One does not mess with Roberta Lincoln ❤️

Watching "Young Frankenstein " tonight for Halloween and in honor of Teri Garr. Been a while, such a classic.

Caught Hyryder at Headliners on Friday night. Their usual solid performance. Songs swirling in my head but cannot even attempt any coherent set lists. Of note… 25 years and 10 months ago at this exact venue I begrudgingly went to my first show where the band played “entire Grateful Dead shows” ( “note for note” lol ). No current DSO band members on stage that night are current, save for Lisa. Long strange trip rolls on.

Announcement of the dead playing same venue 39 yrs ago in October Cincinnati Symphony opened Jack Straw Lost Sailor> Saint Dark Star v1> Truckin Shakedown Street Playing in the Band> Uncle John's Band> Other One> Days Between> Dark Star v2> Playing Reprise> Uncle John's Bobby looked well and paid ascute attention to the conductor throughout. Most everyone I met was from out of town, sitting next to a couple that flew in from Manhattan today flying back tomorrow. 7:30 - 10:10 (20 min set break) Normal GD tempo. What a long strange trip it's been...

a soldier in the armies of the night

Caught first Saint in Glenn Falls and the Richmond split version…that tune came a long way. Hard to believe Lost Sailor bit the dust as Bobby thought it was too long?!…and somehow Desolation Row wasn’t.

Bill's Sailor / Saint info reminds me of the final version (of Salior that is) Spring '86 in Phiily... Bobby at the transition moment: "Just like a Swiss watch." And with that, it was gone!

The sure sign a great time was had. Have carried note taking supplies at shows for years to mark the signposts. Praise DSO.

Breaking in Lost Sailor and Saint of Circumstance on that tour. First four Sailors sans Circumstance, interesting. After those first four, only other instance of Sailor not attached to Saint 85/11/01 Richmond, split by Drums/Space that evening. Praise DSO.

Box Passenger Half step Broken Arrow Here comes sunshine Masterpiece Gimme some lovin GSET China cat Rider Jack straw Unbroken He’s gone TOO Drums space Dark star TOO Low spark OMNS black muddy

9.5 out of 10 China>Rider transition was insane Second set awe inspiring/TOO thru drums/space and then Dark Star>TOO>OMSN wowza will be there tonight again

Definitely Phil heavy all night. They made a note at the beginning that the show was dedicated to him. Jerry’s sunglasses, one of weir’s guitars, and a genuine Phil sweatband were in the flesh. thought the band was hot all night. Half step, sunshine, GSET, china rider were big highlights in the first set along with all of the Phil tunes. Second set was pretty relentless. Heard a jaws theme tease and a love supreme tease somewhere in there. A+. Love my electives.

Anyone else hearing Phil more acutely lately, or is it just me? Praise DSO.

See em all. That’s how you get them. I was on a roll once of 3 straight. Both coasts and a Midwest in a different life.

My favorite Phil moment in the GD anthology is this performance of New Potato Caboose, where out of left field Phil propels the band into a space of musical sanctity. For creating that alone, one deserves the funeral procession of a hero for their modicum in elevating the consciousness of humanity. Rest in peace Phil and hope all of you are well. https://youtu.be/MjYkw_hN21g?si=2deR06NBHh7lXrkC

A life well lived. RIP and eternal thanks for the memories. I guarantee when he got to the pearly gates…..they said we’re not letting you sing up here buddy! Stick to the bass.

Good of him to bring up the Great Society too!

Kinda feels Sunny round here…

Archive.org is back up and running!

early Brent - 79-80 - all I know Scarlet > Fire to open 2nd was beyond measure ❤️ a Monster Terrapin to boot

I've heard several times, maybe also in some 87 shows?

There’s a sailboat on a mooring, down the street in Worton Creek marina, that’s named saint of Circumstance. There’s a Dire Wolf in the same mooring area.

They did: 10/24/79 F: *Love the one the One You’re with, *Piece of my Heart ❤️ *w/Lisa Mackey

SSIA! Enjoy

The French Laundry celebrates Phil From Instagram: The French Laundry, Thomas Keller's 3-Star Michelin restaurant in the Napa Valley, pays homage to Phil. Goes to show, you don't ever know...

this is the most insane setup I’ve ever seen. He made a joke that his HOA didn’t specificity ban lasers and natural gas “fire pits”. He spent a ton on this. make sure to watch the finale.

I love the state of the cowboys. Way too much money invested in Dak and Ceedee. How can you build a team with that much cap space locked into two players. How can a non top 5 QB be the highest paid player in the nfl. It’s crazy. But I love it. Fly eagles fly

Yeah and I can't help thinking of all the times I saw Hunter beg Box as my favorite versions. It's cool that all these courageous dead bands rip St Stephen, esp DSO at Frontier Field and Annie's as a part of an all inclusive elective and a then during a 60's show at the Boulder Theater and they also treated us with the 83 recreation at the Taft the same night MC and Rude Dog skated off to the after show at Stanley's pub with Hyryder. And we get Cucamongas. Guess it wasn't in the dead's wheel house which would have been much better than Wave to the Wind. What a HUGE contribution to the world Mr. Lesh provided with the place in cali and touring all the time! Greg he did the same "So glad you made it" to open the Metrodome one 21 song set in 86 after the Greeks.❤️

The greatness of the Grateful Dead is how each instrument is distinct. I'm heading towards that Rochester 77 bass Eyes opener now. Had a good talk with Too Much Fun between BCE sets learning that he was on tour for Spring 78, lucky duck! after that Rochester specifically mentioning 5/11/78. I need to explore 78 more and am looking for highlights you all know of since the shows back then were most of the same songs night after night. Now I've got one to get into that year. 12/31/78 has always been my go to. Thank you TMF, May the four winds blow you safely home Going to my first Goose shows this weekend, completely blind have not listened to them or watched any YouTube. I was told by a good friend to not miss a hometown show back in October 2020 when he graciously let me have the FG fourth seat at our covid restricted policy of you got to buy a full table. Man did that change my life, probably near 50-60 Hyryders since. Very fortunate to be 2 hrs from Indy, Columbus, Lexington and Louisville. They've kinda stopped Cincy so I'll be heading to Headliners Fri after work. Last time there was for BMFS in 2018 People have been telling me for years " you got to go see Goose" I've held off stating "I'm not taking any new applications"

Went to the game today, Raiders are not good, Thanks

I was in attendance as well… First set was: Bucket Tom Thumb Peggy O MAMU Big River On the road Again West LA Minglewood Werewoles Pride of Cucamonga Let it Grow

The Q - that was the stuff dreams are made of

Hope-n-pray, but if you find out, please let me know! I'll say this though (and watch DSO go the other way), you are more likely to catch a '60's inspired list on nights other than Thursday - Sunday. The holiday season may change this proclivity but I hope the planets align for you!

My third GD show Thanks for the memories

Go to the 4 min mark of Jack Straw and watch Phil get animated as all get out.

The longer I live I find that this old world just seems to get colder and colder and I am lonelier than ever . I'm just glad that I had the chance to exist during a time when there was just a little love and warmth , I remember how the world was mine just waiting for me , till I found out it was waiting to crush me every day , but the sound of this distant warmth and love somehow made it okay . Thank You Mr. Lesh for helping to make this big scarry world a little more close , I'll never forget . You know , it's funny how much has changed .

I stopped seeing Phil cold about 10 years ago because I couldn't tolerate his taking vocals on so much classic Garcia/Hunter material. And pictures of his "Sunshine Daydream" event last summer in Marin had him looking extremely frail, so on one level it's not surprising. But no matter; this one hits hard and deep. I learned of his passing last night while walking the narrow streets of Barcelona, making it that much harder to grasp. An hour later, an intense storm rolled in. Our hotel balcony looks across at the Barcelona Cathedral, and as the rain came pouring down a scintillating lighting and thunder show began behind the cathedral. As the thunder hits continued to rumble, I could only think this was for Phil. While I can't currently crank some prime Phil moments on the stereo, I can still implore others to do the same. Start with 11-5-77 Rochester - Phil's epic bass solo to open the 2nd set and introduce Eyes of the World. RIP, Phil. 🥲

I am without speech. So many thoughts, though. He opened one Spectrum show with the line “ SO GLAD YOU MADE IT ! “, the stage went from black to that. They let Phil sing. Showstopper moment right out of the gate. Waited seven years for Box of Rain. Worth it. I had a cassette of, I think, spring tour ‘87, Spectrum, (there it is again) at the end of every song, while the crowd was screaming, Phil would play the lick from the next song. I don’t subscribe to the thought that the Phil Zone Is the spot in front of his speakers. I think the Phil zone is in the air. It’s everywhere. Especially now. Thanks for the memories.

Just heard, huge loss. Not the way I wanted to go into the weekend. Nothing like the bass bombs heading into the other one, that's what first hooked me. Time to crank up some good ones tonight

Leaning towards GA in the bowl for Jubilee. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be getting everything from the parking lot to camp, esp with Duck's command. Already got 3 Emmylou celebrating the music of Guy Clark purchased for 4/3, 4/4 and final at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee on Sat April 5th splurging to stay at the hotel the theater is housed in with a corner room that has a sitting area to view the city. It will be Anna's and I first time in Milwaukee and I've heard it's quite the town to live it up in.

......aaaand they're back down again. Don't think it's from an attack, there is much larger traffic than usual - attributed to people downloading shows and streaming (or trying to rip streams).

So important in the development of my favorite era. Was never the same when he passed. There was a really great interview with Jerry in rolling Stone that summer where he really opened up like never before. Interest began to wane, the beginning of my appreciation of Emmylou and the Nashville Ramblers. Off the top of my head I think of the Long Beach 81 Shakedown how he and Jerry riled off each other and the Blow Away from 4/8/89

I did Grateville on the river in Louisville. BCE, hot brown smackdown, pranksters, grateful dads; Mr. Please; Captain midnight; pink talking fish todays bluegrass/old and in the way day. I’ll probably watch a little football early and roll over there later.

This weekend (Oct 18 &19) two days of a small GD festival in a Nashville park "Touch of Brews Festival". (Terrapin Beer sponsored) John K will do a solo "acousti'Lectric" show and then set in with other bands both days. My family is even going along to Nashville which is unusual.

I did Indy last night and am doing pink talking fish in Covington tonight. Sam and his fiancé are still coming up for Billy tonight.
