Why?
I actually won two free tickets last year to each night, the 11th and 12th.
I'm going with a friend on Friday but have a spare ticket for the 11th night if anyone wants to join me! For free of course. First come first served :)
Better have some sick JRAD covers as well
I'm trying to track him down, and i've DMd him on Facebook, but it's not been seen for months.
(I run an Instagram about the Dead and wanted to interview him)
Anybody know him or his kids?
EDIT: got him!
The question would be something specific like "Hey Tom, what was your favorite song to play on during your time in the band?"
And his answer would be something like : "The wind gently blows the willows of our minds, and Jerry knew that. Song or no song, it was a choice to behold."
Oh, ok, cool.
His time with the Dead was brief, but he was my favorite keyboard player of theirs.
His work on the B3 was such a nice touch on Anthem of the Sun, Aoxomoxoa, and their live work from late 68 to early 70.

One of the saddest things about his departure IMO was that we never got another St. Stephen with the big swirly organ after that.
Anybody have an opinion on some TC shows where he really shined especially bright? If so, would you be so kind as to link them? Thanks!

Experience the mythical Grateful Dead Album "Infrared Roses" performed live from beginning to end by an all-star cast including original producer Bob Bralove, plus Grateful Dead core family members Tom Constanten, Steve Kimock, George Porter Jr., Wally Ingram and Papa Mali on vocals.
Are there any known concerts where Tom Constanten end Pigpen joined the stage ?
Does anyone know of someone who sells any stickers that have TC on it? He is one of my favorite Dead keyboardists and I’d really like some sort of sticker to give him some love. ✌️
Welcome back to another installment of your weekly listening thread, Help on the Way !!

Enjoy the show and please drop a comment!
Terrapin Flyer will be playing tonight at Grateful Dead night for the White Sox. I saw Tom Constanten will be playing with them as well. According to their facebook (I don't have an account so was unable to comment) they're playing a free show at 5 and then again a Co-Prosperity Sphere at 10PM. Does anyone know where the free 5 PM show is? I'd love to check it out in between work and the game.
How come I never see him mentioned on here, it's like people forget he was in the band or something
With this Anniversary tour looming, so little is said about this surviving, early, and arguable important, Dead member. Could he come out for the tour? Would it be worthwhile?
Hey guys I've been wondering if there's a source or if anyone knows TC's time with the Dead. And is it TC playing the keys in Live/Dead?
