Night 2: one (wo)man gathers what another (wo)man spills!

guess my hand wasn't steady on this shot!!! crazy!!!

after a first night birthday bonanza show hearing the dead's first two albums, set one being the self-titled grateful dead album, followed by set two with anthem of the sun (are you kidding me? NO!!!), night two was under way with set one being AOXOMOXOA, and set two being live dead.

it didn't seem possible to get two st. stephens in one night, but it happened. after bobby guested on tuesday night, it was a curious thing to know...is he going to sit in every night? nope. last night mark karan stepped in. their are imaginable other guests for the next few nights as well (3 more nights of grateful dead music at the warfield as we know it). sooooooo...

thank goodness for a night off. tomorrow night should continue the trend of playing the next two albums in the g.d. catalog, and what that means for us is good news! workingman's dead, and american beauty. OMG.

phil and friends definitely is NOT the grateful dead. but i'd be lying if i told you that hearing the music of the grateful dead played by founding member(s) of the grateful dead did not somehow bring jerry just a little closer to my heart. still and again, thank you jerry!

Word is that was it for the album recreations.
I think Phil's gonna pull a sharp left-turn & break out other surprises.
I'm not sure what, but with the Warf being Jerry's church, I'm gambling on some theme involving deep Jerry...
Enjoy tonight, folks! Wish I was there.
