Laughter Love and Music
To Celebrate the lives of Bill, Steve And Melissa
The Bay Area’s legendary concert impresario, Bill Graham, died in a helicopter crash on October 25 1991. The Grateful Dead played a 4 night Halloween run in Oakland that week, and then announced they would play, along with many others, at a free concert in Golden Gate Park on November 3rd, as a memorial to their friend and longtime promoter.
Bill Graham wasn’t only the best at what he did, he was the only one who did things the way he did. The Grateful Dead, as we knew them, and our scene, may never have flourished if it wasn’t for Bill.
Always grateful.

From “Bill Graham’s Stairway to Heaven…”
Concord Pavilion general manager John Toffoli also recommended that Graham take a rental car home to Marin, and noticed a peculiar detail to Graham’s attire that night…
“One of the ironic things I remember was he was putting on his jacket, and he turned around to say goodbye, and he was wearing a ‘Lynyrd Skynyrd’ jacket.” In 1977, the band ‘Lynyrd Skynyrd’ endured a plane crash that killed several of its members and staff.
While it may or may not have been intentional as tribute, on 11/3/2013 Phil Lesh and Friends did a few Lynard Skynard covers…

Video clips: Furthur plays San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park – Outside Lands Festival
One long set, no encore. Furthur rocked the park, and this was also the first time ever a “Grateful Dead” band played in the park at night, with the show starting in the evening, a little after the scheduled 7:30 start, and going right up to 10:00 pm, which is the sound curfew on the permit Outside Lands Festival has in the park. Reports that lots of the crowd were not Deadheads can be evidenced by the amount of chatting overheard in these video clips.
Being as that we were just a few days into a Ramadan moon, and the location, certain songs were predicted by our experts at Deadheadland, including the complete Terrapin Suite (“From the northwest corner, or a brand new crescent moon…”), thought they did avoid the cliche of a “Standing on the Moon” (“Somewhere in San francisco…just looking up at heaven, at this crescent in the sky”).
Since the Mt. Aire debut of the complete and full Terrapin suite, it has become their “showpiece” this summer. Terrapin always was the grandest of epics, though historically only the first 3 parts have been played (“Lady With A Fan”, “Terrapin Station”, “Terrapin”), though most setlists simply refer to this as “Terrapin Station” or “Lady with a Fan”. Ratdog often did a nearly full Terrapin, including the Terrapin Flyer and At A siding movements – through in a “Terrapin Transit” in the middle, wrap it with “Terrapin Refrain” and you got the whole thing, running at 20 minutes more or less – and truly desrving the overused phrase EPIC.
Furthur performed this a few times this summer, even doing a split version – the old school “LWAF>Terrapin Stattion” at a Friday night gig at All Good Music Festival in West Virginia, and picking up at “Terrapin” and the rest at the Mann Center in Philadelphia two nights later. A musical sandwich for the weekend!
That was the one thing that was almost a given at this show in San Francisco. The show otherwise was full of surprises. No one would have called the “Cassidy” opener (I think Cassidy Law’s birthday is right around now, perhaps…?) and the big surprise was the cover of Pink Floyd’s “Time” – not new to Furthur, though not expected…
Please enjoy these clips! We will rejoin Furthur on Fall Tour part 1 beginning Sept. 16th in Eugene OR.
