Grateful Dead

Yes, email received this morning. Tracking number is not a lnk this time, only text.

....nope.

received a shipping notification yet for this one?

That's my recollection too Vguy, haven't been there in a long time. Only the lower area of the lawn has good views iirc, must set up early. Last show there, Santana back in the 80s, used to live near Rutland, a lot closer to NY. Now 6 hour round trip from home and local hotels already booked because of summer traffic. Perhaps they do something in Burlington after this tour, still a home base for them.

....the Waterwheel Foundation is legit. I donate from time to time.
Pretty awesome move by those nerds from VT.
Btw. Dennis. Rumors swirling that Picture Of Nectar vinyl will be restocked and available next week.
Lawn Boy is up again NOW at Dry Goods.
Never been to SPAC DMCVT, but I hear the lawn is wayyyy too steep and the pavilion blocks the sight lines. No Bueno.
I fell into Phish hard after Garcia passed. No regerts.
Been thinking about getting a low key tattoo on my leg of the Phish bubbles in fact. From the ankle up. That would be cool.

Check PM.

CD, no vinyl.

Not sure I should, but for a real good cause, since there's a few Phish fans out there... had to pass when a friend offered a ticket for this Friday night at MSG, too far for this Vermont guy. They have just announced two shows, August 25 and 26 at SPAC. Tickets go on sale to the public Saturday July 29, but there is a way for the intrepid to pre-order right now, Phish fans will figure it out. Just 5000 or so seats there undercover, 20,000 on the lawn.

Have you ever been guilty of looking at someone your own age and thinking, “Surely I can’t look that old?” You’ll love this one.

My name is Alice Smith and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his DDS diploma, which showed his full name.

Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name who had been in my high school class some 40-odd years ago. Could this be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?

Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.

After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School.

“Yes. Yes, I did. I’m a Mustang,” he beamed with pride.

“When did you graduate?” I asked.

He answered, “In 1959. Why do you ask?”

“You were in my class!” I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, fat, gray, decrepit son-of-a-gun asked, “What did you teach?”

Twice.

December 1981 - New Orleans Super Dome with the Neville Brothers opening.
October 1989 - Birmingham's (AL) Legion Field with Living Color (or is it In Living Color, cant remember).

Both very good shows. 1981 was on the Stones First Final Tour, we know how that turned out. My first dose of the Nevilles, whom I love.

1989, a much better show as it was outside and the sound, the show, the atmosphere, everything exactly perfect. The seemed more energized, maybe not as Crunked Up as compared to N.O. 1981
