then all the more reason for you to enjoy the release!
But a, sorry, did you mean you erected (yuck, yuck) an actual tent, or “you” were pitchin’ a tent, lol, sorry, I have this visual of some poor bastard laying down on his back, trippin balls, with this beatific smile and.......”shwing”

I was there but dont remember most of it. I tried mushroom tea from some chick next to my cutlass and was staring at the top of the tent I had pitched in the parking lot because I was always a lightweight with psychedelics. Man, that was some heavy trip.

Sorry about your dad.

All blessings to you and your family

Tanks, good to be back!
Fall 89, wooohooo...go Vikes!
One of the reasons I love being a Deadhead, misfit Power and rootin’ for the underdogs.

Interesting interview for sure.

Edit; if I told ya all that went down it’d burn off both your ears.....very fortunate over the years...

Our Deepest condolences to your family.
Sounds like y’all were able to be there for him and each other and that hopefully his being at rest now can bring at least a little peace to you. Lost Mom 3 years ago and fear Pops is heading that way. Misses lost both Hers years ago and Mr Ones post reminded me of how she still feels all these years later....so though these are difficult times, please know we’re all with ya!
May the four winds blow him safely home.
