Yeah, I saw Bob last year with the Dead, and will see him in another month or two. They just put out a new compilation (see dead.net) called Weir Here...a best of of sorts. The eternal teenager (no, not Dick Clark, LOL!) has finally aged. I guess after the big 6-0, Bob decided to look his age, LOL! He's had a beard before, but never all gray like this.
BTW, jerrygarcia.com (i.e., Jerry Garcia Estate) is supposedly sitting on the mother lode archive of JGB tapes. It seems that they took a feed off of the board and recorded it at most shows just like Bear did for the Dead. The first one (as mentioned above) is a real jem. I was listening again last night (i.e., before I went to see Sack Blabbath, an Ozzy-Sabbath tribute Band, LOL It's all good! I'll be on their website shortly with an orange tie-die H-D shirt). Man, I hope they recorded that one I saw at the Capitol Theatre: Robert Hunter was amazing....it gave new insight to the world of words written by Hunter to hear him sing/play them unaccompanied on his acoustic. Jerry and John Kahn were on...I remember an inspired Dear Prudence Beatles cover that was incredible!
