Grateful Dead fans, check out the "New Yorker"

Appearing in the November 26th. issue of the New Yorker... a very interesting and lengthy article about the Dead and their various sound people, archivists, spin off bands, etc. The ins and outs of Bob and Betty, Latvala, Lemieux, taping, etc. Also a look at the archives themselves as well as mystery tapes rotting in storage. This would appeal to both Dead Heads and people with only a slight interest in the band's music, including just us audiophiles. Check it out, especially if you have fond memories of their good days.

I did 126 shows. I'm okay. My wife did 120. She's a nurse practitioner. We made it out alive. It wasn't hard to break 100 if you sold peanut butter sandwiches. I came home and earned a bachelors in marketing. That was a long time ago. My youngest of four is 19 years old. I wouldn't change a thing.

Yes...Many years on the bus...1983-1995... 125 shows w/Jerry..I refuse to grow up....The Dead have illuminated many lights for me along my path of life and I am most "GRATEFUL" for that aspect and truly love the music and the offsprings that have come along..The GD showed me to appreciate music and all of it delights regardless of it genre and to be open and passionate for what it has to offer to my soul....Getting up in age now, the music has conditioned me to not take the good vibe for granted and listen carefully to its sweet sound and find nothing more to do but smile smile smile :) :) :)

Nowadays I stay at home and watch the TRI Studios website or listen to the Grateful Dead hour. I never really liked camping to begin with. I'll request a copy from my local public library. Thanks for the scoop!
