Hey #deadhead#GratefulDead people and rock art fans, support legendary artist Stanley Mouse by buying a shirt or something from his shop if you're feeling it, or if you have the money, check out his art, originals and prints, some of it's pretty amazing...
Out on the road today
I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
As I was pulling into the QT for an iced tea tonight, a late-model, white Cadillac hearse was driving away. On the back window, a large, round #GratefulDead sticker inside a circle of fancy-font text:
Dead
Sled
Damn! Too late for a picture. In-state plates; I'll be ready next time.
Happy birthday to my favorite AUD, Ken & Judy’s 6.24.70. There’s a moment just past the first verse of Dark Star when the tectonic plates begin to groan and grind and break apart, and this stricken voice behind us says ‘Ohh GAWWWwwwwd’ because we’re at the top of the rollercoaster in an earthquake and it is on.#gratefuldead
Life happens. I need to be with my son in ATL, and I will miss #deadandco#gratefuldead at Deer Creek. I have two tix available...face value. DM me to make that deal go down.
“To lay me down, once more
To lay me down with my head in sparklin' clover
To lay me down, one last time, to lay me down
To be with you, once more, to be with you.
With our bodies close together
Let the world go by, like the clouds a'streamin'
To lay me down"
Always surprised when people say they got into the #GratefulDead through #folk or #bluegrass. It's like, what are you doing here, wholesome traditionalists? This is a drug band for vagrants.
Good morning friends, cronies and the Mastodon curious.🙂👋 How's your Tuesday going? I stopped for creamer this morning and snagged a chocolate iced custard donut. If my doctor finds out he's going to berate me in 3-4 languages but I said f*ck it, I deserve a treat. So I'm going to have breakfast and jam some Grateful Dead.
My apprentice was on time today. 😲
Have a great day! I'm hoping for a peaceful and boring one myself. 🌞
It's not every day that a new Garcia Band SBD from the 70s turns up. This one is just a single reel, the end of set 1 from 10.27.78, towards the end of the Godchaux lineup era. To round it out I included the 3 song SBD fragment from the prior night, which includes a long, fiery Lonesome & A Long Way From Home. Thanks to all the free live music heads who keep things flowing
40 years ago tonight, the #gratefuldead open their summer in saratoga, the start of their 1st “modern” east coast summer tour with familiar outdoor spots from the ‘80s/‘90s. long-deferred SPAC debut, originally scheduled for ’72. audience memories make it sound like a goddamn acid test for the crowd. a rainy summer day with many cheers for weather-related lyrics. https://archive.org/details/gd83-06-18.senn421.nawrocki.14411.sbeok.shnf [1/16]
In the flood of content from the #deadhead TV channel coming online, I missed this absolute gem: music video for the Robert Hunter song Bone Alley!
This song was written for the #GratefulDead but ended up on the Hunter album Liberty, tho Garcia does play guitar on it. Despite the name it doesn't appear to be about the Castro district in the 80s; the production involves Hunter in an eyepatch and Zorro outfit amidst astonishing levels of what FZ termed "cheepnis" 😭 🤣
I’m going through a seriously hardcore Grateful Dead phase. May 29th 1992 Las Vegas was the best show I personally saw but I’m freaking out over all the live shows that you can stream now that were b4 my time. Highly recommend becoming a deadhead now. Great music to make art to. #music#GratefulDead
@SurlyAmy and if you ever want recs or tips or have questions just hit the #gratefuldead hashtag, there are a decent number of heads on mastodon already and we're all crazy opinionated lol
46 years ago today, the #GratefulDead played a fine one in Boston. It moves higher up my list of favorites every time I put it on. The first set is loaded with jams and the St. Stephen might be the longest they ever played. This show feels longer (in a good way) than some three-set shows from 1973.
Here's #AlbumArt for "Road Trips, Vol. 4, No. 5: Boston Music Hall 6-09-1976 {2400x2400]. Does Mastodon still reduce large images? Let's find out!
EDIT: I think the tickets are gone now. Still a fun discord though
Yo if any #deadheads in the Virginia area could use two miracle (free) tickets to tonight's #DeadandCompany show there, there's an offer in the strangers-helping-strangers channel of the GD Discord that's been sitting there since yesterday. No I cannot broker the deal for you, yes discord is easy to figure out. Here's the server link https://discord.gg/gratefuldead
