Grateful Dead

Tonight at 8PM local time, there will be a full moon over Soldier Field while the crew finalizes the stage.I can't help but think with all the talk of rainbows that the moon on the first show will be nearly full, rising above the lake. The moon rises over the lake at 9:36PM. It should be 98% full at that time. Look east (Towards the lake) probably during set break. Last night's moon was beautiful. It got very cold here last night. It is supposed to be nice this weekend, but please remember that Soldier Field is literally on Lake Michigan and weather can change here in an instant. I am so excited to see the boys play one last ride.

let Trey sing more!!!!!!!!!

SC shows were great - especially Sunday. But I really got bummed on Saturday when, right during the rainbow and flaming red skies, the band abruptly took a break after playing an hour first set! Sorry - but it is inconceivable that they didn't seque into a song (wake of the flood? Estimate prophet?) and acknowledge Jerry in some way at that inspirational moment! How did they not take advantage of what nature was handing to them? Go off-script a little. My guess is they were struggling musically during that first set and had to regroup - which they certainly did. But that moment was a real letdown - not just to me but to many others around me. Just sayin I'm surprised no one has mentioned that, cause I heard a lot of grumbling at the time. Anyway no one's perfect and it was a great weekend overall! Here's to no let downs in Chicago!
