The NYPD will be out in force once again. There will be lots of uniformed officers, and lots of undercover cops who look a lot like us. They dress like us, and park unmarked cars in our parking lot (The Shakedown lot was alongside the stadium on the first base side.) The cops periodically go back to their cars in the lot. Please know your neighbors. Operation Deadhead must bring a lot of revenue into NYC, and the number of folks that I saw being hauled off 2 years ago was far too many.

I tried to warn fans as I offered raspberries, and urged them to pass this on. There were at least a half-dozen tie-dyed undercover cops that were busy bringing folks to the paddy wagon in front of the ticket office. After one of them overheard me warning folks by pointing out the undercover cops, the police moved the center of their operation to another location.

Be careful. Know your surroundings. If you spot the paddy wagon, you will see the cops in dyes with their prey. Take their pictures, and share with others. Print the pictures. Post them. Be careful, folks, and have fun!

I've got to say I've never completely understood the intense excitement at seeing this brought back. It's a good song, I always liked it when I heard the Dead play it live. But it was never a tune that sent me into orbit. The jams with it were good, but not like a Playin or Estimated jam could be.

For Saturday I see a Woody Guthrie song to celebrate his 100th birthday
Going Down The Road Feelin Bad opener

the appeal of lazy lightning is not only based upon how elusive it is, but moreso for me is the time, 7 beats per measure, like an estimated, it's different, coupled with the key changes and the extremely free form section of supplication, it's fun to hear, and even more fun to play!

BAH BAH!!!, lazy lightning! hahaha CONEY ISLAND BABY!!! taking off for brooklyn in about 30 mins, see ya'll there!
