Easy Wind

Indeed. Last summer I saw a local GD tribute band that I’ve seen enough that I’ve gotten to know a few of the members. I asked the lead singer if they ever do Morning Dew and wasn’t happy with the answer. “It’s too long. It’s a bit of a dirge” and that they rarely do it. These are young musicians and seemed surprised when I said that every fan goes to every show hoping to get a Morning Dew and always has. WTF?

This was my first time seeing the band, despite being a 63 year old Deadhead and I was very impressed! The State is local to me and it feels like home. That feeling was reinforced by the band’s energy and old timey punch. It was fantastic to see 3 generations of fans there but the over zealous security guy doing the General Patton impression was a comical bummer if that makes sense. I walked up to him to get metal detected and channeled John Candy in Stripes by saying “How’s it goin’ Eisenhower?” 😀 Great show, great set list, especially since the Pigpen era is my favorite stuff.
