Grateful Dead

....cue Flounder's "oh boy. This is gonna be great" clip.

Been listening on the anniversary:

6-7,8,9-77
6-9-76 (in the car spread over 3 days)
6-10,11,12%,14,15-76
6-17-76 playing now.

Maybe 6-17-91 Blu-ray tonight since I won’t be making it to MUATM.
I was at 6-22-91 and will buy it on Blu-ray if given the chance.
Make it happen Dave/Rhino.

48 years ago today I was up in S.F. to see the Good ole Grateful Dead light it up! What a blast! One of the few versions of Blues for Alllah, Crazy Fingers opens the show, the best version I've ever heard. Kingfiish comes on before the the Dead and blows the doors off of Winterland. Big Fun!

A taste of that tour on this week's Taper's and the new Jam-o-Week.
9-15-72 Boston and 9-24-72 Waterbury, CT. (famous for clockmaking)
Cheers
Go Rickie Fowler!

VGUY...saw this group on an episode of Austin City Limits months ago. They have a great sound. Unless you've already heard them, check out "Texas Sun" and "Mariella" by Khruangbin w/Leon Bridges

LowR, so sorry to read about your loss. It's tough thing however a good thing that we can share these stories especially when they involve health, family, friends. Gary Dicks 23 might be the Baltimore Civic Center show you were thinking of, September, 1972. Far as I know, March 26, 1973, my first live has not been released, that's the one with Wolfman Jack introducing them. It's a great show, worthy of release. Just back from Maine, we caught three Striped Bass over two days, released two, kept a 31". That's a big fish. Those who are concerned about animal cruelty need not read any further (skip ahead), we used live bait, so we fished for mackerel first, caught a bunch of them, into the bait tank. They are beautiful small fishes in their own right. Striped bass love them, so they make great live bait. Big fish eat little fish. We kept the bait alive and kicking in salt water tanks and returned all fishes to the bay. Kept just one fish and we ate that fish, not a trophy. However, so damn proud to bring in a fish like that, tempted to replace the sunflowers. In a small world twist, turns out my old buddy's sister is married to a guy who is cousin to Keegan Bradley's father Mark, whom I know from when Mark was a club pro in Vermont years ago. Mark Bradley's sister is the LPGA star Pat Bradley. So I will dip into political aspects of sports for a moment to say I hope somehow an anti trust suit is brought to keep the Saudi money out of the PGA Tour, otherwise it becomes the PGS Tour. Missed most of the coverage of the first two rounds of the US Open, three holes in one yesterday??? Was fortunate to play LACC many years ago, indeed quirky. When the tournament officials, in this case the USGA set up the course for play, they sometimes go for the drama, put the pin locations in a collection area, a natural "bowl" or concavity that favors a hole in one, the drain on a sink. And yes, on hiatus from the Dead's music for a time, Billy Strings and Phish mostly on the trip.

....I cannot pronounce their name, but I discovered this band just now.
Hmmm.

So UPS is threatening to go on strike August 1st. I hope the PTB at dead.net are keeping tabs on the news because if this happens, a lot of us are not going to receive Dave’s 47. It would be in dead.nets best interest to use FedEx or DHL or just straight USPS this next time around. I read the last time UPS walked out in 1997, it lasted 15 days.

Message sent...thx for the help....

for chiming in so fast to help LOWR. I was going to suggest him reach out to you.

Thanks for all you do for us!
