I just have had this question in my stomach for a long while and I don’t know why I think this is the best place to ask it, maybe because of the diversity of the Grateful Dead community. How do you play for people as an artist, with your heart and soul, for sometimes people you don’t like. I always think to Jerry playing to say the hells angels, or the way he seemed to have playing with so much spirit even I think during the Deer Creek shows. I can’t find it in me sometimes. I’m not a huge musician obviously but I know I can play for people I love, but there’s something about playing with your heart to people like say Tucker Carlson, whom personally I don’t like as a human being. But how did Jerry do it in such a way with so much, heart. Even Bobby said in a CNN interview, there’s probably some deadheads that are murderers. Hell wasn’t Manson a deadhead? And yet they still played and play with what I feel is love. Just looking for some wisdom.

Got my new daves picks today it from a horseracing track in New Mexico made me curious strangest places people saw them . I only saw them in arenas and stadiums

Going into the ad break after the top of the seventh.

If you’re a fan of those jams where the music just wanders all over but eventually coalesces back to the original song, you’re going to love today’s anniversary show, 10/30/73.

This has been a public service announcement.

Might as well start this thread. Will there be lawsuits. Is anyone vying to sell his toilet yet?

Finished my pumpkin just in time for Halloween what you all think?

Or was there a time when people actually preferred them? Seems like Bobby has always had a chip on his shoulder over Jerry being supreme, hence the reason the man won’t hang it up from touring .

If you could see your favorite dead lineup, and choose the songs they play, what would it be? Curious to see what people like to hear to open the show / close the first and second sets with.. and of course, everything in between :)

Just stumbled on October 8, 1989, I love Queen Jane and I dig the Dead I seriously didn't know they played this Bob song!

Do you know of better ones than '89?

Tried my hand at stealie pumpkin

So, I have yet another one of these "ice breaker" group exercises. I thought when I left the corporate world this shit would end, and yet, here we are. I always chose Truckin'. Not because it was the song I'd pick as my theme song but because everyone knew I was a deadhead and it was expected.

For the first time, in my 49th year, with my hair more salt than pepper... I'm now choosing Touch of Grey

If you wanted a copy of every taped show, the definitive story of the band (just the dead, no solo work, no spin offs, no band practices), how many recordings would you have?
