Has it been that long ready?

Really love the folks I've met so far. The StL crew is the bomb!!

Always glad to see the Midwest folks too.

So many kind folks at RR.

Definitely a positive force in my life and thankful for that and you all.

Happy Anniversary everyone and many happy returns.

Happy Birthday FFF! Love you all!

just a joke. i have listened to tons of shows, all various dates, where usually weir claims it is billy's birthday, or the drummer's. this is mainly 70's banter i am speaking of.

Ah, but of course! Slowly I catch on...

Here's to molasses, some friends I haven't met, some interesting perspective and details, and inspiration for some great music and good images. Not to mention emoticons. It's also Puddin's birthday as a rescued cat amorphous birthdate as well, we chose the 10th. 12th will work, whatever, same as FFF.
peace

Well, 3/11 is my 2 year anniversary, so I was going to wait til then, but that's today, so here we are, two years later.
Couldn't have imagined turning out much better than it did. Really nice little forum. Happy anniversary to me, and you.

(((((((FFF)))))))

today is the anniversary of my joining the Forum ! Happy Anniversary Everyone !!!!

2 years ago tonight furthur played their first supplication with lyrics

I registered on the 14th, which was the day off on that Best Buy run... I tried searching for my first post but the search function only works up to a year ago... stops at march 12th 2012

I'm very grateful for this forum which I've met many kind friends threw - long live the FFF and may the forum carry on many, many years... even after Furthur is done


edit -- I just realized I had the search engine set to only search up to a year ago, there is a 'anytime' option and I found my first post 3/17

On 3/18/95 at the Philadelphia Spectrum during the first Set (after Ramble On Rose) and even though it was three days late, everyone was still wishing Phil a happy birthday; to which Phil responded "happy birthday to you all too." Then Bob got in there and informed us that "tonight happens to be a very special night, because it is also happens to be both drummers birthday tonight. So you should all sing Happy Birthday to Mickey and Bill!" At this point Jerry jumps in at says that "it also happens to be Bob Weir's birhtday tonight." To celebrate all of these birthdays, the band then played Just like Tom Thumbs Blues.
Almost sixteen years later (3/12/11) we find Furthur playing at Best Buys. This is the show that Burt is talking about. The whole first set is remarkable: Hell In A Bucket > Bertha > FOTD > Big River - Pride of Cucamonga - Till The Morning Comes - Here Comes the Sun > Sunshine Daydream Jam > Supplication >Sunshine Daydream > Born Cross Eyed. Though Supplication was sung, it was not planned. It was hand written onto the setlist after the set. The second set of this show was also very strong.
Speaking of birthays, Happy Second Anniversary to everyone here! U'all are the best of the best!
