elemeno Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 just got my jerry discs out the truck of the car three blocks away i might add.. and the first song of my day will be I want to say to my sisters & my brothers Keep the faith When the storm flies & the wind blows Go on at a steady pace When the battle is fought and the victories won We can all shout together, we have overcome We'll talk to the father in the sun When we make it to the promised land Chorus If we walk together little children We don't ever have to worry Through this world of trouble We've got to love one another Let us take our fellow man by the hand Try to help him to understand We can all be together For ever and ever When we make it to the promised land Our bible reads Thou shall not be afraid Of the terror by night Nor the arrow that flies by day Nor for the pestilence That walketh in the dark Nor for the destruction That waiteth in the noonday hour [chorus] This world is not our home We are only passing through Our trail is all made up Way beyond the blue Let us do the very best that we can While we're travelin' through this land We can all be together Shakin' a hand When we make it to the promised land Children When we make it to the promised land Make it to the promised land When we make it to the promised land Make it to the promised land When we make it to the promised land Make it to the promised land We can all be together, forever and ever When we make it to the promised land We can all be together, forever and ever When we make it to the promised land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisley Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 "Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil." "For me, the lame part of the Sixties was the political part, the social part. The real part was the spiritual part." "I'm shopping around for something to do that no one will like." "Nobody stopped thinking about those psychedelic experiences. Once you've been to some of those places, you think, "How can I get back there again but make it a little easier on myself?" " "Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. " "You do not merely want to be considered just the best of the best. You want to be considered the only ones who do what you do." ~ Jerry Garcia Happy Birthday Jerry. Can't imagine what the world would've been without ya.

kc Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Happy Birthday Jerry. Happy Jerry Day, y'all who didn't make it south. Sorry there was no party at PJC this year. I was going to throw one until I realized the Dead were playing Saratoga and anyone who could get across was probaly going to go. Hell, I was going to go until I found out we had booked a nice couple's wedding here same day and would have to stay. I know this dj has no Dead and I know this crowd wouldn't be into it anyway. The first thing I'm gonna do when they leave is throw in a show of course. Hopefully I won't get too down. Like most of you I'm sure, I definatley have fond memories of Jerry at shows. Seeing Jerry when he would first walk out on stage and the wave of joy that you could feel roll through which ever venue we were at was almost worth the trip alone. Sure, the shows at the end weren't like they used to be but I never saw a show were it didn't click at one point or another. Stella, Dew, SOTM, lazy river road, ... I loved those slow songs. Nobody put their heart into them like Mr. G. I loved when he'd shake his head with a grin when Bobby was goin off screaming during a song like estimated. I'd laugh my ass off. Anyway, Peace Jerry. I miss you too. time for some GRATEFUL FRIGGIN' DEAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I will be seeing phish @ Hampton... We will surely be listening to some dead on the road. We'll have a toast to Jerry before the show. maybe a few toasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guigsy Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 cowboy - the 9 days of jerry.. if i had some milk with me, i bet it woulda came out my nose. so, as it turned out, i didnt get to listen to as much jerry as i would have liked, had i been at home and not at a hot tub party, but that being said, i did get to pay tribute, and a cool part for me was a really good friend of mine having his first real mushroom *experience* with jerry wailing away on sugaree 6.11.76 being a big part of it, as he even admitted to me himself. beautiful. not that he wasnt he a fan, but he just had no idea. :: and tonight i got thinkin about 1990, and what a great year that was, the march shows in the spring, the summer shows, and the msg run in the fall, all in all a really solid year, with an abundance of really memorable and highly regarded shows... and really, of all the famous shows from that year, the earliest show in that mix, that at least i've heard about frequently is 3.22 at copps coliseum. and thats pretty fuckin cool. i mean, especially for all you assholes who were actually there. fu©k you. but i mean, thats great, to really hit that groove and get the ball rollin' in hamilton ontario, and i mean the dead were the type of band that really felt the crowd, you know, so, i think that would say alot about the type of people we have up here, or at least the type of people that were representing us at the time. its just a great scene, right. so i put the show on, and i decided that it's the 2nd set opener. that scarlet>fire just beats the sh!t out of you. brent lettin' go on fire, jerry bein jerry all over the place, thats really where the train got steamin down the track. at least i think so. it really fuckin smokes.
