The world can be a cold and heartless place. A smile can make a change, an encouraging hug may give someone warmth and a good song may fill you up with hope. To say free is the same as being free. Something that sums up what the classic bay area bands of the 60s were about. Quicksilver Messenger Service, Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape, Grateful Dead among others send me a warm message from a time I didn't experience myself, but strongly believe in from the feeling I get from their music. I am not a naive person and I know that some people always try to earn money and power on nothing and everything. A good idea still remains a good idea whatever corruptions it is submitted to. The idea of a collective being, an expanded mind which would lead to peace, love and understanding is an idea that I strongly support and believe that we need today. We need to show people that we are real people who are able to feel, respect an honour one another, just as we are with all our shortcomings.

We tried our best to honour the band that nurtured these thoughts up until the death of their guitarist, Jerry Garcia. The still existing members of Grateful Dead continue carrying the flame and we wanted to help them on the way by playing three of their songs at our latest show at Lilla wien. First out was the beautiful Eyes of the World. Hope you enjoy it!



Here is a live version of the same song with the Grateful Dead in 1974.



Take care and live well!
