The Grateful Dead Thread Band • Page 30

nice tribute to bill walton during fire on the mountain last night during the part of the show where they usually do a montage of past members

 

For several months my two year old daughter has wanted to hear Sugaree (“shake it one”) every bath time because it came on my phone once during bath time and she loved it. So now it’s just a bath song for her I guess? Anyway parenting legacy cemented already

 

:(

 

Holy shit

 

such a long, long time to be gone and a short time to be there

 

Exactly

 

I don't mean to speculate, but the fact that he was surrounded by his family indicates it wasn't entirely unexpected. I'm glad he was able to spend his final hours with family, peacefully at home

 

He pulled out of a show kind of last minute a few months back and I believe the reason given was he was sick. My memory may not be 100% there but I think you’re correct

 

awful, RIP

 

:(

 

too sad.

 

Can someone explain to a newbie why Cornell 77 is held in such high regard? Looking to get started somewhere.

 

It was one of the most widely available tapes at the best sound quality. The bands playing is excellent and the setlist is a good showcase of the types of things they do well

 

Man...RIP to Phil. Phil was what really put me over the top into obsession with this band. To my ear, he's essentially responsible for all the weirdest musical moments in Dead history. He really elevated them artistically imo. Fucking sobbed hearing Phish play Box of Rain

 

His playing on China Cat Sunflower is so fun

 

Phil is probably also responsible in significant part for my interest in experimental/avante music

"Whatever's going on in the rest of the world be it wars or kidnappings or crimes, this is a peaceful Sunday night with the Grateful Dead."

 

hahahahahah

 

It makes me happy that everyone was on good enough terms to be talking about that at least

 

Just planning to be the four of them? No one on lead?

 

No way, would've been something similar to Fare Thee Well probly and probly with Mayer and Chimenti.

 

that would've been fun and cool but also would've been the most blatant Grateful Dead moneygrab yet LOL with the exception perhaps of the Sphere run. "Fare thee Well"...for 10 years!
