#gratefuldead — Public Fediverse posts

54 years ago this week, the #gratefuldead Berkeley run of August 1972 was amazing. Four shows in five nights, with the famous Veneta, OR show following two days later.

IMO, it was the big coming out party for the post-Pigpen band.

The final show of the run has been released. I compiled highlights from the other three, which I think justify my enthusiasm - and which you can download or stream.

Apparently #JohnMayer is bad at math. The #GratefulDead were around 30 years, not 60 years.
