The #gratefuldead played #shorelineamphitheatre 39 times (‘87-‘95). I was fortunate enough to be in attendance for 38 of those performances. Today is the anniversary of the show I missed (10.4.87). My favorite version of Jack Straw opened the show. Give it a listen — a note for note masterpiece!

Have you ever been deathly ill at a show but you still powered through? That was me OTD in ‘98. I had been taking an assortment of psychedelics for the previous 4 shows and my body just shut down. I laid down on these cold metal bleachers for the entirety of S2. 😵

The second show of my first tour with @vriphish76.shakedown.social.ap.brid.gy. The beginning of long and uplifting friendship. Cheers to this run — legendary stuff! 🍻⭕️🐠

He was just celebrating his sobriety! 😂

While not a lot to celebrate in this country of late, I thought this was a classy display at Utah State. #UtahStateAggies

Check out Shakedown Street -> (13:21) by Grateful Dead (1985-06-30) on @relistenapp 🐐

What bands were you seeing before you discovered the Grateful Dead? Almost exactly one month to the day before my first Dead show. Damn I’m old!

Check out 1989-06-19 (Shoreline Amphitheatre) by Grateful Dead on @relistenapp 1989 was a renaissance year for the Dead. With so many epic shows/runs that year, sometimes a hidden gem like this one gets missed. The setlist will not blow anyone away, but the execution is impeccable!

Check out 02 I Know You Rider (6:36) by Grateful Dead (1980-06-05) on @relistenapp Pretty sure I hate this — Jerry takes the “The sun will shine in my back door someday” verse and Bobby the “I wish I was a headlight, on a north bound train” one. 😵 #GratefulDead #TIGDH

37 years ago today was the first time in my life I was “stubbed down.” The terrace at Irvine is a mile from the stage and I ended up right in Jerry’s lap (about 14 rows back). 😜🎫 #GratefulDead #StubMeDown

OTD 31 years ago, a buddy of mine suggested we go to The City to catch JGB. Unfortunately, it was the last show in the band’s history. 😢 #JGB #JerryGarcia

Did anyone on this platform accidentally leave some merch under their seat at Sphere N1? I picked it up, but wasn’t able to get it to lost and found. If you see this post and can identify it, I’d be happy to mail it to you. #phish #sphere

Another masterful performance in Salt Lake City! I would imagine Woah There to join the JOTY discussion and a 570 show bust out of The Stake (Steve Miller) #Eggy

Perfect execution by Eggy’s booking agent.

I used to work at a bar in the early 2000s. We used to party…A LOT! Two people from that establishment have passed away because of complications from alcohol/drugs. Just learned that another friend from the same place passed due to the same circumstances. Sitting here stunned. Alcohol sucks! 😔

Today marks 15 years sober. 15! Never thought I could do 1. If I can do it, so can you! You’re more powerful than you think! 💪 #sober #sobriety #odaat
