This is the OP at a worksite computer. Thanks for your story. It must have been a very exciting time for you traveling around so much with your older brother....and seeing so many great shows. Have a very nice year.



Five days into this thread, and no serious contenders.

I hereby proclaim Jdd to be the GLP'er who's been to more Dead shows in one lifetime than anyone else.

I will proudly hold this spot until properly knocked off the podium.

"Thank you very much." (Said in my best Elvis voice.)

Thanks OP! Appreciate this thread. It was a nice way to slide through the New Year.

Yes, I was lucky re: my brother. Just to give him a few more kudos, he was also the pioneer of the "concert news" format on FM radio. It started in Pennsylvania... I forget the station. I think was out of Carlisle... a college station. John would spend half his day on the phone, calling the Dead office and a million other places, finding out who was playing where, how to scoop tickets, etc. Then once a week, he started presenting the info to the local DJ, who broadcast it as "concert news".

My brother could talk your ear off... he often got comp tickets, advance info, etc., just so the party on the other end of the line could get off the phone. Very effective! He was also completely selfless in doing the give-away. He made more Deadheads ecstatic by walking up their "I need a miracle" signs, and handing them juicy, free front row seats. We just loved watching him in action.

What a great culture Dead shows were. If only the world could/would study it carefully, and replicate it. We'd be so much better off.

Happy new year to you, too, OP!

Wow....amazing. What instrument do you play?

Does anyone happen to know if Jerry G. played steel pedal guitar in this song????





Yes, he did. I had that album years ago.
