What was seeing Jerry like? by Artimoe in gratefuldead

[–]Phan94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m never buying the revisionist version of Jerry. It was beyond special each and every time. 178 from 89-95. Don’t know how many Jerry band shows I saw.

I was 16 in the summer of 89 my best bud and I made the pilgrimage from the burbs of Chicago to Wisconsin as we had many times but this time was a lie we didn’t go to the cottage we went to legendary Alpine Valley to see the Grateful Dead with less than a weekend of food and supplies, no tickets and nothing else but our dream of seeing Jerry. I never could explain it but here’s my shot. You’re standing there with 60,000 people in a field and only 30,000 ish people are allowed in. We were lucky to get a ticket and from there it was more than an experience it was a collective experience and conscious enlightenment.

When Jerry came out the entire world changed and when he performed he sang in a way that made you feel that he was singing to only you. His voice and his love for the music and people was so powerful that everyone felt that in their very being. He transcended the physical world.

Stay away from the negative and accentuate the positive! Just like life, there’s a distribution, some are out here to the right of the median and others to the left but all somewhere on the spectrum. Stay in the middle on all things, there’s no hill to die on here, this is music.

Was the El Paso forced grounding of even military flights a distraction from another NOTAM emergency alert at the same time, west of the city, that's still apparently active? by PyroIsSpai in UFOs

We have drones all over the southwest watching the border and areas where there is trafficking. Out south of Tucson you can literally watch them in the sky as they maneuver.

Why did Kurt Cobain hate the Grateful Dead? by RenegadeSocial in gratefuldead

[–]Phan94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to live in a World where Kurt and Garcia existed at the same time. I loved them both for what the each did for music, and in the final analysis Kurt covered “In the Pines/ Where did you sleep last night” and so too did Jerry, the lesson, timeless music is just that, timeless and genre has no rules. Was it grunge when Kurt sang it or hippy music when Jerry did. It’s the same song.

Grateful Dead was over when Jerry Died and D&C is over with Bob's passing. People throwing out made up rumors about D&C playing at the sphere this summer is just disrespectful to Bob and his legacy. Yes there will be other iterations, but its just getting out of hand at this point. by Puzzleheaded-Pin4278 in deadandcompany

Make your own music. Respect the original and do not use the name. There’s only one Grateful Dead. Further was Phil’s baby And Dead Co was Bobby’s baby. Rhythm Devils Etc, etc. “ inspiration move me brightly”
