In case there are those who don't know, he and hunter had corresponded a bit. Here is a letter from Hunter to Shannon. Glad I had a chance to see them live.

for the life he lived, 80 is pretty remarkable.

Just saw this on reddit. An intersting read. Guy says he got the report from Garcia. What i found most interesting is the band is i the DEA NADDIS database as their names & phone # were found on a disc from a bust of "LSD trafficker "Kevin G" the only thing i could find on Kevin was an article from ...

Always liked this guy from his first 2 albums. Had a slight resurgance in the early 90s. Had no clue he ever covered the dead.

My buddy just saw them in roch last night. Said it was big fun, big, big fun. I mean its no skull & roses fest, but ya know

He better hope he incorporated and can prove that he didnt mingle funds with his personal assets. Im guessing he didnt. Id say fraud is likeky on the table as well the old "oops, id pay you back if i could" defense

Not to side topic, but i will \:D/ We went hiking with them one day. Met them half way, picked them up, my wife says to her husband "hey, go ahead and sit up front, that way you can chat with my husband" as i hadnt seen the guy in a year or so and we had a lot to catch up on. So on the way back from...

The last time I saw them with the lady's signing, we went with my buddy and his wife, who is what I'd consider a feminist. She was not happy that they ladies were only brought out for some songs and walked off during others. I countered with "would you rather have them standing there like the securi...

I realize you cant provide a pension & health insurance for every person who was ever employed by GDP, but it is pretty shocking to me that the main guys that went on the lifelong journey that is the grateful dead are not properly respected and cared for in their later years. I do understand that it...

My go to line is "it was a banner year at the old bender house this year for Christmas, you know what I got....smoke up Johnny"

The older I get, the more I'm inclined to sit at even very energetic shows if the people behind me indicate that they want to sit. There are some shows where it is pretty obvious that a seated crowd is expected. For example - I'm seeing Dylan Monday, and expect to be seated for the entire show. Tha...

In my opinion if no one in front of you is standing and you are, and blocking the view of others, you are not much different than a show talker. This is my opinion too. I don’t know why the energy has to be lower just because I’m seated. I’m still just as into the music and just as moved by it AKA ...

I just exchanged my seats for the row in front of the pit. Who knew there are actually benefits of AI. Worst case i can stretch my legs out in the cluter (wookie) free pass way between the sections acting like im watching 4K tv at home. Best case is i can stand & dance at the back of the seats in th...

Pulled the trigger for 6th row on Thursday. Was pondering waiting until tomorrow, but only about 8 seats left. Check after work and the entire first row behind the pit drop, for less than i paid :rant. Guess ill save the dose for another show. My wife just sent this to me Standing at Concerts Standi...

What is the crowd like for a theater show of TTB? Everyone sit through the whole show?

Id rather see steve headline, but def worth a night out

Love Joan

Someone on reddit pointed out that matt posted on reddit that he was Weir's manager up till 2/24. Would be a bummer if that is true

I also thought it was cool of Bob Seger to cover bus load of faith a handful of years back
