FROM ZANE KESEY:

--I have a recycled dream!
- - - - - -
I have always sat back and played it safe with a family to care for

*this war sucks!!

i might stand up?

i might try and use my name and words to rally the next generation?
challenge the news to spread this call
make this idea grow grow or let it die trying?

to get other kids...Lennon's, Jerry's, MLK Jr. Leary's...etc...
to join me as figureheads

even get them to join me on the Furthur bus for:
a media filled
multi stop
anti war/love blitz
to...Washington??

with other busses and vehicles following
voices in unison

using the tools of our forefathers
flashing the long lost peace sign
handing out the good old peace buttons
placing flowers in gun barrels

all we are saying, is give peace a chance

I am speaking to those whose turn it is
our parents got together
made a difference

have we?
hasn't THIS time come?

- - - - - -
it is easy for you to just say "yes" to this
-reason with me instead??
logistics?
how could i possibly rationalize doing this when I have no time or money?
still...if it is possible to REALLY do something, shouldn't i actually consider it?

"You are either on the bus, or off the bus"...K.K.

* - Weir on electric.

IF there are any additions or corrections, please post. I couldn't take
a setlist last night.

LAst night wasn't a show...it was a wake, and the sermon was given by
Robert Hall Weir.

Throwing Stones: Weir sang over and over:

"Papa's gone, we are on our own!"

I have never seen such GUTS by any individual like a few thousand people
witnessed by four men...especially Weir. At the end of an unbelievable
Knockin', Weir, in anger and in pain, tossed his guitar to the ground and
bolted stage right! The last verse included, "Why is it such a damn
waste/ I believe I'm knockin' on Heaven's door."

The Club Casino set up speakers outside in the parking lot for the
ticketless...a grand gesture.

Before the set started, Weir said:

"Well, if there's anything our friend taught is, it's that
music can be used to ease us through the sad times."

Wasserman's Amazing Grace solo was indescribable, with tears streaming
down his face at its bittersweet end.

I have nothing but the deepest admiration for Bob Weir! He is a true
brother! By all rights, he could have easily been in the bay area,
but he chose to play. He needed to get it out of his system...a
true musician paying homage to family! A true soul!

At the end of Knockin', there were numerous chants of "JERRY, JERRY"
before it segued into the NFA chant...for over 15 minutes!!!! I lost
it at the end of Knockin'...I broke down...and then the NFA chant!
For a Deadhead, there was no place you'd rather be than at Hampton
Beach.

You Know Our Love Will Not Fade Away!

Papa's Gone, We Are On Our Own!
