On the anniversary of one of the all-timers, this show is held so dear by so many deadheads that it is one of the true links for newbie to old-timer (as someone notes below). It has almost invariably been one of the first tapes of a show that we first had our minds blown by and one… Continue reading 5.8.77 – Cornell University – 28 Years Later…

The first night (8/10) was really nice. We had outstanding weather, and the crowd was mellow. As always there was lots of fun to be had in the parking lot and on the lawn. I like PNC – the people who work there aren’t lamers like the some of the people at Jones Beach. On… Continue reading The Dead @ Garden State Arts Center | Review

First set was frustrating in that Jimmy Herring’s guitar was mostly inaudible, I watch his fingers… Continue reading The Dead & Deadheads celebrate Jerry's Birthday | Saratoga 2004

They left me speechless and wanting more. Of course, being in school, for me all good things come to an end. However, I… Continue reading Phil & Trey | 2004

I also read that Trey commented that Alpine Valley is “really the best place to play in the world.” Whether Trey said that or not – it is true! I hope everyone… Continue reading Trey at Alpine!
If one considers how Grateful St. Louis is for The Kind, The Shwag and Jake’s Leg, there’s no doubt that this city certainly knows how to honor its Dead. Truckin’ into town are two of the ultimate Dead cover bands. Straight out of the kennel comes RatDog. Led by former Grateful guitarist Bob Weir, the… Continue reading Phil Lesh with RatDog in St. Louis | Review
Songs that have asterisks are ones that Susan Tedeski joined in on. I don’t even think they announced her at the show, b/c the whole time we all kept saying, who is that??? and she really didn’t do much for the songs. i would have at least expected her to stand out a bit during… Continue reading The Other Ones | Brendan Byrne Arena | Setlist/Review
