Riding the Train after a Grateful Dead Concert in Santa Clara 6-28-2015 - Jerry Garcia's Ghost Visited us... as a Rainbow over the Concert and ACTUAL RAIN IN THE SUMMER! Very Rare!

Grateful Dead in Santa Clara, CA 

 After the concert, we all got on the Free light-rail train and rode it to Los Gatos. The Train was TOTALLY Packed... Like Japanese. We all sang along to a person's cellphone that played the song "Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult. FUN! I ended up sleeping in a field behind a 7/11. A No cost motel room. Then the next day I rode Amtrak to Martinez and then too the bus to Eureka. Using public transportation at this concert was a great blessing... No driving a car after eating Marijuana Cookies!
In general, riding the bus or Train is FUN!

Waiting for the Grateful Dead Concert and eating Costa Rican Chocolate bars that they were vending... Really Strong... I ate a quarter of a bar and barfed it up an hour later... but their cannabis lozenges were EPIC.
The fundamental engineering concept of the "Wall of Sound" is valid... yet for some unknown reason the Phase Cancelling Microphones did not become industry standard. Why not continue Owsley's research into phase cancelling microphones for public address systems. Why not move the second microphone farther away from the primary microphone. Per Bill K, they really had to eat the microphone to make the "Wall of Sound" work. If an engineer made a wireless microphone... Maybe the quality of the new design would make the singers happy...
I feel Extremely Lucky to Have Been Born at a Time When I could Go to A Concert With Jerry Garcia... What a Blessing! One time I Danced RIGHT In Front Touching The Stage at San Jose State University... But It was TOO LOUD so I Only Stayed There for a Few Minutes... He was Drenched in Sweat... You Can't See THAT form The Cheap Seats... The Big Song of the Night was "Lay Down Sally" - Quite a Difficult Song with a PERKY Rhythm... another Time The Dead Played "La Bamba" and it seemed like Only Jerry Really GOT The Rhythm... Everyone Else was Struggling to Stay on the Beat... Just like the Lyrics to the Song "Fire on the Mountain"

MORE GRATEFUL DEAD INSPIRED ART...



Poetry inspired by Dead Concerts at JFK Stadium and the Spectrum Arena 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 RICOCHET 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!

THANK YOU DR. ALBERT HOFFMAN
