So my response is a reaction to the vibe of that time. “How authentic a deadhead are you? “ was a prevailing mentality. It was a big turn off. Everything I read about beatniks and counterculture from 50s and 60s was anything but that mentality. So I guess after In the Dark, the close mindedness to youngsters at the show really ruined the vibe for both sides. I was lucky to be ferried in with a lot of older heads but I didn’t stray too much from the tribe except to chat up the tapers and get a tape or a list. It wasn’t that welcoming. By fall 1992, I was out. Therefore- I think it is important to look past stereotypes and preconceptions because fresh eyes might be the future.

Define Touch Head, please.

Dear Mr Fan😍tasy

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Gus, Gus. Let me ask you a question. C’meer Gus. C’meer. Why is the fire so big? Why? Look at that sh$t. It is ridiculous. The mf%^*ing Fire is too big. Why? Every year you come over here and burn my mf&$&ing backyard down.

Reminds me of Eddie Murphy talking about his uncle BBQing

Well-justified opinions go a long way with me and make this thread interesting. Clasic vs Legendary. Classic show would be one you could pull and say this is an true example of Grateful Dead set lists from this era.. Solid. Goes with anything and everything. A Straight . A flush. A pair of Aces. Trusty. Legendary or quintessential would mark in some way outstanding, irreplaceable, a creme de la creme. Royal Flush. A straight flush. 4 of a kind.

It reads like the randomness of a tornado!

Filler?? Wowzy Help On the Way means something a little different to me now thiat Paradise, CA gone. We had planned to have that show as the last night of our first West Coast music tour before driving on to Sacramento and flying to Denver to meet kids and look at schools. Prayers for rain for California. Gonna go spread compost around my garden and be thankful for the rain and sun and beauty.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna934086 Paradise is in 🔥 flames! On the crest of a wave of the Camp Fire. The whole town they say has burned. 27k evacuated. It was burning the equivalent of 25 football fields per minute!

The stigmata!!

What are the chances? 1/9500?? lol

From a friend: DSO was great!! ‘74 Miami set was excellent. The venue has some problems - thousands of people and 8 porta potties - with no refresh YUK

I recognized you and your shirt from Philly NYE shows? That guy I invited to hang out. That is you? Yes - I was dancin with Huck @ RR. My husband and I have 2 children ( but boy and girl) . And we met studying chemistry.

I follow this intuitive healer and her latest blog talked about the end of summer and descent into fall that, for many, is all fine if you talk about cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice, but not the death and decay that comes with it. I have been learning to slow down in the winter, sit by the fire with books, craft and enjoy slow stews and the quiet introspective hibernation where the time is ruled more by the moon than the sun. I find this lack of struggle against the season changes to be nourishing and more in line with what my body is telling me to do. Last year, the 4 day run after Christmas and back to work after traveling left me upside down striving to find up again. It would be diff if I didn’t have to travel of course. About Feb the promise of March and longer days I perk up and looking forward to the travel to begin to spread my wings again. 💗

Looking forward to seeing Huck, Rob, John, Tracy and Brenna and maybe Mango, if he is around... Weather cant be any more of a shock to the system than 55 degrees in July

Yeah- well kids have a way of changing your plans. Their dreams become your dreams. Dream Bowl dreams. I love that show- it was on the board I said that a couple of weeks ago. Only said we were planning to hitt some West Coast shows. Plus Las Vegas to Tucson to San Diego isn’t my speed.

No - Oregon and North Cali 🙂

Excited for this tour as I can’t wait to dance it out in a west coast vibe. We are trading soaking up warm weather for soaking up warm hearts.

I used to tell my daughter when she’d get feelings hurt as a friend buddied up and she felt left out in that moment that she was an amazing hot fudge sundae and just because someone felt like key lime pie or chocolate cake it is no way diminished her sundae.

Is that place called the Mighty Quinn!?

The kids say it is a real uphill battle to leave the nest.
