Halloween Yard Decor

Forums:

I saw this the other day and it made my afternoon. Some decor has gotten out of control the last few years in my area.

That's pretty cool.   Fun neighbors.

Here is what we got:

Skeleton 2024.jpg

My homeless friend has his crap on / by our front porch, and trust me, that scares the neighbors more than any spooky thing can, lol

Phil Lesh only played a headless black modulus during the year 1988 that I know of

He also wore a lot of tie dyes in 1988

The guitar the "Jerry" skeleton is playing is fairly obviously tiger, which Jerry played primarily in 1988 gigs

bobby played a LOT of guitars, but ones that stick out specifically in 88 was a white Stratocaster and a similar black one 

the drummer guy wearing a Celtics jacket may or may not further inform this possibility, or it may just be a nod to bill Walton 

 

so I am proposing, for the zone's consideration; that the Halloween display in utahjim's post is of a 1988-era Grateful Dead show, and quite possibly even of a specific place and date...

Thank you

you should get another skeleton, give it a dreadlock wig and some wook clothing, go stand him up at the end of the driveway, put an empty co2 canister at his feet and give him a big ol' balloon in one of his hands.

good thread, top pic, man they nailed that. pretty darn good.

 it looks like phil is playing the headless bass at the 87>88 NYE show, and bob and brent's tshirt color does actually match between the halloween display and the show. bob is wearing a seva shirt at the show, but the color matches. phil is in tye dye at the NYE show, but its a pretty different pattern/color scheme. the drummers are both wearing different stuff, but its possible that accuracy was disregarded for the sake of a nod to walton. NYE 87>88 was, iirc, released officially as "ticket to new years", so if there was a specific date intended, it could be NYE 87-88.
