The Grateful Dead's legendary 1977 Spring Tour stands as a pinnacle in their storied career. Nestled in the Northeast, I was fortunate to attend the second show of this historic journey, held in Springfield on April 23rd.

Imagine my elation when a dear friend extended the invitation of a lifetime: a coveted front-row seat for their upcoming spectacle at the illustrious Boston Garden on May 7th

The first night of this three-night Dark Star Orchestra run at the Boulder Theater was powerful, exciting, and fun. They played the first night of Red Rocks 1978, which was on August 30th, and it featured the first time ever played “’I Need a Miracle,” “Stagger Lee,” and “If I Had the World to Give.” Many of the patrons of the Boulder Theater were extremely happy as the buzz went around the venue of which show it was.

Last night, Slightly Stoopid returned to Tamalpais Research Institute (TRI Studios) for a live performance and webcast featuring special guests including legendary Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir, Karl Denson (Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Rolling Stones), Angelo Moore (Fishbone, Dr. Madd Vibe), Marlon Asher (Ganja Farmer), and Roger Rivas (Aggrolites).

This marked a major achievement for the venue that already offers a fine local-sourced restaurant, and concert settings that include The Grate Room and the smaller bar stage.

We're not only headed back to the Bay Area with the release of July 17, 1976, the 5th of a phenomenal six-night run at the Orpheum Theatre, but back to the basics - smaller venues, lighter loads (post-Wall of Sound) - and the results are electric! While the operations may have been stripped down, the Grateful Dead and their music were anything but.

We're feelin' the funk on this week's JULY 1978: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS listening party, plucked from the Grateful Dead's 7/3 show at the St. Paul Civic Center Arena.

Following last year's successful debut of Grateful Dead Night, the Boston Red Sox are doing it again on April 28 when they meet the Atlanta Braves! A portion of the ticket proceeds goes to Rex, so your awesome night at the legendary Fenway Park also helps us help those who need it.

Billy & the Kids made their San Francisco debut on Saturday, April 9, 2016, with a performance at The Warfield Theatre with The Greyboy Allstars supporting.  The previous night was Billy & the Kids’ first show in northern California, as Bob Weir joined the gang up at Bob’s Mill Valley venue Sweetwater Music Hall, an event that certainly dominated conversation among
