    When you hit on the head with your beer bottleSomething in my chemistry did change Oh before I decided to forgive you My friends think I'm permanantly deranged When I wake up and try to put things all together Of all the lovin' times that we did have I get static in the ears and a hazy picture And I hear your voice inside begin to laugh I hope that it's all amnesia Believe me I'm sick but not insane Yeah I hope that it's all amnesia My friends they don't look at me the same Sometimes i feel OK, but when I talk I stutter I can't remember back a few minutes ago The doctors all come up with the same answers Boy if I'm that far gone there's nowhere left to go I hope that it's all amnesia Believe me I'm sick but not insane I hope that it's all amnesia My friends they don't look at me the same I hope that it's all amnesia Believe me I'm sick but not insane I hope that it's all amnesia My friends they don't look at me the same. (Chorus 2 more times to end)

    American Pie Don McLean Buy for $1.29 SubscribeStart Free Radio Subscribe to Google Play Music and listen to this song and millions of other songs. First month free. Lyrics A long long time ago I can still remember how That music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride Something touched me deep inside The day the music died So Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Did you write the book of love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so? Do you believe in rock and roll? Can music save your mortal soul? And can you teach me how to dance real slow? Well, I know that you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm and blues I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died I started singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Now, for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a rolling stone But, that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the king and queen In a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you and me Oh and while the king was looking down The jester stole his thorny crown The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned And while Lennon read a book on Marx The quartet practiced in the park And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died We were singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye And singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Helter skelter in a summer swelter The birds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul on the grass The players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast Now the half-time air was sweet perfume While sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance 'Cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died? We started singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye And singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation lost in space With no time left to start again So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend Oh and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in Hell Could break that Satan's spell And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died He was singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play And in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken The church bells all were broken And the three men I admire most The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died And they were singing Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die They were singing Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die

    Agreed, not awful....problem as I see it in da Buff is we deadheads become obsessed and at times live in the past.....was 6-27/15 or 6/28 for that matter ....5/09/77 or Europe 72..... Or even one of those Philly Spectrum shows of yore....no, not by a long shot....but there were hiccups and mistakes, and both nights the boys averted caution and stopped on the tracks in set two pre drums....you know what though....it's all good....look in the mirror lately? I did....don't look nor walk nor talk like I did in 72 or 77..... Circle of life...wheel thingy.... To all you haters....THERE IS NOTHING......LIKE A GRATEFUL DEAD CONCERT, not even Bieber.... Can I get a witness?

    Gone to Rock n' Roll heaven to play rhythm for Jerry... I'll be the roundabout The words will make you out 'n' out I spend the day your way Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley The music dance and sing They make the children really ring I spend the day your way Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you I will remember you Your silhouette will charge the view Of distance atmosphere Call it morning driving thru the sound and even in the valley In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land The eagle's dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand Go closer hold the land feel partly no more than grains of sand We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand Next to your deeper fears we stand surrounded by a million years I'll be the roundabout The words will make you out 'n' out I'll be the roundabout The words will make you out 'n' out In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there Twenty four before my love and I'll be there I'll be the roundabout The words will make you out 'n' out You spend the day your way Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

I was bummed I missed ASL, Deadgeek, Seeing Red and Stellamoon. :-( Look forward to meeting you ALL in Chicago...we're gonna do it up big in the windy city... I didn't bring phone numbers so I missed TruckinEric and Eyes of Rocklin also. Hope you guys had great shows!

I am prepped and ready for my face to be melted clean off my head on 11/20. Caught a few glipses and musical interludes of last nights show...Hey Rich, you had a good spot! I have two extra seats for the Dead and Co in STL so unless someone comes out of the woodwork who wants them I am going to be seat hopping back and forth between club seats and section 110. And to the OD last night at Da Buff...learn to hold ur shit maaan...I wouldn't want to miss a second of the show.

i don't understand this evil. i wonder what this will do to the very young, growing up in fear of these kinds of acts. i recall the atom bomb drills of the cold war when i was in elementary school, but we did not really understand what it was all about. there was no 24x7 CNN and other coverages, showing all the carnage. we knew the bomb was bad but we did not fully grasp the danger i think. the young kids today get to SEE it over and over. parents, grandparents, please hug and reassure the little ones.

Been following this tour since 10/29 Albany, playing has gotten much tighter but is it me or are the set lists getting predictable and stagnant? Same songs being rotated in different order, repeating every 3 shows or so. Now I know Mayer and Oteil are new to this but, well just want to see if anyone else shares the opinion, maybe I just need a break from it.... Contrasting to Phil's recent runs at the Cap...on 11/1 he pulled out day job for the encore....whilst not a barn burner of a classic dead song it did put a smile on my face....if for no other reason, spontaneity. Come to find out that night he replayed the 11/1/85 set list song for song...reminds me of going to see DSO. Anyway to all who are yet to go, enjoy.....these are some high energy shows for sure....and being there is well worth your time....at least once.

What a lovely post! I need to echo the same...my life has changed for the better since we all started this journey nearly one year ago. We may not see each other but it's sure nice to know we can "talk" and reach out whenever... I think of all of you often and treasure our new cyber-friendships and especially the music that made it all happen.

Hi everyone, Just checking in, as I have mostly had my head down attending to the mundane for the last few months. However, I got the chance to spin my noggin a bit last week at the Broomfield and Vegas shows (despite a nagging cough). The shows were great--11/28 2nd set, in particular, was very notable. Got to see Gob and (you can call me) James in Vegas so that was a treat. Gob even brought Christmas to the show . . . literally. Hoping to go to Cali at the end of the month but we will see.

...now, more than ever, we need to celebrate the good in our country, and the Good Old Grateful Dead have sure provided a lot of that. While not minimizing what happens tragically, we do need to focus on peace, love and bringing a smile to those around us. Mona posted that today was the official name change for the Boys to the Grateful Dead, and that happened 50 years ago...so happy happy birthday guys. As I reflect on the violence that seems to happen on an unfortunate regular basis, I can't help but think as a society we can do a better job. Think globally, act locally comes to mind....and for me, that starts with my own personal thoughts and what kind of spirit I want to have, and project to those close by. We can each make this place a better place, and we each need to do that. We each need to take responsibility for our thoughts, words and deeds, and strive to make this world a better place, one smile, one song, one hug at a time. So greet a friend, look someone in the eye, and say "I care". Think good thoughts, and yes, mourn and grieve as necessary, but know that your smile, your gesture, your words are important to us all. Best wishes, good thoughts and prayers to those hurting today. May the music provide warmth, your friends provide compassion, and memories of a real good time bring a smile to your spirit. Take care one and all...you matter to us as you matter to your friends and family. Peace to you and yours. geo

Geo, your thoughts are spot on and if we all took those words to heart the world would indeed be a better place. These are troubling times for sure. Thank the Great Spirit for the Good Ole Grateful Dead...a box of rain will ease the pain and love will see you through.

Jerry returned to the stage 5 months after emerging from a coma. I was celebrating turning 21, oblivious to all things Dead. Took me 28 more years to find the bus stop but sure glad I did! I miss Jerry! Geeky PS - He played ALTHEA!

Here's to you, Geeky One, this fine daywhether you celebrate your 50th at work or at play: Yaay! Lisa gets to celebrate 50 trips around the sun, keep remembering you can't never have too much fun; May all the smiles and laughter and joy make you feel young like one with a new toy; Know that the strangers who are now your friends, are singing and dancing with you around each bend; And as you stop and reminisce, we trust there will be many moments of bliss; We wish for you many more years of music and love, with a spirit that matches the morning dove; Thanks for sharing your days with us, for our world got better when you got on the Bus. Speaking for Daydreamers near and far: HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY TO A SHINING STAR!

Did anyone notice excessive grainy picture quality during segments of their blu-ray or dvd video discs? Most noticeable on July 4th disc 2, during the fireworks. Interested to find out either way. Trying to determine if it was produced that way or if it's a defective disc. Otherwise it's an amazing capture of a magical week in Chicago. Thanks.

Lisa I wish I would have know. I already booked Super Bowl week there and got tickets for Santana at Mandalay Bay's House of Blues, can't swing another trip that soon. Enjoy.... And on a more serious note, five days til Festivus 2015.... Gonna shine the aluminum pole and prepare for the airing of grievances and feats of strength. Gotta love the Holidays....if not, just play Dead. Happy Friday freaks!
