On this day in 1987.


Jul 6, 2020, 5:41 PM

IN THE DARK LP was released. The so-called “comeback album” featured “Touch of Grey,” “#### in a Bucket,” “West L.A. Fadeaway” and “Throwing Stones.”

One of my faves

Very jealous- I bet that was amazing.

Was their a particular night that sticks out from those 3? I have watched Sunday's show the most, but Saturday's setlist is amazing.

Deadhead lurker?


Jul 6, 2020, 6:52 PM

Answer me these questions three, ere the other side you'll see...



1. What is the greatest year for the Grateful Dead?

2. Brent Mydland vs. Keith Godchaux in a fight, who do you pull for and who do you put money on?

3. Was Phil or Bobby more into the ladies?

Re: Deadhead lurker?


Jul 6, 2020, 6:56 PM

1) 77
2) Brent
3) no clue

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

77 is correct, you are waaaayyy off on the others. Donna


Jul 6, 2020, 7:02 PM

would put Keith over the top by wailing at the precise moment that PITB comes back in from the jam causing Brent (and everyone else) to be so startled that Keith comes with a quick jab.

Bobby was a ladies man, but Phil slang the bass, nomsayin?

Re: 77 is correct, you are waaaayyy off on the others. Donna


Jul 6, 2020, 7:22 PM

Fair point on Keith (and spouse's backing vocals); I just always loved Brent's harmonies and "I will take you home" is one of the few songs better in studio versus live.

STILL - nothing beats a good 20 minute version of Pigpen doing "Turn on your Lovelight".

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

HEY GUYS


Jul 6, 2020, 7:37 PM

THIS GUY GETS IT!!!!!!!



Pig just couldn't stop drinking. Keith couldn't stop heroin. Brent couldn't stop toot toot. Vince, well Vince just compounded depression with alcohol and drugs. Bruce is the only one who could keep his shit together.

Side note, I was reading about Vince Sunday night and I had no idea he beat out T. Lavitz and Pete Sears for the position of Cursed Grateful Dead Keyboard player.

2024 purple level memberringofhonor-greenr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He's been here before***

No, Vince has been in the lunge before for a AMA.***

kids. I was going to attempt the secondary market but those went SKY HIGH. Wish I would have gone, but I haven't seen a dead cover band since Furthur in 2010ish.

2024 purple level memberringofhonor-greenr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We've been playing West LA Fadeaway for a couple of years


Jul 6, 2020, 5:54 PM

but our drummer, who went out on hiatus back in February to care for his elderly dad sang it, so I guess that one comes off the list until he gets back. Very fun song to play.

He would fit perfectly with our band and the stuff we do.

My dad asked me if I was some kind of druggie.
