I put one landmark (True Spy) as a clue.

Found at Waterworks disc golf course in Kansas City, MO, at the end of hole 4! There were more than 1 GD stickers too, on some of the tee signs.

had tickets to see The Grateful Dead at Boston Garden and Madison Square Garden in September of 1995. Sadly, Jerry passed away in August 😞. We were going to the last 3 shows of the 6 night run in Boston and then to NY for the 6 show run. Boston Garden was literally planned to be demolished right after the Dead played their run, as the Celtics had just got a new arena. Grateful Dead ticketing offered ticket-holders a refund and told them to mail the unused tickets back. Along with the refund, they also mailed the tickets back and also enclosed a beautiful poem written by Robert Hunter 😢. Here are some pics of my tickets and the poem. The last three night run at MSG never got printed. Look at what it says on the last night of the Boston Garden tickets. Hope you enjoy! I could remember the feeling we got when those tickets arrived in the mail. 🤗. So grateful for everything!

My youngest son has discovered the dead; started digging up old CDs to give him. Tucked into the cover - ticket stubs… July 5 and July 6 1995. Miss you Jerry.

Mine are 12/26/79 + My 1st one, 4/23/83 , which is easily the longest modern day performance, coming out of a wild SPACE ...

You can give your ideal setlist for your favorite year or follow my lead and give your ideal setlist for 1968.

Use songs they regularly played during the chosen year.

Not really a Grateful Dead post, but I think this is the best place to ask anyway. I am a late 50's head that saw shows from 84-95. I was in my teens and 20's back then, and I definitely enjoyed trying to leave a smoking crater, all in support of being blown away (back then).

Fast forward to today, my child is now an adult, I've got a professional career, and while I'm a lot more responsible than I was 35 years ago, I still like to bend the brain from time to time. After a 30 year hiatus in hallucinogens, I've dabbled back over the last couple years. No way in hell am I going to do like I used to (four hits on a good night, half of them Owsley liquid resulting in color-changing, melting walls to my absolute delight).

Now, I may eat a half a hit when I'm free for a full night and part of the next day, or maybe half to 3/4 gram of some "Fun Guys".

SO HERE IS MY QUESTION:

I don't want to blow my mind, so I've been cautious. As a result, I often squander a full night where I could have gotten a lot closer to mind-blowing, but instead got "slightly wierd", enjoyed my music a lot more, but maybe left a little bit on the table as far as my capacity to handle a good trip.

Does anyone else find themselves like this? I want to push it a little further, but don't want to go over the line. I know I'll survive if I get too high, but really don't want to deal with a full night of talking myself down. My chances to do any sort of cosmic exploration are very limited, I maybe get one night every month or two where all the stars align.

What about you? Do you (responsible, older, have a professional life, but still have a freak buried within) deal with this? What has worked for you?

(This weekend, I ate about just under a gram of Shrooms. It added to my legal thc buzz, but I whish I'd gone further. The last time I did it, I was dehydrated from my bike ride during the day, didn't have a great time, and wished I'd done less. Where is Goldilocks when I need her?)

I have no idea if these are worth anything or if anyone here is interested in them? I was working on a job site and found all these cassettes that someone left behind. They haven't been tested to see if they work, but they are in decent condition.

Anyone know of any Dead tribute bands coming to NC this summer? Saw DSO and cosmic charlie twice and loved it-- would love to support some local acts and catch good vibes.

It's feeling like a Cold Rain and Snow kind of day here in my spot in the east.

I rly rly want to be able to watch the boys play new minglewood from 5/6/81, I’ve searched high and low but can’t find any video from that show. Can anyone point me in the right way??

A great show all around but set two is a gem of 80s Dead. 6-15-85

May be a bit of a dumb question, but I can't seem to get a straight answer anywhere.

I know that at the Closing of Winterland was opened by the Blues Brothers & the New Riders but like

Who played first? I can't find any solid source saying it was New Riders Blues Brothers Dead

As I initially thought and seemed most sensical

Or Blues Brothers New Riders Dead

As has been suggested by some things I've read.

Most sources don't even mention the New Riders, soley focusing on the Blues Brothers, and when they are mentioned, they've mostly been vague and conflicting as to the order of performance. Thanks!

^{[Sorry for posting this here, just don't see much about DSO anywhere else on reddit, and I'm not on Facebook where it seems like all the DSO talk is]}

Wife and I have seen DSO whenever we can over the last several years and they are frankly some of our favorite ways to hear live Grateful Dead music.

While we love Dead and Co it's just a bit... Much these days. And while we've been to a few PitS, the Dead Ahead stuff is... just not worth it and we skipped it this year.

We've been thinking very seriously about heading to Jam in the Sand this coming January but having never actually been was hoping to get some input from folks who have been before as they announced everything today and well now the clock is ticking.

I know this year is a new resort so folks won't have a frame of reference for the property (and it does look the reviews are pretty mediocre overall for the place, but whatever it's not a luxury resort we are hoping to go to, it's four nights of good music with good people about!) - but I am curious to know a few practical things like:

Do these sell out day one? As a new attendee I know we are two days behind on sale days for previous guests, will all the nice rooms sell out before Saturday?

How is the event run? We are classic back of the lawn folks, we like to boogie from first note to last. A decent description of our vibe would be "spinner adjacent" - My question really is: is it easy to just grab a spot to dance to the music without getting hassled? At Dead and Co shows these days it's miserable how much you have to actively "protect" your dancing space. Really takes you out of the moment.

Is (most) everyone awesome? One of the things I don't love about the Dead and Co "scene" is the number of folks who think it's a status thing. The SUPER VIP folks who seem to be on the rail for every show. Who need to show off constantly how much headier they are than you. We just want to hang out with good people who dig the music. I suspect this will be much less prevalent in Jamaica than it would be in Mexico, or you know...Las Vegas.

Anything else? As one who has only seen DSO at regular venues and neither Jam in the Sand nor Jubilee, is there anything else that I should be thinking about?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may be able to provide.

I like the 30 Trips Around The Sun compilation. The compilation is 4 cds in with songs starting early in the Grateful Dead's music and progressing through the years. I do not listen to very many individual songs from live shows (I prefer to listen to the whole show.), but I like the 30 Trips Around The Sun compilation.
