The Whole Show.

Eyes of the World brought Ecstsaic swirlings in flashbacks of psychedelic peacock feathered intracacy over my awareness, through my mind and body. And the bliss in each note played by Garcia in Bird song I thought unsurpassable, untill the build up and explosion of ecstatic joy as it ended. Thank You. Other that by name I have little idea of who you all are. Nor do I know how you can possibly keep up the quality in the content of most of the shows, but I beg of you please, please keep it up. You have brought bliss, ecstacy, joy, happyness and sublime beauty, and so much more to at least one individual sitting in Devon England. The majority of individuals around here still say "Who?" When the Dead are mentioned. The one Dead tune on the local duke boxes is Suger Magnolia, from American Beauty. 60s nostalga section. It's like living in the dark ages. Thank you for being you.

Please excuse spelling of Ecstsatic in the first line of my previous comment, hope you got my meaning. And by line 5 I wrote, 'Other 'that' by name', When I should have said, Other than by name, OK. thats's all. Sorry. Please forgive the typos. Although, with reference to the duke box comment at the end. I do realise that very few Dead tracks ever make it onto local juke boxes. Probably due to the refined taste of the listeners. Refined music don't tend to generate cash. Three minute Pop generates cash. And as sombody once said "The Grateful Dead have little or nothing to do with pop music". How right that was. There is just no way a three minute airhead could begin to comprehend the intricacies of an elongated Eyes of the World. Anyway, that's all, hope it didn't bore too much.

Thank you for your kind words!

Back in the early 90's during one of your shows you played a mashup of the songs "shakedown street and another brick in the wall" Where can i find this....did you make it?
Miss you guys.... i've been solitary for a while.

"Brickshake #7"

I did indeed make that mashup, before that sort of thing was known as a mashup :^)

I call mine mutilaudio.

"Brickshake #7" has been posted twice in this section: GD Hour #501 and GD Hour #354.
