For all Dead Heads this new documentary/series is a must see. Heck, it is a must see for anyone who has not seen it, lol. I knew nothing about GD, found the show AMAZINGLY informative, really a rare insight into the cultural phenomenon I always wondered about... Brilliant filming, too. It's mesmerizing!

Next time I see Kate (yes, she's a dead head) do the "snake dance"(?) I may want to join.

Oh,one of the best is Ep. 2 - the part about the "Wall of Sound". Makes @Jaylex, @FloJet and @Drift Away systems look like transistor radios, lol. Crazy stuff.

I saw the GD in Highgate, Vt. with a 100k other people back in the late 90's. Quite a show outside, and then you leave the parking lot and enter the viewing area to watch the Band. We tried selling fresh picked raspberries from our farm out in the parking lot, but found that they were not wanting fresh fruit at a Dead show.:confused::banghead::cigar: Fanatical I guess in a good way? They share their fans with a band that started locally, Phish. I met Trey (lead guitar) at a party that one of his neighbors was having one night, before they were known nationally. I introduced myself. He thought the spelling of my last name Phinney with a PH was Phishy, so he made sure I had 4 front row seats at his show in Stowe the following weekend. Will have to watch the 3 episodes sometime.

I’ll have to check it out, thanks for the heads up.

We just finished Making a Murderer, pretty crazy. Seems a little one sided but def seems like there is enough evidence for Steven to not charge him beyond reasonable doubt. Brendan Dassey I’ll say for sure in my opinion should not be in jail. I fully believed he was coerced into a confession.

Crazy stuff. The amount of good content on Netflix is crazy. I’d pay $50 a month for the service but don’t tell them that!
