Black Throated Wind - Bob Weir (2011)

"The black-throated wind keeps on pouring in.

And it speaks of a life that passes like dew.

It's forced me to see that you've done better by me,

Better by me than I've done by you.

What's to be found, racing around,

You carry your pain wherever you go.

Full of the blues and trying to lose

You ain't gonna learn what you don't want to know.

So I give you my eyes, and all of their lies

Please help them to learn as well as to see

Capture a glance and make it a dance

Of looking at you looking at me..."

Deep Elem Blues - Grateful Dead (1981)

"She went down to Deep Elem, now she ain't what she used to be..."

Big Boss Man - Grateful Dead (1970)

"You ain't so big, you just tall, that's about all..."

Easy Wind - Grateful Dead (1970)

Easy Wind - 2016 (Rehearsal)

We really are the most spoiled music fans! This is an amazing look into what makes the Dead and Company so special.

Birdsong (1972) For Janis. For Amy.

"Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passing bye..."

"Sleep in the stars, don't you cry, dry your eyes, on the wind..."

This Day in Music History - July 23rd 2011

Amy Winehouse passed away 5 years ago today. She was a legendary artist who channeled her emotions through music powerfully. She had a beautiful, authentic soul, I miss her dearly!

Even So - Bob Weir (2000)

"Wish you were naked

Wish you were wholesome and sincere

Wish I could fake it

Wish I were anywhere but here

Even so - you make yes look like no

Even so - you've been so nice to know, been so nice to know

But no, but no, oh no, no no, no, no..."

Old Man - Neil Young (1971)

Days Between - Bob Weir (2012)

Days Between 

Written by Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia

This song wasn't meant to be sang by Jerry, it was meant to be sang in remembrance of him <3

"There were days

and there were days

and there were days I know

when all we ever wanted

was to learn and love and grow

Once we grew into our shoes

we told them where to go

walked halfway around the world

on promise of the glow

stood upon a mountain top

walked barefoot in the snow

gave the best we had to give

how much we'll never know we'll never know..."

Jack Straw - Grateful Dead (1972)

Jack Straw

1972

I have been enamored with this song for the passed few days- 

We can share the women

We can share the wine

We can share what we got of yours

'Cause we done shared all of mine

Keep a rolling

Just a mile to go

Keep on rolling, my old buddy

You're moving much too slow

I just jumped the watchman

Right outside the fence

Took his ring, four bucks in change

Now ain't that heaven sent?

Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon

Burns my eyes to see

Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon

Might as well be me

We used to play for silver

Now we play for life

One's for sport and one's for blood

At the point of a knife

Now the die is shaken

Now the die must fall

There ain't a winner in this game

Who don't go home with all

Not with all...

Leaving Texas

Fourth day of July

Sun so hot, clouds so low

The eagles filled the sky

Catch the Detroit Lightning

Out of Santa Fe

Great Northern out of Cheyenne

From sea to shining sea

Gotta get to Tulsa

First train we can ride

Got to settle one old score

And one small point of pride...

Ain't no place a man can hide, Shannon

Keep him from the sun

Ain't no bed will give us rest, man,

You keep us on the run

Jack Straw from Wichita

Cut his buddy down

Dug for him a shallow grave

And layed his body down

Half a mile from Tucson

By the morning light

One man gone and another to go

My old buddy you're moving much too slow

We can share the women 

we can share the wine...

Don't Let it Bring you Down - Neil Young (1971)

Good song to ease the soul from this nightmare world.

Next Time You See Me - Grateful Dead (1969)

So Many Roads - Grateful Dead (1993)

All I know the sun don't shine

the rain refuse to fall

and you don't seem to hear me when I call...

Days Between - Grateful Dead (1993)

"There were days

and there were days

and there were days between

Summer flies and August dies

the world grows dark and mean

Comes the shimmer of the moon

on black infested trees

the singing man is at his song

the holy on their knees

the reckless are out wrecking

the timid plead their pleas

No one knows much more of this

than anyone can see anyone can see..."

AMERICAN PIE! Dob McLean

Happy Independence Day!! 

When asked what "American Pie" means, Don McLean said "It means I'll never have to work again."

Freedom ISN'T Free!

Freedom costs $1.05

Blues for Allah (1975) Grateful Dead

Help on the Way/Slipknot/Franklin's Tower (1976)

Just finished my run with the Dead and Company Summer tour, and had the most soul filling, magical musical experience of my life! (I'm too young to have ever seen Jerry live) Didn't get to see these live, and they are some of my favorites :)

"Poised for flight

Wings spread bright

Spring from night INTO THE SUN!"
