In the interest of fairness, we now present Garcia with all the sexy in the world in a pic from Lindley Meadows I don’t know if I’ve seen before.
Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To
Tag: 9/28/75 (Page 2 of 2)
Another cool shot from the legendary (and criminally unreleased) Lindley Meadows show in ’75. Garcia is yelling at someone getting too close to his hoagie; Bobby is looking at Goose, who is a giant duck, good friend of Bobby, and imaginary; Billy is taking a piss.
Who’s Johnny Casual on the left there?
Also: just a little more humidity and we would be in the land of the Full Muppet.
Um…Hodor?
Listen: if you told Garcia there was candy in the van, he would get in the van.
I won’t go on about this one: you’ve heard it before: 9/28/75 in Lindley Meadows. Hell, I’ve written about it before but something just occurred to me: much like how the year they retired was their most consistently brilliant, the BEST EVAR Help>Slip>Franklin’s is the one that doesn’t quite exist.
Find something wrong with any of the 1975 shows: I dare you.
And do you know why you can’t? It’s because the Grateful Dead’s most consistently brilliant year was the one they took off.
It was the Grateful Dead thing to do.
