Daspyknows NOTES:  
Final weekend of Stern Grove 2022 was Phil Lesh and Friends.  Since I 
anticipated a larger and more motivated crowd it meant getting out there
earlier than usual to get on line.  Was awake at 3:54 and out the door at 
5:01 which got me on line at 5:30 since there was no traffic.  That got me
third on line which would work.  Friends arrived and when doors open one
of our friends took the blankets and was the runner.  I dragged the cooler
with food and drinks and chairs and my spot was waiting.  There was lots of 
room for friends and some friends of friends.  People just had to understand
taping was going on.  Opening band Midnight North put on a short set with 
guests from Phil's band sitting in for a few songs.  As the music was about
to start a big and tall guy who was friends with someone ended up next to me
and started talking.  I nicely shushed him and he gave me a dirty look.  I 
thought to myself, really?  Then he cluelessly clapping loudly right at the 
level of the mics and is obviously clueless.  I didn't get there at 5:30 to 
have someone next to me ruin the recording.  He then starts to talk again and 
someone else shushes him as I am about too.  He left, the next song which was
fine with me.  Phil came on with his bamd and opened with Dark Star into St. 
Stephen.  If the Grateful Dead did that 30 years ago I would have lost my mind.
This was fun but almost seemed coverbandish (don't hate me for that).  The 
Shakedown Street and Terrapin Station were really good.  I also really enjoyed 
the Let it Grow and Playing In The Band.  As the set ran long they ended with 
a short  version of Uncle John's Band.  A fun day at the grove hanging out with 
friends and enjoying some Grateful Dead music.  Hope those who couldn't attend
enjoy this capture of the show.
