...and in 1995, I woke up in a cold sweat thinking it was all a dream. Damnit.
Will never forget the Music and the Magic....... I miss it dearly.
Peace to all you fellow travelers who helped to make "IT" happen.
Someday we shall be there again!
And thank you Jerry........
If I think about it too much I can send myself spinning back to that day and feel that emptiness all over again. I still go to a lot of concetrts, but I will never have that feeling of anticipation before every set, every show and every song again.
Rest in Peace. You deserve nothing less after all the joy and love you and your music gave to so many of us. You may have left us in the physical sense, but your spirit and music continues to live within us.
I find it amazing that there were no shows on this date. Just curious, how many "dark" days were there. Given the sheer number of shows, I would think there wouldn't be too many.
BTW, thanks Aud for this feature, I really enjoy it.
Somewhere out there in another dimension I know you are sittin, strummin, laughin, and happy and I want you to know you will always be missed. Someday we too will get on the last bus outa here, the one that truly does stop at furthur... and I hope wherever that is... is where I'm going someday too!
And with that... my most favorite song and most favorite lyrics from that song.....
"Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.
The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own.
Wake now discover that you are the song that the morning brings.
But the heart has its seasons, its evenin's and songs of its owns."

I MISS YOU JERRY!!!!!!
