Wonky visuals, but a clear audio of this sweet version of Eyes with Branford Marsalis on 3/29/90 "I came up for "Bird Song", and after the set was over, I said, 'Thanks for letting me play, guys.' And they're like, 'No, no, stay! Play the second half of the show. We'll do "Dark Star".' That had no significance to me. I'm like, ' "Dark Star"? Okay. What is it?' 'Oh, you're gonna love it. It's free, it's out.' 'Great, I can play out.' They start playing that lick, and the audience goes fucking bananas. Later, I started getting these phone calls on my private number: 'Man, you were great last night. Thanks for getting them to play "Dark Star". They haven't played it in six months.' I'm like, 'Who are these people?'... There was almost nothing [the Grateful Dead] couldn't play—and make the shit sound authentic. When they played a song by The Band or Bob Dylan, they played it with the same spirit as The Band or Dylan. They didn't feel the need to write their own arrangement of it. They were all listeners. There is a point where musicians who establish themselves stop listening to music and start listening to their own rhetoric. The Dead didn't do that. It was obvious in the way they approached a song." — Branford Marsalis

5/8/77 The famously favorite show among deadheads. Bobby said the sound is particularly good, but thought there were better shows on that spring '77 tour. Anyway...here's the full show link. The Morning dew...well...don't get much better than that...

The Grateful Dead Movie is a classic. From the "yes, this is very much what a weird acid trip can be like in your brain" animated opening (that Jerry was intricately involved with creating) to the concert footage that is a full-on immersion into the Grateful  Dead concert experience.

Nicely edited clips from Jerry interviews...

Ken Kesey / Merry Pranksters Documentary. The cross-country trip in a psychedelically painted school bus when LSD was still legal encapsulates so much of what lead to the 60s and the whole ead scene. And is the basis for Tom Wolfe's book "The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test". It's nostalgic now...and to me a bit sad...the naivety revealed, etc. But it's honest.

Such a sweet version of Sugaree...

Love the visuals in this clip of a crisp version of Franklin's Tower..
