#live dead

Its amazing how certain Garcia runs leave an indelible impression that never fades with the passage of time.  I'm 55 and when I listen to the runs Jerry is playing around 58:00, it brings me right back to my room to the age of 14 or 15, smoking a bowl and listening to the bootleg of this show on an LP.  Bootleg records preceded cassettes, for those of you who are a bit younger.  I have no regrets or misgivings from that period of my life.  The 70s had quite a bit going on and to simply sequester myself from the harsh reality of the world back then, this is the sort of quick fix that did the trick!  The music  of The Grateful Dead was fucking magic, still is!
