i'm trying to get my attention limited children and others interested in the Grateful Dead. I'm looking for a few shorter live music videos to highlight the different phases of their career

Come boogie

Any love, or just dislike? Why do his covers not get more discussion?

will there be a livestream??

Listening to this one on XM 1/7/78

I wonder how it would have played out if Jerry's voice didn't recover if he would have had to stick to just guitar for the rest of his career?

And also does anyone know if Sunrise ever got jammed out? It sounds like the music going to the outro is so good but they cut it off. I wonder if they ever really stretch that one out?

Btw Jerry guitar playing is incredible, but we all knew that...

I think this could have been on Christopher Hitchens' answering machine:

I just seen an ad for the Musicares charity auction, which one of the lots is a tour of the tape vault. I’m very interested to see where this lands.

My dear brother-in-law passed in the wee hours of this morning. Thank you to all of you who suggested Dead songs to sustain me these past few weeks. .

I’m a HUGE The Band fan and I’ve see clips from festival express with the two and know that Rick tells stories and does covers of the Dead so I’m curious how well they knew each other/if they had a big friendship. I’m new to the Dead so I have no clue on that end

Saw Bertha tonight in Cleveland and it was an incredible show. These cats have amazing chops and an excellent vibe. Their take on the Dead is unique and exciting. I danced my ass off. BUT IT GETS EVEN BETTER! All proceed from ticket sales on this tour (and a portion of the merch) go to Trans-specific charities or LGBTQ organizations. Last night $ went to Trans Ohio.

When I first planned to go to the show months ago, i knew it would be fun. But in light of this week’s events it felt like an important radical act that was ALSO wildly fun.

Yeah yeah yeah… “Grateful Dead and politics… blah blah blah.”

Look. It’s a great show and possibly the most fun you will ever have helping to save lives.

They’re in Chicago on Saturday. Las Vegas in April. Check them out.

What's the lyric that makes you laugh every time you hear it? This one gets me every time, and not only is it funny, it helps to create an incredibly vivid representation of the scene.

So what lines make you laugh?

Anybody know if there are any streaming services that have the Dave's Picks series? Spotify is lacking

Scored this at a thrift store in Berkeley. Anyone familiar with it or its history?

Printed in 1986 and “deadicated to the Cosmic Charlie Campaign” which I’ve gathered was a fan-driven effort to bring back Cosmic Charlie in the 80s.

I always thought Bob Weir was influenced by Trini Lopez. I asked ChatGPT and it said this:

>>Was Bob Weir's guitar playing influenced by Trini Lopez?

Yes! Bob Weir has mentioned that Trini Lopez influenced his guitar playing, particularly in terms of rhythm and tone. One of the most direct connections is that Weir frequently played a Gibson Trini Lopez model guitar with the Grateful Dead, particularly in the late '60s and early '70s. This semi-hollow body guitar, with its distinctive diamond-shaped sound holes, contributed to Weir's bright, percussive rhythm style.

While Weir’s actual playing approach was more influenced by jazz, country, and folk styles, Lopez’s energetic, rhythmic playing and distinctive sound likely left an impression. Lopez himself was known for a percussive strumming technique and a unique blend of rock, folk, and Latin rhythms, which could have resonated with Weir’s unconventional rhythm guitar approach.

So while Weir wasn’t necessarily emulating Lopez’s playing note-for-note, the Trini Lopez model guitar and Lopez’s style likely played a role in shaping his sound.<<

So, are these "Verified Resale Tickets" all scalpers?

Former Tulsa Mayor William LaFortune was at this show and taped it, but in a interview in the April 2015 edition of Tulsa Lawyer Magazine, he claimed that the tapes were lost and had no idea where they were. This recording is considered these lost tapes.

..random grab from the shelf as soon as I got home from work... 🌹💀🌹

Does anybody have any more information on the February 23, 1968 show?

I know that the only recording out there is on Dick's Picks Volume 22. It's on the first disc of that release, and starts out with a really awesome version of Viola Lee Blues that causes the power to go out about halfway through. It's also got one of those rare Dark Star > China Cat Sunflower > The Eleven runs, back before St. Stephen took the middle role.

I'm curious to know if what we have is the full show, or if more was played. There doesn't seem to be much information out there, aside from a little bit of information in this Reddit post.

Anyway - it's a great show if you haven't heard it yet. Jerry absolutely ripped it up in early 1968.
