Grateful Dead

Less I missed something, there is no 9/7/88.
I was serendipitously at 9/8/88, good show, maybe not RJ?
9/3 and 9/5 are good, think maybe Jim was at those?
3/27/88 is mos def RJ!

Ok Vguy, those Fish of yours are starting to worry me!
AFC east is going to be a beast this year, though perhaps less so with the Rogers debacle…
Hopefully Josh just had a one off extremely bad day last week….

So sorry PF, may the four winds…sounds like he had a good long life and a good transition.
It’s weird, as we get older and have delt with more loss over the years it sorta gets easier, except increasingly the folks leaving start coming more from our inner circles, thus often much harder. The cruel irony of death I suppose, sigh…
Hang in there bud, you know we’re all with ya!

And to good ole Nappy too.
Glad to hear your ok, we missed ya, and were starting to get worried about you, but sorry to hear of your losses.
Good the Other one was able to be there.
Not sure what to say about ole Mr Jinx. Never met him but I liked his style ; )
At least now I don’t have to worry bout him over running the place and starting a gambling/drinking/whoring emporium for kitties, though I bet he would of excelled ; )

I’m very sorry for your loss Proudfoot.
I prefer music without words at such times, because there is so little that can be said.

Hearts out to all our friends going through the dark side of the circle of life. We were recently dealt a time released version ourselves, we all go through this, it's never easy.

Great advice and great vibes from all the good people here, which should surprise no one.

We are taking our news well and doing what is best meaning make the best of the time we have and make every moment count. Sort of how (I think) many of us live our lives anyway. We are all happy go lucky fun hogs at heart, right? Oteil just put a pretty heartfelt album

All good things for all good times.

On a related note, I had an incredibly busy day a couple days ago getting home quite late and worn out. I decided to take a soak and listen to some music with headphones. I thought the acoustic portion of Dave's Picks 43, 12/26/69 would fit the bill. It was absolutely perfect btw, but the next day as I was checking this thread it looks like I was listening to it at exactly the same time as dead nets favorite Senator from Vegas. A nice little coincidence and what a great release. Bananas are my new favorite fruit.

Many thanks to you all.

OK; I will tell you that my Dad passed on 9/13/23. I am not looking for a pity party, just telling you like it is.

Four things: he was one righteous dude; he made it to 90; he passed at home; and he passed surrounded by family.

I found out that the Beatles have a lot of "good grief" and "good mourning" songs.

Let It Be
It's All Too Much
In My Life
The Inner Light
Blackbird
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
The Long and Winding Road

George Harrison:
All Things Must Pass

All of these have been extremely therapeutic and effective ways to get the grief out.

I do challenge you to listen to Let It Be (the album version) when you lose a loved one and not get completely verklempt.

Two bands that are in categories of their own in my opinion: GD and the Beatles.

Everything else to me is simply everything else.

I believe there are a couple of tracks featuring Charlie Watts on the new album. Incredible attitude and energy these guys have. I won't be going to see them again, but I'm definitely going to get the album.

Mr Ones - that sounds like quite an undertaking. It can't have been easy. A very courageous thing to do, but it sounds as though it was worth it.

The wife and I caught Equalizer 3 this weekend. Those familiar with the franchise know what to expect, Denzel Washington as Gary Cooper, and this time it is an Italian mobster crime family. Fast paced, LOTS of action. 💀💀💀3 Skulls Out of 5
Nappy - Condolences on your losses. Brighter days ahead.
A NEW Rolling Stones album - Hackney Diamonds - coming late October. The very first LP in their long career without Charlie Watts.

Hope everyone is having a grateful weekend so far. Yesterday I started my day listening to the Dead’s performance on 3/27/88 at the Hampton Coliseum, Hampton,VA ! I truly love this show, the set list is amazing with some primo playing from the band. Everybody seems to have their gears locked & loaded for this show!
Also , after that I put on 9/7/85 !!! Primo performance! If you haven’t heard these two shows I would recommend giving them a listen, nothing left to do but Smile Smile Smile.
Rock on my brothers and sisters, peace be with you all!

I recently went through a week of INTENSE group therapy, and it was SO life altering. One day, we were acting out family of origin stuff. There were SO MANY losses in my life/family. It turns out I was trying to pretend all this death was no big deal. But it F**cking IS!!
So by all means, grieve as much as you need to. Only you know how much grief you need to unload. And don’t get me started about the loss of quadrupeds. It can be (and is) DEVASTATING!!
You have my 100% empathy, and prayers for strength to get through this storm. Yeah, death is a part of life, but knowing that does not make it ANY easier. Peace and love to NAPPYRAGS and all my brothers & sisters out there.

I bought the United States Of Dead sweatshirt, the store/warehouse screwed the whole thing up, long story...when I finally got it, it was crappy. The actual sweatshirt itself is just garbage. I thought the Oregon one was really cute, I almost got one. (I live in NY)
