Saw Bob Weir at the local last night playing with the David Nelson Band. (DN has cancer, BW was covering for him).
They started late, and stopped early. No encore.
BW had zero connection to the crowd. Never aknowledged the audience.
The "word" was he didn't want anyone talking while he was playing, so you were getting constantly shushed by the "heads" for two hours every time you talked to your friends, or even at one point when ordering a drink.
Freak show was abundant. Not impressed by the musicianship, or showmanship.
Thumbs down.
(Hearing some 20 something wanna be hippie talk about her "spiritual experience at the Greatful Dead show last night" made me want to vomit into my coffee this morning)

I'm lost in small rock hell Connectecut, absolutely cut off from the crew - now dispersed to the winds so ?? Who knows? My wife n kids haven't loaded a disc in years. .. . .., 4.5 milk crates of vulnerable vinyl, sadly warping. One amazing Dead/New riders boot o 500 disc pressing or some such, I don't look these things up, might though now.
Anyone here care to chime in or is it to be my pleasure/curse to fill
these pages with mirth and song
The Music NEVER STOPS,
NAUW DA BANDS Au PACKED AND GONE,.. . . . .
.........WHERE THEY EVER HERE AT ALL.
1&2&3,456 let the music play

In terms of making a tour of it > I 'iked' '87 , but it had changed, I think it is a given,, there were shake ups in the entourage.
A place called cafe Bethoven opened, a Queen left the circus. Big " Happy Jack" Gr_ _ _an
Was found dead behind the wheel of his BMW,
am I right (I don't know what's written) were thwarted attempts to try to cure Jerry ?
Did that happene?
All the societal junk ; the flee market transactions had not been able to assimilate.
Scammers, old on young - and - young on old , some times leading an un-aware, brother or sister there to red bus. - or if your travels took you or you, your-self fell prey.
I saw many full crews easily dozens of people leave tour. Many went Phishing but for many 40
Was a cataclysmic re-alignment. As we all had watch our older brothers a SISTERS, both fly and fail, fly away, Crash and make it or crash n' burn. 70 year old Frosted Flakes were stark mirrors, a tapering off at least felt like it was universal.
Things were also weird sad on tour at various venue's
And camps, Juvinile's and Junkies, drama & death rode along, shadowing the habbit had fully frozen out some, and constant medical, re-lapses were often evident rather than the rarity.
As plus to some was the re-entrenchment of chemicals, as X re the old mDma, but te-configured (?) was so not my scene, but it got huge, das boat sails I saw less and less multiples, started to pick a far off California show over 15 east coast shows and always felt well rewarded. Will call and @ door show.

Broadway World: Grateful Dead Musical is in the Works
by BWW News Desk Jun. 5, 2017
Attention all Deadheads! According to an Equity casting notice, a Grateful Dead musical is in the works.
The untitled project is described as: "a new musical comedy, featuring the music of THE GRATEFUL DEAD- a semi-fantastical and immersive Americana tale of the Jones family in 1920's Cumberland, Maryland, as they con, swindle and gamble their way into riches."
Rachel Klein is directing a July reading, with musical direction by Jeff Chimenti.
The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California. Ranging from quintet to septet, the band is known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, psychedelia, experimental music, modal jazz, country, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, and space rock, for live performances of lengthy instrumental jams, and for their devoted fan base, known as "Deadheads".
The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and a recording of their May 8, 1977 performance at Cornell University's Barton Hall was added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2012. The Grateful Dead have sold more than 35 million albums worldwide.

Was on the bus as the ride slowed down,
- we jumped off -
leaving forever the whirling marble of our youth!
Then it took a hearty - 'ave at it !
LIFES not dead yet !
grabbed a-hold, rollercoaster round & up
but I'll always look back
The fondest if most un-clear memories. . . . .
The boys in the Buck-eye nest, Ohio! The Breedlove'!' State; (where the girls were beautiful ( No, 'h' ))
The 1st set,
then the 2nd ~> He's Gone. @1:33:09,,,,(after 'playin' in the band' )
**6/9/91* 26 yrs**
it just bounced up on the YouTube nu-for-u thingy. .. . Worth a listen.

show was great fun on Saturday and the setting at Folsom Field was just really cool. The tailgating scene was nice on campus as well. I think there were more people younger than me than older.

Every year it was so apparent, each encounter from '?. on
was frought with drooling Jerry before shows.
it was sad and his preformance showed,
it slowed the band carried him he never led ,
He always got the top rope treatment
some times they turned him down ,
way don to were he could hear he'd been dropped for the key boards ,
a sacralidge to say
but he'd turned into a junkie
it is sad to see.
Sorry that was not the bump I'd planned to leave!
PICKLES . Are you Lookin' in? I hope you call or that we bump into you again!
