I've Been All Around This World (Live) - Jerry Garcia

A memorable #PhilLesh moment from The Grateful Dead Movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s2-yCG9YQ8 #gratefuldead #music #antiracisthippie

Happy St. Stephen's Day to all Deadheads who celebrate!

Saint Stephen with a rose
In and out of the garden he goes
Country garden in the wind and the rain
Wherever he goes the people all complain

Stephen prospered in his time
Well, he may and he may decline
Did it matter, does it now?
Stephen would answer if he only knew how

Other times I can barely see" ... your eyes because they're black and a black-capped chickadee has, unsurprisingly, a black cap. And it's a side-lit photo and no catch-light is hitting the eyes.

this week, on a left-turning/zig-zagging good ol' #GratefulDead-cast, we recover a lost tape of the dead jamming with #SanFrancisco's sufi choir at winterland in march 1971, diving into hidden threads of dead history. it features the remarkable story of choir director allaudin mathieu (now 87!) who was an arranger for stan kenton & duke ellington, a downbeat #jazz writer, & #improv #comedy pioneer with second city & the committee before meeting sufi sam lewis. https://www.dead.net/deadcast/dead-and-sufi-choir-371 #podcast /1

Paying tribute to Phil Lesh on the latest Brokedown Podcast episode, out today. A few friends contribute their thoughts and stories and I selected a lot of great music. The musical segments cover only a fraction of what Phil gave and will always mean to all of us but, hopefully they feel like a hug to see you through.

Ah, I remember now why November is my favorite month: it's time for 30 Days of Dead! They release a track from The Vault daily, you try to figure out what show it was from, and you could win a prize.
