@@dondraper217 Terrapin opened without the familiar whistles and greetings that familiar favorites are met with. I know my response was "whoa, this is something new" then being carried away by the magical mix of story and music. Estimated Prophet was much the same, but the crowd was more prepped for new stuff. Sure is nice to have the whole thing available.
I read that Hunter when Robert Hunter heard the Dead play this for the first time this night he said he felt he was closest to being on this earth to do what he was supposed to do and that just chokes me up
The other day, it was September 1st, and I was listening to Wondering Why, it was a Jerry Garcia & Merle Saunders Band version, and it just so happened to be from 50 years ago exactly!
I just looked up the best version of this, and this is it. I did 25 shows in 2 years in 88/89. I was in Philly during shakedown street era. Because I was "experienced" some of those shows were tremendous, but I'll allow it. XD.
Remember Ken Kesey (The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test)? Something to do with a colorful bus and an Ampex recorder?... Do Not cancel-out your Serotonin... It's your master mixer neurotransmitter! Tried LSD ~50 yrs. ago, been running away from its infuence, ever since! Scary when you lose self control... your ego's are more than welcome here! (how else can we have great sex) Yeah, we can argue politics and disagree, but it's ok, thank you for being you!
