Alabama Getaway - Not Really

The very first Stream of the year (click on image to the right to enlarge) started on a very good note. Episode #107 opened with a Cosmic Charlie which was then followed by lots of tunes that were auspicious for a New Year - a New Decade message: Love, Sunshine and Unbroken-ness.

The featured show was a college show - The Grateful Dead at the University of Alabama in the Spring of 1977. It showcases one of the first Jack-a-Roes' and they do everything else so sweetly. The set list may suggest a typical show, but it is the quality of the playing that makes this show more than typical. Below is a very nice email I received from a fellow Streamer regarding last week's Shakedown Stream - right on.

Hi Jer Bear, Tom in Cleveland here... I download and listen to The Stream every week. I try to workout everyday, and my routine is to pop in the ear buds and go for a ten mile ride (so to speak). Actually it’s a hour on the elliptical for cardio, than another hour of calisthenics, weight lifting, steam, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I appreciate your streams, and I really look forward to them. Anyway, The Alabama show this week was remarkable. Bob, Jerry, AND Donna's voices were all in tip top shape. What a pleasure hearing it. Jerry's noodling in the second set was sweet. Tom B.
