Assume you made it in. Don’t see many big dogs asking on here. CashorTrade has popped up to $50 a year for gold which made me cringe a bit but I owe those dudes for getting me into 2 impossible shows for big artists doing special super small capacity shows but Billy strings made it get too big with his partnership. Now everyone’s on it. Have about 40 trades and got several miracles on it with countless $20 tix with 80+ face.

hold up. You listen to the Grateful Dead? Thought you were a Swifty. But that’s another thing you can’t touch with a 10 foot pole or you will be cancelled quicker than Holy Moly. Too soon? I just assumed in today’s day and age you were supposed to ask for consent to have sex. Of course after a no then that’s it but just asking multiple people can end you now and god forbid you ask someone who has a boyfriend. You may never earn a living again!. But this is probably something else that shouldn’t be touched with a 10 foot pole.

By the time he gets to it, Jonah hill on Wegovy will be down to 105 pounds and they will have to recast Jerry.

well she didn’t make it to Woodstock so it was appropriately stolen. It’s well known you can only write about places you’ve been like Fennario but Hunter like usual won’t tell us where it is. And then you get these confusing places like Louisiana and then it may referencing a French area that stole its name from America. Not sure why Europe can’t come up with its own towns names. I mean Europe has had cities for almost 600 years, even before Jesus came to America with Joseph Smith and invented the railroad.

Woodstock by CSNY may be a top 10 song ever written but then again it stirs jubilee feelings. I hope Rob K wasn’t just wishful thinking when he said see you next year at Jubilee. Nelson ledges sounds amazing but July 4 weeks are locked in for us in perpetuity at the beach house. Speaking of that. I’ll be sunning and boss baby will be digging in the sand all day. The 20 large ankle breaking holes in my back yard are just practice for the malleable sand. I’m like buddy please stop digging holes in the yards. Worms daddy. Yeah I know.

Mei went to St. Louis tonight to see James Taylor with her sister. Was at setlist.fm and luckily he does 2 sets plus a triple encore for a total of around 2:20 of music. on that note he played Red Rocks June 2nd and 3rd. Exact same setlist each night. That just seems weird. I’m sure many saw both nights but likely didn’t care I guess. Her friends at work are like 3 straight nights you see a band. Yeah. They don’t play repeats over 10 hours of music in 3 days she retorts but they are confused about people going to 1 show wanting to hear the hits.

This was some of the stuff that made me tear up this morning. I remember a few years ago all our deadhead friends in KY were so excited that Bill Walton was an announcer for his 1st and only KY basketball game as he did PAC 10. We were so pumped to watch the game just to hear how off the rails he’d go. Dave Pasch was his 12 year announcing partner and just a brilliant play by play guy who had to reel Bill in a lot and also became a deadhead and would quote dead lyrics himself. He posted a bunch of funny tweets and screenshots bill sent him over the years and I linked them below. One video about bill made me cry again just now. bill kreutzmann There are incredible stories about Bill Walton that I promised him I would only tell after he passed away, and it's not nearly that time yet because before we laugh, first we must allow ourselves to cry. Darn it. This is a mournful day. This is a period of mourning. Sure, Bill Walton was an NBA legend. But in the Grateful Dead orbit, he was just a fan - and that made him a legend here, too. In many ways, he was our number one fan... but Bill would've taken issue with that ranking because, while he won many awards in his storied basketball career - including MVP — Bill insisted that the Grateful Dead was not a competition - and that all Deadheads were equal. By that same notion, as I flash through decades of adventures with him, there isn't one favorite memory. They all shine through. And they're all important, because they all brought us both real happiness. And that's special. That's friendship. Bill was a genuine fan that became a genuine friend and someone I always looked up to. But his towering presence was more than just literal. Whenever I play, there will now always be a hole where a seat should be, about ten rows back, center, where Bill used to stand, eyes closed, arms raised, while he felt the music running through him. That was a happy place for him and seeing him out there was one of mine. We never did have a hard time finding him in the crowd. Similarly, when he walked into a room, you knew it - but it wasn't because of his size. It was because of that laugh of his that broadcasted joy, and it was his easygoing smile that beamed sunshine across any space he ever entered. So, yeah, losing Bill is an irreplaceable loss and, in simple terms, I am heartbroken. When somebody means that much to you, when their friendship is that important - that's called love. I loved Bill Walton. As we say in the land of the Dead: May the four winds blow him safely home. Bob Weir Yo Bill, thanks for the ride. Thanks for the wonderful friendship, the years of color commentary - and the Hall of Fame existence that you wore like headlights. Bon voyage ol' buddy. We're sure gonna miss you - but don't let that slow you down... mickey hart Bill was my best friend, the best friend I ever had. He was an amazing person, singular, irreplaceable, giving, loving. His love for our music was beyond description. He called himself the luckiest man in the world but it was us who were lucky-to know him, to share the adventure with him. He was the biggest Deadhead in the world and used our music as the soundtrack to his life. After our shows, he would regularly send messages that said, "thank you for my life." Over 1000 shows, he just couldn't get enough. Bill had an incredible passion for drums. After any meal at his house, we would play. There was nothing like a Bill Walton... nothing. There are things you can replace. And others you cannot. Bon voyage, old friend, I love you. john mayer Bill Walton lived a life that the rest of us could only hope to achieve on our second (or third) go-round. He had an eye toward the truly important stuff, the stuff we already know better than to lose sight of, but often do. One of Bill's great talents was to reorient you so as to stand bedside him and see the light in life that he refused to break eye contact with. The climb to acceptance is steep in the Grateful Dead universe, and Bill gave me a huge lift up those stairs with his kindness, his encouragement, and his friendship. He will be so deeply missed, but his approach to life will never be forgotten. I think it's pretty good advice that when times get tough, everything will be okay if you just pretend to be Bill Walton. Thank you Bill. this is a vid Dave Pasch retweeted that pretty much sums up the type of person Bill Walton was. Couldn’t help but cry the last t-shirt “I survived 12 years working with bill walton and I’ll I got was this t-shirt” couldn’t be truer. Dave Pasch was like a cattle wrangler trying to keep bill in some games. On the blowouts he’d just let bill tell stories as that was probably the only thing that kept anyone watching. Bill would be like what’s the point of talking hoops. This games over. Now let me finish my story i have a video somewhere on my phone where bill was off the rails announcing a game and Dave said “maybe you had too much too fast” 😂

I read Mickey and Bill’s insta tributes to bill and literally started crying just now. Could be a few day post jubilee emotions involved but it was these happy tears that just kept flowing reading comments and stories of others below. The luckiest man in the world. I feel that way every time I’m at a show. I say “we are in the best place in the world at this moment” and to us it’s true. There’s nothing like a dead show and if it ain’t the real thing it’s close enough to pretend.

prob have seen this but it’s a good 3 minute watch. Whether this happened exactly like he told it may be questionable but it’s a story from years past and details are always fuzzy.

the last 2 years have been free of profiling. It wasn’t looking for hippie types. It was a spotter saying a green Subaru leaving the grounds is on the eastbound I-70. Ramp 5 minutes from your location. That’s how on a 3 lane road with lots of traffic they just happened to only pull over festival goers. Besides friends getting arrested year 1, our neighbors this year got arrested in 2015 over some herb and Sunday night like smart people they were offering everything left over to not drive with it. With weed legal now there, they can’t use the car smells like herb excuse anymore to empty out all your possessions on the side of the road like in the past but it’s still a smart play to not carry anything sans herb out. Some peeps got busted with $10 worth of stuff and had to travel back to Ohio for court. Definitely not worth risking turning your life upside down.

Had to delete my angry rant. I can’t get past it Every time I see the boarded up French door I get angry and I think it’s a nice but sketchy neighbor who knew I was gone but knew I was gone 40x before.

that was a 1st time played by DSO I think? Def a 1st for me

We are only doing the grateful for biggie night. Dead and notorious BIG hybrid. I couldn’t even make that one up if I was on a sarcastic roll. That’s a real act.

A buddy just saw Daniel danato a few days ago in St. Louis and said it was epic.

it’s funny b/c he never asked me my steps. He said his. I didn’t want to engage a phone to check. this is also 1st time DSO played I just want to make love to you by Foghat I believe.

Non edited?? Hey Picky cat is a great song. I trust Apple to get it right and they never fail.

I was late with set 2 addition b/c fun was happening and now wobbling to bed. And was like oh shit. Forgot to add set 2.

We are staying in Brevard which is around 45 mins south with a friend so we prob will just hit the show and back each night

seceral years they did those 4th of July mini runs in the Midwest. This year it’s Colorado and lately it’s been Cali. Those mini runs of 6 or so shows were my favorite time of year. We did them all for 4-5 years until C-Day and B-Day.

Happy Dew Day. They say everything’s been said but that popped into my mind b/c 5-8 is a badass Dew.

So 1k streams is $3-$5? That adds up. I’d write the song name as Frankie’s tower(Taylor’s version) to really cash in!! Or add (remix) to every song to get the DJ crowd. I’m making a band called Tailor Swift for the peeps who can’t spell which is 50% of high school kids these days. Have you seen how bad grammar is these days. In high school engkish if you had a run on sentence that’s an F. Meili had this group masters paper and one dude used not 1 period literally over a page and a half and he was in a masters program. wtf. I was baffled how you could get a college degree not understand basic grammar like using a period.

plays = money. I found a ton of old flash drives and I have like 40 Dso shows on them from 2005-2016 that I want to get to archive since they aren’t selling them. Really wish Rob E would start an upload project on old snows. I know there are plenty of tapers here who would be glad to help. The nice thing is they are already edited and tracked mostly. there was a time that I was listening to so much DSO that the dead shows all sounded so bad after listening to DSO boards. Now I just listen to the dead. Rob was also putting out lots of shows and I was seeing a lot live so was reliving the experience

started watching the movie American Fiction last night which was really good until meili fell asleep 50 mins in and I had to stop it but the writers pseudonym was Stagg R. Lee. the true story of stagger Lee and Billy delyon. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-legend-of-stagger-lee-is-born#
