So many players are playing in the band, and now, taking that experience to their music. Then there are almost al' of the biggest bands out there who were directly influenced. Phish, Widespread Panic, String Cheese Incident, so many others all were Dead cover bands at one time.

That was mentioned at work yesterday. My co-worker said "I'll bet he remembers it" and I said, "Terry Jacks?" They busted up laughing.

That song was making about $1 million a year (as of a few years ago) from commercials. The band members who own the song rights (keyboardist and guitar?) bought Katrina out many years ago.

31. 🌞 Sun King 🌞 - Beatles

One of my favorites songs...I love the added crickets sound...






John Lennon wrote this song. He used to say that he dreamed 'Sun King,' but it's possible that he was also reading a book with that title by Nancy Mitford about the life of Louis XIV of France (The "Sun King" was a nickname given to King Louis XIV). He also was poking a bit of fun at George Harrison's "Here Comes The Sun." At one point the title was "Here Comes the Sun King."
