This one absolutely stings me bad on a personal level. Glad I got to see him 3 consecutive nights at the Sphere last year with the Co. My parents took me to see The Dead towards the end of their run before Jerry passed. Weir was my guy in the band and he was a down to earth, wonderful man.

Going to play a handful of live shows in his honor today and probably through the next few days.

RIPPLE, Ace.
