Driving to the office this morning and While My Guitar Gently Weeps comes on the playlist. I don't know why or what triggered it but I am immediately teleported back to the Beacon Theatre when Phil and the boys played it for the first time (day after George Harrison passed). I can feel it. I can smell it. I am there. The hair stands up on my arms. I can remember the whole night - even going to Gray Papaya for hot dogs and Orange Julius right after the show. I can taste it. I am so grateful for the memories and the advantures we had. what a show. what a night!

Nice post, Bobstar. 2001 was such a great year for GD music, pretty much from start to finish. I remember reading about this show at the time, and getting CDs of it a few weeks later, and thought the WMGGW was super powerful as the meat in a Dark Star sandwich. Also, it was really good hearing them finally bust out Tears of a Clown after teasing it at so many shows.

The Q was the best post Jerry
The Q was the best post Jerry, Dead/Jam music period. How lucky were we to get that for 3+ years and then a few special shows after. I saw probably every Q show on the east coast from Virginia to Boston from 4/29/01 till my last Phil shows with the Q at the Cap. Eternally grateful. And man do I miss Phil.

The days when you could mail
The days when you could mail order for 3-4 shows, and then the text messages would go out day of from someone looking to hit the show, so in reality you'd hit 6-7, or more, of the X number of nights. And he did that 3-4 times a year? It was a good time to live in/near NYC....

Thinking back almost 25 years ago, we saw the 12/30 and 12/31/2001 shows at the Kaiser. Big fun!
Then thinking slightly further back, to September, I remember how strange (and amazing!) it was seeing Govt Mule at the Warfield on 9/20, only 9 days after 9/11. I can't even imagine what that was like for people living in/near NYC at that time!

Of note (to me). My first Phil & friends shoe, which was at Veterans Memorial Coliseum, New Haven, CT on 11/10/09.
The band was a precursor to the Q, with John Molo, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks and Rob Barraco. Previous post Jerry shoes where fun, but this band seemed to carry on a flame started by the GD.
& yes JLP, October 2000 shoes where also no slouch.

I was there on 11/30. My 4th and final P&F show of the year. Yes, only 4. I do remember the goosebumps. I also recall the upper balcony not being terribly full for some reason.
