    I told althea I was feeling lost, lacking in some direction.
    Althea told me upon scrutiny that my back might need protection.
    I told althea that treachery was tearing me limb from limb.
    Althea told me better cool down boy, settle back, easy jim.

    You may be saturdays child, all alone, moving with a tinge of grace.
    You may be a clown in the burying ground, or just another pretty face.
    You may meet the fate on ophelia, sleeping and penchence to dream.
    Honest to the point of recklessness, self-centered in the extreme.

    Aint nobody messing with you, but you, your friends are getting most concerned.
    Loose with the truth, baby, its your fire, but baby dont get burned.
    When the smoke has cleared, she said, thats what she said to me.
    Gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy.

    There are things you can replace, and others you cannot.
    The time has come to weigh those things.
    This space is getting hot, you know this space is getting hot.

    I told althea Im a roving son, and I was born to be a bachelor.
    Althea told me, okay, thats fine, so now Im trying to catch her.
    Cant talk to you without talking to me, were guilty of the same old thing.
    Been talking alot about less and less and forgetting the love we bring.

    Gotta get to twirling now
    Thanks guys
    And the music never stopped

    Thing is, I lived by Jerry's tune for decades, and can hear a snippet of bygone days and recall every single nuance like it was happening all over again right this moment....

    Shake it, shake it Sugaree, just don't tell 'em that you know me

    one of my personal favs :

    if my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
    and my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
    would you hear my voice come thru the music
    would you hold it near as it were your own?

    it's a hand me down ... the thoughts are broken
    perhaps they're better left unsung
    i don't know ... don't really care
    let there be songs to fill the air

    ripple in still water
    when there is no pebble tossed
    nor wind to blow
    reach out your hand if your cup be empty
    if your cup is full may it be again
    let it be known there is a fountain
    that was not made by the hands of men

    there is a road ... no simple highway
    between the dawn and the dark of night
    and if you go .. no one may follow
    that path is for your steps alone

    ripple in still water
    when there is no pebble tossed
    nor wind to blow
    you who choose to lead must follow
    but if you fall you fall alone
    if you should stand then who's to guide you?
    if I knew the way I would take you home

    la da dee dee da...la dee de da da
    la dee dee dah la da dee de da
    la dee dee da la dee de dah dah
    la dee dee dahhhhh lahhh daaahh dee dee dahhh


    still dancing ... thank you Jerry, RIP :)
    peace,
    jo

    Saw the Mickey Hart Band last night. Great show, he always surrounds himself with strong musicians. Dave Schools (of Widespread Panic) on Bass, plus a killer guitar player and various other strong musicians/vocalists. Much more of a rock show than his planet drum shows, which are more on straight drumming.

    Time Never Ends might have been the best jam of the night, but the highlight was Bill Walton coming out and drumming on Fire on the Mountain and Not Fade Away. I've seen Bill at every dead related show that comes through San Diego, but this is the first time I've seen him get up on stage.

    Setlist:

    Set 1
    Aiko Aiko
    Let There Be Light
    Starlight
    The Other One
    Peaceful Time
    Time Never Ends

    Set 2
    Jam
    Slow Jo Rain
    Cut The Deck
    Brokedown Palace
    Supersonic (no, not PJ's supersonic)
    Who Stole the Show?
    Fire on the Mountain

    Encore: Not Fade Away

    If you get a chance, catch this tour. Good stuff.

    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Was it 2009 or 2010 he toured with Steve Kimock in his band? Those were some exceptional shows, only heard them by the magic of taping as I'm in the UK. Do wish Mickey, Bill, Phil and Bob would reunite again, definitely travel over next time.
    The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits

    I think that was 2008 that he played w/ Kimock. Didn't catch that tour though. I did see him in late 2008 w/ his Global Drum Project, but that was all percussion.

    Here's some vids of Mondays show that got posted (not mine):

    Fire On the Mountain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr55BYGeHUw
    Not Fade Away: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5R3yp9wpkI

    I'm on the fence about another full reunion. The last one seemed like such a cash grab.

    Furthur west coast tour announced! First time this incarnation is coming to San Diego. Phil hasn't been down here for a long time, I'm thinking the last time was the initial Dead reunion tour in '03.

    I missed this post before.

    That must have been something -- Bill Walton on drums (how'd he do?)
