Big Steve Parish - Story Time
We're extremely honored to have the one and only Big Steve Parish on No Simple Road as part of our lead up to Skull & Roses Festival. Steve Parish has been a primary member of the Grateful Dead family for 50 years.\xa0Steve first joined the band as a roadie in 1969.\xa0It wasn\u2019t long before he became Jerry Garcia\u2019s trusted gear handler and began to manage the Jerry Garcia Band. Over the years, Parish and Garcia forged an unbreakable bond. Steve was Jerry\u2019s best man at his wedding and was at his bedside when Garcia fell into a coma in 1986.\xa0Parish was the last friend to see Jerry before his untimely death in 1995.\xa0Steve has continued to maintain his relationships with the rest of the Grateful Dead family.\xa0As Weir once said to him \u201cBlood is thicker than water but what we have is thicker than blood."\nWe get to hear some amazing stories from Big Steve and get down to the nitty gritty of what it means to be such an integral part of this amazing Grateful Dead Family for over 50 years.\nINTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH OUR GRATITUDE AND THE PERMISSION OF:\nCIRCLES AROUND THE SUN - 'Babyman'\nAMORAMORA - 'Diamon Philips'\nAMENDOLA VS.BLADES - 'Lima Bean'\nWhen you're out there seeing your favorite artist, dance like nobody's watching.
