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

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!

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

Production value alone was worth the price of admission. Was it the tightest they’ve ever played? No, but fun was had!

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.

Only time I caught the Dead on the east coast was 33 years ago this week. #gratefuldead

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

The ONLY 3.0 I saw (not surprising) and 2 from ‘95 (surprising)

So proud of these women! Wish that sentiment was about the country as a whole. #olympics

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!

It’s actually kinda cool to sit there, although I’ve never done it at MSG.

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!
