JFK Stadium Grateful Dead 7-7-1989 We did "The Wave" during the Break... Philadelphia, PA - Here are Many Videos of That Concert

I was there... and by a wonderful twist of fate, they filmed the concert so I could enjoy the show years later...

entire Second Set... get's really interesting at 46 minutes when they go into drums/space... I always felt that all performances of drums/space are interconnected thru an inter-dimensional time warp... that they were simply dipping a ladle into a larger than reality pool of rhythm...

My Story: Art and Tales... original poetry inspired by shows at the Spectrum Arena and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia.

ceremony and ritual: a story...
OUR MINDS HAVE BEEN FUSED INTO ONE SHIMMERING
COLONIAL ANIMAL...
FLOWING IN THE
CURRENTS OF THE MUSIC...
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire !

IN THE SHADOWS,TORCHES FLICKER IN THE BREEZE.
THE ORACLE BEGINS TO SPEAK,
FEEL THE HEAT...
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire!

WE DANCE OUTSIDE OF THE TRADITIONAL
REALM OF TIME AND SPACE.
THE CROWD ERUPTS IN OUTBURSTS OF FREE-FORM MOTION
AS THE INTENSITY OF THE JAM PEAKS
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire!

MY BODY IS TRANSFORMED INTO A PINBALL AND
I RICCOCHET AROUND THE SPECTRUM
ARENA BOUNCING OFF THE FLASHING LIGHTS.
A CROWD OF DEADHEADS
SURROUND ME INTENT ON TELLING ME STUPID JOKES...
THEY JUST...know... THAT I WILL LAUGH...
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire!

God, THE 'BIG G' WALKS RIGHT UP TO ME
AND SHAKES MY HAND.
HE ANSWERS ALL THE
REALLY BIG QUESTIONS...
OF COURSE, BY THE NEXT MORNING I FORGOT THEM ALL!

NO PROBLEM ....

THEY WERE PROGRAMMED DIRECTLY INTO MY DNA...

At the JFK Show I was sitting up high in the bleachers and noticed that the dancing people looked very similar to Sea Anemones. When the music got very exciting, they would throw their arms up in the air... I could see the music as it flowed from the front to the back as people raised their arms when they heard it. Very similar to a Sea Anemone flowing in the currents of the ocean... We were flowing in the currents of the music...

I first noticed the Grateful Dead in 1968 in English class at junior high school. Our teacher had put up posters on the wall of the classroom and we wrote essays about them.

He was attempting to stimulate creative WRITING but more importantly,
creative THINKING.

One was an American flag made out of swastikas and another was a solarized/negative photo of 5 hairy men standing in front of "LITTLE BOXES" type suburban tract homes.
See the picture that changed my life:

TJ420: Posted on Facebook... It was 19 years ago this evening that I had the priveledge of seeing the Grateful Dead for the very last time. Although pretty blazed thru most of the show, I do remember as if yesterday the final encore of that show, Jerry played 'Brokedown Palace" and it was so beautiful it made me cry, but at the same time he sounded so very tired. I will always treasure those final moments,,. there have been many shows and festys since, but the ledgend still holds true..."THERE IS AND NEVER WILL BE ANYTHING, ANYTHING LIKE A GRATEFUL DEAD SHOW!"

TT: Except a DSO show!

TT:Try it before you knock it!

RS: Last time

Greg Vanderlaan While going to a performance of The Grateful Dead was wonderful... I believe that it misses the point... Something Else was happening and that Something Else can be experienced at any Dead Related Event. For Example: When I was in High School, someone went to a concert and concluded that we could build our own... and we could be in the band, run the light show... etc... And we built Forbes Mill teen club in Los Gatos, California...

Greg Vanderlaan Speaking of Dead Related Events. The Rainbow Gathering will be in Nevada or Utah first week of July. Exact location to be announced June 14th...

JL: Shoreline, it left an impression in my life. That was also my last show.

TC: you are correct Sir!

Greg Vanderlaan Speaking of Dead Related Events... What about the entire town of Arcata, CA... or Nimbin, Australia???

TJ420: Greg, likes I said and will repeat,"THERE IS AND NEVER WILL BE ANYTHING, ANYTHING! LIKE A GRATEFUL DEAD SHOW!"

Greg Vanderlaan: Jim, that is true... I'm just making due with what we have left... Sure, the band is not as interesting without Jerry but... I will go dance to local bands that have learned how to play the songs... Thankfully we have every performance stored online... I just enjoyed the JFK show that I barely remember...

AMR: I'm feeling you, thank you for sharing that

Buying Used Stuff at Thrift Stores DOES NOT CAUSE ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE Like Buying New Stuff Does. When You Buy a New Product, the Corporation Has to Replace It. They Mine Raw Materials, grow plants (like cotton) using pesticides and herbicides, Log Forests, Employ Slave Laborers in the Orient, Burn Gasoline Shipping the Plastic Crap Here From China... and on and on and on... Used Products ALREADY EXIST and so Buying Stuff at The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop (my local store) does NOT Harm the Planet. Actually, They Hire Local People to Work as Clerks and Do Delivery. We Bought ALL our Living Room Furniture there. Three Chairs and a Sofa... and Men Delivered It Upstairs in Our Home. NO WAY could I Move those Heavy Objects Up That Staircase... I Tipped those Guys $10 Each... and they were really Thankful. Yes, I Could Have Spent a Fortune at Sears or KMART but... I Prefer to Keep The Money IN MY WALLET. I Like Employing Guys That Live At The Rescue Mission. The Mission Does Good Work Here in Eureka and I've Met a LOT of Real People That They Help. I did buy new Beds at Sears. Somehow, those were just too Personal to Buy Used... also, I Do Not Buy Used Underwear... BUT, Clothes? YES! It's actually fun to find thrift stores in Super Rich Neighborhoods and Live Like the TV Show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous..." A Great Place to Shop is North Shore Lake Tahoe... Snow Bunnies often Donate Extra Stuff When the Season is Over... and There is Also DUMPSTER DIVING in College Towns at the End of the School Year... FREE STUFF!

Oddly, I Expressed These Opinions during a Group Discussion at an Ecology Class at Humboldt State University and ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS SAID I WAS WRONG... They said that Used Stuff Still Requires Ecological Damage to Exist at All... I tried to explain that the Manufacturing Damage Happened IN THE PAST and it is impossible to Change History but Buying New Stuff CAUSES Purchasing Agents at Corporations to Hire People to Create New Stuff IN THE FUTURE to Fill the Shelves At The Store. No One Grasped the Concept. But I Did Make The Other Students Think. and That's a Good Thing. It's a difficult concept... I Wish I Could Explain it in a Shorter Sentence... Maybe YOU can Re-Write the Concept Better and Post it in the Comments Section... Thanks!

Remember: There are Two Ways to Get Everything You Want. Get More or Want Less. and... You Can Get More Stuff Per Dollar At The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop... or Your Own Store... Did You Know that There is a Fashion "Thing" where Corporations PRE-RIP Clothes? Intentionally Making Them LOOK USED! Really! They Hire People to Rub Jeans over Rough Surfaces to SIMULATE Wear and Tear of Normal Use... I'm Not Making This UP! All the Pathetic Dupes are Wearing Clothes Like That! On My Own Webstore... I Offer Hats that have been "Distressed" to look like they are Old... It's an Option... I wish I could write a Mocking Slogan Poking Fun at this Fashion Trend... Then I Could Sell a Hat with That Saying... Sort of like the Question: "Can You Imagine a World Without Hypothetical Situations?" or The Page that says: "This Page Is Left Blank Intentionally." A Cosmic Haiku Slogan... I do sell a Hat that says "PRESS" so people can wear it at Protest Marches and Avoid Being Bashed on the Head By The Police... I Do Not Really Know if It REALLY Helps Avoid Police Violence... I Do Know That People Made T-Shirts Saying "Backstage Pass - Shoreline Amphitheater - Bill Graham Productions" and Used them to sneak past Security Guards... I admire the Guy that Made a Sign that Says "This is a Sign." Was That Absurdist Theater or End Times Warning?

"Life is More Complex than a Slogan on a Hat."

Friends of the Earth Action Wrote me this Email... https://foeaction.org/

The first Earth Day led to the creation of the EPA and our country’s bedrock environmental laws, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act. Now, our President is trying to erode these hard-won protections, for the sake of corporate greed.

Just in the past few weeks, Trump’s EPA weakened the Endangered Species Act and enabled more lethal pesticides linked to bee declines, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just decided NOT to categorize monarch butterflies as endangered -- despite recent counts showing these essential pollinators at near-collapse, largely due to industrial agriculture’s growing use of glyphosate (aka Monsanto’s Roundup®) and habitat destruction.

With your support, Friends of the Earth Action has been monitoring and fighting back against these attacks on bees and butterflies, which threaten our food system and our very survival. But... Then they asked for Money... and NO, I did not Give any Money BUT... You May at: https://foeaction.org/

About Us:

Founded by David Brower in 1969, Friends of the Earth Action has a more than 40-year record of not only fighting the tough battles, but winning them too. https://foeaction.org/about-us/

David Ross Brower (/ˈbraʊ.ər/; July 1, 1912 – November 5, 2000) was a prominent environmentalist and the founder of many environmental organizations, including the John Muir Institute for Environmental Studies, Friends of the Earth (1969), Earth Island Institute (1982), North Cascades Conservation Council, and Fate of the Earth Conferences. From 1952 to 1969, he served as the first Executive Director of the Sierra Club, and served on its board three times: from 1941–1953; 1983–1988; and 1995–2000. As a younger man, he was a prominent mountaineer.

One thing my Mom taught me was... Suggest things TO DO instead of telling children what NOT TO DO. Instead of saying "Don't Do That!" say "Do This!"

I guess that was Wisdom from Dr. Spock. For Example: Say "Use Bark from a Redwood Tree to prevent Weeds from Growing in the Garden." instead of saying "Stop Using RoundUP!" Provide a Solution... It's entirely possible that Gardeners do not KNOW about Redwood Bark and Wood Chips... and they are Just Spraying RoundUP on the plants because Monsanto Told Them to Do It. I wonder if we could Use Redwood Bark on Large Farms in the Central Valley...

Spread Knowledge... It's FUN!

Today I’m proud to endorse such a wide and impressive array of Democratic candidates – leaders as diverse, patriotic, and big-hearted as the America they’re running to represent:
I’m confident that, together, they’ll strengthen this country we love by restoring opportunity, repairing our alliances and standing in the world, and upholding our fundamental commitment to justice, fairness, responsibility, and the rule of law. But first, they need our votes.
