It’s hard for me to recall what stopped me from going to The Grateful Dead show here in the SLC back in the early 90’s. Probably a girl, or perhaps my own reluctance at that time to see a concert solo.<\/p>\n

Sadly, it was one of the last shows Jerry did before his death. Nowadays things are different though, and with Bob Weir and Ratdog<\/a> being the headliner for my first Red Butte concert of the summer, I was more than ready to get my jam on.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Deadheads today are as loyal to Bob Weir as they have been since the 1960’s. Dirtbag hippies flooded every conceivable inch of Red Butte. I had a group of old guys sit by me, that had been seeing the Grateful Dead since the 1970’s. I found myself included in a night of revelry, at least as rambunctious that one is when your discussions cover topics such as ” two years to retirement….”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Two long sets were on tap for the evening, from a twenty minute “Shakedown Street” opener, to my favorite songs ” looks like rain”, ” Maggie’s farm” and “throwing stones” that truly brought out the essential Grateful Dead persona.<\/p>\n

Jam On Bobbie. Jam On.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
