Grateful Dead Oakland, CA August 5th 1979

show #5
Greydog from Santa Ana > Oakland w/ Wavy Davey Jeffreys
arrive 6am, walk across town to Lake Merritt and the ensuing 60 hours of *wonder*
night before is amazing as well, but the Scarlet>Fire, something happened right then that set the hook forever :)
this is a really sweet AUD where you can get the feel of how the new Meyer Sound Lab PA sounded
debut shows w/ Tiger, debut shows for Althea and Lost Sailor
Hamza El Din guest appearance and Ollin Arageed
1st run of shows in Oakland Aud as the new Bay Area home court
skullfucked!

  2. That's me, brother.
    Wow.
    LONG time, eh?

    Glad to see you're still on the road! I was doing a long hike at Carlsbad Beach this morning, and remembered you, Ken, "Red (Road) Bear" and thought, "I know he's still pushin' it with us." Somehow, I was able to find this blog when I got home, effortlessly.
    We'll catch up.

    But at this show, I recall the energy and impact when we got a surprising dose of FEEDBACK during the second set, and a small group of us, melting on the "dancefloor" gave eyeballs of wonderment and grinned, "McGannahan/Skjellyfetti!" And Hamza -- what a blessing. I've named my Brindle "Khartoum" after him.

    Peace, Love, and Rhythm,
    Dave
