St. Stephen. No matter how many times I listen to it, I still am left speechless.

st. stephen with a rose
in and out of the garden he goes
country garden in the wind and the rain
where ever he goes the people all complain:thumbsup:
I dig Terrapin Station
Strange occurances in the desert
standing on the moon
acoutic version of, friend of the devil..
fuck, i LOVE THE DEA

dai*ma:stoned: sfca, home of the dead, land of the free
since the end is never told
we pay the teller off in gold
in hopes he will come back
but he cannot be bought or sold

I first saw The Dead back in 1985 and was hooked. From that point until Jerry's death in '95 I went to more than 30 Dead shows, 15-20 Jerry Band shows, and a couple of Bob shows here and there. As the saying goes "There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert"

Hard to say what my favorite song is, there's so many. Loose Lucy was always a good first set song, upbeat and fun "Thank you, for a real good time". For 2nd set tunes Eyes of the World, Terrapin, Playin in the Band, and, of course Scarlet>Fire was always a classic.

Damn, I miss the good old days. What I wouldn't give to see another show.

Here's some pics I took back at a Shoreline Amphitheatre show back in '93.

I was at the wake for Jer in golden gate park. wow(goose bumps)

Ripple, Truckin', Touch Of Grey

if my words did glow
with the gold of sunshine
and my tunes
were played
on a harp unstrung
Hunter wrote that while drinking wine in England.
Fuck he could write.

Ripple in still waters..
when there is no pebble tossed
nor wind to blow
reachout your hand
if your cup is empty
if your cup
is full
may it be again:thumbsup:

standing on the moon
i got no cobb-web on my shoe
standing on the moon
i feel so alone and blue
i see the gulf of mexico
as tiny as a tear
the coast of california
must be somewhere over here

standing on the moon
with nothing left to do
a lovely view of heaven
but i'd rather be with you

miss ya a fuckin' bunch, jer. I saw the Dawg a few weeks ago, and your absense shows in his eyes, and can be heard in his music.

Favorite Show...Buckeye Lake Ohio,Alpine Valley Wisconson, and of course RED ROCKS Colorado!!!!!

Alpine Valley was great. I caught the Alpine shows in '87 and '88. Awesome shows but the crowds were a bit much. Especially the hordes who came just because Touch of Grey was a hit. Another great show was up in Eugene Oregon in '88, it was an all day show starting with Jimmy Cliff, then Robert Cray, and then The Dead.

Probably my favorite shows were always the Chinese New Year shows in Oakland. I remember one year they had the Chinese acrobats as the opening act. They were simply incredible. This girl did a trick; kicking these bowls up onto her head while on really tall unicycle. For her finale she kicked like 8 bowls at a time and all landed perfectly on top of her head. Everybody in the crowd went nuts. Oddly, I started bawling like a little baby, tears of joy really, of course....my mind was a little altered at the time. Amazing what 4 grams of good shrooms can do.

1989...Fantantstic!!!!!
1987 was cool too!

'87 at Alpine had my all time favorite China>Rider. The peak right between the two was awesome. Do you remember the crazy jungle animal sounds just before drums? Crazy, a bit too much for one of my buddies though.
