30 years ago, I saw my favorite Phish show. It was also the coldest I ever felt while standing outside waiting for the doors to open.

54 years ago, the Dead played the second of four nights at the Felt Forum, which is now known as the Hulu Theater. I prefer the old name. For this tour, Warner Brothers sponsored a number of live-radio broadcasts. This is the WNEW broadcast.

Baby, it’s cold outside, but this show from 54 years ago is hotter than Georgia asphalt. Lots of Pigpen on here, including the first version of Run Rudolph Run.

No Spotify wrap for me, but I probably played about 2,000 hours of the Dead on Relisten.

It’s a very specific feeling of loss when a favorite restaurant suddenly closes, and doubly so when I’m left holding an unused gift card to said restaurant.

I just administered a big history test to my sixth graders. I was pretty worried about how they would do. Class average was a 92. Lowest score was an 82. I’m calling it a success.

55 years ago, the Grateful Dead’s opening act was a bunch of chimpanzees. No recording exists.

From a series of photographs depicting the Grateful Dead at Boston University's Sargent Gym. Opening for the Dead was a vaudeville chimpanzee act and the New Riders of the Purple Sage.

This was my last Jerry show. It was also the closest I ever got. I wasn’t first row, but maybe second or third and right in front of him. I swear he looked down at me and laughed.

34 years ago. This was my first show. I was pretty young and had no idea what was going on. I knew the first Garcia album and I knew Reflections, but I didn’t get any of those songs. I did get an angry Jerry storm off the stage in the middle of the second set because of sound issues.

So, there’s a fella who’s uploading a ton of solo Jerry Garcia to Live Music Archive. Is there an app that connects to and sorts recordings from LMA that has solo Jerry? I tend to use Relisten for LMA stuff and it’s not there. I sent email to Relisten folks asking them to add Jerry. Suggestions?

I’m a liberal, but I live in a rural area. For home defense, I employ a six-foot sub with spicy mustard and jalapeños.
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

I’m thrilled to change the clocks this morning. I’m used to getting up while it’s dark, but this past week of sunrise around 7:30 was definitely affecting me. Even knowing the origin was physiological, I felt the effect emotionally. Walking out the door with light at 6:30 put me in a good mood.
