Grateful Dead promo shots for a teen mag/1967(Click for optimal viewing)
My pal Aiko Jim sent me this gem. Mickey Hart was on the news last evening, discussing The Dead's recent invitation. They're playing an inaugural ball on Tuesday. Not surprising, since they did play two benefit concerts for Obama. And yet, if you were a Dead fan way back when some were embarrassed to admit to it... this is news.
I can't help thinking how Jerry would feel about all of this, if he were here now. But nothin's gonna bring him back...
Jimmy and I were THERE for this 'He's Gone.' Recorded on December 26th, 1979 at the Oakland Auditorium. Opening night of the New Year's run, and a benefit for SEVA. What a night that was. Right Jimmy?
