Grateful Dead

Dave’s 2023 bonus disc (Folsom Field 9/3/72)…decided to shake up the listening by only listening to September shows this week. Truckin still #1 in Turlock

10/19/73 for me - the mighty Dicks Picks 36. One highlight you don't hear much about is Jerry's guitar solo on "They Love Each Other".

Fox Theatre
St. Louis

Listening to 5/26/73 Kezar (Disc 2 from HCS box).

Marquee photo is Bill Graham playing cowbell after being dosed (I think a Fillmore West show). Search Bill Graham Cowbell and a red dit thread comes up that has a cropped photo with Pigpen singing and Bill on cowbell on side of stage. Edit - now I'm reading that at 2/11/69 shows Mickey gave Bill a cowbell to commemorate the earlier dosed show event (exact date unknown). And that the photo could be Bill playing the gifted cowbell on 2/11/69 and not a photo of him at the show where he was dosed. An enigma wrapped in a mystery.

Yes I know he isn’t mooning. I don’t guarantee it but the picture looks like contemporary pics of Bill Graham from the internet. You have to fight through many photos of Billy Graham and an apparently pro wrestler Bill Graham. The hair style looks right. Anyone know for sure?

Edit Posted this before I saw the PROUDFOOT reply.

It is indeed Bill Graham with his "more cowbell"

Wishing you good health

Heart failure is obviously heavy stuff

Y'all be cool.

Hope everyone is doing well. Sorry for the erratic posting. Trying to manage living in heart failure doesn't leave a lot of time for sitting at the computer.

The pictures too titchy on the cd cover to tell.
