Easy n Dirty Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 T'was the night before a Dead show and all through the place, All the heads were dosed- just trippin' to space. Their joints were all rolled with precision and care, With hopes that St. Stephen soon would be there. The freaks were all nestled all stoned in their beds, While visions of Johanna danced in their heads. With me in my poncho and her in my hand, Just dying to hear an "Uncle John's Band." When out from the stage there rose such a clatter, I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter. O'way to the stadium I flew with my stash. I kicked down the gate - it fell with a crash. The light from the orb hanging so high, Blinding me like I was born crossed eyed. And what to my red glossy eye should appear, A shadowed figure, could it be Mr. Weir? No, too big to be Bob, too short to be Phil. Could it be Mickey,Brent, or perhaps even Bill? He started to sing and the sound from his lips, Assured me at once that he was Captain Trips. His eyes how they twinkled, his dimples how merry, I exclaimed in excitement, "Oh Wow! It's Jerry!" I couldn't believe it just Jerry and Me, "Play something," I said "Play Sugaree". The Fat Man jammed - he was on a roll, With his sweet songs he rocked my soul. Jerry spoke once and his message was plain, "Gotta go now," he said "It looks like rain." But I heard him exclaim as he walked out of sight, "Good Lovin' to all and I Bid You Goodnight." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yukon Cornelius Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 was the day of the Dead show and all through the Valley, was a need for a miracle... no time to dilly-dally So after a few pinchies, through the lot I crept wary a finger in the air I've got to see Jerry "Doses," "kind," "shrooms" do I hear a hottie selling braclets but no tickets I fear A man magically appears out of place he sure seems “face value,” he says better than my dreams! I drop a few hits and down the hill I fly The fat man rocks the ultimate high!!! Jack Straw starts the show and it's hot! Sugaree is next, pass me that pot Bobby does his country tunes and Garcia sings Roses Phil bolts out Tom Thumb Blues Man these are good doses! The set ends with Let it Grow then the Deal I can finally rest my bones but my mind races with zeal! China Cat erupts the lights are insane the crowd is fevered as Rider rolls like a train I wish I were a headlight... in the cool Colorado rain Eyes and Terrapin are next what are they doing to my brain?! Now things are so twisted Jerry’s wearing a crown Drums and Space are wicked a total melt down Out comes the Dew I’m out of my mind this is incredible Watchtower is kind The wind begins to hallor... what could be next had? Holy moly, it's Goin’ Down the Road Feelin’ Bad! I’ve nearly left my body when Lovelight begins we’re all screaming for more as Quinn finally kicks in! “You’ve not seen nothin’” Jerry you're so right One helluva show thank you all, good night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
