Grateful Dead

it's fubar how expendable employees are maybe you collect or maybe you pay

I will say that among recent Phil gems, one of favorite moments is the crazy hypnotic bass line figure he plays at the beginning and then at the end of Crazy Fingers (especially when he was playing in Furthur).

He managed to produce KISS so well that they ended up on the map after 3 unsuccessful records. KISS gets a bad rap for what I would say or obvious reasons, but if you put all else aside and listen to the Eddie Kramer produced KISS Alive! double LP, it's one of the best hard rock albums of the 70s.

Dead of the Day: March 16, 1968http://www.gratefuldeadoftheday.com/03-16-1968 Carousel Ballroom San Francisco, California Our Dead of the Day takes us back to some primal Dead with the show from March 16, 1968. The first set opens strong with a Dark Star, which is just as solid as you would expect. An especially fresh and upbeat China Cat comes next, almost slapping you with its phenomenal, boisterous, psychedelic jubilation. What’s more, China Cat morphs right into an Eleven, which doubles the sensational, playful pleasure. Pig comes slinking along after that with his sly, confident, and conspiratorial vocals, trying to catch those young ladies who have let their guard down with a funky, bluesy Schoolgirl to close out the first half of the night. The next set gets off on the right foot with a powerful Morning Dew with Jerry’s guitar just dancing through the jams as Phil throws in a few bombs. It Hurts Me Too then gives way to a quick but smoking Other One suite moving from the ethereal sound of the Cryptical into the driving power of the Other One and then back again. The set ends with an up-tempo, searching, and utterly fantastic Alligator> Caution> Feedback before the always welcome We Bid You Good Night encore. It was a relatively short night, but the Dead were sharing the bill with Jefferson Airplane who surely played their own long sets and were likely the bigger draw.

Eric, hope it sorts itself out for you and that you a new gig sooner rather than later.I will hold my thumbs for you, (in Sweden we dont cross our fingers). Me, am now retired since a couple of months and digging deep into Japanese modal jazz, no longer have to worry about the day job.

True that, Vguy. To quote one of my favorite films: "We are indeed in the arena of the unwell."

I can't believe how far RS has fallen in just 50 short years. Just look how this guy begins the article: "Mickey Hart extends a hand over his desk and smirks. "Would you like some water?" the 74-year-old longtime Grateful Dead drummer asks. "Beer? Vodka? Anything? Opium?" It’s hard to tell if he’s joking. In his sprawling compound on the top of a hill in the rural paradise of west Sonoma County, where Hart both lives and records music in a custom-built barn-size studio, the chance that mind-altering substances are regularly consumed hardly seems out of the question. But it seems a little early in the day to start actively messing with reality." Turn in your credentials, Andrew. It's never too early in the day to start actively messing with reality.

....go get 'em. Hart talks Trump. Ummmmm. No he didn't. Clickbait article by RS. Par for the course. Trump stuff invades every iota of anything out there. Sad....interpret that as you will.

Good luck getting back up and running, Erik. Wishing you the best.

Haven't been on board the past 2 weeks because I lost my retail job of 17 years w/o warning. I'm looking hard for a gig and prospects are promising. I miss everyone and hope to be back soon.No fighting while I'm gone please ;) Your friend, Erik
