#OldTime #Bluegrass #goodolegratefuldead And there were days I know When all we ever wanted Was to learn and love and grow Once we grew into our shoes We told them where to go Walked halfway around the world On promise of the glow

Billy Strings in Utrect, Netherlands - 8 October 2025

#billystrings #bluegrass
Today I’m celebrating Jerry’s life at a bluegrass festival in France, and just came from a lecture on bluegrass that mentioned Jerry and the dead’s influence.

Because I had just moved I had no internet, no TV, and no community to mourn with. I had seen over 150 Deads shows + 25+ Jerry shows over the previous 16 years. And on that day 30 years ago I felt lost. /2
I had just moved to Ithaca, NY two days earlier (hhad been living in SF) to start graduate school. The morning of the 9th was spent meeting with faculty. When I got home early afternoon my ex told me that Jerry had passed. 1/

Neil Young - Brussels 30 June 2025

The last time I saw this guy live was 31 years ago at a Bridge School Benefit.
Le troisième jeudi du mois est la soirée Old Time Jam à Bruxelles

The 3rd Thursday of the month is Old Time Jam night in Brussels
Jerry looked very worn out for that Highgate show.

I think ‘88 to ‘91 was the best run for me. That time between Jerry’s coma and Brent passing
Hard to say a favorite show.

I got to see them pull out Ripple in Landover MD…I guess it’s was ‘88.
30 years ago today - 15 June 1995 - I saw the Grateful Dead for the final time. I had gotten on the bus 14 years earlier and seen 150+ shows by then.
