Steve, what a great rap tonite or really when this rap actually accured, and thanks for Wharf Rat ,great version, When I saw you at Oracle Sunday ,I really just wanted to say how great you coming out when Bill introduced the crew and you said , you all are the best audience,that was a special moment in show biz cuz you meant it and the was such a great fucking moment, 1st time I really said hello to you was w/Dick Latvalla at the Phoenix Thtr in Petaluma , New Years Eve , Zero
my favorite show of '83 is June 18 SPAC, especially the second set..wowzers! Scarlet>Fire, a pre post drumspace Playin' and a monstrous Dew! Peace brother.
Thanks for being who you are and for keeping the faith Steve. In Lawrence of Arabia, there is a quote "the desert is an ocean in which no oar is dipped". I loved your image of a band like the GD on the road worldwide as a ship traversing the great unknown. I'm 68 and that extraordinary ship came though in my teens and enhanced my life, yet my relationship with the band is a bit different than with many other who developed a warm fuzzy relationship with the GD scene. Personally the GD scared me, as I perceived the band in full regalia as a form of fickle beast that could beguile and often challenge anyone who would take them for granted. Y'all played a show on my birthday, 5/5/1980 In Baltimore, and when the first set began Bobby was at first a bit perturbed at some sound problem that he felt was not being addressed and responded to by whoever was responsible to get it right. Later in that show the band went into one of their extraordinary improvisational interludes, and then...Something Happened, and I started getting scared and intimidated by the music, and the stage setup took on a scary form and I'm thinking do they know? do they know that this band can become a terrifying, living machine that may at any moment simple rip your head off and consume it. Do they know this? That night The GD became a magnificent gleaming living entity to be respected and at times, feared, as when you least expect it just might f-ing steal your face, right off your head! I'd learned to love the GD years before, but on 5/5 1980, I evolved and also learned to fear and respect the GD, this insane beast they've somehow collectively brought into being in this realm. A brilliant, jacked in, tuned in beast that doesn't care what you think about it and takes no prisoners, whatsoever.
I know exactly what you mean man! thanks for sharing! Never hear anyone put it that way except me - when the monster overcame the confines of of being a band - even a great band and a great jam and something else would happen - the draw of energy from the core of the earth and from spirits of the sky - the touching of Gods and demons and untold energies impossible for a band to do and yet they did and time and dimensions - at least those you recognized were changed and you/we were in a new 'field' - But it is going to be alright be alright because sooner or later if you were lucky - they'd land you back on the ground if you could stick with it, ride th dragon on the roller coaster and get to the still waters again - sometimes you couldn't you had to back up - way up! but usually I made it and the times I didn't 'make it' are famous still! 50 years this November 28th for my first show at the age of 15 in 1970 - I had my 45th anniversary on that day with Dead and Company in Las Vegas and here we still are- thanks for your comment. I know just what you mean - can't say exactly when I realized it though - probably the first time but in the 80s it got lit, that is for sure! Indescribable but you did pretty good!
Steve you used to say you was gonna take my beers in the lot and I'd promise to take em back to the car and you would let me go and I would skip off yelling icy cold imports and you'd turn and give me dirty looks. My first show was 1986 Akron, Ohio at the Rubber Bowl Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and of course the Grateful Dead and I was hooked instantly best family ever. Dead for life love you all
at burn in '12 we had a fifty foot scaffold and at 4 am im up there just takin it all in--only thing wrong was the 15 different techno musics, but all i heard was Darkstar
I'd have to honestly say that the Capitol theater in Passaic New Jersey is by far the most intimate place to see a band and if you like to party the bathrooms were set up for perfect party situations

Great listen, thanks for posting! I just love Big Steve and his stories. I love his voice too, how it sounds.
Steve's perspective is so deep. He's, like, the philosopher of the Dead. I love hearing him talk
Jesus, I never gave Steve the credit he deserves for being an emissary from beyond
He turned to the better angels in all of us….Well said Steve
More big Steve please. Thanks.

Thanks for putting Big Steve on the youtube airways!!!

Why do I get the feeling that Steve has taken A LOT of acid over the course of his lifetime?
@@spirituallyjazzy he hasn't, he said it during the show
You mean Jerry was... "picky"?
The first dead show for me was in Winterland and I felt the Vib Steve is talking about.. Burning Man is the only other place I felt that kind of Vib..
at burn in '12 we had a fifty foot scaffold and at 4 am im up there just takin it all in--only thing wrong was the 15 different techno musics, but all i heard was Darkstar
Wharf Rat- a beautiful prayer for salvation...
amen brother. "I got no dime but I've got some time to hear a story"
