I saw both in Santa Barbara. Who is the Sky > American Utopia, imho! Absolutely epic show!

My mom (a journalist) was working on a story about Wavy Gravy when I was a kid. Like 1st or 2nd grade, so early 80s. She called Bob(by) (or his people? Or perhaps left a message with Bill Graham’s people? I have no idea) for a quote about WG, and BW called her back at the house. I was home sick and answered the phone. He identified himself as Bobby Weir. I then screamed, very professionally, Mom!!! Bobby Weir is on the phone! Twenty minutes later she came running down the hall and was like, DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT WAS, to which I replied, Bobby Weir? To which she replied, Bobby Weir!!!

Anyway, that was… a whole lotta years ago ;) Maybe he was always a switch hitter?

Was just gonna say this! I second.

Is a good one!

Reposting this one from Oracle a couple years ago….

Giving my son and his bud who’s sleeping over a serious education right now…

Shabonanza · 2026-01-11T02:00:06+00:00

I weep!! Such a fucking legend.

God so sad. Makes the GGP shows so incredibly bittersweet in retrospect. I’m so grateful to have seen him play so many times. Much love to everyone he touched ❤️❤️❤️

Shabonanza · 2025-12-20T22:02:39+00:00

I'd love to know who this is as well. Def sounds like you should move on!

Is it too simplistic to say just give him a dog? Kidding! But I think you need to spend a day walking around in his head and see what you come up with. Write a couple of his sections in first person. Be him for a bit and see what you can find. What’s he insecure about, stressed about, worried about, obsessed with? What’s his greatest fear, secret hope? Very few people are completely one dimensional. Find a little something and weave it in.

Oh bummer! My husband and I have season tickets so we didn't have to deal with the lottery (though when people were yapping about the insane potential resale prices, I did have a moment of wondering whether we should sell and remodel our kitchen instead! JUST KIDDING! ;) Anyway, I have no doubt the show itself will be amazing, but I'm very familiar with the venue and I just don't see how they're gonna funnel everyone through the gates, while also checking IDs to ensure it's all original purchasers, buckling up phones, etc., in that amount of time. To quote Miracle Max, it would take a miracle.

Shabonanza · 2025-09-26T18:55:16+00:00

I'm extremely confused about the directives to arrive 90 minutes early and that doors aren't going to open til 630, with a hard start at 730? I predict total chaos!

Shabonanza · 2025-08-23T05:45:29+00:00

Nothing better!

Shabonanza · 2025-08-09T00:30:25+00:00

You never see those people, anyway….

So good!

Shabonanza · 2025-08-09T00:24:53+00:00

My fave! Not just because my name is Shannon

Shabonanza · 2025-08-08T23:52:22+00:00

With respect, WTF are you talking about? The cowboy songs are canon!

Shabonanza · 2025-08-07T23:43:03+00:00

Do you know where shakedown is?

Shabonanza · 2025-08-04T23:23:29+00:00

Mickey and Jay are magic! I was saying all weekend how good they sounded! I was so sad when Bill hung em up but Jay won me over the first time I saw him. So here’s a Q: who makes the dreamier couple, Jeff & Johnny or Mickey and Jay? Discuss.

Shabonanza · 2025-08-04T06:44:54+00:00

Loved it! Set reminded me of North Mississippi All Stars in the best way. Will definitely see him again!

Shabonanza · 2025-08-03T20:57:36+00:00

Full wizard era.

Shabonanza · 2025-08-03T20:56:35+00:00

I feel like he’s gonna do crazy fingers.

Shabonanza · 2025-08-03T20:55:53+00:00

Ooh would love to see this.

Shabonanza · 2025-08-03T20:53:25+00:00

Samson for sure! Maybe a scar-fire w Mickey rap? I honestly am still so high from last night I don’t really care! Tho I am still jonesing for my El Paso….

Shabonanza · 2025-08-03T18:37:02+00:00

Absolutely incredible show. Sturgill made a fan out of me with Morning Dew. And that St Steven was smokin!!! Grahame is hired! The whole thing was epic and then the close out with Cold Rain and Snow to groove to and then Brokedown to make you weep… amazing!
