Just heard the news that Frank Beard has left the building. He kept time for one of the greatest rhythm sections in the rock era. Put on some ZZ Top and just know when that shuffle kicks in, everything is gonna be ok.
RIP, man.

Talkin' 'bout, Hey now! 🌈
Right before JFK Stadium was condemned and shut down for structural decay, the Grateful Dead took it around for one last spin on this day in 1989. Just hours before the show, inspectors had reportedly found piles of combustible materials and endless electrical problems. Nonetheless, the love of jamming propelled the show forward and closed out with an ironic “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.”
You can find this performance of “Iko Iko” in 'Crimson, White, and Indigo,’ captured at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia on 07/07/89, on the Grateful Dead YouTube channel.
Jerry Garcia's iconic custom "Tiger" guitar, built by Doug Irwin, has sold for $11.56 million (rumored to Derek Trucks or possibly a benefactor who bought it for Derek), becoming the second most expensive guitar ever sold
