Man, my Raiders are stinking up the joint. So much for McDaniels big plans.

Wow! They’re playing the fuck out of Chinatown shuffle.

I, personally, had a blast catching the Philly show this summer. Spent all my grocery money on balloons, ate shrooms for the first time in 34 years, helped everyone around me with the smoking of their weed, copped a bag for later, danced with beautiful women half my age, ( that’s redundant, all the beautiful women are half my age) had the full on Grateful Dead experience down to catching that they did help/slip but didn’t go into Franklin’s. Enjoyed the meat of the second set knowing that they’re probably going back into Franklin’s and waiting for it. I didn’t say anything to anyone because I didn’t want to be the spoiler. Set list was perfect for me to be back in Philly celebrating 42 years of riding up to catch a show and having a blast. It was just exactly perfect. Maybe it was the totally letting go but I did not even notice any tunes trudging along.

It’s in there. I’m exhausted just reading through the first set song list and imagining the energy in the room. Filler is just a sweet cherry on top.

So sad. My parents had a house on 37th and Asbury since 1968. We could look out back, across the marsh and see that neighborhood. We used to ride our bikes through that neighborhood to get to the marina. They filled in the marsh and built those houses right after world war 2. The houses settled and were all lopsided. We used to ride around and check out the houses with broken backs. One by one, they got rebuilt or replaced. I’m talking circa 1970. I also have great memories of that corner of the world.

Didn’t your mom have a house in OCNJ? Right over the 34th street bridge, in that neighborhood on the right as you come into town?

I’m sorry to hear…

I need to lose my Penn’s Peak Cherry. I think this year may be it.

The Grand in Wilmington is a Sunday show. Just saying. I’m there.

Yet, we all love Lisa.

3/31/18 and 5/26/21 I was in attendance for. Yea, that’s what I thought, just a couple of times a year, more when they first started playing it, just like Jerry and the boys.

Digging the Expressway. Any stats on last time played?

Coolest thing last night; a couple migrated up the front where I was, one back from the rail. The guy explained to me that the lady he was with was deaf. They wanted to get close to stage so she could feel the vibration of the music. I suggested that she needed to have a balloon to hold to better feel the vibrations. (Saw it on the documentary, long, strange trip.) he thought that was a great idea, explained it to her. A guy standing nearby heard us and walked off, came back in a moment with a balloon for her. Pretty cool, was glad to help.

2/14/88 at the Henry J. Kaiser in Oakland. Mighty Quinn encore went right into Easy Wind with Lisa on Harmonica, box a rain, Let it Rock. Great weather, great night.

Playin>Scarlet> Playin, Hhmmm. Interesting.

I was there last year. Basically a stage in a field in a condo complex but better than I am making it out to be. . Gotta get between the speakers to get the best sound. Gotta use GPS to find it.

So, The Shape I’m In, they played it a couple of months ago. Not a bust out but a rare and different tune. Correct? I don’t trust my memory as much as I used to.

Lisa in on vocals on shining star? Or had the fog set in by then?

Absolute crisp perfection, yea, I know the band you’re talking about. Great description. I’m guessing a step above just exactly perfect.

Lovers come and lovers go, but River roll, roll, roll.…. I’ve been all around this world, I could not caution all, I still might warn a few, the sailor gave it least a try, been hiding out, in a rock and roll band….don’t you see? I will not forgive you, if you will not take the chance, gonna get there, I don’t know, you know they’re gonna miss us, the singing man is at his song, never had me such a good time, let the world go by, smile, smile, smile….back where I belong, feels like it might be alright….let the world go by…sleep in The stars….wake up to find out, he’s gone…..

Why don’t we do it in the road.

Satisfaction

Ain’t no bread in the bread box. How sweet it is to be loved by you. Garcia thread drift.

Days between doesn’t count because it starts just like the other songs talked about above.

Truckin’, Let the good times roll, are two that come to mind right away. Shakedown? Sugar Mags, yes. Nice game, it definitely makes you think more about what you’re listening to.
