Crum Creek Hike Pt 2 on 2025-11-06 - Shakedown Street from 1979-01-17

Описание: This is the second part of our hike in the Crum Woods on November 6, 2025. Here we begin to move eastward away from the creek and up the hill towards the town before turning southward and back towards our starting point. The accompanying music is from the grateful deads performance 47 years ago tonight at the New Haven Coliseum in New Haven, CT. Shakedown Street was the show opener. This show was a make-up show from a cancellation in November due to Jerry's illness. My first show was the next night at the Providence Civic Center.

I saw the grateful dead back in 1979 when i was 15... that night changed my life. i was amazed by everything i saw, felt, and heard, from start to finish. Most impressive was the lead guitarist, Jerry Garcia. He had something special, some magic in him, for sure. The band as a whole was one of a kind, but Garcia stood out. From the start, I always thought of it as the "Phil & Jerry show." That night, 1/18/1979, put me on a fantastically long, strange, trip that i'm still on today. I'm happy to say that i saw the grateful dead 78 times. I also went to as many JGB shows as i could- i don't have a count on those. i can truly say that i definitely didn't see either band often enough!

My name is Leo. Through the years i never really learned how to play the guitar. Just played it and struggled the whole way. Haven't had a lesson... I've tried not to listen to anyone about it- and it probably shows. What i offer you is me, and this music from my heart, born of pure love and emotion. Hopefully you'll feel some of it as you listen. I'm not the best singer but i love to sing the dead and garcia tunes. There's so much meaning behind all of it for me. I know many of you share this same feeling... its something special and very difficult to describe. Something about Garcia's sincerity when he sang rubbed off on all of us. We remember when we hear their music. I miss Jerry every day. His music is an inspiration...
