Sadly I Have Not Been FEELING It For About 5 years Now...... I Still Love The Guy Though.....

^yup, tired and stale for a while now......always love for phil tho 

I enjoy the family band for it's fairly tight renditions of the songs...   but Dead music requires a little virtuosity to really take off.  Jerry was such a genius at his approach to modal playing, it's a really hard pair of shoes to step in!

 He's seventy fucking seven

If he's happy playing music anywhere with anyone then yay him~

That said; fuck Shapiro

At 69 Bob is a youth.

The young U of O student who lives next door called me Ma'am today. I told she didn't need to call me that, that I am old (68) but I don't feel old. She got it.

((( I hope her escaped cat comes home )))

My approach to life as an old school Deadhead today, in 2017, is pretty simple, and several of my friends also share this:

When I want to reconnect with Jerry and the unique greatness that he brought to the music, which NOBODY else will ever equal because there is only one Jerry, it's always easily accessible for me to pull out any of my tapes or CDs, or stream any show on the Archive or on YouTube, and it's all right there. There is PLENTY of Jerry for me to enjoy, in fact almost everything Jerry played is out there to be heard. 

And so, even though there can be no other Jerry in today's various lineups, that's okay. If I want the COMMUNAL and SOCIAL experience of being at a show, then DeadCo or Phil at Terrapin or even seeing any number of Dead cover bands around the country, is great for that. And that's because the social and communal aspect of the Deadhead family is something that is also irreplaceable and is still worth tapping into whenever you want. It's still a good feeling to dance with family and hear these songs played live. 

OF COURSE it's not Jerry, but I have all the Jerry I need at instant access online or on my tapes or discs. So I'm all good with Jerry. I don't need John Mayer or Jeff Mattson or anyone else to "be Jerry." I can just enjoy being at a show with people for what it is, as a social gathering of Deadheads, and like Jerry, the Deadhead family is also something that you can't get anywhere else. 

I'm not saying that I spend a ton of money on tickets to go to a lot of these shows today, because I don't. I'm pretty choosy and thrifty with it. But, when I do feel like going, I have a great time and it doesn't bother me that it's not Jerry. 

Well said Pride!  My first show was in the 70's, and I love how it's mostly all online now (a couple of shows I'd love to hear a soundboard from, perhaps with time).  I like streaming the various incarnations live, and appreciating the different takes players have of the music...   I'm mean, Bill Frizzell playing with Phil, wow, along w/ so many others (Robert Randolph with Phil was great!).  John Mayer has gotten better as the band matures together, what one would expect.  The Jerry tribute at Red Rocks was a lot of fun too...  not the same, but as a jazz fan, it's not suppose to be!   Viva la Dead   

I Hate Being Called SIR -- It Happens alot !  Hi ROB Is The Best !

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

you two need to get a room and feel tired and stale together

Tell them they're not wanted here, Fog. 

Hey negative guys, you're not wanted here. 

Learn how to post like Fog. 

Do you two rays of sunshine have room in the love nest for slacker.

 

 

lol, fog shut the fuck up. 

I love Phil, Fog. I'm at every backyard jam that starts after school and if the wife gets home quickly enough after work. 

They're free so we show up and freeload. 

no, you shut the fuck up, lol 

Slacker thinks you should be more positive.

haha, you slimy bastard. 

but seriously, phil has been on cruise control for years now, the music has suffered immensely, and mostly b/c he plays w/ amateur musicians, bar band quality hacks (TFB). 

I'll see you in march at the Cap.. Then you can prove once and for all you are you and not Bill.

dude, i'll only be at the cap if molo and sless are there. small chance nowadays. 

and you really think i'm smiling bill? that's funny. 

Not 100% convinced however there are similarities in posting style and demeanor.  

That makes sense Jelly.

i don't mind if people call me Mr. Wizzard but I don't like just to be called Mr.

>>>Not 100% convinced however there are similarities in posting style and demeanor

 

What % convinced would you guess you are, Fog?

Let's get a number here. 

i have made some stellar risotto in my time..hmm......

Remember when Fo6 didn't believe Tulsa was real but still went to meet him?

Being Fo6 must be weird (roadkill stuff aside). 

Heat, weren't you on the old zone?

Remember when Timmy lied and said he knew Tulsa was real the whole time.?

 

50/50

^^yes, for a while, along w/ all yous other assholes:) 

I thought I remembered you over there. 

Don't mind me, zui. 

>>>>>Remember when Timmy lied and said he knew Tulsa was real the whole time.?

 

Huh?  I said he was the person he claimed to be and posted pictures of for years.  He was.  How did I lie?  

Seriously F06, what's wrong with your brain?

Nobody knew he was actually real and only a few thought he was real and shared that thought on PZ, you were not one of the few that thought he was real.

too bad the little fracker was banned. 

god damn viva. 

>>>>Nobody knew he was actually real and only a few thought he was real and shared that thought on PZ, you were not one of the few that thought he was real.

 

Bullshit.

 

Literally almost every Zoner knew or figured he was real.  Only you and a select few gomers thought he wasn't who he claimed to be and arranged your fashion show of a fast food meet up.

>>>>too bad the little fracker was banned. 

 

 

He got a 30 day timeout and is too proud to come back.

I thought he was fake. 

Fog, do you guys text? He looks for you on StormFrog.net. 

Pop in and say hi or whatever you say at the beginning of your Penthouse Forum emails. 

Fog rewriting some Zone history to fit his narrative here.

Not the first time we've seen this, is it?

need to see the old man soon. it's been awhile.

not interested in the busboy and sons but...still need to pay a visit.

>Literally almost every Zoner knew or figured he was real.  Only you and a select few gomers thought he wasn't who he claimed to be<

 

correct.  you're nuts.

From what I remember, most people on the old zone were not 

so delusional to think he wasn't real.

Fo6 didn't think Kirley was a real person either.

This here deja vu thread needs some ascii art, and maybe an ead bri.

Phil changed the trajectory of my life during the summer of 2000. For that, I am forever grateful.  

 

I didn't see Phil until 2003 Dead. Girl i was dating invited me to a show. 

You were too busy trolling him and being your typical douchy asshole self to actually say the guy was real, that would be throwing him a bone. Then when it was clear he was real you changed your tune and said who knew all along, why, because timmy is never wrong. Bullshit is right. Then that lie coaxed mark into lying about those fake ticket stubs. Now mark thinks its ok to just lie lie lie. Not sure why you keep mentioning Tulsa, secret man crush?

 

Next will be the complete truth coming and it was all an elaborate hoak and Tulsa is fake, then you will naturally go on record as knowing all along it was a hoax. hahahahahahaa, lol

Are you sure he is real? 

>>>>Then that lie coaxed mark into lying about those fake ticket stubs

 

Fake ticket stubs!

Fo6, you're wrong again.  As usual. 

Ask Tulsa.  Then come back and apologize for calling me a liar.

Thanks.

Mark, i have an announcement and would like to give you partial credit for the suggestion. Do you promise not to gloat if i share it with the group?

I love to gloat, Fog. 

No promises.

Fair enough.

 I stopped cutting my own hair buzzcut style and have been going to a few high quality hair specialists. Its not easy for me to admit but you were right about the good barber suggestion. Hopefully more here will take the advice. I thought Ned stopped cutting his own hair also?

Glad to hear that, Fog. Being a grown man is important.

You do have some quality things to contribute here, maybe if you tried to come off a bit less pompous more people would listen.

In the future if you started like a mens hair product thread i'd try not to troll it.

is your new hair dresser putting "product" in your hair?

 

Yes, gel.

i'm sure you look dashing.

now just loose the sweat pant shorts and moccasains 

I don't think those ticket stubs were fake. They looked like real stubs to me.

And I will say as a person who has never considered fashion to be particularly important, it's actually a relief in my aging years to have lost the majority of my hair, so I just keep it buzzed down. It's comfortable & cool in hot weather, but I still forget to put sun block on my head when I'm not wearing a hat.

As for style, I did get a pretty cool tan on my crown when I wore a mesh hat one hot afternoon. My head looked like a red & white quilt.

Carry on.

I have briefly met both Mr. Pyramid and Mr. Bill at various shows.

They are not the same individual.

One is taller and lean;  the other shorter and stout.

I hope that this factual statement clarifies everything.

what's this about fake ticket stubs? context?

not now, Stu

The ticket stub thing? Well, Sixy came in running his mouth about "seeing shows" one afternoon.

It didn't end well for him. 

The stubs were real, but multiple stubs per show were in the pile displayed, greatly reducing the impact and value of the picture as evidence of the presenter's  showgoing "prowess", and bringing said individual's honesty into question

Winds --

When your signature is on my paycheck,  I will consider taking advice from you.

>>i'm sure you look dashing.

thanks

and those were mesh basketball shorts, not sweats, really nice pair btw,...

 

 

the way the stubs were presented was fake. hard to tell if they were authentic, the one from florida was the obvious giveaway.

 

 

Um, you're aware that Phil played some shows in FL. in '06, right Fog? Lol

Anyway, I actually ended up reconnecting with one of my girlfriends from that era ('00-'04) after the stub pic. Those extras from the Fillmore shows were hers.

Thanks for not having much of a life, Fish. Your work led to good things. 

^like clockwork

The last Windows paint user^

Hilarious, the only thing accurate here is you admitting numerous times that you never had seen Phil, this was before the fake stub pic.

Yeah. I'm honestly not even 100% sure who Phil is. 

I was hitching rides to shows when Fog was a teenager.

I drive an old ford, too. It works.

 

relentless 24/7 troll of a 3rd tier remake of a dbmb really hits below the belt with "not much of a life"

All of you should stop caring about the ticket stubs now. Stop being silly. Just stop. This is the stupidest waste of time in Zone history. I'm reducing myself to only posting in the what are you listening to threads. Those threads are troll free and wonderful - as well as enlightening with much new music shared for everyone to check out. Fog alerted me to this thread - so I stopped by, read the thread and will leave this silly stub bullshit to the rest of you. Cheers to all!

PS - if anyone uses this as an excuse to now go over and troll the what are you listening to threads - you are a dick.

Enjoy the what are you listening threads Mr Double Standard.  Maybe you won't punch yourself in the dick in those threads.

Fo6, how do you put up the 6 signal?  Call, text, or email?

Honor your bets, Six. 

Glad to see no one worthwhile has responded to me yet.

>>>>>PS - if anyone uses this as an excuse to now go over and troll the what are you listening to threads - you are a dick.

 

When nobody does will you realize you only get trolled when you're the one being the dick?

Does it make you feel self-conscious about your status on the Zone to consider the fact that I've seen more Phil Lesh & Friends concert performances than you, Fog?

 

Hold on, let me find all my stubs and take a pic, lol

Backyard jams and bar gigs don't issue tickets. 

Fog never saw the Q?

Everyone knows Tulsa was Vort's left sock.

Those were Nedb's stubs 

this is pathetic

is the dick measuring contest next?

>>>>>this is pathetic

is the dick measuring contest next?<<<<<<

 

Maybe.  Fo6 did say something about looking for his stub.

Why all the diversion mark?

Own it

You don't even have to say "I lied"

You can wimp out and maybe give a nod to "I wasn't completely forthcoming" or whatever

A rare Goodbye Cruel Zone Except For What Are You Listening To Threads post.

You don't see those every day.

I rarely start threads on this site (and never did on the old site), but wow,  didn't expect it to end up like this...   LOL

Take a bow, you win the act like the biggest dick contest. Lifetime achievement award.

lol...congrats Sarah!

Thin Mint BOWLS For ALL !

afraid not

I'm certainly not a contender around here.

 

oh, Neddy...glad you got a good laugh.

>>>Why all the diversion mark?

 

Who's diverting? I'm relishing every glorious second of this.

In fact, I'd say the stub thing is unquestionably among my best work on the Zone. I never could have imagined I'd get this kind of mileage out of it; but you & Fog just keep coming back for more. Obviously I'm happy to oblige. 

I was lol'ing at Fog the Mutilator.

Fog doesn't like me and I rarely address him.  what ever will I do?

>>I was lol'ing at Fog the Mutilator.

ahh

we still cool?
