@ Everything Counts In Large Amounts

Gotta keep on floating down the river... Division is confusion It can drive you up a wall Like any good illusion It ain't anything at all One was always fine before We figured out how to get one more Now it's another and another Still we ain't got nothing at all Let me tell you somethin' Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds up The lines we draw between things But there's a wall around my heart Talk to climb the big things And still I don't know where to start Fallen angel?s making plans Breaking deals and shaking hands Build it up and you hope that it stands Out further and further apart Let me tell you somethin' Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up

@ POST 4,000!!!!

jumpin the gun cause I want to be # 4,000 In the year 2525, if man is still alive If woman can survive, they may find In the year 3535 Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie Everything you think, do and say Is in the pill you took today In the year 4545 You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes You won't find a thing to chew Nobody's gonna look at you In the year 5555 Your arms hangin' limp at your sides Your legs got nothin' to do Some machine's doin' that for you In the year 6565 Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too From the bottom of a long glass tube In the year 7510 If God's a-coming, He oughta make it by then Maybe He'll look around Himself and say "Guess it's time for the Judgement Day" In the year 8510 God is gonna shake His mighty head He'll either say, "I'm pleased where man has been" Or tear it down, and start again In the year 9595 I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive He's taken everything this old earth can give And he ain't put back nothing Now it's been ten thousand years, man has cried a billion tears For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday

@ Happy Friday

What a gorgeous day it is here in STL. Sun is shining, nice cool air and things seem to be pretty calm in the city. When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand and nothing, whoa, nothing is going right. Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there to brighten up even your darkest nights. You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend. If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds and that old north wind should begin to blow, keep your head together and call my name out loud. Soon I will be knocking upon your door. You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there. Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? People can be so cold. They'll hurt you and desert you. Well, they'll take your soul if you let them, oh yeah, but don't you let them. You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call, Lord, I'll be there, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend. You've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend.

@Althea

John definitely did a nice Althea for me. Thanks for sharing! Looking so forward to my December shows! Da Bus rolls onward!

FTW on NPR

Any of you catch this? http://www.npr.org/2015/11/11/455324107/first-listen-the-grateful-dead-…

I am prepped and ready for my face to be melted clean off my head on 11/20. Caught a few glipses and musical interludes of last nights show...Hey Rich, you had a good spot! I have two extra seats for the Dead and Co in STL so unless someone comes out of the woodwork who wants them I am going to be seat hopping back and forth between club seats and section 110. And to the OD last night at Da Buff...learn to hold ur shit maaan...I wouldn't want to miss a second of the show.

Paris

Prayers to our French Dead Head brothers and sisters.

oui

i don't understand this evil. i wonder what this will do to the very young, growing up in fear of these kinds of acts. i recall the atom bomb drills of the cold war when i was in elementary school, but we did not really understand what it was all about. there was no 24x7 CNN and other coverages, showing all the carnage. we knew the bomb was bad but we did not fully grasp the danger i think. the young kids today get to SEE it over and over. parents, grandparents, please hug and reassure the little ones.

Dead & Co Fall Tour

Hey now, this head added an unexpected show to the itinerary...Ozark Matt and I are headed to Nashville tomorrow. Super excited cause I've never hung out in the music city. Grateful for the current cheap gas for ba dus! Keep on truckin'!

@just a little light?...

Been following this tour since 10/29 Albany, playing has gotten much tighter but is it me or are the set lists getting predictable and stagnant? Same songs being rotated in different order, repeating every 3 shows or so. Now I know Mayer and Oteil are new to this but, well just want to see if anyone else shares the opinion, maybe I just need a break from it.... Contrasting to Phil's recent runs at the Cap...on 11/1 he pulled out day job for the encore....whilst not a barn burner of a classic dead song it did put a smile on my face....if for no other reason, spontaneity. Come to find out that night he replayed the 11/1/85 set list song for song...reminds me of going to see DSO. Anyway to all who are yet to go, enjoy.....these are some high energy shows for sure....and being there is well worth your time....at least once.

On This Thanksgiving Day

Greetings and best wishes to all of you Sunshine Daydreamers...and you know who you are... I'm very thankful and grateful for all the new friendships, interactions, da picnic, and above all all the music over the past months...tis the moments in the journey that our memories are made of, and you've provided many nice moments. May this day find you safe and with loved ones where-ever you are...may all good things to come your way. Perchance if you find yourself friend or family "challenged" this day, here's a Thanksgiving hug just for you ((o)). Take care and we'll see you here or there... geothankfulthisdaymeister

@what he said...

To echo curious George.... I am thankful for friends, old and new, real and virtual, family and furry critters everywhere.... Sitting at the ocean in Vero Beach I reflect on how my life has been affected since the announcement of FTW back in January. Peace and well wishes.... rrrrrrwhoishappywithwhatIhavetobehappywithgrrrrrrrrr aka the head with the yellow hat.... ps the Eagles really suck this year.....sorry tfonts.......

@Thankful

So thankful for all of you! The past year has been an amazing trip!

Grateful Thanksgiving 2015

Well said Geomeister! What a wonderful ride this year has been for this extended Sunshine Daydreamer family – may the music and love always fill the air! Ever grateful, ever thankful!

@Truly Thankful

For ALL of YOU! For ALL YOU DO For the music to see me through!

Right On George!

What a lovely post! I need to echo the same...my life has changed for the better since we all started this journey nearly one year ago. We may not see each other but it's sure nice to know we can "talk" and reach out whenever... I think of all of you often and treasure our new cyber-friendships and especially the music that made it all happen.

Hola, Daydreamers!

Hi everyone, Just checking in, as I have mostly had my head down attending to the mundane for the last few months. However, I got the chance to spin my noggin a bit last week at the Broomfield and Vegas shows (despite a nagging cough). The shows were great--11/28 2nd set, in particular, was very notable. Got to see Gob and (you can call me) James in Vegas so that was a treat. Gob even brought Christmas to the show . . . literally. Hoping to go to Cali at the end of the month but we will see.

@Holy crap....

It's like a reunion here. hey there Greg, Anita and Jeff...... Glad all is well and that Mayer and Friends didn't disappoint..... Oh yeah, I still miss Jerry......

@Reunion

Hey now, grate to hear from everyone. Good to know we are still on the bus together. If any of you Daydreamers aren't aware, you can see some recent Dead and Co tour photos at our very own site... Here is a link: http://sunshinedaydreamers.com/wp-content/uploads/nashville45.jpg Peace Kids!

Thoughts this morning

...now, more than ever, we need to celebrate the good in our country, and the Good Old Grateful Dead have sure provided a lot of that. While not minimizing what happens tragically, we do need to focus on peace, love and bringing a smile to those around us. Mona posted that today was the official name change for the Boys to the Grateful Dead, and that happened 50 years ago...so happy happy birthday guys. As I reflect on the violence that seems to happen on an unfortunate regular basis, I can't help but think as a society we can do a better job. Think globally, act locally comes to mind....and for me, that starts with my own personal thoughts and what kind of spirit I want to have, and project to those close by. We can each make this place a better place, and we each need to do that. We each need to take responsibility for our thoughts, words and deeds, and strive to make this world a better place, one smile, one song, one hug at a time. So greet a friend, look someone in the eye, and say "I care". Think good thoughts, and yes, mourn and grieve as necessary, but know that your smile, your gesture, your words are important to us all. Best wishes, good thoughts and prayers to those hurting today. May the music provide warmth, your friends provide compassion, and memories of a real good time bring a smile to your spirit. Take care one and all...you matter to us as you matter to your friends and family. Peace to you and yours. geo

@Thoughts

Geo, your thoughts are spot on and if we all took those words to heart the world would indeed be a better place. These are troubling times for sure. Thank the Great Spirit for the Good Ole Grateful Dead...a box of rain will ease the pain and love will see you through.

@RIP

We've lost another great musician...RIP Scott Weiland.

McCaffrey for Heisman

Dead & Co./Rose Bowl is awfully tempting! I might be able to pull it off....

Anniversary Weekend!

Spent last weekend in SF and SJ trekking to Dead sites of interest. Caught a show at TXR and Kimock...thought of all my Daydreamers and broke my face smiling!

App to access Archive

I may be late on the uptake, but I just loaded an app that puts a very helpful and intuitive front end on all the Dead (and Phil and many other) recording from the internet Archive. Free fast download that WORKS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/relisten-formerly-listen-to/id715886886…

@archive app

Thanks Tom...happy holidays to you and yours....

Big day for me!

Tomorrow I got my first real taste of the dead. Friend gave me Wake Up to Find Out and it led me to this amazing community of kindness and joy! Love all you Daydreamers! Geeky

Jerry returned to the stage 5 months after emerging from a coma. I was celebrating turning 21, oblivious to all things Dead. Took me 28 more years to find the bus stop but sure glad I did! I miss Jerry! Geeky PS - He played ALTHEA!

To The Great Wonderful Awesome Birthday Girl

Here's to you, Geeky One, this fine daywhether you celebrate your 50th at work or at play: Yaay! Lisa gets to celebrate 50 trips around the sun, keep remembering you can't never have too much fun; May all the smiles and laughter and joy make you feel young like one with a new toy; Know that the strangers who are now your friends, are singing and dancing with you around each bend; And as you stop and reminisce, we trust there will be many moments of bliss; We wish for you many more years of music and love, with a spirit that matches the morning dove; Thanks for sharing your days with us, for our world got better when you got on the Bus. Speaking for Daydreamers near and far: HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY TO A SHINING STAR!

@They say it's your birthday!

@Hiker

Thanks so much!

Question For Those That Purchased Chicago Box Set

Did anyone notice excessive grainy picture quality during segments of their blu-ray or dvd video discs? Most noticeable on July 4th disc 2, during the fireworks. Interested to find out either way. Trying to determine if it was produced that way or if it's a defective disc. Otherwise it's an amazing capture of a magical week in Chicago. Thanks.

hoping you're all having a grate holiday season so far

no matter which, if any,Holiday is your choice no matter what, have a Jerry Christmas

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to my SD friends! I'm blessed to have cyber met all of you! Cheers!

12/30 LA Forum

1 good seat to share with any Sunshine Daydreamers who may find themselves in LA this day. ☮gob

@gob

Boy, wish I could. The tour is sounding better and better with each comment I read, but can't make it. Enjoy.

Tidings of Comfort and Joy

Hoping all the Daydreamers everywhere have a joyous holiday/winter season. May light and life fill your homes and family and friends fill your hearts. I am brimming with love for all of you and for our community. Soltice is coming soon and the light will return to us again. The sun will shine on our backdoor someday!!!

Phil in Vegas Anyone?

Hey we just got our tickets for Feb shows. AND Chuck was off that weekend! Anyone else planning to be there? Peace! Geeky

@Lost Wages

And on a more serious note, five days til Festivus 2015.... Gonna shine the aluminum pole and prepare for the airing of grievances and feats of strength. Gotta love the Holidays....if not, just play Dead. Happy Friday freaks!

@Santana rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Santana should be awesome! And remember me on Festivus LOL

Vegas baby
