Grateful Dead

Hello again folks. Was going through some more boxes in my music room again this afternoon and found a couple of complete 1977 Winterland box sets I’m going to be selling, if anyone interested drop me a message. And also still have a complete 2019 Dave pick series collection looking for grateful homes along with the 1977 Boxsets my brothers & sisters .

Sorry to hear about your Dad. I'm sure your presence is a great comfort for him, probably more than any of us can imagine. Take care!

Thank you for the kind words. I sent you an email. If you get a chance to read it, would be great to hear from you, whatever your situation may be.

And as far as Lindley Meadow goes - man, I love the extra volume and fuzz coming from Jerry. I wonder if he was still on the Wolf from '74 or already on the Travis of '76.... There was a rumor that Lindley Meadows was played through another band's rig that day, after the Dead blew up an amp or two.

The spirit displayed here is incredibly comforting and genuinely appreciated.
To All, Thank you.
Sincerely.

Skulltrip - your presence will be missed, as rightfully noted.
Goodbye just for now; not forever.

Cheer and Warmth to Everyone
Sixtus

Till we meet again . . .

Sixtus, very sorry to hear about your father. Always difficult, but especially so during this time of year. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Skulltrip...safe travels brother...may the four winds blow you safely home!

Attended the funeral for a good friends mom yesterday as well. My friend was the one who turned me on to The GOGD many years ago in high school. RIP “Denni”.....close the gap of the dark years...

Whenever the "time" comes, here's to an eyes wide open trek into realms unfettered by TIME. Too bad we only "met" on these pages, but you have become a virtual brother anyway. Onward my friend! –Jeff

Man, all my best to you. You are a solid, knowledge and generous guy. We all hope we will hear from you again. Hang in there!

Best

Sorry to hear.. Wishing the best.

Man, life's a funny thing. Depending on how you look at it, of course. Personally, I've always tried to see the punchline in any given moment. I think that's what helped me survive as long as I have. Never really taking this long strange trip too seriously. Even when some seriously serious shit has happened. Which it routinely does, and recently has.

As the good Dr. Thompson so famously said, "Buy the ticket, take the ride". Well, it's been one hell of a ride, and I'm deeply grateful for all of it. I was blessed with some pretty wonderful experiences and accomplishments along the way, my son at the top of them all. And I got to meet quite a few of my heroes, Spielberg among them. Oh, and Garcia, too. At the top of the Ritz Carlton in New York City after the Dead's Madison Square Garden show on 10/19/94. Chatted for a while, then shook his hand. Didn't come down for weeks off of that high.

But it looks like the time has come for me to move on. The undiscovered country from which no visitor returns and such.

Before I go though, there are a few folks here who I want to thank:

Angry Jack Straw: cool as balls, this guy. And also my virtual eye-roll partner when shit has gotten really weird or childish on this site. Appreciate the offline banter, good sir. And also the copy of Dave's 1, my favorite show.

KeithFan: a genuine and sincere human being who jumped on the chance to share the coveted 9/28/75 Golden Gate Park show with me. One that I routinely listen to, btw. Every time Cosmic KeithFan pops up in rotation on the 2019 bonus disc, it always makes me smile, smile, smile.

Bolo: whose surreal release clues never failed to make me scratch my head in frustrated amusement, and whose occasional comments on my posts meant more than he probably realized.

DeadVikes: another genuine cat, whose chats about shows and eras I really enjoyed. Wish I'd pursued more of them.

SpaceBro: who drove me fucking crazy most of the time, but whose passion for his favorite era is unmatched by anyone on this site. Hats off for sticking to your guns, bro. And for finding a way to make Marvin the Martian part of the Dead lexicon for me.

I've been on this site for ten years now, under one avatar or another. And, like any family, it's delighted me and exasperated me in equal measure. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way though.

Except for CAPTCHA. What a fucking nightmare. I will NOT miss those bikes and buses and traffic signals and cars and crosswalks.

Love and light to all of you.

Keep on truckin' as long as you can.
