First time live was summer of '69...Piedmont Park, Atlanta
A day or so after the big festival, GD suddenly arranged a free gathering in the park... Spirt, Dalanty and Bobby and some Friends, Chicago Transit Authority, and then a couple long Dead sets...first time I saw PigPen standing there a few feet in front of us...allsome sight

108-109 Salvage Station, Ashville, June 16-17, 2023 A wonderful weekend with friends while staying on the mountain top at Chris and Krisie's beautiful home.

110 Chattanooga, Oct 15, 2023 my retirement show. It was a really fun evening starting with dinner with Dino and other friends at the Speakeasy across the street then at the rail for the first set which included the best "Red Rooster" I've heard. It was good to hear Bobby Whitlock's and Clapton's song "Keep on Growing". For second set I went upstairs where I could occasionally sit down to rest my old body. The combined "Dark Star>Drums 'n Space" clocked right at 30 minutes. A beautiful young lady started dancing in the space in front of Chris and me which got me up shaking my bones again. "Wharf Rat" brought on a slow dance while we listen to the story of those less fortunate.....after Saturday Night and Brothers and Sisters, "I got up and wandered
Wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just hang around" Outside there was a little band playing on the flatbed truck and folks dancing a bit and a few dogs on leash watching everyone have fun. Peace and Love, Doc

112 Salvage Station, Ashville, May 18, 2024 On the rail dancing with the most beautiful girl in the world, (thank you, Jen) and Donna taking my hand at set break to get food in me for the first time all day. Latter The Englishman Derek could not find a candy bar so I somehow pulled a bowl of peanut M&Ms out of the thin air.
