The front said Grateful Dead and the back kind of puzzled me. It said Scarlet Fire. I wasn't familiar with the dead at the time but thought it was a really cool shirt and I wore it all the time. Until there was no collar and all the hems were gone and was riddled with holes and faded. Eventually I stopped wearing it but kept it in a box for years.
Fast forward 15 years and I'm working the harvest at a weed farm in CA and one of the owners shows up for the full moon in October and doses pretty much everyone on the farm. I was one of the last to get dosed and didn't realize what was happening. I walked up to where everyone was gathered around the campfire and my buddy tells me to hold out my hand. I was like, ok, and held it out palm up like to receive something. Didn't realize it was supposed to be a back of the hand liquid drop thing... so the owner smiled and gave me a puddle that was enough to slosh out of my hand a little on it's way to my mouth.
Fuck.
Anyway, spare you the tripping balls details.... but someone blasted a Grateful Dead set over and over all night long from his pickup truck stereo. It rang loud and clear through those Sierra Nevada hilltops and I could hear it perfectly from anywhere I walked through the woods that night. It was incredible. I had never heard anything like it. Probably the 3 or 4th go round of this set on repeat, I'm starting to get some lyrics. Scarlet Begonias is playing. What a great song! But wait... it doesn't end, but kind of... just continues into another song... (didn't know about the jam at this point). This song is Fire on the Mountain. Another great song! As I'm sitting there enjoying the tunes and tripping balls and watching the full moon, it hits me.
Scarlet Fire...
Scarlet Begonias into Fire on the Mountain...
Holy shit! That's what the tshirt is referring to!
Felt like a weird personal prophecy coming true or some shit.
I love the stories in their music. So good.
Thanks for starting a Dead thread!

Great story man.. I’ve got many a good memory from meeting dead head’s just out and about, because we recognize each other. Or, shows, lot parties ha
It’s not over. It’s Phil!s 80th birthday and he’s out playing celebrating the music. It’s also their 50year anniversary I think? John Mayer is killing it in Dead & Company

I was probably at this show 
Also met Blue Lotus's guitarist a few times, he was childhood friends with an old friend of mine. They were even in a band together for a bit I believe.
Wish Blacksheep still happened, I also knew the people who threw it. Some old hippie friends of my family.

They got no love for San Fran this touring season. I might get some DSO tickets to hold me over until I can see them again.
Is Dark Star the best Grateful Dead Cover band? I've seen quite a few that were amazing and I think they are the best. I have even heard a few people say that they are better than the Dead.
Does anyone have a favorite Grateful Dead Cover Band?

Uncle John’s band has been playing together since the 80’s and I really like them.
Never seen dark star but I believe it. Keep an eye out for them

Yeah, DSO is amazing. Definitely check them out!!! It's as close as you can get to an old school Dead show.

Just found this thread, bring back the dead! 
Is there communities of dead heads around the world people know of? It would be so cool to be able to organize 'bush doof' style events with the dead as the house band Like minded people bring good vibes
