Nice. Cant wait till they come out this way.

Have fun

I will get on board in Los Angeles, catch Shorelines, and head back for the Gorge... looks like they are starting off on a fine roll... saw the NC setlist and it just freaking blew me away!

I am so damn happy. If you or any others make it out west then give a shout and let's meet... on the PHIL side!

lyrics that are actually lyrical

St Stephen:

Saint Stephen with a rose, in and out of the garden he goes,
Country garden in the wind and the rain,
Wherever he goes the people all complain.

Stephen prospered in his time, well he may and he may decline.
Did it matter, does it now? Stephen would answer if he only knew how.
Wishing well with a golden bell, bucket hanging clear to hell,
Hell halfway twixt now and then,
Stephen fill it up and lower down and lower down again.

Lady finger, dipped in moonlight, writing "What for?" across the morning sky.
Sunlight splatters, dawn with answer, darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye.

Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow,
What a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned.
Several seasons with their treasons,
Wrap the babe in scarlet colors, call it your own.
Did he doubt or did he try? Answers aplenty in the bye and bye,
Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills,
One man gathers what another man spills.

Saint Stephen will remain, all he's lost he shall regain,
Seashore washed by the suds and foam,
Been here so long, he's got to calling it home.

Fortune comes a crawlin', calliope woman, spinnin' that curious sense of your own.
Can you answer? Yes I can. But what would be the answer to the answer man?

c. Grateful Dead

I would have never taken you for a Dead Head.

Life never ceases to amaze.

lol, yeps. Been in deep since about '79. I am a lot better now about trying to convince everyone that they should be into the Dead too though... But I can still tell you what color shirt Jerry was wearing on what day he played Dark Star in 1984 and where the song fell in the set... and why that tells us what the future would hold if we just paid close enough attention...

I know... I scare myself too when I think about it.

Bump. Because Jerry made me do it...
