We explore the Beatlesque optimism of “Here Comes Sunshine,” its roots in the Vanport flood of 1948, & the story of the brand-new custom Doug Irwin guitar Jerry Garcia debuted on Wake of the Flood.

While I think there are still a few tracks outstanding, Dick's choice of October 11, 1977 has come to fruition in part: it provides the "filler" on Dick's 29 - the 6-disc 2-show + '77 Extravaganza - and as part of Road Trips Vol. 1 no. 2. It holds a special place in my heart not only because it was exactly one month to the day after I was born, but also because it's the only time I know of that they played my alma mater. Loving this season (as I have the previous 7) and can't wait to hear what else you've got in store. And there's a heck of a Help > Slip > Frankin's.
Take Care,
