Wow. I was gonna post something very similar to this! So instead I'll post......

When, after a long jam in which everyone goes WAY FAR OUT into their own trip, they bring they everyone back to the exact same place, everyone cheers, and you feel the "group mind" in action.

in 42 years seeing hundreds of shows, STILL can hardly wait for the next one

seeing parents bring their kids and the kids become converts....when was the last time you dug YOUR parents music?

Weir

Jerry

Brent

Pigpen

Sunshine Becker Garcia

seeing Furthur four times over a few months the only repeat was "The End" which is the most iconic profound song ever written

where else can you stand and dance for four hours without feeling fatigue

listening to Furthur soundboard Cds in the car which were available minutes after the show

what he said .sir that was excellent

the "Collective Consciousness " during Morning Dew............

the Tears flowing down my face during Comes a Time.........

The ability to breathe after Space...........into the Wheel

ahhh I miss the Grateful Dead.......I miss Jerry

When they kick into Sugar Mag to close the second set after the black peter/ballad spot and everyone starts dancing..duh.

I love the entire trip from beginning to end...but my fav is when you leave the show and the music is still playing in your head...its like you couldn't stop it even if you wanted to. All you can think about is what songs you got that night and what they are going to play tomorrow

the chance to enter sacred time, out of the profane

with you on these and hey now- we share an avatar!

some of the very reason that guy said are to hate the Grateful Dead for are actually reason to love them.....

such as drums/space. (there was something about a 20 minute drums on his list). There were people that didn't care for it but I imagine those people wern't into tripping....
