This one was nice to leave on green for unobtrusive light in the bathroom or blue for good ambient light. We have some Eno string lights in blue/green that travel well too.

I found a medium. Our additional blow up solar light has died a premature death. It is ridiculous!

I saw beautiful shining faces. I saw peace fill the air. I saw couples dancing. I saw friends hugging. The music was fantastic!! It was beautiful - and remains the shining star above it all.

That being said - it was an easy walk from hotel to Whole Foods to stock our kitchenette and sitting area with after show libation and snacks at Hyatt Place. Shuttle from hotel to surrounding areas was free. The after party scene was lame. You had to make your own. That is ok.

Some really drunken sailors. One guy got 16oz solo cup of wine! Ordered 4 glasses and poured it into a chug cup. He was one who could hardly make it up the stairs. Someone pooped their pants too Sat night. It smelled like poo up front. Joe and I were literally looking where we walked as we mov d on. Initially it looked like primo dance space until I sniffed out why.

That guy can play! Holy crap. Saw him open for Grisman. Go run and see - for sure.

I want to tell you- the perfect Mercury Retrograde song.

Can anything be more tragically beautiful and vulnerable than Moonlight Mile....... I want to tell you. I have time like a slow ember.

The harmonies the organ the melodies unfolded just lovely. I swam in the beauty of sound like the stillness of a snorkel dive on a reef. And it stoned me to my soul. And spending it with people who share an easy smile soothes my soul. I danced so hard.

Expressway! Killed it in Boulder - don’t think I could ever tire of that one

3/24/90 Mind Left Body jam

Oh- maybe spellcheck sabotaged me. I was looking up the right title after all. I’ll give a listen. Happy Spring Equinox!

Okay, I see that. I was looking up a lot of those songs that day before work. I found albums from 1996, 1999 and 2003 on Spotify with a lot of the music from that night discovered there. Really enjoyed "Say that I Am"- that spiraling intro - and remembered Lisa singing "Silver Spoon" from Jubilee this part year. Checked the Donna Jean and the Tricksters album listing on Wiki and still no "Golden Heart". Is that a recent original?

I think the most powerful thing you can tell someone is “ I am here for you”. 💖

How does a band go from cool to wrong? Houses of yhe Holy into some cotton stompin jig. Because they are in “Chalott”

Run Mary Run - Spiritual? Golden Hour- ? Matt Knoepler he said she said- Arthur Lee?

Oooo - and extra 6 min on that Dark Star. The original has had some great spacey stuff happening in the transition into Morning Dew

Since 2/11/69 isn’t available online, I listened to 2/12/69 instead. I found these notes interesting and thought I’d share the evidence of our resident music detective. The Dead were on the playbill along with Janis Joplin and the Kosmic Blues band. Here is a link to discussion of that transitional period for her and the music played on 2/12/69 http://www.concertvault.com/janis-joplin/fillmore-east-february-12-1969.html Archive notes Dupree's Diamond Blues, Mountains Of The Moon, Dark Star-> Saint Stephen-> The Eleven-> Death Don't Have No Mercy, Alligator-> Drums-> Alligator*-> Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks) Notes * - 11:29 minutes of the Alligator Jam > Caution segment were missing from the previously seeded version of this show and have been patched into the current version from an alternate partial SBD source containing the Alligator ====> Feedback segment and bearing the same lineage + one cassette gen. The corresponding Feedback segment of the alternate SBD source is also missing approximately 2:00 minutes of Feedback that are actually present in the current version before any patching from the alternate SBD source. The current version would then appear to contain the complete Alligator ====> Feedback segment of the show for a total timing of 28:54. The disc picks up with the last 04:59 of Dark Star. If Deadbase XI is accurate, this disc is missing Dupree's, Mountains of the Moon and the better part of Dark Star.Total disc time prior to patching in the missing 11:29 from the alternate SBD source is 57:03. Total time per Deadlists and Eaton's list is 84:00. If the Eaton version is missing the 11:29 minutes of the Alligator Jam > Caution patched from the alternate SBD source, this could logically account for the resulting 27 minute time difference. and another link http://deadsources.blogspot.com/2017/10/february-12-1969-fillmore-east.html?m=1

Y'all listened to the 2/24/74 Dark Star -> Morning Dew today? That’s the way uh-huh uh-huh I like it. Uh huh uh huh.

This setlist goes perfectly with cinnamon rolls, pineapple, country ham and red eye gravy. i saw some footage of Molo with drummers. We are in for a treat with CA kind!

Ah- you inspired Aaron. No worries. I got Eyes Jam from 73-74 confused with King Solomon’s Marbles. It all rolls into one.

Glad y’all got the electric set. I had heard the equipment was hemmed up tight in Tahoe and might not make it there. Way to go, team DSO!! “Have faith in in your dreams and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through.... no matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true. “
