Would have been our wedding song if we didn't elope on a beach in Osterville, Cape Cod.... Can still remember the first time I heard this song sitting in my man's 1968 Olds 442 Ragtop in his parent's driveway......on cassette....it was the spring of 1978......almost hard to believe...32 years....
how on earth is that solo so good? Yeah I get it wing and a prayer but it's so fucking good it hits all cylinders. I was having a bad trip but that made me smile. A lot actually. SO good.
The Encyclopedia Of Jerry Garcia Music Venues Fourteen years ago, I began writing The Encyclopedia Of Jerry Garcia Music Venues. It's the only book that combines all of Jerry's side band dates and the Grateful Dead's dates together by venue. Alphabetically by state, there are over 1300 venues that include rehearsal, recording, performance, living spaces and planned/canceled show venues. The history of each venue is here including architects, builders, owners, opening night performances and other notable appearances, murals, statues, stage prosceniums, backstage areas, pipe organs, secret rooms, hidden tunnels, restorations and demolitions. Jerry's history at each venue includes the bands he played with, setlists, opening acts and other information giving the reader an idea of what went down at every date on every tour. In many cases via dated photos, what guitar Jerry was playing, and other anecdotal stuff that we love to read. I've added eyewitness reports to as many specific dates as possible. These are numerous, hysterical and heartwarming. Thus far I‘ve collected over 1120 hi res venue photos approved by over 900 photographers. I've utilized college and public library special collections, historical societies, museums, Flickr and others. There aren't any Jerry photos, I have photos of the venues themselves to highlight where he played. Jerry owned over 130 musical instruments in his lifetime, giving away most of them. It's all chronicled in a 300 page section called Jerry's Musical Instruments. Envision a two volume, 2400 page set protected in a slipcase, similar to an old bible. This is a book that resembles the records kept for medieval pilgrimages to holy sites. People will want to know centuries from now where it all took place...so there ya go! On June 3rd the Kickstarter campaign launches with a cool little video starring me, and Jerry! That's where you can get the pre-purchase discount. I need your help to reach my goal in order to print this fantastic book. If I’m successful the book will be printed and ready in March 2024.
I was selling nitrous at that show. Got busted next show in Long Island. Hempstead pigs swooped in on me when I wasn't even selling any nitrous. Took my tanks, spent the night in jail. Bailed out a bunch of Deadheads with money I stashed in my sneaker. Then they called me two months later and told me to come pick my tanks and balloons up.
Yeah, the Fat Man does rock my soul. BTW, I still have an '89 tour shirt that was made by a tour-head.... on the front it has Jerry & Bobby dressed as Fatman and Bobbin' (masks and everything), they are swinging from a rope. On the reverse it has a Batman logo and the wording is "Holy Cow Fatman, it's Summer Tour Again!" Did anyone ever see that shirt? If my memory is correct, I got the shirt on the Spring tour.
getting married to this one in three weeks....Jerry will always lives on
Jerry started smiling because the drummer was doing great drumfills. That was badass. Thanks for posting!
Damn, that has to be one of the sweetest most soulful solos Jerry has played on this tune. I love how he explored more soulfulness with his own band.
he was much better w JGB than GD !!
