I tell you when the window appears on the seaches, there is a burst of color and beautiful psychellic art and hard to choose which to post!
Inspired by a blog I follow "Blast From The Past-Blowin' In The Wind" [link here]

I like how busy this is
You can take time
finding things.

| Ticket and "Silky" for Jerry's Last Concert I lived in Vegas then they were at Sam Boyd that year. Didn't go. Saw all the Dead Heads in town. |
I always thought their music a bit mellow for the imagery of a skull and all.
I guess ya gotta be there to know it. Hearing it for the first time in a long time. Makes me feel young and stangely wanting a Suburbia Submarine Sandwich from a place I worked around that time frame. OH now typing it I am thinking of the Pepsi Pepsi Gyro Pespsi guys at the Gyro place I ate my first Gyro. Authentic Greek guys. On State Street in Madison, Wisconsin.
In 1977 ish actually owned a copy of Skeletons In The Closet and it was a special yellow vinyl edition. I liked the art is why I bought it.
I really admire how the Dead Heads followed the band. They had a bad LSD stigma, though.
The pictures are mostly from Wolfgang's Vault. These were printed as posters and playbills back in the day.

Oh what a blast from the past. Loved all of them and the LSD too! I was pretty into it. Maybe that's why I'm warped today...haha. Great post.
I am liking that you aren't a liar. So many of my childhood schoolmates whisper about their pasts! HoLLa Girl! Thanks!
Why lie? My life is an open book, as evidenced by my blog postings. If I was worried that people would think less of me, I would not post 1/2 of what I do.
I had a "live" 8-track by the Dead back in the early 70's. I wore that thing out. I think it ended with "Mama Tried" and "GDTRFB". I gotta post that shit!
For real. I was hoping this would help with Tim's stress. It allowed me a look back and rememberence of a kick ass tune and wonderful art.
I was offered Orange Sunshine once but it fell through. It was part of my college major in tokeOlogy and acid analysis with beer chaser.
Mr Natural came by and set me on my short study. It was a mild yet surrealistic experience. Never had sex on it. Should I bucket list that?
I'm miss those bands of gypsys that followed the Dead from all over.
I'm finally getting some good rest so the stress level is receding somewhat. Thanks for this post!
That's what I get for taking a day off from blogging!
I figured you'd notice it soon enough. I had fun with this. So much beautiful work. I remember the news always had some negativity added to the fact Dead Heads were coming to town the two times in Vegas just before Jerry died. I saw a lot of nice looking cars and motorcyles coming through. A lot of Dead Heads are successful well established and oh yea oldER.
