Dead at the Cow Palace Contest
January 27th, 2007 by Pete - - Posted in Giveaway, Jam, Miscellaneous |
If you didn’t win this in Hidden Track’s recent contest (they took the best post title, “A Dead Giveaway”), here’s a chance to pick up Rhino’s recent release of the Grateful Dead’s New Year’s Eve 1976 show at the Cow Palace. It’s a triple CD set, it’s 180 minutes of Dead in their prime goodness, and I think you should have it. There’s a listening party right here, and you can also check out and buy the CD here.
Leaving a comment below enters you in the contest, and I’ll pick a winner early in the coming week. Because it’s late Saturday morning, and I’m high on 2 cups of coffee and cold medicine, let’s get creative. Whoever comes up with the best Grateful Dead / Jerry Garcia related haiku wins the set.
About Haiku: “Haiku is an unrhymed, syllabic form adapted from the Japanese: three lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables. Because it is so brief, a haiku is necessarily imagistic, concrete & pithy, capturing a single moment in a very few words.”
so good luck people
this is a lot of music
eat asparagus

1. Garcia
O, Bearded guru
Who stole my hippie childhood
With mangled fingers
2. The Dead
Parking lot visions:
It must have been the roses
that we were smoking
Thanks in advance for yer consideration — this show sounds pretty good, actually.

Dig the haiku deal
Almost as much as the Dead
Free music rocks, though

Never met Jerry
Nor did I see the Dead live
But this trip I’d take
