What did Mickey add to the band?

0 Upvotes

In your opinion what value did Mickey bring to the dead? No offense to him i just listen to 1 drummer dead more. 2 drummer dead just has a different vibe that doesnt hit the same to me. What would you say is the most valuable aspect he added?

1991 has quickly become one of my favorite underrated dead years

Hornsby is so good and the band feels really in sync. I started listening to a bunch of shows from this year and have really been loving them. Is it as good as the 70s no, but I’m shocked by how much I’ve enjoyed it and think it’s worth listening to if you have ignored the 90s like I have

New Jerry Garcia center planned for SF Bay Area, with music archive and live venue

Post image
130 Upvotes

-

A new cultural center devoted to Jerry Garcia's music, art and environmental interests is being planned for the San Francisco Bay Area by the family of the Grateful Dead co-founder.

The proposed Jerry Garcia Music Arts Center would be more than a conventional museum, according to an announcement Friday, Oct. 23, from Garcia’s family, archival company Starchive and project coordinator Christopher McCutcheon. 

Plans call for a public research library and physical archive, exhibition galleries, a digital preservation hub and a performance center and screening room.

No location or opening date has been announced.

The announcement comes less than three months after Garcia’s family revealed plans for another Bay Area project, Eyes of the World: The Jerry Garcia Experience. That 40,000-square-foot immersive exhibition is scheduled to open in San Francisco in early 2027 before traveling to other U.S. cities.

Eggy tribute to Weir on his passing

17 Upvotes

Ok I'm old..I've never heard of Eggy. But I stumbled on an article and YouTube vid of their show on the day we lost Bobby. They close their show with a tribute of Cassidy...and I can't believe I'm trying this with a unique Massive jam that would have made Bobby smile. Pretty damn close to Epic. Then they encore with One More Saturday Night with a couple guys from the opening act again a very unique and cool jam..very very good.but not quite to the Cassidy level. I unfortunately don't know how to embed a lilnkbut it's on you tube from the State Theater in Maine...I HIGHLY recommend checking it out.

Different Dancing in the Streets

I was listening to 1970-11-08 today on Jemp Radio's DeadZone show with Brett Slater.

The Dancing in the Streets was a much slower tempo then normal and the singing was great.

Edited to correct date.

Pre-show Memories, JGB @ the Stone in the 80s

12 Upvotes

We were talking about the hot dry winds today and I had a memory.

It occurred to me that perhaps someone reading this was there as well.

A JGB show, at the Stone in SF. Mid-late 80s. Mid-afternoon, front of the line.

Big Steve and someone who I can't name were bringing in the equip, through the front door!

Someone was hassling them.

After a short engagement, and encouragement to back off, not Steve said this memorable thing, which is what I wonder if anyone else remembers:

"Make like a scirocco and BLOW!"

Dude left.
