Official Grateful Dead Thread

Funny story.

Summer school is going on and yesterday I was listening to some Coltrane (Love Supreme) and another teacher comes in and we start talking music. Seems like we had lots in common.
Move to today, two other teachers come up to me and start talking Dead. One is going to the shows in CA, other one just talking. Both under age 30 and both like the band. Both remarked that they remember hearing about Jerry's death (age 8 and 6). We all had a laugh.
It seems that the old guy now has some status as a head, taper, and music lover.

To everyone going to the shows, be careful and enjoy.

Been listening to lots of '70.

Here's one I chanced upon on Saturday at our New England get together.
I'd never seen or heard of this before.
Nothing new on this, essentially it was just an effort to keep DJ's motivated to play the Dead in between album releases in 1975.
 
So far, no live Dead on the Black Friday RSD list, though the big box set was a late addition to the list last time. Any rumors about a possible release?
 
I think the only thing they have coming up are the Fare Thee Well box sets on Nov 20, 2015. There was a nice, but small, sticker for it with Dave's Picks 16.
 
My wife and I saw Dead & Company on Friday night in DC. Fun, relaxed, 70s-vibed show and John Mayer is a nice fit. He obviously "gets" Jerry, but he does not try to be a clone. Bob Weir is certainly enjoying himself. I have not seen that much smoke at an indoor concert in over 20 years.

Loser, West LA Fadeaway, and Scar>Fire were the highlights.
 
My 20 year old daughter is going to see The Dead and Company tonight.

It's times like this that make you realize how what a good parenting job you have done. :p
 
Listening to the Dead and Company live from Greensboro NC.

'71 Fillmores are quite tasty. Off my head I seem to remember Duane Allman sitting in some where during the run. Glad someone restarted posting. Been spinning 004.JPG pre '70 lately.
