Fare you well, my honey.

Fare you well, my only true love.

All the birds that were singing

Have flown, except you alone...

John Mayer Talks Magical Dead & Company Tour & Sends Respects to Jerry Garcia

"This tour was magical. This band flourished in so many ways. To learn each others' moves as people and musicians, so as to support each other on stage and off made every night a beautiful adventure. I grew up a lone wolf in a bedroom practicing my guitar, and all I ever really craved was community. The community I feel now between my brothers and sisters in this band and crew, and the connection between everyone in the audience from the front row to the back, to those who listened from couches and cars, to those who come up to me and say more with their eyes than their words in their attempt to tell me what this means to them - I will never forget it, because I will never stop feeling it. We're together now. I'm honored to be one of many musicians in the larger community of the GDEU (Grateful Dead Extended Universe.) And it must be said - to Jerry: what a light you are that I could bask in your shadow. ❤️⚡️🌹💀 love you all.." -John Mayer

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..."

Big Boss Man - Grateful Dead (1970)

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

Easy Wind - Grateful Dead (1970)

"Gotta find a woman be good to me,

won't hide my liquor try to serve me tea..."

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.

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..."

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!"
