I think it was only a couple days after Jerry died that JB dedicated the show to Jerry.. the whole CRB wore tie dyes.
I think JB said Savannah was the one that got him into Dead music.

My only disagreement with the comments in this thread is the drugs vs drunks notion. poppy cock, balderdash, FALDEROL!! Don't try to pigeon-hole Dead heads OR Parrotheads.. can't be done.

Every time I saw the Dead, the audience would range from 3 year olds to 60 something Senators. HMMMmmm,, maybe that was a JB show! not sure.. I was drunk and tripping at both!

Jimmy's mentioned the Dead playing someplace 2 days, then he followed them the next 2 days and by his second show he could look out in the crowd and tell who had been at all 4 shows. I forget where he said it was but I think it was in the south.

For the most part the shell crowd was not that intoxicated, no drinking in the park that surrounds the venue. Jimmy did mention something about being able to smell the maui crowd> maui waui that is. He told Jake that must be how he knows he's back in the states by the sweet aromas swirling above the crowd. . . Someone mentioned the ability of Parrot heads to keep a steady job and know where the next meal comes from, etc.. That is true for me back in the tour days, but not now. Am I older and wiser, yes, I think. Do I avoid things that might land me in jail, yes. That includes being able to drive home from the show, or spend the night in the parking lot. I think we can all get a long just fine.... Once in awhile you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right....

I didn't appreciate the Dead until Cowboy Junkies put a song on the Deadicated tribute cd. Hearing artists I knew cover the GD made it easier to step into their musical sea. I love what Jimmy does with the Dead covers and "Scarlet Begonias" was a highlight of the Hawaii show. The fact that I had drunk my weight in rum and the joints being passed all around me gave it a Dead Head atmosphere.

Yes, I like Jimmys arrangement of Scarlet. I've been waiting 5 years to see him play that and followed by Southern Cross made it even sweeter. I'm trying to incorporate One Particular Harbor into a Blue Sky(DBetts) > Franklins Tower jam our band does. We'll see how it goes tonight.... I miss Oahu, albeit I was on vacation and not working. Wife wants to pack up the kids and head on over, she thinks she got a job in haleiwa.

When I first saw the lineup for the '82 US Festival I nearly lost my mind. When I found out what a miserable failure it turned out to be, I nearly had a coronary episode.

I would've given a LOT of money--I'm talking taking out a loan--to have been there.

So, if you are ever in Dallas come see us, The Gooney Byrds. I'm in Honolulu today waiting to see JB at the shell tomorrow next gig is 10/17 @ the green elephant Dallas. Working on a myspace site... It's funny, a lot of the Dead heads don't care for the Parrot heads and vice versa. Something about drunks and druggies don't mix. I'm trying to change all that , wish me luck!

I don't think it's the Drugs and Drink.. rather a lifestyle thing..
most of the Deadheads I met are not the type to hold down a job
and or pay rent,bills etc.. and that's fine..

most Parrotheads I know are more of the type to hold a job long term
and prefer to knw just where the next meal is comming from..

and then there is the meat issue..

It wasn't a failure like some other music festivals have been (with deaths, horrible weather, etc.), but considering the enormous amount of money that went into it, the huge technical issues with the expo tents and so forth, it was a failure. It was a great idea with a poor execution strategy.

At least the music was good!

Slightly OT, but where was it the Grateful Dead were getting shocked from storms/lightning but kept playing anyway?
