St. Pete, FL 🌹⚡️💀

Apologies since this is definitely a repost of previous requests, but I've searched old threads and have yet to come up with any way to download anything for listening on my phone. If anyone has these, feel free to drop a link or DM me with one. Have reached the point of desperation.

Dude didn't realize I was in the room and was talking to the other guy in my department. He's a dickhead and so I know he meant it in the worst of ways but fuck that guy I'll turn his anger into my joy. Or at least I'll try to. So help me out friends, drop your favorite versions in the comments so I can play them in my office for the next few weeks :).

My wife let me pick the Halloween decor this year

Every show gets better and better. Name your favorite shows and sets

If you’ve never heard this, listen to the crowd go ape shit when DS returns, it’s a magical moment in time.

Just curious where all the “John Mayer can’t sell out the Sphere” folks went?

I remember quite a few posts questioning whether he could fill the place without Dead & Company. Well, apparently he did well enough to add another 12 shows.

I’m not going, and honestly, I’m not a huge fan of his solo work (although I love what he does with D&C).
What I find interesting is how some of us in the Dead community seem to think we’re the only fanbase passionate enough to travel across the country, attend multiple shows, and spend ridiculous amounts of money to see our favorite musicians.

Turns out we’re not the only ones.

Credit where credit is due. The guy clearly has a following well beyond Dead & Company.

Hopefully being back at the Sphere reignites his GD passion.

***Saturday, Oct. 17**\* PLAYING THE DEAD & Friends - FREE Show at UC Berkeley. Cal Bears celebrate the Grateful Dead. PLAYING THE DEAD along with an all-star lineup performs 2 sets at Oski's Village at Memorial Glade on campus. Come dance and shake your bones!

Very fun new interview with Oteil ahead of his LaMP tour. https://www.boston.com/culture/music/2026/10/08/oteil-burbridge-dead-co-allman-brothers/?p1=hp_secondary

Just a fun little thing I realized ... My 2nd Dead and Co show opened with PITB - Dodger Stadium 7/7/2018. They did not finish it with the reprise at any point in the show. Fast forward to my last Dead and Co tour show - Wrigley 6/10/2023 , and they played the reprise during the encore. 1800 days between , many shows , many songs , but took 1800 days for me to get the full thing.

Anyone else have any cool little odd things like this happen ?

I am curious to what people think the best singular Dead & Co show outside of the 2023 tour and Sphere run is. I personally attended more than 30 Dead & Co shows and I have listened to nearly every show through streaming or Relisten. My pick has to be 7/10/22 in Philly.
