My father died Sunday morning at 0530. He’d spent 30 years in the US Army special operations units. I’d made made peace years ago. We weren’t close as adults. There is no service due to Covid. He had throat cancer. Odd, I was drawn to this song. One of favorites. Top 10. RIP dad. He wasn’t a fan to my knowledge of TGD. He preferred the Stones, The Who and oddly the Beach Boys. He served this country for a long long time. From JFK to RR. I’m just going to listen to Clarence and Jerry. God speed CSM.

Remembering my good friend yesterday that passed in June. Nearly 40 years of friendship, he will be missed dearly but our shared life/spirit experiences will live on thru us and our loved ones. Thinking of you and your Dad and the Never Forget slogan, especially what they did in not allowing you and your family to celebrate his life due to their lockdowns. Never Forget. Thank you for your service kind sir, I will never forget that it wasn't due to airborne particulate but their closure of small businesses while big boxes remained open.

"Fare you well my honey, fare you well my only true one. Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell, listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul." - - Brokedown Palace, Grateful Dead ❤ ❤ I first met Chrissy in November of 2011. My wife at the time Mizuno asked to have a dog as she needed a reason to go outside as she was battling stage 4 lung cancer. Of course I said yes and we went from shelter to shelter until Mizuno discovered the unwavering love of her newly adopted shih-tzu pup named Chrissy. ❤ Unfortunately Mizuno was only able to enjoy Chrissy's love and affection for 3 months as Mizuno passed away in February of 2012. ❤ I came home from the hospital and Chrissy and I bonded immediately. One can say that we "helped" each other get over our loss of Mizuno. We walked, hiked, drove, shopped - in fact we did everything together and our bond grew stronger than I ever imagined. She was a true angel as she comforted me. ❤ Throughout the years as time passed Chrissy was diagnosed with a heart murmur - this was a HUGE blow. My veterinarian suggested to not put too much pressure on her heart because of this condition. So we were unable to hike together, but together we continued to live a life worth living enjoying each other's company. ❤ A few years later Chrissy was diagnosed again - this time with cataracts as she became vision impaired, another HUGE blow. But she still always loved life and enjoyed walking and being with me. I was "her eyes" when we walked - I always looked out for her and made sure she didn't bump into anything. She was amazing in every way, even the way she knew her way around our home. ❤ And yet a few years later she was diagnosed again, this time with kidney disease. But if she could talk to me she kept saying, let's go Dad. Let's keep living large, together. ❤ Early this spring I noticed more and more changes in her as she began to appear a little weaker as her legs were not as supportive. She always enjoyed our drives when she would sit on my leg while hugging the open driver's side window and let the wind blow back her hair, like Bruce Springsteen sings. ❤ Last Tuesday we made a big change as we moved to Orange County. On the drive down I had Chrissy by the window and I could sense something had changed, she wasn't her usual perky self. The next day she worsened and her sickness began to overtake her. I called a veterinarian and was able to bring her by, and later that day I had to make one of the most difficult decisions of my life - but I knew I had to do it for Chrissy, not for me. And so I decided to send her off to heaven at the young age of 13 1/2. ❤ Thanksgiving was very difficult needless to say. I am forever grateful and thankful for the lovely blessings Chrissy provided me, and I hope she feels the same. I believe both Mizuno & Chrissy are together again dancing on the streets of gold. ❤❤❤ #love #grateful

[@MichaelTurnersfs]

Fun show. I don't know if I'd call it great - but fun. Clarence didn't bring magic like Branford and Hamza, but he did bring a good, old time party feel - which was cool. 1989 started off strong with the L.A. Forum shows in February and kept getting better and better, peaking, I think, with the Warlocks and Brendan Byrne shows. Last truly great Brent show, imo, was 6/16/90 at Shoreline - the Estimated was beyond, and that endless Terrapin was something else entirely. Last truly great Grateful Dead show, imo, was 12/31/90, with Hornsby, Branford and Hamza. Truly great, immortal music! Thanks so much for sharing this video! My Pay Per View blanked out in the middle of Clarence's solo. Much appreciated.

[@XanatharEye]

Totally.

[@mikebagwell9664]

Michael Turner I think '89 was an underrated year for the Dead. I think the best NE show of the summer was 7/4 in Buffalo. Jerry's vocals were not the greatest that night (that year as a matter of fact) but Bobby and Brent were on fire!!! the second set LadyWithFan-drums-space-I will take you home-All along watchtower-Morning dew was Incredible. Listen to it and tell me if you think Jerry was chanelling Jimmy H. that night in Watchtower, he got better as it went on. Not what I would call a great second set list but SOOO well done (closed w USBlues and fireworks, Not fade away was in there too I think) I agree Mike T about Brent in '89. He really came into his own and was so comfortable....

[@unclejakemusic]

Michael Turner 10/31/91 is a pretty intense show...there are extenuating circumstances, of course, but I'd put it up against most other shows from any era. I'll be sure to give your picks another listen too - always glad to hear what other people love!

[@hyperluminalreality1]

+Michael Turner You should have gone to the 25th anniversary shows with Little Feat in Eugene the next weekend. It was a MUCH better show. Better vibe with the open to the public camping lot scene. Brent sang his last West coast Brokedown Palace on 6/24/90. Kesey banged on Ron Boise's Thunder Machine during Sunday's Space. The new Further bus was in the lot. The Shoreline shows were not as good as the Cal Expo shows the week before, or the Autzen Stadium shows a week after. Just listen to Loser from 6/9/90 Cal Expo. Best Loser ever. 2nd set intensity during the first set...
