    although Tedeschi Trucks is better... I wish I knew how It would feel to be free I wish I could break All the chains holding me I wish I could say All the things that I should to say Say 'em loud say 'em clear For the whole round world to hear I wish I could share All the love that's in my heart Remove all the bars That keep us apart I wish you could know What it means to be me Then you'd see and agree Everyone should be free I wish I could give All I'm longin' to give I wish I could live Like I'm longin' to live I wish I could do All the things that I can do Though I'm way overdue I'd be starting anew. I wish I could be like a bird in the sky How sweet it would be If I found out I could fly I'd soar to the sun And look down at the sea And I sing 'cause I know Everyone should be free..... Sarge has left ba dus....on an evening stroll.... Tomorrow, God willing and the creek don't rise......

    @ You can never leave Da Dus!
    I can hardly remeber where I was before I got on da dus... Remember when the days were long And rolled beneath a deep blue sky Didn't have a care in the world With mommy and daddy standin' by But "happily ever after" fails And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales The lawyers dwell on small details Since daddy had to fly But I know a place where we can go That's still untouched by men We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by And the tall grass wave in the wind You can lay your head back on the ground And let your hair fall all around me Offer up your best defense But this is the end This is the end of the innocence O' beautiful, for spacious skies But now those skies are threatening They're beating plowshares into swords For this tired old man that we elected king Armchair warriors often fail And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales The lawyers clean up all details Since daddy had to lie But I know a place where we can go And wash away this sin We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by And the tall grass wave in the wind Just lay your head back on the ground And let your hair spill all around me Offer up your best defense But this is the end This is the end of the innocence Who knows how long this will last Now we've come so far, so fast But, somewhere back there in the dust That same small town in each of us I need to remember this So baby give me just one kiss And let me take a long last look Before we say goodbye Just lay your head back on the ground And let your hair fall all around me Offer up your best defense But this is the end This is the end of the innocence

    Miami you are good people...great sense of humor.....and for sure an old soul.....got music down and quick on the draw....That was the dog talking.... On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell" Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year (Any time of year) You can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine" He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine" And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the place I was before "Relax, " said the night man, "We are programmed to receive. You can check-out any time you like, But you can never leave! " At least we are still on ba dus....

    @ I don't roll on shabbos!
    Good evening sir and Sarge Twilight on the frozen lake North wind about to break On footprints in the snow Silence down below You’re beautiful beyond words You’re beautiful to me You can make me cry Never say goodbye Time is all I have to give You can have it if you choose With me you can live Never say goodbye My dreams are made of iron and steel With a big bouquet Of roses hanging down From the heavens to the ground The crashing waves roll over me As I stand upon the sand Wait for you to come And grab hold of my hand Oh, baby, baby, baby blue You’ll change your last name, too You’ve turned your hair to brown Love to see it hangin’ down

    Roll On Reach a hand to the crescent moon grab hold of the hollow If she sits in the palm of the left that moon will be fuller tomorrow If she sits in the palm of the right that moon is on the wane and the love of the one who shares your bed will be doing just the same 'Won't you come with me', she said, 'there's plenty of room in my iron bed You're looking cold and tired and more than a little human I know I'm not part of the life you had planned, but I think once your body feels my hand your mind will change and your heart will lose its pain' Out among the fields gently hipped beneath the corn, Assiniboine bones beneath the highway he stood there and he thought of home A finger traces the path of a satellite You're drawn to a distant copse of trees A voice as sweet as Mare's Tail clings to the prairie breeze 'Won't you come with me', she said, 'there's plenty of room in my iron bed You're looking cold and tired and more than a little human I know I'm not part of the life you had planned, but I think once your body feels my hand your mind will change and your heart will lose its pain' Do I reach for you when I know you're on the wane? Do I sense you when I know you're not around? Do I search for you when I know you can't be found? Do I dare to speak your name? Raise your eyes to a moonless sky and try to wish upon a rising star Search all you want for her blessing but you won't find her sparkling there Now cast your eyes to a part of the sky where nothing but darkness unfolds and watch as all around you she reveals the brilliance of secrets untold Won't you come with me, she said, there's plenty of room in my iron bed You're looking cold and tired and more than a little human I know I'm not part of the life you had planned, but I think once your body feels my hand your mind will change and your heart will lose its pain

    @if I was from Paris...I'd say....
    I'm a roaming cowboy riding all day long, Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song. Nights underneath the prairie moon, I ride along and sing this tune. See them tumbling down Pledging their love to the ground Lonely but free I'll be found Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds. Cares of the past are behind Nowhere to go but I'll find Just where the trail will wind Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds. I know when night has gone That a new world's born at dawn. I'll keep rolling along Deep in my heart is a song Here on the range I belong Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds. the Dude abides.....

    est -ce qu'il va tomber en amour? I have been a rover since I was a child, No one to love or care for me. Knocked around all over, kinda grew up wild - My home's wherever I may be. Ain't no someone yearnin', wonderin' where I be; I'm gone, but no one's missin' me; Ain't no light a-burnin' ev'ry night for me; I'm like a bird that's flyin' free. (Melody:) I'm just breezin' along with the breeze, Trailin' the rails, roamin' the seas. Like the birdies that sing in the trees, Pleasin' to live, livin' to please.

Another year gone. Been thinking about posting all day, started and quit thrice already. So much has happened and I don't know where to begin, so I will just type. I remember the morning of January 16th when dead.net posted the FTW announcement. All the anticipation, effort, excitement, heartbreak and the camaraderie we developed. The whirlwind leading up to Chicago, the shows, the pic a nic and most importantly the friendships. I'd like to thank marye for granting us this space, Tony for his time, organization and spreadsheets, George for his patience and wit, Tami and Oat Willie (say hi to Pam) for their artistic contributions, Al, Al's horse, Adam, ASL, Totes, Ms. Katniss, Stanley, Stella, Geeky for her geekiness, Bob Loblaw, spascarella, mortatone, Roadking, Jose, Zeke, Jambo, Dire, JeffTOO, Kurt, Tom Hanlon, Swannie, GOB, Mkav, Boo Boo, OzarkMatt for his outstanding photography, and Miami for spinning awesome tunes and briving a mean dus, let us not forget our fearless leader Mayor Klangstone, yes, I know... it all would have happened without him, but it never would have been as much fun.... :-) To all those daydreamers not mentioned above, you are not forgotten.... I would like to thank our families for their patience and understanding of our obsession with all things Dead.... Well ..time to idle ba dus and watch the last sunset of the year here in da Buff.... If you go out to celebrate, may the four winds blow you safely home..... Hey Sarge, for old time sake, play that song, you know the one that Guy Lombardo made famous....eh? (he was Canadian). Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And auld lang syne! For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne. We'll take a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne. ....now, pass me that bone.....and a cup of Philz..... Happy New Year!

...it's all so spanking new...we hardly got the wrapping paper off the New Year, and already there's music in the air. Richie, ditto to your sentiments earlier. We all had such a grand adventure in 2015, as strangers stopped strangers...and you know the rest of THAT story. May your cup be full of what we shared this past year; May the melody of life find you dancing in your seats, in the aisles, and on the byways and highways of your path; May all of your pesky detours, chuck holes, speed traps and traffic jams that we all face in our journeys be short and sweet; And may the river continue to sing sweet songs to rock your soul. Here's to you and you and you, and fellow Sunshine Daydreamers everywhere: Ready or not, 2016, here we come. Le chaim!

All is quiet on New Year's DayA world in white gets underway I want to be with you Be with you night and day Nothing changes on New Year's Day On New Year's Day I will be with you again I will be with you again --- even if only in spirit. I thought of you all and our grand adventure when we passed our Shady Grove hiking to the Field Museum earlier today. We're back here in the city for the holiday, but it's just not the same without you. A happy and prosperous New Year to all you lovely people!!

Very well said, Mr. Rrrgrrrr and geoihavemyfingeronthepulseoftheuniversemeister! It's been a phenomenal last year and the Daydreamer experiment ended up being a resounding laboratory success. I had to skip the California swing of Dead & Co., but rumor has it that there will be more songs to fill the air next year! We might be able to fudge and say 51 years so far . . . . Hope to see some of you at the shows! Have a safe and healthy new year everybody.

Has anyone heard how Matt and Holly fared in the flooding?
user picture

Member for

Thanks for your concern. Matt and I live in the city so our home is fine. The surrounding areas are bad for sure and the areas where we hike are inaccesible. This was historic flooding and a smaller river the Meramec had record breaking crest levels. Higher than the flood of 93'... It will be a large mess to clean up for sure. The good thing is now we know where not to move. It is heartbreaking for me to watch the flood footage. Seeing the highway 55 bridge that we cross to go hiking underwater was very unnerving. Hopefully the debris and water dont negatively effect the structure too much. There were houses floating down the river. Black muddy river, roll on forever...I dont care how deep or wide...

I was doing road work with the Dead and a few other bands back then and I recall the unbelievable flooding. It was amazing to see whole towns underwater. Stay safe and dry!

We drove from St Louis area to DFW on 12/27. We could see the high levels of the creeks and rivers along 55 and 44. With all the rain on 12/27 and 12/28, we were not surprised to hear of all that flooding. I haven't heard much since then in terms of clean up, etc. Prayers and best wishes to all those folks in tbe waters' path.

Yes, a sad day as David was a unique talent. I called an old friend today and reminisced about going to see the Sound+Vision tour in 1990. Bowie was to retire his old songs and you could call in to vote for songs you wanted performed. After voting for Rock 'n' Roll Suicide, well...don't let the sun blast your shadow,don't let the milk float ride your mind. Great memories.

That is great that you were able to see him live. His producer has said that his latest album and video were a parting gift to his fans. I dont have it in me to watch it right now but the first line from the new single is "Look up here, I'm in Heaven." If there is a Heaven, that is where David Bowie belongs...Rock'n'Roll Heaven.

Sad to hear of Glenn Frey's passing--he and Don Henley were a big part of the Aspen/Snowmass/Woody Creek scene for many years. You were just there, amirite? One of my friends used to be the caretaker for Don Henley and she said that his philosophy was that people go to concerts to be able to sing along with the exact recording, so he always wanted the concert to be consistent with the CD. Legend had it that he would fire backing musicians if they missed a beat or a note. I always thought it is the antithesis of the Dead in that respect, but very enjoyable music nonetheless. RIP. Also, hello Klang--hope you are well!

Greg, good to hear from you, hope you're handling winter alright. I was in Boulder and Aspen CO area in late September. Funny, when there was jonesin' to hear Jackson, Poco, Eagles and Fogelberg....must be the thin air and the Rocky Mountain highs.... You are on to something with that Henley reference. I first saw the Eagles in support of One Of These Nights in 75, very good, spontaneous, sloppy. I caught them again in 79, no longer the same outfit and not cuz Felder and Meisner were gone, they were sonically perfect, and so every time I've seen them since. This past July 18,000 seat arena sold out in da buff. Guess perfection sells..... there's a train leaves here this morning, I don't know, one I might be on.....

It's that time of the year again and the videos are pouring in, please check them out. Scarlet Begonias was filmed in our backyard last summer. Give it a look and listen, one of the Daydreamers is representing on the upright bass. support Savannah and the Kings if they come to your neck of the woods....they don't suck.... That song still reminds me of Saturday in the Park, every days the Fourth of July.... Believe it if you need it, if you don't just pass it on..... Oh yeah, I still miss Jerry.... ;-)

...this one makes me so, so very sad. Dan and the girls always brought me right to a particular space and time, with a sweetly sly, salacious grin and a sparkle of the eye. Miss you, rgr, believe it if you need it.

In case anybody's like me and didn’t realize it, you can buy tickets now. From the Deadandcompany.com scroll down to the two “FOLSOM FIELD ... BOULDER” shows and click on “TICKETS”. That’ll take you to the Colorado U ticket page for the D&Co shows. Click on “DEAD & COMPANY PLATINUM SEATING: FIND TICKETS” which will take you to a page where you can search for seats by section, row and price and add to your cart. (Click the link at the top of this page to set up an account w/ your contact info so you can check out.) Worked fine for me, but I had to re-click on the “Tickets” link on the Dead & Co page once because I initially got a “page not found” message on the CU page. BTW: I have accounts on Ticketmaster and Livenation.com, but apparently they weren’t needed and no password or codes were required during the process.
