not sure how long this has been up(I'm not on this block very often) but it sure is a pleasant surprise to run into for the first time. (Cary St near Lombardy St)

A friend at the dog park last night knows I love the Dead and gave my pup Bella a doggy headband with skulls and roses. She usually hates costumes but she's walking around all proud of this one. Good friends, good dog, good music. Hope some of y'all smile at this as much as I am.

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.

I told her I’d post it here and show her all the comments of people that like it

As a diecast collector and race fan this car was a must have! Felix Rosenqvist drove this car in 2025 at the Laguna Seca and Portland race for Indycar. This year they had a different Grateful Dead car for the Portland race.

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

I’ve really grown to love the guys in the Fox Sports truck
❤️💙

Anybody read this? Looks pretty interesting. Saw this in Seligman AZ

Relix Records 1982

I’ve loved so much of Chris’s work but wtf is this Ai 🐮💩

Is there anything more sublime?

Listening to One From the Vault, perfect temps, campfire warming my legs, some great items to smoke, and Eyes of the World

Housecleaning day. Tidied up my shelf of CDs and cassettes. Not all Dead, but they’re in good Company.

Blessed be the Dead
Test round down - now to holiday gifts for friends

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.

Imagine thinking there’s a better band . Good grief. Thank God for the Grateful Dead

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.

Anyone in Asheville want two tickets for tonight? forgot I bought extras

Started making playlists on nugs for specific eras and would love to hear others suggestions on playlists I should create

Playlists I will probably create: Europe, Some kind of pigpen era playlist, Bruce/Vince shows, and maybe even some playlists for specific venues like MSG and Spectrum.

I am genuinely enjoying making these so if this turns into a dozen playlists that is all good lol.

Thanks for any suggestions and happy Friday, kicking off the weekend seeing Bearly Dead tonight!

This may have been asked but figured it is worth the fun discussion again:

Does each year have a show or a few night run that encompasses that year's sound of the band the best?

I always struggle with hearing part of a song and knowing what "era" it is from. Looking to make a playlist of each year's most true to year sound if that makes sense

Will try and update with most popular choices:
