Just saw this on Youtube - The Grateful Dead from 1977 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdO_CmfFKYE&feature=related)

Watch the female vocalist, I don't know who she is but she has scrummy hair :-)

link doesn't work for me.

I've been posting John Lennon's "Imagine" on facebook in honor of his birthday.

Sheeeeee-it.

I guess if he could've been 70, I can damn well be 57.

Yup that's Donna. Thanks, I'm a HUGE deadhead. Love early and late 70s Dead best. But I'm sure I can't be the the only one here who "grately" values the depths and range of the spiritual/environmental/sociological awesomeness of the Grateful Dead. Most people I meet hear "Grateful Dead" and think of drug-use and air-headed poor hippies, but my experience/perspective could not be more diametrically oppose to that. I could go on, but I won't. :p

:hifive: As devoted Beatle fan, it was an honor to carry picture cards in my wallet of all of them.

For those of us who were there, you don't have to :D I'm too young to have been around for the Donna years - and that's okay with me, because honestly, that woman's pitch was g*d-awful in just about every recording I've ever heard. Yeah, I said it.
Even catching the tail end of that carnival was a huge, formative part of my life. And no, I can't imagine that we're terribly scarce on this site. We are everywhere, after all.
