    Its all over now..
    Went to all 5 shows and enjoyed them all.Far from perfect but so were most of the 150+ shows I saw with Jerry. Crowds were great in both cities with people looking after each other "ALWAYS A HOOT"!

    Uncle John"s Band
    I am proud to be a part of this Visionary Journey since 1972. Bringing me places, i would never have anticipated in a trillion year's, scanning the entire Planetary Atmosphere and then safely returning as a new born baby with a gleaming smile on my face. For the past 43 year's, i have been riding the Greatest Wave that ever hit this beloved earth. To be a Dead Head is to be enlightened with infinite wisdom that penetrate's your entire inner being, forming a spiritual attraction to other's of like mind who all have one common denominator. A sound like no other, born into being by the Star's, from a bunch of boy's with a passion to drive it into oblivion. "God Bless The Grateful Dead, and to the best and kindest people i know, the Dead Head's, The Chosen One's, the Children of God, the Generation of Love. From San Fransisco to Soldier Field, 53 year's later, we put to rest, one of our own, honoring our beloved hero, Jerome Garcia, the leader of Uncle John's Band. To say we miss you, is an understatement, It will never be the same. I will tell my story someday when i am 90, of how i danced and sang! Of driving all night with my best friend halfway across the United States to Red Rocks, Colorado and witness The Wall of Sound, or to just driving over to the Keystone in Berkeley and for $5, standing one foot away, watching Jerry, in awe, play the best steel guitar, with Merl Saunders, and the Legion of Mary. To the closing of Winterland, Bill Graham, Alpine Valley, the Avalon Ballroom, Fillmore West, Golden Gate Park with free concert's on a Sunday, Buffalo, Greek Theatre, Bob Dylan and the Dead, i could go on forever. For everyone who made last night a reality, I thank you, you gave me peace, and reminded me once again, how Great, The Grateful Dead really are. May God Bless You All. I cannot thank you enough. woo, woo, well i want to know, is are you kind

    Great set of shows
    I went with no expectations except to have a good time and that was accomplished.Santa Clara on Sat was enjoyable for many reasons including sharing it with my family and friends. All 3 soldier field shows I was solo and front row center, being able to watch these guys that close is amazing and something I never get enough of. I was lucky enough to score a pass that got me into the stadium very early and saw most the sat and sun sound checks, I can't tell you how special those moments were as there were only 5-10 people watching along with staff and security. I plan to post some video but I did not take much and it did not seem like the thing to do. I was capturing the moment. My wife suggested I share so here I am.
