Psychedelic send-off as Grateful Dead prepare to quit stage

not before time. now if only the Rolling Stones would take the hint.

Very cool. I got to walk up to Watkins Glen with them. They were taking a beat up station wagon and were stuck in the traffic like the rest of us, so got out and chatted a long time as they made their way to the venue. People slowly pulled out of the way to let them through. That was a chore.

Peace man. Life is good.

zichi: Every hear them play China Cat Sun Flower Live? I had had every album they ever made, but gave them all away. Now with turn tables coming back, I should have kept them, but many of my friends with the partying we did were not very kind to them.

A big part of American culture and the lives of many young people through the 70s onwards. Cultish maybe but a legend nevertheless.

The most over-rated band in the history of rock music. Good riddance.

three shows in and no repeated material [unless you could the improv sections "drums" and "space"]....quite the way to go out

No Jerry Garcia, no Dead. These people following since his death have totally missed out.

Best concert ever was at Watkins Glen Race Track in Upstate New York. Three rockin days.
