40 years ago 9/3/72 at Folsom Field

An amazing 3 set wonder outside under the Flatirons! A day I'll never forget. Thank you Rainbow family!

Park West Ski Area 9-4-83

Spent the day in Utah with the band up in the hills, where at least one person was observed entering the show under the canopy of a parachute, with purple smoke trailing behind him; some folks had set up a tarp in the middle of the crowd, upon which target the parachutist then made his graceful landing. As he passed over my head, I could see that he was dancing and had a ticket in his hand. Just a day like any other day, back when we had a Grateful Dead.

One of the grates!

Understated genius, he was. That Brent feeling, pushing the dynamics of the song. A separate reality, blended into the whole. Magic was always in his pocket, like a grandfathers beloved watch, always keeping perfect time. We all miss you Brent.Thinking of you,peace,pk

7/21/90 Tinley Park

"...And I got no chance of losing, this time" RIP Brent Mydland, about to perform with the band in Chicago on his last 3 show run.... This particular venue was very wide and right off the highway. The 2nd set from 7/21 was particularly good with a great Mr Fantasy as part of a multi-song sequence starting with Scarlet Begonias, in and out of Playin, a Crazy Fingers and ending with Saturday Night: very dynamic!! After 7/23, Vince Welnick debuted in Richfield, OH, on 9/7. Jerry did an intro for Vince before going into Bird Song.... >>> I'll salute Vince with an RIP, too! <<<

5/20/73 Santa Barbara

I can't wait much longer, Melinda, the sun is getting high...... Hey now, check this show out from 35 years ago today: 5/20/73. The sequence of Truckin > Nobody's Fault but Mine Jam >The Other One> Eyes > Stella is terrific. It will play twice more today, compliments of David Lemieux, on Sirius channel 32.
