    RIP Ray, the leading force behind the Doors who played keyboards as well as recruited Jim Morrison into the band. He dies of cancer surrounded by his family in Germany. Thanks Ray for the transcendence of The Doors - Music far ahead of it's time. ~ Weird scenes inside the gold mine ~

    Passed today, he was 92. I know I loved all of his special "stop motion" effects and his films live on with me to this day. The best of the best, the only one to do what he did at the time, a true visionary.

    Bidding a belated farewell to the visionary artist responsible for all the Pink Floyd album covers. He passed away April 18th, 2013. Hopefully he's somewhere up there with Syd, telling stories and laughing about the good ol' days.

    Promoter Barry Fey has passed away. He put Colorado on the map for bringing in many performers, most notably at the beautiful Red Rocks amphitheater. Anyone have an old ticket stub with Fey or Feyline on it? Did he put on the fabulous show at Folsom field in Boulder on 9/3/72? http://denver.cbslocal.com/2013/04/29/barry-fey-autopsy-completed-resul…

    Just heard Alvin Lee passed yesterday, routine medical procedure gone bad, he was 68. Loved this guys guitar style, saw Ten Years After many times, good times. RIP sir, another one for the heart of gold band. Also just heard that Ed Cassidy, drummer extrodinaire, passed Dec 6th last year, Father Spirit left us with some great music and he was a real sweet guy, massive arms and the upper body strength of a weightlifter, when he shook my hand, you could feel every muscle moving, that's what 75 years of drumming will do to you. He was 89 and played right up to his death. Randy and him are together again in the spirit in the sky band. RIP my brothers

    It's 1/19/2013, a birthday for remembering! Remembering the greatness and the fantastic-ness of Bear! In Memory of him and In Honor of those he left behind for the threshold of transition into the best "trip" ever. I attempt to not envy but much to my dismay I fail and await my "trip". We all get direction just not all in the same direction. Bear's was awesome and undeniably unique and just being able to sher in that...delightful. He has been such an inspiration to me. I am indebted but free. My taste so comparable to his. My eyes and ears and my world basked in it all. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAR ...it's like I told you... http://owsleystanleyfoundation.org/index.html

    Thank you for a forum like this. I know am not alone on how much we miss our loved ones who have departed to early. I have 32 friends lost to our way of living back in the day. Wether car accident or touring in generagl. way to many passed on to early to young. But they will bve waiting for us when we all get home.I know and trust that in my heart of hearts. To name a few would not be fair to all those others so I wont go there. I have to name my Dear Gina who I miss everyday. Life can be so unfair it seems. I know this much when my day comes to go to heaven she will be rite there waiting for me. I know this without conviction. The most gentle love I have ever had. I miss us Gina and yet NEVER had a relationship end in total blissfull love so for this I am grateful. To all that have lost loved ones your in my deepest prayers. Much love to us all here still

I couldn't find my own words .. What an incredible life to celebrate.."A week ago dad told us he was gonna pass on his birthday, and he wasn't wrong. A hour ago he took his last breath surrounded by family and friends. He loved everything about life and he loved that everyone of you gave him a chance with his music. He wasn't just a country singer.. He was the best country singer that ever lived." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKuc4nfJByc&feature=share

I got to know you since you were the last place I ran into my friend since birth, Jimmy. Thru you I made so many friends, some jobs and a lot off laffs. We had your wake last night and 2 yrs ago today we lost Jimmy. You kept his memory alive and grow. He loved this neighborhood like you and had the best wild stories about it. I now can add to those stories. Thank you! <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paEQc668kY4

As we celebrate the lives and at the same time mourn the passing of these rock and roll musicians, friends and family, a few things stand out: One, we are blessed and our lives are enriched because of those who made it their mission to bring music into our lives. Two, without friends to share these moments, life wouldn't be near as exciting and colorful. And Three, which comes in three parts, like a waltz: 1) True love can't be bought; it is nurtured in the heart, just as music is. 2) Home grown 'maters can't be bought; they are nurtured in the home, where your heart and music is. 3) True friendship can't be bought; it is only nurtured and obtained through an individual's action, a yearning to share life's melodies (and drama) with someone else, and likewise, a commitment by a like-minded person to reciprocate. Thank you to the Sunshine Daydreamers, deadheads, and music and life lovers everywhere, for it is the spirit and actions of those like you, and KristineD, and Mona, and Richie and countless others everywhere that counts in the end... So tune that fiddle, put on your dancing shoes and let your freak flag fly. We are everywhere, we are together, and we are one. Peace to you all... geoit'snotjustaboutthetomatoesmeister

Growing up on Going st. in the late 60s to early 70s a long haired dude would walk to the store with a parrot on his shoulder and a monkey on his back. All us kids would run out and see and talk to him. He pointed at Jimmy Snyder, my neighbor since I was born, and told him don't ever mess with my monkey! Soon as he could Jimmy ran down to his house and climbed up the apple tree the monkey was in. The monkey yelled at him and started to throw apples at Jimmy as hard as he could. Jimmy ended up running home as fast as he could scared to look behind him. RIP James Micheal Snyder. I miss your stories.

Today my thoughts and prayers go out all those lost 15 years ago in the events on this day. I never use to care more about others then I did myself. this world teach us lessons everyday. Today I want to take the moment to wish everyone a peaceful safe day. And wish all good things in all good time for all. God Bless us all ... I for one will never forget the history we lived threw. I do not like giving those who tried to hurt us the words many say. Point being we all know what happened and who acted against us. This is for those with us and fore us. God bless everyone in this crazy world we live.

Hello everyone. I am Dave21768's wife.I don't know how long it has been since he last posted here. I am sorry to tell any friends he has made here that he has passed away. He left us on Aug.5th of this year. Our eldest son had Ripple played for him at the celebration of life. I'm sorry it took me awhile to notify his fellow Deadheads. I really only just found the forums thanks to customer service when I asked them for help in re-homing his collection. He has been getting the Dave's picks and also had box sets. If you are looking for a particular set or number in the series, please contact me. Or if you have any links to sites besides ebay where I can find interested parties, I would appreciate that as well. Dave would be most unhappy to see his favorite music sitting on a shelf and not being heard. As a lover of music he had a wide range of interests and favorites. The Dead where at the top of his list. Thank you in advance and God bless.You can contact me at elle7068@charter.net

Thank you to those who contacted me in regards to re-homing my husbands collection. I have been put in contact with brianhahne and he has offered to help me with dispersing the collection. I appreciate the emails of condolences and postings here of the same. Once I am done with taking care of his collection, I may never post here again. I just want to thank you all for being so kind and sharing a major part of my husbands life. He loved talking about his favorite shows and recordings and I was not so great at that lol. I am sure you all filled a void in his music loving heart. This is a kind and loving community if your responses to me are any indication. Fare thee well my friends.

I'm still in a state of shock. He was 39 years at least that is what his mom said. Too soon to be gone. He went through me loosing both my parents. He was there to always lend a word of encouragement and support. He came to CA to go to see Furthur in 2010 and stayed with me for a few days after the show. I took him to the Redwoods and to the Coast. It was one of thoses days I will never forget. But what really stands out was how he gathered all the dead heads who visited the website DeadVids to get together. His enthusiasm and willingness to say the words come to the show had a way on all of us. He gathered bunches of folks to meet and greet at shows and then dance the night away. Because of him I met some of my dearest friends to this date. I know he left this world a better place and I will miss his late night phone calls and him calling me khatters. Rest in Peace Scotty you will always be in my thoughts. My life is richer because you were in it.

Wow, I am shocked at this sad news. Scotty was such an enthusiastic deadhead. I don't know the details, but I wish him well on the next leg of his journey...
