Fall Tour kicks off in Birmingham, AL tomorrow ! Have fun, stay safe, stay lit, and spin it it like you're in a centrifuge ⚡ Miss my dancing tribe......

The Anthem is a premier, world class music venue! Sound and space kick ass. hoping to make it but it will be a game-time decision given my many cross-currents.

Dallas Red Zone Offense was a total and complete dumpster fire.

Happy Birthday! I hope your rehab from surgery is going well and you’re on the road to being pain-free ❤️ have a relaxing birthday!

The 10p kick for CU v CSU was tough so I bowed out at halftime. Sounds like an amazing finish! Oregon will have something for Colorado - hoping for a close game. If the Buffs lose, it will be interesting to see how Deion handles it.

Welp - Aaron Roger’s NY Jets career (possibly football career) is over after 4 snaps with a torn Achilles - at age 39. What a disaster and how so very ‘Jets’ that it happened this way. Zach Wilson is not the answer - gotta try to trade for a backup (Jacoby Brisset, Teddy’s Bridgewater, maybe Jamis Winston?). Teams know they’re desperate but maybe they can get a better QB option for the (2) 4th round picks the Jets have.

Long-Time listener, 1st time caller, love the show. Week 1 in the books! Dallas, San Francisco have statement wins, rookie QB’s take their lumps, 10 road teams win, and WTF happened to the Bengals?! Happy to have the NFL back!

Eaton puttin these out or just original taper ?

Eaton just had successful spinal surgery. Here’s to a speedy recovery for Rob! I hope he’s feeling like his old self soon - {{{Healing Vibes}}}

Festival season has made it tougher to stream their stuff given shitty WiFi or weird start times. These didn't get streamed live either but they uploaded Fridays sets to archive and from what I heard, they were clearly feelin IT. Also interesting to note that they played a total of 7 sets over 2 days and never played Scarlet > Fire or China > Rider. They're going pretty deep into the catalogue

Hey, Jerry-- what's happening? I caught your funeral. Weird. Big Steve was good. And Grissman. Sweet sounds. But what really stood out -- stands out -- is the thundering silence, the lack, the absence of that golden Garcia lead line, of that familiar slick lick with the uptwist at the end, that merry snake twining through the woodpile, flickering in and out of the loosely stacked chords...a wriggling mystery, bright and slick as fire... suddenly gone. And the silence left in its wake was-- is-- positively ear-splitting. Now they want me to say something about that absence, Jer.Tell some backstage story, share some poigniant reminescence. But I have to tell you, man: I find myself considerably disinclined. I mean, why go against the grain of such an eloquent silence? I remember standing out in the pearly early dawn after the Muir Beach Acid Test, leaning on the top rail of a driftwood fence with you and Lesh and Babbs, watching the world light up, talking about our glorious futures. The gig had been semi-successful and the air was full of exulted antasies. Babbs whacks Phil on the back. "Just like the big time, huh Phil." "It is! It is the big time! Why, we could cut a chart-busting record to-fucking-morrow!" I was even more optimistic. "Hey, we taped tonight's show. We could release a record tomorrow. "Yeah right--" (holding up that digitally challenged hand the way you did when you wanted to call attention to the truth or the lack thereof) "--and a year from tomorrow be recording a Things Go Better With Coke commercial." You could be a sharp-tongued popper-of-balloons shit-head when you were so inclined, you know. A real bastard. You were the sworn enemy of hot air and commercials, however righteous the cause or lucrative the product. Nobody ever heard you use that microphone as a pulpit. No anti-war rants, no hymns to peace. No odes to the trees and All things Organic. No ego-deaths or born-againnesses. No devils denounced no gurus glorified. No dogmatic howlings that I ever caught wind of. In fact, your steadfast denial of dogma was as close as you ever came to having a creed. And to the very end, Old Timer, you were true to that creed. No commercials. No trendy spins. No bayings of belief. And if you did have any dogma you surely kept it tied up under the back porch where a smelly old hound belongs. I guess that's what I mean about a loud silence. Like Michaelangelo said about sculpting, "The statue exists inside the block of marble. All you have to do is chip away the stone you don't need." You were always chipping away at the superficial. It was the false notes you didn't play that kept that lead line so golden pure. It was the words you didn't sing. So this is what we are left with, Jerry: this golden silence. It rings on and on without any hint of let up...on and on. And I expect it will still be ringing years from now. Because you're still not playing falsely. Because you're still not singing Things Go Better With Coke. Ever your friend, Keez
