I’m sorry to be posting this but Duncan Oldham was hit by a car after the Phish show and he has died. I watched my best friend die in front of me. I’m at the police station talking to the police about it. I’m devastated.
Apparently 35 years ago I gave Paul Kalman a bunch of my JGB and GD masters to hold onto. Paul was smart and he copied them all. I just went to his house to pick up the tapes since I lost mine and was happy to see some of my masters in there. Almost every Jerry show I recorded is in there, and a lot of GD too. I’ll get these digitized when I get back home.
I have Bob Matthews reel collection and there are a handful of Airplane soundboard masters. Here’s links to the hi-res flacs.

This was the last Dick’s pic I took. Ready for a new batch.
Everything is a soundboard master except West LA 3/31/86.

I found a master soundboard reel from Jerry Garcia Old And In The Way 10/8/1973 Boarding House in SF in a box full of loose reels. The complete show has already been released but we’ll still do a hi-res transfer of the reel. Will be nice to have it in 24-bit. Hopefully I find the rest of the show.
Here’s an uncirculated recording from 1966. It was part of the Bob Matthews reel collection I picked up last week.

I was eating breakfast at Mel’s and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share their neon.
My wife was able to clear all 5 items in one transaction. She sold the hot item, shells, weeds and fruit all at once which came to over 5,000 bells. #rockstar
Here's my AKG recordings from all 18 shows on the Phish summer tour. I'll add the September Dick's shows to the folder after the run is done. Please feel free to share the link.
I sent my wife a photo from NYC with a Sabrett hot dog stand in the background so she put one on our island. She had to create the Sabrett logo which I think came out great.
David Gans and I had a great time talking about the GD taping thing.
I’m doing a Grateful Dead dance party in Charlotte on August 29th. More NC dates coming soon. I’ll be playing some uncirculated GD soundboard masters along with other fun stuff. #CharlieMillersGratefulDeadDanceParty

I found a poster tube walking out of last night’s Phish show in Syracuse. We will ship it back to you if you can tell me its contents and the seat location.
Let the games begin.
Saw this near Deer Creek yesterday
I found proof that the moon landing was fake. You can see Ruby directing it and if you look closely you can see someone left a coffee mug on the set.
