They were definitely, definitely talented musicians. Tribute bands can’t reproduce the nuanced playing but nice that they try. Also very progressive, combining musical styles and exploring and weaving atonal, dissonant sounds in to their arrangements seamlessly. Absolutely great music and great that there is so much out there to be listened to. Even the dustiest, rustiest old recording has tonnes of character.
They encouraged people to record and share their concerts. That is sort of philanthropic and not adhering to main stream systems we mostly all live by. It unites people who can see that in the Dead.
The camaraderie it inspired in my group of friends. All we wanted to do was trip and smoke weed and sing along to the Dead. That was a sweet time we took for granted. Gives me a lump in my throat remembering and then Jerry plays a solo… hehe.

I know its not Jerry, but I also have a space in my heart for reggae and this tribute form Burning Spear after Jerry passed always makes me smile.

I love Burning Spear and have seen them/him several times. They covered Estimated Prophet on one of those Dead tribute albums.

I mail ordered tickets for Spring '93 from GDTS. Oh, that ritual of going to the post office to obtain money orders with immaculately prepared envelopes. Here are the unused tickets from the show that was canceled due to the Blizzard Of The Century
Stubs from the other nights of that run

What did you think of the Ken Nordine sit-in? I had been listening to the album he released on Grateful Dead Records with Jerry & Grisman backing him, so I was delighted when he popped up on stage. I never imagined I’d get to see a guy doing Word Jazz for 18,000 crazy fans!

Morning fellow Deadheads. In case you need a vast collection of Dead shows to check out here is the Grateful Dead file on Archive.org. They got a decent Billy Strings file too along with loads of other stuff. Enjoy some or all 16,008 Dead uploads and happy Tuesday

Does anyone remember calling the GD hotline to find out about upcoming shows? Anyone remember the number by heart?
