wish all proceeds from the 50th “reunion” would go to worthy causes and community builders like KPFA.
Otherwise, what’s the point of unleashing the powerful economic engine that the Dead have become?
Hey guys – I suppose you already have this year’s lineup scheduled. But for next year, I’d love to hear the ’72 Academy of Music Slow Blues by Bo Diddley and Jerry’s Sittin’ On Top Of The World if you can drag it out of the vault. Even after ten + years, I’m still pissed at GDP that they weren’t added to the official DP30 release. Thanks.
