Official Grateful Dead Thread

Dark star is playing summer fest this year. Last time they were there it was a real barn burner.

I've seen DSO at Summerfest before. Didn't care for that Rob Eaton guy.

I'll just enjoy the holiday weekend locally. Burns me that I'm loosing that week of pay though.
 
Emma was out so I watched it last night - had some nice moments.
I tend to be more of a Jerry fan - I always though Bob fancied himself the Ricky Nelson of the Band.
Bob worked best for me when he was in balance with Jerry's playing.
Although I saw Kingfish ages ago - the musically intertwined band was the thing.

Anyway, its a film worth watching ...

Hey,
Sorry for a bit of a tangent question. Has anybody bought from the Jerry Garcia website? Are they legit?
Thanks in advance

On the Weir movie,
I watched the other week. I think I was most amused by the prankster part. If you read the electric koolaid acid tests and searching for the sound (Leshs' book) you mostly had the stories. If you're here you owe it to yourselves to watch. My 2c
 
I ran into a guy last night at the Wheels Of Soul tour. He showed me a pic of his GD rejection letter and the returned MOs. We had a good laugh over it and then he proceeded to give the pic the finger. I told him I just ripped mine apart and threw it out.

Now that I'm working in IL I get to hear them giving away tickets all the time on XRT. Of course that pisses me off too.

Oh BTW Wheels of Soul is Tedeschi Trucks Band, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, and Doyle Bramhall II. Great show, catch it if you can. It's over 4 hours worth of tunes.
 
Leaving for Santa Clara 6:00 am Thursday morning. Field tix for both shows! I will take and post pix when we are there for sure. Parking lot/shakedown street should be a blast, as usual.
