Description:

I wanted to feel that feeling again. That feeling that you can only get at a Grateful Dead show. An outdoor, summer stadium Grateful Dead show. A sun-filled afternoon on the left. So, about a year ago I started reaching out to the "Core 4" guys about getting the gang together to do it one more time, to mark the 50th. It was not easy, but as they say, nothing really good is easy. There were twists and there were turns, there were ups and there. It was not a straight path ... but it was a path. We put on Grateful Dead shows. The vibe was there, the energy was there, the smiles were there, the music was there. I remain a bit surprised to this day. After all the build-up, after all the talk, when those first notes hit, everything fell into place. A lot of people put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes, in order to bring Fare Thee Well to life. But, equally important is the element that can not be controlled, that you can not even begin to anticipate. You need the thing that makes rainbows appear when it's not raining. I am writing this at 30,000 feet, on a flight to Las Vegas, off to see a show at Brooklyn Bowl. Tonight, it's Modest Mouse. Totally different vibe, scene and music than that of our beloved Grateful Dead, but I am still searching for more of the same magic that the Soldier Field shows juiced me up with. I am addicted to it. No band has ever been given to us, but the music of the Dead. Here's to this set, helping us out of our journey.
