The #gratefuldead played #shorelineamphitheatre 39 times (‘87-‘95). I was fortunate enough to be in attendance for 38 of those performances. Today is the anniversary of the show I missed (10.4.87). My favorite version of Jack Straw opened the show. Give it a listen — a note for note masterpiece!

Such an incredible song — I experienced quite a gamut of emotions while listening to it the other night. I love that we get to have so many wonderful experiences while in this lifetime.

@davidlemieux.bsky.social Off the top of your head, can you recall the most notable Phil bomb crescendo in To Lay Me Down?

Never heard a note of this show before today. Exceptionally well played for the era. Got a couple of American Beauty classics, a dual homage to Pigpen, straight 🔥 from Jerry on Watchtower and a gorgeous Stella Blue. #TIGDH

Hey Doc, if you wanna trade teams, try giving the Giants a watch. A truly disgusting product!

I’m sure that we can all relate to a moment or a period of time where everything clicked and the course of our lives was changed forever. For me, that happened 38 years ago today! I was 16 and took LSD for the first time. I found my place on the bus and have been on it ever since! 🌹💀⚡️#gratefuldead

My wife is hilarious — last song was called “Maybe So, Maybe Not” and this one is called “Nightshades.” #phish

I love when the universe sends me confirmation that I did a good job as a parent. Received this photo from my college-aged daughter earlier today of something that now adorns her ride. #gratefuldead #dancingbears
