Bill saved me at the 1990 NE Show. I was lost in a corner. Grout had started seeping between the tiles, oh boy!!!, where am I and what's happening, I looked up. Bill was standing there. He stopped for a second and just smiled. He nodded and was off. Back to earth, I enjoyed the rest of the show. Walked back in and saw Jerry. Jerry had a blue halo around his body. But you all know that. Got a great T-shirt before I left, 'Love is the Reason.' Took BART home, all was good! Thanks, Bill. Love you!!!

Here is a link for you to a version where the man who originally sang the lead vocal is doing it, plus he's playing the great guitar parts -- Mr. Jerry Garcia (R.I.P.). In the Dead And Company version, Micky Hart, drummer, speaks the lyrics. I want to make certain you hear a version from the day: kzitem.info/news/bejne/qWxommipm5qceo4&ab_channel=GratefulDead-Topic

I am a little young (at nearly 53) to remember Walton’s amazing career but fell in love with the game of basketball around 13 in his later pro career I always enjoyed his commentary. I also loved the way he talked of his college coach the legendary John Wooden. Separately I became a Dead fan in my late teens and early twenties. Almost a week on and I’m still so sad about the news of his passing. Guy just spoke love and putting forward your effort. And he lived it. Should have had a better NBA career but for his feet and eventually back and knees. Absolute one of a kind. Rest in Peace legend.

Thought last night was a pretty damn good show, considering how ambivalently i went (was in town to see Eggy, and thought wtf? I'm here!)...and was NOT happy with what i was seeing/hearing on KZitem. It hurt my heart to hear Bobby barking and torturing Jerry tunes and Mayer's general douchebaggery. But they were GREAT! Bobby SANG! WELL! Better than I've heard him in years. And JM played just SO sweetly. The Sphere was pretty fuckin cool!!!...for Vegas! Was a great thing to do...once. A bit of sensory overload if ya ask me...I usually prefer the lightshow on my eyelids when grooving on live music, but it was, I'd hafta say, spectacular!
