One More Saturday Night With The Peer Family

On the final day of Dead & Company’s 30-show residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas, I was honored to sit down with  Huntington natives and fellow Deadheads, brothers John and Tommy Peer and Tommy’s son Thomas Peer.  We spent our time together reminiscing about the multigenerational Peer + Staib family bond, the Huntington shenanigans that we shared together and a few war stories of old.  

Tommy & John brought us back to the glory days of when the Peers and Staibs were roommates post-college at their legendary animal house on Carly Avenue.  

Tommy shares his Villanova connection with Tom Staib, and takes us back to the late 80’s catching shows at the Philly Spectrum, among other famously epic venues.

Thomas, the youngest music fan in the room, gives us his impression of The Sphere and Dead & Company’s performance the night before, it being the anniversary of Jerry’s passing, and Tom Staib’s 60th birthday.  And yes, Tom DID gift us with a Not Fade Away the night before.  Thanks Tom!!

We also got out of the box and talked of music outside the world of the Grateful Dead, when John reminded me how ridiculously talented Green Day is and how I should give them a listen.  Thanks John, I sure did!

Finally, I was asked what the initials “IFE” mean and why those three letters carry so much meaning to me.  Thank you for asking, I loved sharing the backstory.

Join us, and let’s see where the energy takes us! #IFE
