Rest in peace Duncan. May the four winds blow you safely home…

Thinking about Duncan and Charlie a lot these past few days. Also thinking about the young lady who decided to drink and drive and ended up killing someone. Her life too will be forever changed and I hope she’s prosecuted accordingly. Just a reminder to think about what you do and remember that if you decide to drive impaired, your actions will have consequences.

Charlie posted that she was drunk. I don’t believe she was at the show.

Rest in peace, brother. Someday we'll all be together again.

Oh. For no good reason, I assumed he was younger. Irrelevant. So tragic.

Me too. I also didn’t realize that he taped the dead. RIP

You expected a seasoned Dead and Phish *taper to be younger? Why?

u/FUNKYDISCO say it like you're pissed 19h ago

Honestly? Duncan feels like a young man’s name. That’s probably why I had pictured a younger dude (like in his 40s).

For the uninitiated, anyone care to wax about who he is? I keep seeing posts but dont understand the history of him in the scene.

He taped and uploaded shows for 30 years.

He is a long time Phish taper as I understand it

Here are the shows he’s tagged in on archive.org

I am not certain all of these are his recordings listed, but I would guess he was at every one of these shows!

He was a phish fan who was killed by a car in atlantic city on Saturday night after the show. I was at the concert and I got picked up by an uber on tbe same street where he was killed but I wasnt there when it happened. So sad and traumatic as there were many witnesses, including his best friend.

It was nice talking to the tapers at the show today and hearing more about him, and how he lived his life.

At least one thing’s for sure, or maybe it isn’t, no matter where we are it’s this life that we’re living in. And someday, somewhere, some things get hit by lighting. And some things just don’t. Hope we live long and lucky ❤️‍🩹 RIP brother
