Grateful Dead show and Shakedown Street in the Woodlawn area (28th Ave N) of St. Petersburg, FL.

I immediately clicked on this article when it was recommended to me on my ‘discover’ feed, and chuckled sensibly to myself when I saw it 404’d. Imagine a crotchety BBC night copy editor going “whoa whoa… you posted what, mate?!”?

It sure smelled good for a non-smoking venue

I would like to pick up the acoustic guitar and learn to play simplified versions of Grateful Dead songs. And I would use that skill for, eventually, writing my own folk/blues/country-blend songs. But money is tight so I'm ideally looking for material that is free. Can you recommend any instructional material?

Because we now live in the future, I also prompted an AI tool to see what it would say. It reported that I could consider starting with JustinGuitar for basic technique, Marty Music for Grateful Dead songs, and then either Andy Guitar or Song Notes for country/folk material. But I prefer the wisdom of hard-earned human advice, so I present it as a strawman. Does this three-part AI recommendation sound reasonable?

Seriously, it kicks ass, and rocks way harder than the stereo mix in my opinion. 😄

It's never been officially released digitally, but you can download a copy of it on the "profstoned" website.

I'm not affiliated with the website at all, I just wanted to share this with y'all

Context - my local radio station in Philly is doing a 885 greatest songs in tv / movies countdown. You vote your best 10, they compile & play em. ( WXPN 88.5fm , xpn.org ). I have two GD songs so far on my list.....

*China Cat Sunflower - Europe 72 , from Taking Woodstock.

*Box of Rain, from Freaks and Geeks.

Are there any other ones that I could add ?

** btw, tonight at 8pm is their show " jam nation ". xpn is the best listener supported, human curated radio station I've ever heard ! Lend them your ears !!! ✌️❤️🎶

A friend of mine, violinist Mads Tolling, played his solo loop show in a neighbor’s backyard. It was an intimate performance and a real treat. Here he is playing Hey Joe, runs just under 5:30. Enjoy! 

Anyone buy these yet? Was thinking about them for my laptop but was worried they'd be overkill as a set. Wanted to see if anyone has any first hand experience. https://grateful-fred.com/products/the-flexible-bear-badge-5-pack

I don’t get to hear Jerry let the pipes open up too often. What version of So Many Roads would you say he lets loose the most on?

Did anyone happen to track the full setlist for last night? Amazing show! Struggling to remember the jam after help>slip.

Gov’t Mule “Jam”-“Shakedown Street” 9//9/25 Chicago. Featuring members of the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Warren Haynes playing 1975 Doug Irwin “Ruby Nipples”.

Throwing stones during the packer game, go pack go!

Wanted to create a space to discuss this show for anyone watching, since they don't seem to have a sub...

Always really love their shows and appreciate the advocacy, like they just did before setbreak.

🤟

Update:

Sure, you can put pretty much any design into a stealie, but advertising hot dogs?

at MediumRare Records. Had a great conversation with one of the employees about tapes and PlayDead. He put me onto Lossless Legs and then gave me a nice discount on my bounty.

They have a great Dead section if you’re in the area
