back in the LIVE DEAD how did you know donna , what band was she with , you were in a band with her , back in the sixties , please share your expierience , unfortunately back in the live dead days i was stuck seeing the dead at night , and spenty most days chasing salmon and steelhead , unfortunately i didnt know Donna as you were privy too , into much later in life , i was content to watch pig and the boys play seven hour matinees , 3 hour acoustic ,that was just to get in tune , and then another solid 3 hour electric ,,, that was the early show ,,, they were kind of warmed up by the time the late show started ,,,, if you claim she was part of the seen then i bet we were very close as was the customs back then ,,, my favorite donna moment and story was the concert she laid under her husbands piano thinking she heard the music of angels , according to her to get bought back to this dimension to a very familiar sound of the greatest band she ever heard , it was until after the show she emerged she began crying so happy she was part of this band ,,, i think she called that incident 1974

She was an unnecessary mouth to feed on the road. Jerry ran a business and knew this. Dope gets expensive on the road.

yes he did nice. funny shit dude

Thank glob

yupp.... shes still not the best

Actually Donna was amazing, there seems to be this “Donna hating bandwagon” that people jump on....obviously they’ve never heard any 78 scarlet jams or any other amazing shit she has done...most people that say Donna “sucked” haven’t listened to much Dead.

middle part is called stronger than dirt - it was on dead versions from yeay such year til yeay such year and these other examples of times outside such time frame as any deadhead would already know.. yeesh! what kind of head are you??!!?!!

That section is actually from King Solomon’s Marbles from Blues for Allah. This particular phrase that they’re playing with is brought out more in the interpretation Jazz Is Dead plays on the album Blue Light Rain (ala Jimmy Herring).
