The Dead

[Drunk Monk]

Got to E lot earlier and everything was on schedule. Hooked up with my JNK partner for the evening on Shakedown st. I knew we could find each other as we're both veteran deadheads and the force is strong in us. It had to be for this night.

An old friend gifted me a lovely steal your face tie dye from his booth on Shakedown. Also got some nice stickers - a dancing bear, a dead & co one, and a blues for Allah which I think I'm going to put on my phone case. Been needing that. Someone also gave me a Dire Wolf pin which was added to the lid.

I gave a little teaching moment talk on N2O at the meeting mentioning watching for face v. hand scarring. That proved timely as we had a perfect example of someone who face planted (at home she claimed but the road rash on her face was too fresh for that especially adding in traffic to get in there). Her hands were clean. 

Also pushed the cannabis peppercorn theory. We had a patient - a young lady Ox4 who had taken one vape hit but was getting too much 2nd hand and came in upset and red-eyed. The doc authorized me to give her some Peppa. She felt it worked because her vision cleared up. Later she asked for more. She ate well over a dozen peppercorns saying that they gave her some relief. RM was amused by the experiment and the first test was deemed a success. There was some effort to give me a new nickname (as if I don't have enough already) - several pepper related names were put forth. I was hoping for 'the Duchess' cook' ala Alice in Wonderland but no one acknowledged my literary reference at all.

Dead & Company’s concert Tuesday wrapped a two-night run at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. The band delivered two solid sets at the storied Bay Area venue long associated with the Grateful Dead, including a rarely played Bob Dylan cover in the first set and the tried and true pairing of “Estimated Prophet” with “Eyes Of the World” in set two.
[/url]Wearing sunglasses to protect against an eye-level setting sun, guitarists Bob Weir and John Mayer, drummers Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, keyboardist Jeff Chimenti and bassist Oteil Burbridgeplayfully eased into the start of the first set before properly launching into Weir’s “Cassidy.” The band followed with “Bird Song,” as Weir and Mayer traded verses and joined the others in a lengthy jam.
The sun dipped below the back of the Shoreline lawn while Mayer led the group on “Dire Wolf” featuring Chimenti’s nimble piano playing. Weir then helmed Bob Dylan’s “When I Paint My Masterpiece.” The rarely played cover was followed by a slow-burning “Tennessee Jed.” No longer needing sunglasses, Mayer then took lead on “Here Comes Sunshine,” and steered a jam that took a few swirling turns before settling back into the song’s conclusion. The first set was capped with a romp through “U.S. Blues.”  of high quality decals, car badges, metal stickers and more. [b]Swing by Grateful Fred[/b] to check out all their high-end heady products for the low-key deadhead.

MORE SKINNY

Dead & Co. kicked off their final set at Shoreline this summer with the traditional “Cold Rain And Snow.” The vintage coupling of “Estimated Prophet” and “Eyes Of The World” provided back-to-back pathways into improvisation. The “Estimated” jam incorporated jazzy elements as Chimenti and Burbridge worked around Mayer and Weir while the drummers did their best to lay back. “Eyes” was another Burbridge showcase as his low end provided the tonal foundation for the exploratory jam it produced. 
After “Estimated/Eyes” it was time to visit “Terrapin Station.” The group progressed across the song’s varied sections, riding the multi-part suite into the second set’s free-form segment. Kreutzmann, Hart and Burbridge were left on stage for the evening’s “Drums” sequence, digging into pulsating rhythms and pounding out aggressive beats. Hart’s cryptic droning from “The Beam” bridged the transition into “Space” as Mayer, Chimenti and Weir returned to get in on the mind-bending improvisation.
“The Wheel” initiated the back half of the second set in a joyous fashion. Next came “Standing On The Moon,” which saw Bobby playing slide guitar on the late-career Dead favorite. The Shoreline audience then helped close out the set with a participatory “Not Fade Away.” The crowd continued chanting the “NFA” chorus through the encore break. Dead & Co. concluded Tuesday’s concert with the heartfelt ballad “Brokedown Palace.” 
Dead & Company heads to Boulder, Colorado to play two shows at Folsom Field starting Friday, June 17. Livestreams are available via nugs.net.
