First-time listen for me. Jerry and Merle, and Billy and John and Tom Fogerty, 54 years ago today. It’s a nice soundboard and perfect for anyone with a half-hour commute. #Deadheads

53 years ago, the Grateful Dead played an interesting second set, with a Baby Blue smack-dab in the middle of the second set and the final Cryptical for 13 years until its revival in 1985. #Deadheads

Turkeys and bunny, living in harmony

Occasionally, I have to drive a vehicle that takes diesel fuel? Why are the diesel fuel handles so much more vile and disgusting than the regular one?

I’m starting this morning with this Jerry Garcia Band soundboard from 49 years ago today. #Deadheads

"I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.” -Clarence Darrow

56 years ago, Jerry and some friends played an interesting collection of covers that included Wipe Out, Twist and Shout, and Blue Moon. Happy Sunday #Deadheads!

Here’s some video from 52 years ago of Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders playing a Hell’s Angels wedding. The vows are interesting. #Deadheads

Took a half-day yesterday to see the dentist. I come in this morning and my pencil sharpener is jammed. After 30 minutes of disassembly and reassembly, I find the end of a mechanical pencil inside. Hence, the new sign.

They look like babies! This would have been sometime between spring and fall of 1996.

I love this band so much youtu.be/Xb7JdgaKTUM?...

Here’s some great crowd footage from the 1982 Oregon County Fair, including Ken Kesey dressed up like a sports referee. First performances of Day Job and West L.A. Fadeaway. I might be the only person who prefers the former to the latter. #Deadheads

Who among us has not gotten naked and climbed a pole to watch our favorite band? #deadheads

36 years ago, Jimmy Cliff joined the Jerry Garcia Band to sing The Harder They Come. I can only imagine this was a special night at the Greek. #Deadheads

170 days in the school year and today is number one. I’m listening to Reckoning and feeling optimistic. We’ll see how I feel at 3:30.

Well, they can’t all be winners. 40 years ago, the Dead played what is on many people’s short list for worst show. I used to live up in this neck of the woods and I can’t imagine having a bad time at this show. #Deadheads

55 years ago, the Grateful Dead recorded this set for KQED. In the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, when the Dead came to Albany, my local PBS station would hold a pledge drive and show this video and others. #Deadheads

It’s not the anniversary of this show, but it does have an interesting sequence in the third set. Eyes>China Doll>Wharf Rat is interesting for being three Jerry songs in a row, and the last two being ballads. I don’t know another back-to- back ballad show. #Deadheads

I’m watching Pulp Fiction and I’m thinking about how many of the references won’t resonate with a young person: Fonzie, Ringo, Kool and the Gang, etc., and I’m wondering if the dialogue will just seem bizarre and random.

Seriously, moe. is killing it 2nu.gs/3HrGECJ

50 years ago, Jerry joined the Keith and Donna Band. Nice horn section, and Donna sounds wonderful. #Deadheads

36 years ago, the Grateful Dead encored with Foolish Heart, the only time they would do so. This is some really nice amateur footage from a really nice venue. I never saw the Dead there, but I did see Phil with Galactic, Mule, SCI, and moe., and that was pretty good, too. #Deadheads

I don’t know if any of y’all are horror fans, but I’m about to watch TCM on the big screen and I’m pretty stoked.

I’m not sure how many times I’ve seen this in a theater, but I’m happy see it one more time. #Deadheads

You know it. You love it. 50 years ago today. It’s the Dead’s first archival release. In high school, I had the two-cassette version because I hadn’t made the jump to CDs yet. This will make a nice soundtrack this morning as I prep my classroom for the upcoming year. #Deadheads

It’s great to see these old photos of the band

51 years ago, Jerry and Merl played an old familiar place. #Deadheads

Happy Sunday! #Deadheads

I found this 5.5-inch square nail on my hike today. There were lots of hillside farms in the 18th and 19th centuries that were later abandoned and you’ll find all sorts of debris, but this hill was too steep to farm and I couldn’t find a nearby cellar hole, so I’m at a loss as to how it got there.

Death of a Unicorn is a real hoot.

I’m watching recent Phish video and I think whoever is in charge of cinematography should receive an award or two.

I feel like I’ve seen how this will play out

Pour one out for Nectar’s. They are closed for good.

As the Ambassador of Eastarctica, I strenuously object to the unjust detention of my western neighbor.

Yes please!

What the connection between the Grateful Dead and Anne Murray? #Deadheads

Here’s some nice pro-shot footage of the Dead playing “Looks Like Rain” and “Might as Well” at Ventura from 40 years ago today. There’s also a brief interview with Steve Parish. #Deadheads

Yeah, I’m watching the Prince theatrical film “Sign ‘o’ the Times” on Tubi.

As I await the new book by @sgj.bsky.social I have a new short story to read by way of the newest issue of Weird Tales

I know a lot of folks are noting the 30th anniversary of the last show, but if that gets you down like it gets me down, you can instead get down to this video of Jerry Garcia Band from 49 years ago today. #deadheads

I’m pulling out my copy of View From the Vault I to watch this show from 35 years ago today, but you can watch it here: #Deadheads

56 years ago, the Grateful Dead played a free show with the Allman Brothers, the Hampton Grease Band, Delaney and Bonnie, and Spirit. Gregg and Duane Allman might have played on Lovelight. #Deadheads

Get your Sunday started with a little bit of Calypso wisdom from 35 years ago today. #Deadheads

Independence Day here in Vermont. #Deadheads

50 years ago, Jerry Garcia celebrated Independence Day with this funky gig. #Deadheads

I know it isn’t Sunday, but don’t sleep on this sweet Jerry Garcia Band soundboard from 48 years ago today. #Deadheads

51 years ago, the Grateful Dead played a really extraordinary second-set jam that opens with a Weather Report and continues for the next half hour or so. This was among my first tapes and I played the hell out of it. #Deadheads
