Anders tells a jaw-dropping story of stealing a kid's BMX bike at 4 a.m. to ride six miles to cop from a bug-collecting dealer uptown. Bill shares how Anders helped him find recovery after years of vodka mornings and loneliness.The episode dives deep into recovery philosophy, spirituality, and Anders' realization after playing Jerry Garcia's guitar at Red Rocks that fame and status will never fill the void. They reflect on the “Send Me a Friend” foundation, their bond in recovery, and the meaning of service.Their segment ends with Anders' High Sierra butterfly story — a psychedelic nightmare/vision where he stripped naked and flapped around during a String Cheese Incident set on LSD, morphine, cocaine, and Dilaudid. Anders later connected the experience to his mother's deathbed promise to return to him as a butterfly, making the tale haunting and strangely spiritual.Then Howard 'Beach' Buksbaum Returns to share about his new black girl AI group 'lux'!

Became a regular stop on the Dead's summer tour thereafter and one of the favorite places for the Deadheads given its relatively small size as compared to the stadium venues that soon became the norm for summer tours. Ironically, two days after this one-off Dead played their final 3 shows at Alpine Valley, switched to Tinley Park in 1990 and then starting in 1991 Chicago summer tour shows were confined to Soldier Field with 60,000 attendees. INTRO: Bertha Track #2 1:20 – 3:00 Garcia/Hunter – first appeared on Grateful Dead (live) aka Skull and Roses or Skullfuck (1971)Played: 401First: February 18, 1971 at Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, USALast: June 27, 1995 at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Detroit, MI SHOW No. 1: Walkin Blues Track #5 1:38 – 3:20 "Walkin' Blues" or "Walking Blues" is a blues standard written and recorded by American Delta blues musician Son House in 1930. Although unissued at the time, it was part of House's repertoire and other musicians, including Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, adapted the song and recorded their own versions. "Walkin' Blues" was not a commercial success when it was issued as a "race record" marketed to black listeners. However, the song was received with great enthusiasm by a small group of white jazz record collectors and critics. Producer John Hammond chose "Walkin' Blues" and "Preachin' Blues" as the records to be played at his 1938 From Spirituals to Swing concert, when Johnson himself could not appear (Johnson had died a few months earlier).[15] The 1961 Johnson compilation album King of the Delta Blues Singers was marketed to white enthusiasts. According to most sources, John Hammond was involved in the production and the selection of tracks. The album included the two House-style songs and a song with House-style guitar figures ("Cross Road Blues" and excluded songs in the commercial style of the late 1930s. Notable exclusions were Johnson's one commercial hit, "Terraplane Blues", and two songs which he passed on to the mainstream of blues recording, "Sweet Home Chicago" and "Dust My Broom". Dead first played it in 1966, once in 1982 and 4 times in 1985. Then, beginning in 1987 it became a standard part of Dead song lists, peaking in 1988 when it was played 23 times. Became one of Bobby's early first set blues numbers with Minglewood Blues, CC Rider and Little Red Rooster.

Fist played in 1975, a few times in 1976 and then dropped until 1982 at Ventura County Fairgrounds (day after my first show). Played 7 times that year, dropped until 1985 (10 times), then dropped until 1987 and then played regularly until the end. Great tune, Jerry often forgot the lyrics and this version is great because Bobby saves him on the lyrics when Jerry starts to go astray. Good fun considering how many times Bobby would forget the words to his songs.

It became one of his most popular and influential songs. It is based on earlier blues songs, and numerous artists later interpreted it. Recorded at Chess Records in Chicago and released in March, 1956 with You Can't Be Beat on the B side. Wolf had performed "Smokestack Lightning" in one form or another at least by the early 1930s,[1] when he was performing with Charley Patton in small Delta communities.[1] The song, described as "a hypnotic one-chord drone piece",[2] draws on earlier blues, such as Tommy Johnson's "Big Road Blues",[3] the Mississippi Sheiks' "Stop and Listen Blues",[4] and Charley Patton's "Moon Going Down".[5][6] Wolf said the song was inspired by watching trains in the night: "We used to sit out in the country and see the trains go by, watch the sparks come out of the smokestack. That was smokestack lightning." In a song review for AllMusic, Bill Janovitz described "Smokestack Lightning" as "almost like a distillation of the essence of the blues... a pleasingly primitive and raw representation of the blues, pure and chant-like. Wolf truly sounds like a man in otherwise inexpressible agony, flailing for words."[8] In 1999, the song received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award, honoring its lasting historical significance.[13]Rolling Stone magazine ranked it at number 291 in its list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time"[7] and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame included it in its list of the "500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll".[14] In 1985, the song was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in the "Classics of Blues Recordings" category[15] and, in 2009, it was selected for permanent preservation in the National Recording Registry of the U.S. Library of Congress. Janovitz also identifies "Smokestack Lightning" as a blues standard "open to varied interpretation, covered by artists ranging from the Yardbirds to Soundgarden, all stamping their personal imprint on the song".[8] Clapton identifies the Yardbirds' performances of the song as the group's most popular live number.[17] They played it almost every show, and sometimes it could last up to 30 minutes. Dead often played it out of Truckin, would also play the blues tune Spoonful out of Truckin. Played: 63 timesFirst: November 19, 1966 at Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA, USALast: October 18, 1994 at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, USA SHOW No. 4: Space Track #17 7:45 – 9:20 On November 28, 1973, Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia and drummer Mickey Hart staged a performance at San Francisco's Palace Of Fine Arts. At the time, Hart – whose 80th birthday is today – was on a sabbatical from the Dead, having last performed in public with Garcia and the band in February 1971. Hart would rejoin the Dead for good in October 1974.A poster promoting the concert shows a clean-shaven Garcia dressed in black beside an equally freshly shaven Hart wearing all white. At the bottom of the advertisement was printed “An Experiment in Quadrophonic Sound.”Hart recalled his experience at the duo concert with Garcia in 1973 that was not only a Seastones precursor but also planted the seeds for the band's mind-bending “Space” jams.“There were so many exciting that we've done together. Adventurous musical things. He was also into adventure and creating new spaces, so we had that in common. We got together many times out of the ring – where he first discovered synthesizers, being able to synthesize his guitar, which led to MIDI.“The first concert we did was in 1973. It was just a duo. He got an Arp [Odyssey], an electric instrument, a keyboard, and he plugged his guitar into it and that was the first time I had heard his guitar I had heard his guitar running through sophisticated synthesizers.“I just thought of that concert, which kind of was the beginning of ‘Space' – ‘Drums' and ‘Space' actually – it might have been the very beginning of it. And I think of that on his birthday, the seminal things we did together.” After the November 28, 1973 concert, the Grateful Dead began to occasionally incorporate elements of a “Space” jam into their shows. In January 1978, Dead shows almost always included a nightly “Drums” jam paired with a freeform “Space” jam, consistently showing up mid-second set throughout the rest of their career.

He entitled it “Broke-Down Palace,” and now that it exists as a piece of writing, it seems to have always existed. It was composed on the same afternoon as “Ripple” and “To Lay Me Down,” with the aid of a half bottle of retsina.Its first performance was on August 18, 1970, at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, and became a staple of the live repertoire. After the 1975 hiatus, “Brokedown Palace” appeared almost exclusively as the closing song of the show, as an encore. It had the effect of sending us out of the show on a gentle pillow of sound, the band bidding us “Fare you well, fare you well…”Garcia/HunterReleased on American Beauty (Nov. 1970) Played: 219 timesFirst: August 18, 1970 at Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, USALast: June 25, 1995 at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. .Produced by PodConx Deadhead Cannabis Show - https://podconx.com/podcasts/deadhead-cannabis-showLarry Mishkin - https://podconx.com/guests/larry-mishkinRob Hunt - https://podconx.com/guests/rob-huntJay Blakesberg - https://podconx.com/guests/jay-blakesbergSound Designed by Jamie Humiston - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-humiston-91718b1b3/Recorded on Squadcast

Grateful DeadJune 24, 1983Dane County ColiseumMadison, WIGrateful Dead Live at Dane County Coliseum on 1983-06-24 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive My first time “on tour”. Went with my good buddy H to this show, then on to St. Paul and then to Chicago for the final two shows of the tour at Poplar Creek Theater (RIP). We were joined by a strong Ann Arbor based collection of friends and fellow Deadheads including Big Steve, not that Big Steve, our Big Steve from Ann Arbor by way of Hyde Park in Chicago and now a Boston guy, Andy Gaudin of blessed memory, Tommy Marks (younger brother of the Weasel) and many other “locals” we knew in each city. This show was a Friday night and many of us were driving to Madison from the Chicago area which meant battling heavy traffic getting out of Chicago, battling heavy traffic driving up to Wisconsin with everyone else from Chicago headed to Wisconsin summer homes for the weekend, battling traffic driving through Milwaukee and making our way through Madison upon arrival without knowing exactly where we were going. And by the way, no Waze to fall back on and no cell phone to call for directions. Luckily, we were riding with Big Steve, perhaps one of the finest long distance drivers I have ever known. When we hit Madison, we had to find our buddy Dr. Z (back then just known as Z because the doctorate thing happened latter ). We arrive at his place to learn that he was in a bike accident, is all banged up, needed some quick med treatment and a bite to eat and then back to his place for whatever reason I do not remember. The clock is ticking closer and closer to showtime and Z is assuring us we have nothing but time. This was to be my fifth show ever and I still was kind of just along for the ride with the more experienced veterans. H was like me, new to the game but always looking for a chance to go on a party themed roadtrip. But even I was starting to get nervous. After what seemed line forever, we made our way to the show, dropped, there was no line to get in, showed our tickets and walked in to a half empty arena with the floor not even half filled. And just as we walked in, the lights go out, the Dead the stage and this happened: INTRO: Shakedown Street Track #1 0:00 – 1:36 SHOW No. 1: Deal Track #10 7:30 – 9:05 SHOW No. 2: Help On The Way Track #12 0:00 – 1:41 SHOW No. 3: Lost Sailor > St. of Circumstance Track #15 7:15 – end INTO Track #16 0:00 – 0:57 SHOW No. 4: Truckin Track #18 6:40 – 8:20 OUTRO: Morning Dew Track #19 10:58 – 13:33 (I know, it's a very long clip, but it is an amazing Garcia solo supported by Brent. Can't cut it!) The Around and Around > Johnny B. Goode >Don't Ease Me In that followed was almost perfunctory. The Dew and that jam was a true closer. Stumbled out, bounced around town, wound up at a different buddy's house, played soccer out on the street until 3 or 4 a.m., tried to sleep (not happening), Z rousted us out of bed the next morning for breakfast at the legendary Cleveland Diner and then back in the car for the drive to the Twin Cities and a show that night (good friend Andy Greenberg's first show), followed by a day off to drive back to Chicago, pop up birthday Sunday night for H at his parents' house, and then have the two night run at Poplar Creek. Four great shows in five nights. Too much fun. .Produced by PodConx Deadhead Cannabis Show - https://podconx.com/podcasts/deadhead-cannabis-showLarry Mishkin - https://podconx.com/guests/larry-mishkinRob Hunt - https://podconx.com/guests/rob-huntJay Blakesberg - https://podconx.com/guests/jay-blakesbergSound Designed by Jamie Humiston - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-humiston-91718b1b3/Recorded on Squadcast
