Somewhere in Signpost, I think it is (or some other interview I haven't read for 20 years), Jerry is talking about the days when he and Hunter, newly sprung from the army, were living in derelict cars in Palo Alto (it is left to the reader to contemplate the halcyon days when there were derelict cars in Palo Alto...), mostly on canned pineapple liberated from the armed forces. Many's the time I've thought how different life would be for how many people if not for those days. Anyway, this is the place for fans of Hunter to congregate, pay tribute, fantasize about tours, and otherwise be darn glad we didn't miss this guy.

I thought the venues the Dead played during the 2004 tour were 'just right', I saw Hunter open a few of those shows. during those shows he was really good, lots of anecdotes and off the cuff banter.

yeah...

It was so great I just figured it was the start of getting it all back together. Silly me.

Whatever Hunter wants to do, I'm happy with that. But I'd sure like to see him again too!

A Sad Thing

For me has always been that Jack O Roses his best album IMO and also that fantastic Eagle Mall have never made it to CD.

agreed, re Eagle Mall

though there are tapes of live performances. Brick by brick...

Calico Kaliope come tell me the news!

I REALLY miss the journal. I have a serious RH void in my life right now, can anyone point me the way??

he posts occasionally on DNC, but in my observation it's somewhat sporadic--www.deadnetcentral.com

I think...

I think it's about time Robert Hunter was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame!

Whoa-oh what I want to know
How does the song go
