Dead & Co is coming to town three times this summer, 2 shows are at smaller venues too, but I think I've been to my last pseudo dead show if I'm honest, back in 9 or maybe 10 I was at the worst show! Anyone who's ever been to an off dead show knows it can be pretty challenging!? I was always more of a Garcia fan anyway, so there's that too

Yea, the odds of me making it to one of the many Dead spinoff bands is pretty remote. With me having no spare time, and being tight as hell, I don't see it happening. But I do watch the shit out of them online.
I wish I could have seen these guys back in the day.

This is the show that really wasn't a show.
From Jerry Garcia: "We went over there to do a big festival, a free festival they were gonna have, but the festival was rained out. It flooded. We stayed at this little chateau which is owned by a film score composer who has a 16-track recording studio built into the chateau, and this is a chateau that Chopin once lived in; really old, just delightful, out in the country near the town of Auvers-sur-Oise, which is where Vincent van Gogh is buried. We were there with nothing to do: France, a 16-track recording studio upstairs, all our gear, ready to play, and nothing to do. So, we decided to play at the chateau itself, out in the back, in the grass, with a swimming pool, just play into the hills. We didn't even play to hippies, we played to a handful of townspeople in Auvers. We played and the people came — the chief of police, the fire department, just everybody. It was an event and everybody just had a hell of a time — got drunk, fell in the pool. It was great."

I listen to Dead & Co, and all the other offshoot stuff on YT a lot at work. They do all the thinking for you.
At home my main inside music source is SXM {on my Dish package}. Jimmy Buffet's and the Grateful Dead's channels are right next to each other. About the only time I listen is when I'm in the shower. I have a TV across the hall from the bathroom door, and I just turn it up real loud. Since GD songs are so long, and showers are so short, I usually listen to the JB channel.
We have been doing some closet cleaning and whatnot. The wife ask me if she could have the space where all my CD's were in the credenza. Since I haven't listened to one in several years, I couldn't refuse her. So I have a huge stack of those big notebook CD holders laying on the stairwell for now. Must find room. {I have several hundred GD concerts recorded from SXM on to DVD's. This stack is even bigger than my CD stack It's supposed to be easy to turn those into files these days. I just haven't taken the time to do it}
