Have a happy weekend everyone !
Warm days like this in February return me to the feeling of anticipation of Spring Tour. For a few years we were truly Deadicated.
Fimo beads and Jerry faces made of Sculpy clay were in high production. Only bad part was baking them in the oven. Stunk up the whole place.

I think I was at that show, and if Iām correct that I was, that was an excellent show!
That must have been a great time, definitely a great tape Were you at the 5/7/77 Boston Garden show?
77 had some stellar shows, thatās for sure!!
No, Iād never been to the east coast then. I donāt have a lot of regrets about my life and the way I spent (some might say misspent it) it, but one actually involves the GD. The alternative bus service The Green Tortoise (originally The Grey Rabbit) used to do a month (or longer) GD show tour. They would follow the band through an entire US (I donāt think Canada) tour. Youād sleep on the bus, meals were provided in the tour cost. I never did a tour, and I do regret that. Would have gotten me to the east coast sooner too!
I wonder if anyone here ever did one of those tours?
Iām outta likes from the seed giveaway soā¦
Iām sure there are some around that did that. I was still too young back then, but when the Dead did start following me around, they seemed like they were everywhere we were. Mindblowing, I know, we had fun - but iām not sure how many marbles iād have left if i was on one of those bus trips
oh, iām digginā that
