You're basically right. Hippie came from hipster, which were the beatnicks in the 1950's. As the scene evolved and the social revolution grew, Hippies resulted. A hippie, truly, is one who is hardcore into the subculture lifestyle. I'm right with you, I'm 30, a Deadhead (got to see 'em twice), and really love the whole 'spirit' of it all. Some may call me a hippe, but certainly I'm not. Any one want to add and bring even more clarity?

I was at this show, it was the best Franklins Tower I ever saw them play, and one of the best shows I'd ever seen. I Fist saw the Dead at the Fillmore East in 1968.

I love Phil's lines on this song.

Yes, the 2-26-77 set is amazing, the funkiest franklins, the music never stopped, and help on the way I ever heard. Phil's bass lines were tight as hell. James Brown would have been proud.

8/13/75,the Franklins tower from one from the vault is one of the best ones. At least my favorite 1977-02-26 is great one too

Jerry didn't mess up, the dead often played different tunes or said different lyrics for example in scarlet begonias he often sang "when the dealer got rough" or "from the other direction I was calling her eye" the dead just did whatever they want while playing, the written words/music was basically a guideline
