  1. Interesting, Bill Graham bought the Warfield theatre so the Grateful Dead could play there for two weeks straight in 1980, acoustic first sets. 40 some years later, we have Dark Star Orchestra playing the Warfield, acoustic first set. …all the years combined, they melt into a dream…
  2. Wow! I wonder if land of the Navaho is a first time played. So cool. Or even the hobo song. Nice!
  3. I think the first couple/few years of the Brent era are underrated. A lot of gems in there, I think.
  4. Dey sure are fun to watch
  5. So, Cooper Kupp is a deadhead? That changes everything.
  6. See, that’s just the kind of thing that I am talking about. His youthful enthusiasm gets in the way of acknowledging that he hasn’t been where he’s about to be before in his life. He would be better off in the long run if he were to lose and learn humility. He is the underdog. He must perform his way out of the underdog title. He Isn’t the champion yet. For your sake, I hope he wins and shakes the underdog reputation. Then, he doesn’t have to say a thing. He can just smile while hitting that stoggie.
  7. I suspect that Mahomes and company are going to send that dog home with his tail between his legs. I fear that boy is setting himself up for an education.
  8. Gotta do something about not letting the other team touch the ball in overtime. It would be nice to see the level of play that we saw in the last few minutes go on. It sucks to have your fate decided by a coin toss. In my opinion.
  9. I’m batting 500. One child just rolls her eyes and refuses to talk about it. I did get a Grateful Dead Igloo cooler for Christmas, though. My son has caught a couple of Dark Star shows, he tells me stories of how he sees Deadheads at a gas station with stickers on their car and he’ll start rapping with them about his deadhead dad and walking away, screaming back to them ‘I need a miracle’ and watching their mouths drop open and shaking their heads. So, Rude, three minutes later, I’m pregnant? You sure you wanna go with that? Don’t want to change your story? Sorry, Buddy, but if you pitch me a slow one down the middle, I’m gonna knock it out of the park. Don’t worry, sometimes I only open my mouth to change feet.
  10. Caught one of those Jerry band shows in Baltimore., singing ain’t no bread in the breadbox for two weeks straight after that show.
  11. No thanks, I’ll just have me another helping of Dark Star, if that’s ok. ….eat it up, don’t try to understand….
  12. Eaton giving us Frozen logger in Wilmington, De. A few years back. Probably my first show with Barracco on keys bringing us Easy wind at the Electric Factory. Lisa delivering donna’s tune Sunrise, also at the Electric factory. Skip giving us Pride of Cuccamonga at the Cork. At first glance, this is what I see etched in my memory.
  13. Rolling’ Stones, can’t you hear me knockin’ .
  14. He needs to get up with the Tin man from the Wizard of Oz. He could give him tips on outfit lubrication. O-OI-IL C-AN, OI-L CA-N.
  15. How much does that cost? The same as a small, used sedan?
  16. Yea, my Raiders stunk up the place, beat themselves. They didn’t deserve to win. That’s what’s so great about a Dark Star show. You always leave feeling like your team won the Super Bowl.
  17. Saint of Circumstance going to commercial on the Eagles game.
  18. So just imagine how bad it was two years later when the band closed it down. It was only good for pissing on before a spectrum show.
  19. South Philly. Vet stadium, saw the Phillies win the World Series there in ’80. The Spectrum, not just 26 Dead shows, but pretty much all of the other bands I have seen. (No others after my first Dead show) JFK stadium, my first concert, Gary Wright, Peter Frampton and Yes. Two Dead shows. They’re all gone. Saw Dark Star do an outdoors Covid show in the parking lot there. I took a look around during the show, thinking about all the energy there in that sacred ground. The Broad street bullies, Dr. J and the sizers, all those army/Navy games. I could count on the moon, though, rising during the show, just as it did in ‘89, when Jerry was singing Standing on the moon in JFK. He pointed to it, across the stadium from the stage, as it rose above the highest seats. …right up there on that crescent…
  20. A couple of times in RFK, I thought we were going to demolish it. Everybody’s dancing, the upper deck is flexing to the beat. Pretty cool.
  21. That was my thought. If there’s no adults, no shows, stay home!
  22. I just got first pics of the resort from Hugh, Likeeveryone. Blue sky and Sun while I sit in cold, Rain and Snow. Super jealous. Enjoy everyone!
