Baby M and I were at this show together twenty-one summers ago. My pal Gem had passes for us, so we went in style. Comfort is good-- especially with a nine month old in tow. My buddy Aiko Tim was there as well.
Later on, we relaxed at best pal Gem's in Eugene. Miss M enjoys her sink bath, whilst our (sweet departed) Tim assists me. The goofy way he is looking at me makes me grin through tears. We were never romantically intertwined, but I loved him more dearly than I can say. Life has since pushed on, as it tends to do. As for that baby girl in the sink, she's 21.5 now, and living quite contentedly in the city of my birth.There were days between....

Sweetsad. Good song -- I love the Cure.
It was a bittersweet time. I miss that part of my life so much, the Dead and all that emcompasses. I could really use a show right about now.
you and me BOTH, sister! even if it were ALL weir cowboy songs, i think burst with utter joy!
i am sooo jealous, but not at all in a snarky way...this was my alltime favorite tape that i listened to day in day out...what a 1st set, huh? oooh baby...
my show partner has also passed on...things will never rver be the same, but a phil show still sends tingles down my spine...
and here's to those jingly jangly rickenbacker sounds =) *clink*
Great shot and memory. Who says money means everything?????
BTW, you should record an oral history or something of your Dad. I'd surely be interested in hearing him myself.
Hope all is well your way! ; ) Cheers!
Lovely photo. Just lovely!
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now.
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives.
Don't know how it all got started,
I don't know what they're doin with their lives.
I know what you mean.
Annie, I took the liberty of stealing your graphic (called a STEALIE, after all, you know, for a reason! :P) and made a site link to the Obama campaign for anyone who wants to post it.
I am hosting this image at my googlegroups site. Image address is below. (I had to skip lines so Blogger would accept it, just smush the whole thing together!)

Blogger repeatedly (grr!) would not let me post this code EXACTLY ("HTML cannot be accepted"), but you can link the image to whatever URL you want. I chose the Obama campaign site:

FEEL FREE TO DISTRIBUTE WIDELY! :)
PS: Thanks for the image.
I never understood wht Dylan and the Dead skipped the entire Chicago area on that tour. Without Dylan they'd do four nights at Alpine. With him, zilch.
daisy: no problem-and i made it a link as well. :)
days and weeks, months and years...I think there are many of us who have such wonderful memories and long for that time again, and yet...what a beautiful journey it has been, eh?
this photo is beyond sweet. I feel the love!
very sweet memories..and music woven in...they grow up too fast...yes they do..
( I miss the Dead too..esp Jerry..)
