Grateful Dead

If you ignore them. They need the attention to flourish and survive. I really do know how to spell. Disappear. See??

And a tip of the hat to the good Doctor. Don’t know if you’ve been following at all. Been some nice stretches here since you’ve been gone, but alas it seems more and more the shit winds have been blowing....especially lately...anyway, nice to see you, hope your doing well!Hell, ya know things are getting funky when good hearted Jim starts getting cranky! THIN; hang in there bra, strength in numbers! Place wouldn’t be the same without ya. GARCIA; man I hate “favorites”. That being said, I’d have to go with Compliments. I love the wierd stuff on the 1st album, and Cats has some amazing tunes, but as a whole album, I’d have to go with Compliments. Truly outside the box, diverse, sophisticated, ridiculous tight playing....... Edit: I kinda feel like Reflections doesn’t count, more like a Dead album. And I fine one at that, similar to ACE in that respect.... THE QUEEN; rock on Lady Soul. Mucho R-E-S-P-E-C-To, sock it to me indeed! DAVES; as I may have posted not long ago, have been able to snag some missing Dave’s, Dicks and Road Trips lately. Awesome Dead from 68, 73, 74, 82, 83, 88, with 69, 91 and of course the big dawg (NW box) all arriving soonish..... Haven’t had tons of time to really dig in, but so far have dug it all, especially Dave’s 16 & 13. Can’t believe I missed all that back when.... 16 is really blowing me away....as I’ve said, late 73 is perhaps my personal “favorite”, gawd there’s that word again, but I’ve somehow not been privy to much from the rest of the year. THAT HAS TO CHANGE! Cannot put into words how much I’m itching for this Big Dawg!! CPATROCKS; no more complaining, that seems to be a trend here lately. Nothing but wha, wha, wha, cheese and rice, like I think STOLTZY and Vguy said, what the fuck else can you get for 25 bucks that gives so much reoccurring value, pleasure, and sometimes “unbridled” enthusiasm. This is supposed to be entertainment......also, question for you, hell let’s throw this one out to everyone out there in the cheap seats. Would you rather they not release good shows because they might need a patch? Let’s take 27 off the table. Let’s say some killer Beatty from seventy what ever, would all y’all rather not have something released at all because of patches? STOLTZY; Hamel-Head, sounds like some kind of disease, perhaps obtained due to too much camel-toe. Ouch, sorry, this is what happens when Vguy ain’t around to fill the humor spot of our program ; ) Katec (?); welcome to Vail. Didn’t think we had those kinds of snakes up here, too cold? Hope you get to enjoy our little neighborhood and not stuck with too much trebajo! Perhaps you’ll be around for the 17&18th JG biff day bash shows this weekend. Should be sweet, hear talk of “special guests” Ok, back to work, for fucks sake play nice chilrens! Perhaps if we all make an effort to mostly say nice/positive things, and bite the perverbial tongue and keep the negative to yourself? Just a thought, free society and all, but when several of our long time top members here start saying adios, There is a problem, and no offense meant, but some folks aren’t helping all that...... So light up Jim’s irritable bowl, fire up some Reathra, and lay back and groove on a rainy day my brothers and sisters....

....will be driving my Spotify on my work computer today. All day.

- Old and In The Way- Garcia (1st LP) - Reflections / Cats Under the Stars (tie, Mission in the Rain could yield a slight edge though)

From WarnerMarket; price went up from $699 to $750...wondering if these have all the original box & contents.

Had a chance for another few listens to this one. I really dig how high up in the mix Bobby is. You can hear what he's doing clearly at pretty much all times. As a big Bobby fan this is great. While he may not be the juggernaut he was from '72-'74 vamping wise, he picks his spots so well and his tone is so distinctive. Great use of the whammy too. I don't think I've ever uttered or typed that last sentence before. : )
