An awesome Here Comes Sunshine and WRS are the standouts of a stacked 1st set. But the 2nd is something else entirely. With Playin' woven throughout, the boys take Dark Star into an unsuspecting Wharf Rat, a steamy Truckin', and mournful, yet so heady Morning Dew. gratefuldeadoftheday.com/11-21-1973

This place is funny sometimes.

"At first, passengers didn't realize the man wasn't a bus driver, McKenna said. But when he started making some wrong turns, they started asking him questions and one gave him directions to return to the scheduled route."
Man who took Hamilton bus on joy ride 'did a great job' driving, left no dings, say police | CBC News
He made several stops along the way, allowing passengers to get on and off, police say. He was then arrested.

deep new @livedeadbook.bsky.social project examining documents from the grateful dead archive. he's got a new scholarly book out in spring about "touch of grey" (!!). "live dead" was ace, too, a close read of the dead's live recordings. gratefuldocuments.substack.com/p/hauling-it... #deadfreaksunite
"Hauling items for the mob": "Independent promotion companies," payola, and "Touch of Grey" (1987)
This is a document that I examine in my forthcoming book, Touch of Grey, or, How the Grateful Dead Became Pop Stars (forthcoming spring 2026 from Duke University Press).

One of the only Grateful Dead stubs from the 80s I still have. Fun show - I was 19 years old, full of whiskey, mushrooms & optimism. Times sure change.
