slightly stoopid and Bobby Weir

Right on. I was just just messing around by fake going off on you. I think you realize that, but I'm not sure everyone else does. A cleavland steamer is when you drop a deuce on someones bare chest, right?

 

Hey Jerry, can you tell whomever is in charge up there to stop dropping Boxes of Rain on my corner of the Mid-Atlantic. This weather is bringing me down bro.

 

It's all these damn pseudo-hippy kids fault.

 

Lolz. I thought the nitrous mafia funded all that?

I absolutely love what they do starting at 3:55ish...

That was incredible. And highly technical, even though I don't know schit about actually playing music.


I don't know where my bias comes from, but there's just something about the Dead, the way they jam, that's just more serious, creepier,...man, I don't even know.

 

Charleston heads... Dark Star Orchestra is playing at the Charleston Music Hall Feb 17. See them if you haven't before. They're the closest thing to actually being the Dead.

 

That was fkn awesome steamer, well donne.

In 2010 I saw them playing as 'The Dead'...Warren Haynes on lead. Ate a big dose but it was truly profound regardless. As cliche as it sounds, it was like he turned into Jerry.

And the lights, all the monitor lights, were the glowing eyes of these gargoyle type critters guarding the stage...then during Drums, Mickey runs up to this giant friggin drum, that was seemingly out of sight beforehand, all southwest Indian stylee patterns on it(in reality), and just starts hammering away. I could feel it in me bones.

They are/were magicians, tricksters of sound. Shamanic in their own right, and I don't throw that word around lightly. Man, sorry for the novella, but fock I just took a trip down memory lane.
