[Dregann2190]

wow man... I wish I could do that lol. JDarks, you're the man! Wish the video quality was a little better tho, without such a lag. I can tell it'll take me a couple days to learn this one... You met Jerry, saw your vid when you went to Woodstock... what a trip! Hope to go to woodstock some day just to see it. Think I was there before tho, before they stopped holding the event. It's there n then it's gone. No worries tho, life goes on XD

There were two things my ex and I agreed on. One was the song "Althea". We used to sing it touring around the country. My first daughter was born in Seattle 3 months after Jerry died. We named her Althea. Thank you for posting this story. RIP Jerry. thanks for the memories...

thanx for the post man. real cool.... awsome story

[PatongTed]

LMAO!! Very funny story. Thanks for the good laugh. Classic!

[TallBrianFromNapa]

Loved the tale! I'm laughing trying to imagine if Jerry had to personally authorize every use of his likeness by all the Heads who sold shit to make it to the next show... probably goes a long way to explain his reply! LOL

Long live the East Coast shows and Heads!

Headin' back to the East Coast, Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through... Tangled Up In Blue!

A buck a piece. Wha'd that be worth now...

[SmelOdies]

They played at Roosevelt on 7/18/72 in '72. Never in August of that year.

[losparanoias91331]

dude... this guy was probably too stoned to remember what month it was... lol jk but seriously just enjoy the stories man... mellow out...

Keep on keepin' on...

[JDarks]

Watch "The First Show Mystery" for the answer to the riddle. :)

[SmelOdies]

With that setup, we all thought Jerry was going to set the universe in perspective for you in a single line. And maybe he did. And maybe he did.

[JDarks]

Indeed. Irony makes for a good story, no?

[gratefulgarcia]

'72 huh?! bet you were fryin' hard!

[Hanksalot]

Indeed...and if The Dead organisation EVER come after you about doing these wonderful instruction videos, just refer them to this story...

Give us a shout if you ever travel to Ireland and wanna jam, dude-

My band are playing tonight and I would wager we're the only band in Ireland that will play "Dire Wolf", "Ramblin' Rose" and

"US blues" at a gig...

Keep on Truckin in the free world!

[jtb185]

@SmelOdies  I kinda sounds like he did

[joebroomhead]
