David: A couple of months ago I requested some Phil & Friends’ material to be featured on the GD Hour. Little did I know I would be getting Bobby and Mickey thrown in. Thanks.
I agree with you that the music was outstanding and probably the best live Dead material played in at least 15 years. Other than reincarnating JG in his prime, this is about the best we can hope for.
Do you think that this lineup, or something close to it, will get back together?
Finally, is there something we Deadheads can do to persuade “the powers that be” to release to you soundboard recordings.
Thanks again for all you do.
What a joke….this shirt is a discrace to the music the dead have been creating for decades, don’t bring them down by associating them with the anus that is american politics!!!!! Besides, the bomba is turning out to be a worse liar than clinton was….poor choice
