Jerry, like this thread, is still Dead

Best band ever existed. My first show as Hartford CT 1985. Seen them with Bob Dylan at Patriots Stadium on July 4.

I saw the Dead 50 shows (In San Fran) as well as Dead & CO. I have tickets for Camden NJ in June - can't wait.

My station is locked on Sirius XM 23.

By the way, my license plate is "EURPE 72"

Can’t wait to be at LOCKN again this year. Haven’t missed a year yet, even the Phish year, although we skipped the first night, lol.
I’m a New England head that started in ‘79.
Nothing left to do but :) :) :)

She makes me think of an old and late friend, a deadhead and we used to have the most stoned ridiculous discussions on the Donna Jean topic, he was a huge Donna Jean fan and I was like eh.. and we would pointlessly discuss it often while getting baked

.. kind of hard to have a favorite Dead song but this is definitely one of mine

When she's on (XM 23), I usually change the channel .... I never liked her - but that is my opinion. She asked Jerry to be in the band with Keith, he said yes ---- you will see her on the Saturday Night Live "Truckin" video. I think she sings off key - that's just my personal opinion. I like the 72 DEAD the best and the 77 DEAD. Those are what I listen to a lot.

Anyone going to be at Camden in June?

Favorite songs --- that's difficult ... but probably Sugaree, Candyman, Deal, China Rider

not a huge dead fan but peggy o is one of my favs.
back in college, there was a band called The Grapes that did a killer version of it. saw them a bunch when they opened for widespread panic before panic got huge.

I agree that's exactly my thoughts, it's like she's singing something else off on her own half the time? I never got it but I don't mean it in a bad way, a bad dead show with Donna Jean is better than a good show from anybody else..!

I've seen three incarnations since Jerry passed and eh.. I think I'm good, it's not the same anymore, jmo

To be honest, when I went to Dead 50 - it was like very special. It seemed like a reunion party where we all came together to celebrate what was beyond great at one time. It was totally awesome - it just felt so good.

Then, I went to the Shoreline show (Dead & CO) and to be honest, I didn't know at all what to expect because I never seen J.M. and didn't really follow / know Dead and Co. From the first song, I was so hooked --- the jazzy style, the O having so much fun smiling, and the different way that Bobby sang the songs and John singing with a different style - it was like a new band. And I am going to be very honest, I almost like Dead & Co better. I have almost all the shows (purchased from Nugs) and play those more lately. Sometimes I wish they would up the tempo just a tad bit - but I honestly like John's new style on everything.

I'll be in Amsterdam while they are at Shoreline (I live here in Bay Area) - so I bought tickets for both Camden NJ shows, and flying there to see the shows, and then take the train into NYC to spend 3 or 4 days there and making a vacation out of it.

I'm usually listening to Dead & Co, or 72 or 77 Dead shows. I actually like Dead & Co just as much.

I smoked some Green Goddess before Dead & Co show with a guy and girl when I parked my car on a side street. We got so high, and then I said, holy shit - how am I going to remember where my car is as I started to walk to the show. I looked at the street sign where I was, and it was "Garcia Avenue". I said, well - I can remember that!!!!! :bigjoint:

I like how upbeat the dead and co show are. When the Bobby and Phil Trio tour showed up on You Tube. it was so slow and down beat in comparison.
