Strange feelings on the night of July 16, the last show of the Dead & Co. Final Tour in San Francisco. I did not stream the final performance, nor attend a single show on the tour, but it was still weird knowing that the world’s collection of half the surviving members of the Grateful Dead were in the process of pulling the plug for good on the sum of what was left of their parts.
