Thanks for the reminder Roarshock. OMG that was such a great day / weekend / venue.
What a band what a band what a band. Sometimes I really can't believe my good fortune, to have had the Grateful Dead in my life. I had the privilege to enjoy 3 of those Greek weekends, each one was life altering in its own indescribable way. I love how they did it at 7 - 5 - 3, it gave the effect of turning it into one long show, pretty fuckin cool.
Meanwhile, the great majority of the world never got into a GD show at all, most never even heard one sound they made. I really don't get how I can feel as miserable as I do so much of the time, it's helpful to remember just how lucky I got in this life.... my incredible children the best of course, and (especially after seeing a lot of homeless people last night in NYC) feeling very grateful to have my piece of hill top with a shack and a barn and (at the moment) poppies blooming, but a whole lot of people have kids & houses, & some of 'em even have money too. However. Billions of them never even got a chance to fall in love with the Grateful Dead, how amazing it is to have stepped into that particular pool, only by the luck of circumstance, right??
Anyway I'm going to listen to it as soon as everyone here wakes up. Did I even have those tapes, I must have, maybe not though.... if so it was decades ago since I've heard that. Might start with Friday & listen to the whole weekend, depending on if I get the house to myself or not. Or maybe not because I want to hear that Shakedown as soon as possible. .
Man, I wore out the cassettes of these shows! they had that early eighties "high end brightness sound", little fast but stellar nonetheless. So awesome. And JustDance, wow, you expressed how I feel about having been so fortunate to see these guys. Im kind of stuck there memory-wise. Happy lucky days.
love the photos. I think Phil is wearing cowboy boots.
Pretty sure I still have those soundboard cassettes with the custom cover art somewhere.
Yeah the weekends at the Greek with the staggered start times were some of the best ever. Might stream and re-live that whole May weekend (in yet another time) and marvel how lucky I was to be there in the now.
