5-13-77

I do like fall ‘91, Phil’s tone never sounded better. I’m kind of the freak that loves ‘78 and ‘84 with ‘85 being my favorite year.

I almost fell asleep driving to a spring ‘90, Standing on the Moon, two days ago!
Drink some coffee, Jerry!

Ha! That’s like asking for a danceable version of To Lay Me Down.

Polished or not, y’all should be spinning 3/29/90 today. At least the Eyes.

Yeah that’s the good stuff right there -

In the same vein- go here next - 3/27/85
First night of a red hot run out on the island- was front and center, Tom Thumb!

Listened to this one yesterday… it has the Quadfecta of Scarlet>Fire Estimated>Eyes. I about wore this section of tape out back in the day.

Ha! That was my first low-gen SBD tape, that Scarlet>Fire is the one I judge all Scarlet>Fires on. I wore it out also.

The Brent meltdown show as your first, as if the "normal" circus wasn't enough you got some added band drama to set the hook even harder.

Check that, different Maybe You Know show, that was 4/21/86 Greek, this was the first Maybe You Know which clearly caught the rest of the band off guard.

Jazzy AF Scarlet. There really is something to the argument that solo Billy really let the band swing.

Oops just wrote this on an invoice

Umm, the Dancing in the Streets from this show, I think I need to fire it up.

fyi sphere prices should come down quite a bit from face on secondary market with lots of tickets still available. demand does not seem to be that high if anyone is contemplating a trip.

Not sure I have that kind of time, three minutes is like huffing a balloon full of Jerry. He’d approve

Jerry took his time to chase that dragon.

Thoroughly!

How about partying with the Hell’s Angels as commitment to letting it all hang out!

JGB during the hiatus in ‘75 with Billy on drums…

Well, I'm in Vegas with my 8 y/o, ready for the Sphere! Haven't seen the boys since Shoreline in 1998...I told my daughter that if we see a semi coherent elderly man in really short shorts yelling "ahhh!", be polite because it might be Bobby. She's not sure what to think.

In all seriousness, it's pretty cool because my dad took me to my first show at 8 or 9. I feel like there aren't too many bands that span generations with concert experiences.

Oh no. What a bummer.

RIP Bill!

Worcester ‘85 second set opens with the band, myself and 14,000 freaks singing Happy Birthday to Bill who was in attendance. They proceeded to blow the roof off with a monster Shakedown Street. Good times

I’ve had this desk for 30+ years and just noticed this knot today. Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest places if you look at it right…
