25 Years Ago Today: Final Grateful Dead Concert 7-9-1995

On this day, 25 years ago, the Grateful Dead played their final concert at Soldier Field, Chicago. A month later, Jerry Garcia would be gone from the stage forever, as the other members struggled to keep the music flowing thru the Space & Drums portion of the band’s long history.

Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead played their final show 25 years ago today, 7/9/95, but The Music Never Stopped.

The Music Never Stopped, as Bobby, Phil, Billy, Mickey, and all of their amazingly improvisational friends, have kept moving the Dead’s music moving Further on, Truckin’ through the Lilly Fields on the Bus to never-ever land.

I still miss Jerry’s soulful plucks and crackly croons, and watching the last show can be hard. Still. 25 years later. But if you’re so inclined, YouTube of the show is below.

Listen/Watch to the whole show on YouTube:

Believe it or not, I’ve been spending some time in the studio during this fucking pandemic. More on that later. But…Here’s a quick video clip from a recent jam session that I decided I’d use to try and sharpen my video? making skills.
Yeah…they still need some sharpening ?~jg

B-Bye Loser

I made a video to sum up every emotion I’m feeling about the end of the Trump era. It was really good. I felt great about myself. It was an amazing cinematic work, and I was sure it would propel me to instant Tik Tok fame. Then I started editing out everything that could cause FBI surveillance or get me put on the no-fly list or banned from social networks.

These are the frames I was left with. ~jg

Fuck you, Mango Mussolini!

43 hours to go…

43 hours to go…
Literally holding my breath…and then I remember I have to BREATHE if I want to actually LIVE in post-Trumpian times.

JJ Grey & Mofro On World Cafe : World Cafe : NPR

JJ Grey lives in Northern Florida on what used to be his family’s pecan farm — a perfect place for a band like Mofro to practice in solitude. It’s in the Northern Florida/Georgia sweet spot for soul singers, another way it’s ideal for Grey.

He and Mofro have made a name for themselves on the festival and jam-band circuit, and have become a tight band over time. Here, they join us from World Cafe Live to play songs from Ol’ Glory.
