~Star~Crash~ All & Everything

I was really close with Dick Latvala ,whom up until the time of his death was the grateful dead tape archivist ... The grateful dead used to have a series of archival released called dicks pix, now the number 16 dicks pix aka 11/8/69 was my baby , I have credits on that and I was paid for it

That is awesome. I have listened to most of the dicks picks enough times the every note is permanently burn into my brain. Must have been some epic times to be alive. I imagine you may have even known bear. I am not the jealous type. But you tickled that part of me just a little.

Thanks for sharing brother!

I was not even born until 75. Right about the same time blues for Allah was released.

Have them dump the hardwood chips to make compost from. Pine chips to put around trees and shrubs. I have a guy like that dropping his chips at my place. Someday it will be good material.

I have had my face stolen right of my head part way through a 30 minute dark star too. But I didn't hold a grudge. I went back for more.

It means the music was so damn good you were not capable of processing it.

The music, or the acid?

The music, or the acid?

They both work

 

[unclefishstick]

i got to take bears acid a couple times too...also whenever annabelle would visit dad she came back with "stuff from jerry's freezer"....some of the most mind blowing edibles and hash

In the late 1980’s Bear used to come to the shows, he was also a craftsman and jewelry maker & used to sell his rings at the shows ..this mysterious figure in a long fur coat lurking around..I was pretty poor at the time but I wish I had bought some of that stuff probably worth a lot of money today

Here’s the two legendary characters

Owlsley Stanley the 3’rd (the acid king) and of course the one and only Jerry …

Those billy and the kids shows were pretty good. I felt bad for Carlos Santana though. He only knows his few old tricks and had no idea how to keep up with a group of musicians jamming at that level.

 

[star crash]

Santana at Woodstock was one of the best acts

If you hate hippies please avert your eyes

I saw Santana play with all the Marley children in Miami. It was a fun day. Inner circle, UB40, members of steel pulse, most of the Bob Market tribe. Rita Marley did a duet with woody Harrelson. We were possibly the whitest people in the whole crowd. Those rastas all loved our fat joints of homegrown weed we brought with us.
