    @ Yeah, the worst is over now
    Blue Skies, sunshine, birds are singing... Marvelous, simply marvelous darling! doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo When I think back On all the crap I learned in high school It's a wonder I can think at all And though my lack of education Hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world's a sunny day I got a Nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama don't take my Kodachrome away If you took all the girls I knew When I was single And brought them all together for one night I know they'd never match my sweet imagination Everything looks worse in black and white

I should have known you'd bid me farewell There's a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me And I think it's gonna be all right Yeah, the worst is over now The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball You never care for secrets I confide For you I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live Stolen minutes of your time were all ya had to give And I think it's gonna be all right Yeah, the worst is over now The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball The story's in the past with nothin' to recall I've got my life to live and I don't need you at all The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend And I think it's gonna be all right Yeah, the worst is over now The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball Oh, oh, oh I think it's gonna be all right Yeah, the worst is over now The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

    Play a song for me
    Coffee's on...Friday morning sun coming up...Just me and the pups rocking this morning... Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels To be wanderin' I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way I promise to go under it.

    Geeky you are indeed correct, once you are part of it you can't go back. We are a unique breed. Kind, tolerant, accepting. The spirit of Jerry is still alive and well.... As long as we allow it to be so..... As Neil said.... First time I heard "Lie A Rolling Stone" I felt that magic and took it home Gave it a twist and made it mine But nothing was as good as the very first time Poetry rollin' off his tongue Like Hank Williams chewin' bubble gum Askin me "how does it feel?" Rollin down the road in a dream of mine Two lane tour through a state of mind. Singin in the place where I first saw Roy Playin that place gave me so much joy Flash bulbs poppin' at the stage door Brand new song with familiar chords All the time lookin for somethin' new Walkin with the devil on a twisted road Listenin to the Dead on the radio That old time music esed to soothe my soul If I ever get home I'm gonna let the good times roll Coffee is on.....

    For me there will never be anything like FTW. The music was amazing! The stadium was lit as if from an eternal flame. But as I ponder my experience I only remember the music as it relates to the people. Thousands swaying to Ripple in perfect time. SDD family all around me. Teaching me about the music. Sharing the vibe. Becoming family... Althea hugs and high fives! Locking eyes with Chuck walking up the stairs then they start playing Built to Last... Listening to the music. Sharing the vibe. Family all around me. I want to thank each and every one of you.. For sharing the music For sharing your time For catching my tears For sharing my joys I think I'm a Dead Head I know I miss Jerry I love you all!

    CRACK THE SKY????? holy cow
    I thought I was the only one in the world anymore who had even HEARD of them. I can remember their being at a campus event in a venue that generally had bad cover bands who butchered the stones and other popular rock acts of the time. We did not know what to make of these guys, except they were different, and good! I don't recall specifics, as that was long ago...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

...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

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.

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!

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!

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.

Lisa I wish I would have know. I already booked Super Bowl week there and got tickets for Santana at Mandalay Bay's House of Blues, can't swing another trip that soon. Enjoy.... 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!
