You know: gimme an F! …

Leading into a memorable anti-war song.

The rest of his career? Beats me.

I wore out the 8 track I had from the concert. Some other notables still living:

Pete Townsend, Roger Daltrey, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, Arlo Guthrie, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh.

Buddy, Phil Lesh died last October and Bobby just passed in January

you didn't know this?

That's what I get for asking co-pilot. Not as bad as forgetting a first cousin had passed away,

LOL. I wouldn't expect a non-deadhead to know that so much

But losing Bobby was just the worst for me. I mean everybody loved Jerry and he was the Leader Of The Band. But Bobby was my guy.

Pours one out for Bobby

Did you ever make it to the Sphere?
We went the past two years, spent a long weekend in Vegas and took in 2 nights each time, from different seating perspectives.
It was great, the visuals were really stunning.

I considered trying to go to the SF show at Golden Gate Park, but didn’t feel like standing in a crowd of 50 thousand, and from what I saw on the stream Bobby was off, already suffering effects from his illness, so I’m not too sad I didn’t get to see that one in person.

Went in June of 24. It was incredible.

I would have gone to Golden Gate but it was just too much all in all.

Bob Weir and Phil Lesh have already taken the Further bus to Dead Heaven *

Country Joe and the Fish.

Seems like I haven't heard much as of late from Jimmy Hendrix or Janis Joplin,*

Dam, if she couldn't do it herself she's bulletproof at this age.

I hear she's knee-deep in medical bills.*

"The Fish" was the nickname of the other co-founder

Carlos Santana, Grace Slick and John Fogarty (CCR) are among the performers still around. Remember, many of them were early 20s at the time. John Fogarty is 80.

Hate to go all "marketing" on them, but shoulda gone with "Fish and Country Joe". :-)

I'm tellin' ya, they coulda been big !! HUGE even !!

Performers/Viet Nam war personalities who are still with us: I'd say that includes Jane Fonda, born in 1937. (She didn't spout off about Viet Nam until 1972 though.)
