In 1986 I was told this string of NYE shows were sold out, not surprising since Jerry had overcome such odds and returned in great form. But of the wonderful generous nature in orbiting that Grateful Dead universe , along the side road beside the Kaiser, speakers were set up allowing the generous tent/ lot scene across from the convention center to partake in dance and musical communion. This followed a string of shows for his official welcome back on Dec 15, 16, 17 that my friends” mail ordered, got and attended three nights. In between JGB played the Stone theater some.

who sang Fat Angel? Donovan's vibe is so iconic! What a prolific musician in his time that influence bled into other bands. There is a recent release of Jefferson Airplane performing this live on Spotify.

I understand that the Dark Star with Drums Space was clocked around 30 min!

What a great venue! Old church with 2 balconies. Great crowd. Jack a roe a little different thing going on . Liked it! Lazy Lightning Supplication High time MNS just so fun. Dancing. Smiling faces. Jack Straw was powerful out the gate, Estimated Eyes…. The Other One out of Space taken down to the bare and built back again. Wondrous. A good romp with Me Charlie. All of it! Thank you DSO for coming south! The crew and band you are shining stars. ❤️❤️❤️

A friend who lives in Landrum puts it on. Bands play for a cause. Last year, it was at the BBQ joint on 176.

Ever go to Mistletoe Jam?

Excited for the Tabernacle . My friend says it’s great once you get over the thought of fire or structural failure. 🤣😂 probably adds to the rock n roll atmosphere… tear this old building down!!

Highdamighty! Streamed Shakti from the Ryman Theater last night and pushed it through the Martin Logan 60 in speakers and subwoofer. Incredible. Transported. Just mesmerizing.

I caught Brown Eyed Women at the Salvage Station in Asheville. They rocked it out. Seriously great band. Jill Phone Simmons has a fantastic voice! And how many drummers do you hear sing? This band has one. Go see them and you will thank yourself. If I didn't have such a demanding job, I'd be up in the mountains tonight to see Mikaela Davis.

Stoked I’ll be in Charleston that weekend. Better anyway than a drive to Greenville!

Brian Blade fellowship at the Jazz Kitchen Second Show. Stoner Hill Landmarks Shenandoah Her friends call her Dot Farewell Bluebird dang. Wowzah. Beauty. Ecstasy. Higher ground. Over the moon. so happy I had the luxury of experiencing THAT!! the first shownwas a poignant introduction live.

42!!! some he played like a harp

Pat Metheny Side Eye Project! Thomas Wolfe Auditorium with James Francies on keys of Houston and Joe Dyson on Drums and of course the orchestrion. Wow truly inspired playing by his bandmates. Monstrous! What I've got is...... Have you heard? Antonio Message to a Friend It Starts When We Disappear Timeline When We were Free A dissonant crazy Ornette Coleman song Acoustic melody with This is Not America and Last Train Home included. I think the final exam for a new crew member is can you tune the Picasso guitar? 😉 I did get run over by a spotlight during "It Starts When We Disappear". jeez. It was strong and came right at me. 🤪

7 things that affect your vibration frequency from the point of view of quantum physics. Vibration in quantum physics means everything is energy. We are vibrant beings on certain frequencies. Every vibration is equivalent to a feeling and in the world "Vibrational", there are only two species of vibrations, positive and negative. Any feeling makes you broadcast a vibration that can be positive or negative. 1ST - * thoughts * Every thought emits a frequency to the universe and this frequency goes back to origin, so in the case, if you have negative thoughts, discouragement, sadness, anger, fear, all this comes back to you. This is why it is so important that you take care of the quality of your thoughts and learn how to cultivate more positive thoughts. 2TH - * the companies * The people around you directly influence your vibration frequency. If you surround yourself with happy, positive and determined people, you will also enter this vibration. Now, if you surround yourself with people complaining, gossiping and pessimist, be careful! Indeed, they can reduce your frequency and therefore prevent you from using the law of attraction in your favor. 3TH - * the music * Music is very powerful. If you only listen to music that talks about death, betrayal, sadness, abandonment, all this will interfere with what you are feeling. Pay attention to the lyrics of the music you listen to, it could reduce your vibration frequency. And Remember: you attract exactly what you feel in your life. 4TH - * the things you look at * When you look at programs that deal with misfortunes, dead, betrayals, etc. Your brain accepts this as a reality and releases a whole chemistry into your body, which affects your vibration frequency. Look at things that do you feel good and helps you vibrate at a higher frequency. 5TH - * the atmosphere * Whether it's at home or at work, if you spend a lot of time in a messy and dirty environment, it will also affect your vibration frequency. Improve what surrounds you, organize and clean your environment. Show the universe that you are fit to receive much more. Take care of what you already have! 6TH - * THE WORD * If you claim or speak wrong about things and people, it affects your vibration frequency. To keep your frequency high, it is essential to eliminate the habit of complaining and bad talking about others. So avoid drama and bullying. Assume your responsibility for the choices of your life! 7TH - * GRATITUDE * Gratitude positively affects your vibration frequency. This is a habit you should integrate now into your life. Start to thank for everything, for the good things and what you consider to be bad, thank you for all the experiences you've experienced. Gratitude opens the door for good things to happen positively in your life.

❤️🔥..... 💞 Be gentle with yourself. Best advice I ever heard.

Yeah, need a real man as President.

I think the shows have made me miss you all even more.. dang it. I’ve got the Monday blues.

Nightryder and Corina!!!! Shake it up babe.

Hyryder was a blessed reprieve from the end of live music for us since March 4. Sweet freedom. I needed to dance terribly. It is my first love!! Loosen the stillness and meditate in motion. Pure joy! Flight was a snap and uncrowded airport. It was a reunion a year coming; last time we all danced was Boulder/ Red Rocks with DSO. Wahoo! Hyryder is a tight band with a decidedly psychedelic bent to their interpretation. I've been listening to a lot of psych rock of late; latest is Rose City Band. Good sound with space to dance. Lots of Pigpen these two shows, though I haven't a show of theirs to compare it to. Ripping Cream Puff War. I'm a Hog for you, Baby. Good Lovin 4/25/71 style. High Time was so sweet. First night 2nd set had an origami of Alligator>Schoolgirl> Estimated> Lovelight>Viola. I unfolded with it. lol. I met Ammagamalin Crew second night. Good to know you, buddy!

TO GARCIA by Ken Kesey Hey, Jerry-- what's happening? I caught your funeral. Weird. Big Steve was good. And Grissman. Sweet sounds. But what really stood out -- stands out -- is the thundering silence, the lack, the absence of that golden Garcia lead line, of that familiar slick lick with the uptwist at the end, that merry snake twining through the woodpile, flickering in and out of the loosely stacked chords...a wriggling mystery, bright and slick as fire... suddenly gone. And the silence left in its wake was-- is-- positively ear-splitting. Now they want me to say something about that absence, Jer. Tell some backstage story, share some poigniant reminescence. But I have to tell you, man: I find myself considerably disinclined. I mean, why go against the grain of such an eloquent silence? I remember standing out in the pearly early dawn after the Muir Beach Acid Test, leaning on the top rail of a driftwood fence with you and Lesh and Babbs, watching the world light up, talking about our glorious futures. The gig had been semi-successful and the air was full of exulted fantasies. Babbs whacks Phil on the back. "Just like the big time, huh Phil." "It is! It is the big time! Why, we could cut a chart-busting record to-fucking-morrow!" I was even more optimistic. "Hey, we taped tonight's show. We could release a record tomorrow. "Yeah right--" (holding up that digitally challenged hand the way you did when you wanted to call attention to the truth or the lack thereof) "--and a year from tomorrow be recording a Things Go Better With Coke commercial." You could be a sharp-tongued popper-of-balloons shit-head when you were so inclined, you know. A real bastard. You were the sworn enemy of hot air and commercials, however righteous the cause or lucrative the product. Nobody ever heard you use that microphone as a pulpit. No anti-war rants, no hymns to peace. No odes to the trees and All things Organic. No ego-deaths or born-againnesses. No devils denounced no gurus glorified. No dogmatic howlings that I ever caught wind of. In fact, your steadfast denial of dogma was as close as you ever came to having a creed. And to the very end, Old Timer, you were true to that creed. No commercials. No trendy spins. No bayings of belief. And if you did have any dogma you surely kept it tied up under the back porch where a smelly old hound belongs. I guess that's what I mean about a loud silence. Like Michaelangelo said about sculpting, "The statue exists inside the block of marble. All you have to do is chip away the stone you don't need." You were always chipping away at the superficial. It was the false notes you didn't play that kept that lead line so golden pure. It was the words you didn't sing. So this is what we are left with, Jerry: this golden silence. It rings on and on without any hint of let up...on and on. And I expect it will still be ringing years from now. Because you're still not playing falsely. Because you're still not singing Things Go Better With Coke. Ever your friend, Keez

DSO played Satisfaction on 4/5/14 at the El Rey. It was changed in for Sugar Magnolia. Some guy was up front throwing ice chips at the band first set and got thrown out. Epic Viola Lee Blues! A friend was there on conference and we took my childhood bestie who was practicing plastic surgery at UCLA to her first show. She wore a Metallica black dress with a super low mesh V front and back. Lol. The only time I’ve seen band members before the show out front. Jeff stopped by and told us we were in for a grate show. And it was thanks for spurring the memories .

Ready to take my parents’ long ago offer to knock me into next year.
