Goddammit. Garcia?
“What?”
…
“Oh, that. Piss off, man. I started a little fire. Not the end of the world.”
No, that’s a flood.
“Right. We’re all good here.”
Not really. Garcia?
“Uh-huh?”
How come the Grateful Dead never had any pyro?
“Show biz bullshit.”
Not debating that. Still, though: pyro is awesome.
“I think the Dead killed enough people without having explosives onstage, don’t you?”
Excellent point.
They had that guy sitting on stage in the Grateful Dead movie who would toss up little bits of flaming flash paper.
It was the lamest hippie attempt at pyro you could imagine.
But it was fire on stage..
I love that guy.
It’s such a “you tried, and that’s what matters” moment.
I love that he was hiding behind Keith’s piano, and Keith was probably terrified the whole time.
I used to stand backstage next to him, watching him do it.
