UConn vs the Dead

[Waquoit]

Fixed that for you

Nothing happened without his sign-off. It's not like he's late-stage Elvis.

Here is something Roger Catlin failed to mention in his comparison, the Grateful Dead from 1980 to 1990 had more sell outs at HCC than the UConn Huskies. Let that sink in

Go see any version of Phil & Friends rather than D&C.
Just announced Westville Music Bowl 7/23/23.

I saw P&F maybe a dozen times back in the early aughts with Warren Haynes. I always found him to be distracting from the music.

FWIW, I saw a Phil & Friends where a few of the friends were members of Wilco (Philco) - and they went deep with the setlist. Loved that. I mean - I saw it streaming. Not in person.
