Whatever some may think about Mickey, he opened doors to the sound and revealed dimensions to the space of the Grateful Dead that they may, or not, have discovered without him.
Either way, he was and is forever a member of the Grateful Dead, and he turned 80 today, and somebody needed to say something.
Atta' boy Mickey!

He had a few strong birthday shows with the GD.

I know there's a couple more, I only made it to that last one but it was a ripper...
Mickey and Billy made a Huge impression on me at my first show, at the Carrier Dome in '82;
I was going "How are they getting a place this massive to actually shake?????
Between them and the guy who could play pretty damn good guitar, that was it...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

Saw him in NJ in Planet Drum
Saw him in NJ in Planet Drum in 1999 and I think Zakir was in the band. Babtunde Olatunje showed up as a surprise guest. Grate show.
