So back in December 1975, more than 50 years ago, you New York folk could go over to Passaic and see Kingfish and Keith & Donna for $6 or $6.50 with four members of the Grateful Dead appearing Their show on December only sold 1,950 tickets out of 3,200 seats. A different world

50 Years Ago Today, I bought a ticket at a Boston Ticket Agency for face and saw Paul McCartney and Wings at the Boston Garden. Yes, I'm old now but that was something

Having a sandwich in downtown San Diego this weekend and realized the Grateful Dead had played 10 shows a 2 minute walk away at Golden Hall, 1970-1982. Love when I find that

"Twas The Night Before Cornell: Boston May 7, 1977
What's ironic about May 7, 1977 at the Boston Garden is that originally I thought the show was not that great.

Had a chat with Aussie Matt Day on BayFM A Long Strange Trip www.bayfm.org/shows/a-long... Matt says "It's an amazing piece of work full of information that would rarely meet the public's eye without David's efforts. A delight for any deadhead interested in the "business" of our favourite band"

We are blessed to be safe in South Pasadena, but so sadden at the folks in upper Pasadena and Altadena which is so near as well as the people in Pacific Palisades. LA comes together at times like this.

Ten years ago, I studied the evolution of splitting open Playing in the Band. I like these 10 consecutive versions from 1973 and 1974 as they shuffle Mississippi Half Step, Uncle John's Band, Morning Dew, Wharf Rat into the middle of PITB. 11/10, 11/17 and 3/23 are highlights of the Dead's career.
