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 Wraps Summer Tour 2022 Shoreline Run
The band played the second of two shows at the storied Bay Area venue long associated with the Grateful Dead.

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.

Is that their last show ever?

That’s what they’ve said but it means another permutation is coming. Mayer is allegedly moving on. There’s talk of Billy Strings to take over. We shall see. 

After Jerry died they only played once more as the Grateful Dead and that was with the SF symphony doing works of John Cage. Then there was The Other Ones, and Furthur, then they dropped ‘grateful’ and Jist went with the Dead (thus the title of this thread) then Dead & Co. it’s been 27 years since Jerry…

Peppa could be a new GOOP product for pot relief that smells like Gwyneth’s vagina!

Solstice coming next week, and I remember going to a Solstice Dead show at Shoreline with DM. Must have been '89 or '90 I think.

[Drunk Monk]

I went to get my 50% off Impossible burger from Stage Left Cafe and was told they didn't have any. This year, the cafes have one selection from several different vendors, including Trejo's Tacos, but that's only meat. Much to my delight, the full restaurant stand was tucked on stage right next to Lucky's so I got some mushroom tacos and they were okay, but small. The vendor gave me the 50% off discount even though I didn't have some special tag. I think it was the Dead Med shirt.

Several RM vets had tix. One was the former supervisor of Shoreline and he hooked up seats in the 'triangle' - a little nook where we used to place ADA overflow. I caught up with them for Tenn Jed and stayed through the end of set1. It was jubilant. US Blues was fun but premature because summertime come, but not yet gone. Twas an awkward follow up to Sunshine.

So many old deadhead friends walked up to me and it took me a sec to recognize them. We've all changed, some for the better (one friend lost a lot of weight and looked healthier than I've ever seen him), some for the worse (Dr. Dave was walking poorly and we ended up wheelchairing him to the triangle).

Solstice coming next week, and I remember going to a Solstice Dead show at Shoreline with DM. Must have been '89 or '90 I think.

Hmm, I could check my ticket stubs. For a long time, solstice/Father's Day was SNWMF. I'm relieved that isn't so anymore but I do miss that fest because it was so very sweet.

Last chapter in this run.

We had 3 LSD IPRs.

1. A father and son - the son was the dosed one. Coincidentally, he looked exactly like one of the shroom IPRs from the previous night which caused great confusion until his sober dad said they were at the Warriors game the night before. We got that one down with some medication and destimulization.

2. A 3rd wheel with a couple. The woman in the couple was sober and very preggers, maybe 8 months. The IPR had become inappropriate with her and no one felt safe. They were all friends from OR, staying in Monterey, but the IPR wasn't coming down and it was late so we had to roll. Given the situation, all agreed that was the most prudent call. 

3. An IPR comes in with this tie-dye shirt with fabulous psychedelic artwork on both sides - a super trippy spin on the Euro 72 logo and the stealy. Both myself and my deadhead partner were struck by the art. He's racing - he responds to comments, adding them into his rant, even answers quick questions, but he's racing - it's manic and in retrospect, we think he might have been clinically manic. Then we notice that the art on the shirt is signed and dated by him. He was the artist. The whole trip was condensed in his art. And it was out there. Way out there. Unfortunately it was inappropriate to take a pic of the art due to HIPPA, but man, that said it all. 

Thus closes another chapter in this thread, with one more footnote. One of my friends there, the former Shoreline supervisor, just tested positive.
