Smokin weed in the White House is cool. I'll best It was not the first time!!!?? Thanks for the story Steve

Thanks Big Steve!

Funny how Steve mentions the oak trees first time tripping I was in the back of this convenience store in a patch of oak trees all I can remember was looking up at the branches and seeing the leaves glowing through the sunlight I wasn't a deadhead until about 6 months later the summer of 86 thank you lord for keeping the music going

Damn Big Steve you are such a awesome person thank you sooo much

Those are the kind of nights of luck you think you must have had OB1 in the car with you to tell the Storm Troopers " These are not the droids we're looking for. They can go about their business.. Move along.." ha

Steve, you're a Working Class Hero, Salt of the Earth person, brother. I love hearing your life story.

Crazy! So that's why the Alligator Strat has a weird pickguard! I always wondered about that. We love you and your stories Big Steve!

But they never played "One More Saturday Night" wah! 😢

Dylan w JGB would have been a better collaboration imho …

Steve Parish is a Mensch and I wish him health and happiness eternally.

Love you Mr. Steven! You are the man! Thank you for sharing your stories! I was at the Eugene Oregon show in 1987! Great performance shared by all! WOOWOOO~!!!

Great recollection!God bless you Steve!

What about the 86’ Dead/Dylan/Petty tour? Didn’t you have some interaction with Dylan then? The last stop was RFK for two shows and it was HOT. It was after RFK that Jerry had the diabetic coma.

“Tragedy narrowly averted” 😂

Saw the 87 JFK show, the Dead were great alone, with Zim, not so much

It was probably Yoko who set you up. Just kidding.

Jerry Garcia Band Shows at The Bottom Line, New York, NY 1974/7/1 - Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders - The Bottom Line, New York, NY 1974/7/2 - Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders - The Bottom Line, New York, NY 1974/7/3 - Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders - The Bottom Line, New York, NY 1974/11/5 - Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders - The Bottom Line, New York, NY 1974/11/6 - Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders - The Bottom Line, New York, NY 1974/11/7 - Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders - The Bottom Line, New York, NY 1975/4/8 - Legion of Mary - The Bottom Line, New York, NY 1975/4/9 - Legion of Mary - The Bottom Line, New York, NY 1975/4/10 - Legion of Mary - The Bottom Line, New York, NY

Does any band have such a close friend that tells stories about that band on radio and RUclips, not to mention a friend who relates the stories with great intelligence and soul? Sure I'd like someone like Steve telling stories about The Byrds, but The Grateful Dead are very unusual musically and otherwise. Their connections are vast and Steve's era is right in there.

Amazing stories here, and really liked the energy you put out there as you told them.

dyalan and the dead was a bad mix. dylan did not fit in

Thanks, Steve, as always. The Grateful Dead, and all that surrounded them, was, and still is a major part of my life (320 GD shows between 1978 and 1995 plus countlessJGB, Bobby, Phil, etc side shows). Your stories provide insights and perspectives that are unknown to those of us on the outside, and are fascinating to hear. I had the pleasure of meeting you once, years ago, and it stands as one of the most thrilling days for me. Live long and prosper, my friend...you're a national treasure ☮️♥️

You must leave now take what you need you think will last...whatever you need you'd better grab it fast...

Great story about the couch and Dylan!!

None of this would have happened without one guy.....Bill Graham. Thank you Bill.

Hey Steve ..........why wasn't I in the movie?

Saw Dylan Petty and the dead at the Metrodome in mpls 86 good show all around too bad about the riot

The whole couch thing is gnar

I actually saw them together at JFK in Philly also

Aloha steve🥳

There is no such thing as an inanimate object.

❤

That had to be so fun being on tour with Bob Dylan and partying and all.

Good story Steve. Thanks man!! 😊

I have a question that I’m certain Steve Parish might have an answer to… Thanksgiving 1976 Bill Graham presents The Last Waltz The Band and Famous Friends at his famous Winterland Theatre in San Francisco Now, I’m aware The Dead were known to have their own Thanksgiving Feasts but how come there is NO evidence of ANY of The Dead at that show? The Dead woulda been very well aquainted with The Band and everyone else on that show in 1976 and it’s hard to imagine that The Dead organisation would not have been aware of this show BTW Great to hear that story about meeting Bob… Thanks for all the recollections here also I recall reading about Jerry being asked by Bill Graham to perform with Bob during his 1979 run at The Warfield… Bob wasn’t selling tickets ‘cos of his recent “Born Again” vibe and Bill reckoned, correctly, that Jerry on the bill would bump up sales… Any recollection about that happening?

Great quote from Dylan to John Scher at Jerry's funeral. Looking at the coffin, Dylan turned to him and said "that guy was the only person in the world who knew what it was like to be me."

Well isn't that just like a rolling stone...!

I think you just explained quantum entanglement!🎉

Too bad Dylan wasn’t voted into the band.

What an awesome story. Dylan does seem to be an enigmatic cat. He goes back and forth from being normal to being truly weird. I always wondered if that's just a put on. There are some speculations that he may be autistic, like David Byrne. This would kind of make sense, because autistic people are disconnected, but also highly dedicated to whatever they are doing. That's why his music probably connected with so many people; because so many people are actually disconnected. It's ironic isnt it.
