Anniversary / Zilch Day 27
Twas 12 years ago today
that the Grateful Dead played their final show.
All I was gonna do was post
that I'm once again not going out on the trail today.
Not ready yet. Zilch Day 27.
I did take a five minute walk to the store this morning.
All went well. No problem.
But still need to finish fully healing this tibia fracture.
Then as I was about to post
I glanced at the date and wow...
seeing that 7/9 automatically reminded me
what today is the anniversary of.
It's something I always know...
but not something I always think of.
Just one quick look at 7/9
and it popped right into my head.
12 years ago.
I was there. I know, every deadhead was there...
but I really was... in Chicago that is.
Was a very difficult ticket to get in the parking lot.
Some were lucky. I wasn't. Was tough.
Seemed like half the world was there to see the shows.
Two sold-out nights at Soldier Field.
They coulda sold-out 6 shows in 7 nights at Soldier!
Ahh, well... more Chicago '95 memories at a later date...

I hate you, go away. Just kidding. Only a momentary lapse of jealousy. Wish I was there! I saw RD in Central Park a few years ago -- 8/8/95 to be exact. Gives me shivers to think about being there on that day.
Anyway -- thanks for the setlist and hope you had a great time!
