• This forum allows conversation on non-controversial topics, therefore no politics or religion. "The Campfire" is an area meant for casual, civil discussions. Deliberate anti-social activity including personal insults, profanity, pornography, racism, threats and purposely inflammatory posts may result in suspension of forum access or possibly a permanent ban from GSR.

    The words insight and incite are pronounced the same. But one of them will get you banned and the other will not. Before hitting the Submit button be certain which of the two better describes your post.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

RIP Bob Weir

I first saw him (and the rest of the band) in February '73 at the Nassau Coliseum. Pigpen had just died.
But I really consider my first Dead show to be December '71 at the Felt Forum. It was simulcast on the radio, and I was taping it uninterrupted, including the interminable time between songs, Scott Muni interviews with Jerry, Bob and Bill Graham (Bill saw a guy grab two tickets off a couple of girls out front and ran after and tackled him in the street) and the 90 minute opening set by NRPS. All told, it was 6 very memorable hours on four cassettes. But I learned a couple of things in February of 1973:

1. The Grateful Dead and 15,000 people at a sports arena were not nearly as exciting as Hot Tuna playing for 3,000 folks. "I'm gonna sing you, a hundred verses in ragtime..." 90 would have been more than enough.

2. Jerry Garcia was not the 'front man,' as I had always assumed. Robert "Ace" Weir was.
