60 years ago yesterday (probably), jerry garcia's 1st LSD trip, according to a bunch of his pals i interviewed for @mojomagazine.bsky.social 10 years ago, just a few days before the 1st warlocks gig. https://archive.org/details/mojo-june-2015/page/66/mode/2up #deadfreaksunite #psychedelics #GratefulDead

4/29/75 ace’s: a jam labeled SWING WARMUPS, featuring double-keys action by godchaux (on piano) & lagin (on rhodes), similar to the A-to-E-FLAT groove from february, but minus the distinctive change. cool feel, though. E-A-C JAM is the verse/chorus of MUSIC NEVER STOPPED, sounding less developed than earlier takes, but with the MIND LEFT BODY-ish change now inserted as a bridge; a few days from having 1st draft lyrics. #deadfreaksunite #gd042975 [2/2]

4/17/75 ace’s: patient 14-minute jam that sounds croz-driven (or maybe one of ned’s tunes), with weir & cipollina finding places. minus cipollina, working on MUSIC NEVER STOPPED & croz’s LOW DOWN PAYMENT. lots of STRONGER THAN DIRT with croz (i think) holding his own while weir plays diamond-y semi-leads. some instrumentals that are probably be lagin’s tunes, RUNNING HOME, LOST SOUL, NO NAME, & others (trying to get him to pin down the titles with ned). #deadfreaksunite #gd041775 [2/2]

greetings from #NewOrleans (& the pop culture conference), where a kind hotel clerk helped us locate the room the dead were busted in at the royal sonesta in 1970, formerly 2184, now 2128. the maid said someone was staying there so we couldn't go in (nor did we have a warrant). #deadfreaksunite #GratefulDead #cannabis

I got a ticket for Bobby Weir in London and I am super stoked! Probably go by train although it's twice the price then a plane. Need a hotel as well :) YES #deadfreaksunite

4/2/75 ace’s: drumless jamming on old warlocks’ standby HIDEAWAY by freddie king. an instrumental labeled THE WALK (is this a cover someone can ID?). future MUSIC NEVER STOPPED starting to tighten. still working at soon-abandoned A TO E-FLAT/BLUE NOODLE SOUP, garcia trying some suitably weird harmonies. fragments of SLIPKNOT! (enticing) & LAZY LIGHTNIN’ (less so). DISTORTO turns celestial reggae with tremolo rhodes & becomes CRAZY FINGERS, sans words. #deadfreaksunite #gd040275 [2/2]
