    “Burgers, we don’t need no…

    stinkin burgers” lol, yep, totally transported me right there lol.
    Remember my “first”, folks older, experienced folks I was with took us to late night burrito place, used Togo late night all the time, like clockwork. That night, food? Couldn’t fathom it or why you’d want to? And the florescent lights and GIANT fish tanks almost freaked me out lol. Of course eventually I learned that food could be good too lol
    Man, just looked up, what a ride!
    Might as well travel the elegant way!

    Those were the daze my friend, we thought they’d never end…

    Music fathoms the sky......

    Hey rockers!!

    Right now? Properly sequenced 10/24/70. You know why..............

    Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music......

    Rock on!!!

    Music is an outburst of the soul.......

    And I was designated driver, lol. I guess I was the Capt. trips because it was well known I could keep it together no matter what. Tim's (CA Deadhead who got me on the bus in the dorm at Colo. State in 1975) '66 Mercedes 200 batwing no less. He trusted me on ski trips with that too. Likely my favorite car to drive of all time. I remember laughing hysterically with the people still in the car while the others were getting some food. We couldn't imagine why they would want to eat food. We don't need no stinking burgers! A good time was had by all. Appreciate the props bro.
    Cheers

    Gave the 18th a full sit down last night, which I hadn’t done in awhile.
    Holy crap what a good show! My recollection was that the first night (has always been!) HOT. But that the next two nights were good, but maybe not RJ?
    Maybe just set and setting, but boy I really dug the 18th last night, almost got up outta my seat a few times like Dave says lol
    So once I’m awake enough lol, going to try for the 19th next…
    I know PF and others don’t fully embrace these, and as I say, over the years I’ve not always felt the full eeeleck tricity, but it sure clicked last night.
    I think there’s occasionally a looseness during this time that occasionally might lead certain types to head scratch. Like their not full on or something? I think it’s just their having fun, and are in such a good place that their relaxed and loose and just letting it flow? Who knows?

    I unfortunately don’t recall so much from being there except that it was good, and the new, steep hill to accommodate more people, but not the crazy oversold monsoon mob and our awesome DIY slip and slide down the hill lol.
    And I’ve now seen the video so many times I can’t recall much specifically.

    But to me, the thing that makes this time so special is Garcia! He’s not only playing well, he’s really enjoying himself. You can literally see it!
    I didn’t watch any of it last night (supposedly the 18th was a MUATM?) but I could just see him in my minds eye after watching DH the previous night.
    All the vids from this time show how much fun he was having and it showed in his playing! (wish they’d give us more vids, legacy tech and all…)

    ISTSHOW: lol, synesthesia at prime proper upscale jazz show!
    I bet THAT was interesting, yer a warrior!
    The setting reminds me of a late eighties Metheny show, muggy, hot, with too much humidity, and excessive stealth bullet usage smack dab in the middle of upscale crowd etc…”dude, yer gonna get us kicked out or worse”, me= “it’s melting, so I HAVE to do it all” I should write a book lol

    Great story 1stshow, and I bet that was an awesome show!

    First Show & Cold Dead Hands

    Cold dead hands indeed :-)

    I buy this stuff and tell my wife, "but look they go up in value" "It's for our son someday"

    In reality it doesn't matter what happens to the price,,, I'm not selling.

    It wouldn't be a collection if you sold stuff. I've been collecting albums since I was 7. I still have all my "kids" albums.

    Someday they will go to my son (unless my wife sells them all 5 minutes after I'm dead), what he will do with them, who knows.

    Can there EVER be enough music? Of course not!

    Music may not be life, but it's the reason for living. If the only thing we can take to the next stop in life is our memories, mine will be filled with music!

    Jorgenson Pederson

    Great concert last night in Rock Hall MD, intimate venue with John Jorgenson's bluegrass band, featuring legend Herb Pedersen, who just turned 80 and has played with so many including Chris Hillman, David Grisman, Old and In the Way, many others. Looking forward to JRAD Thursday in Burlington, Yonder Mountain soon after. Jorgenson is especially memorable for me, his Django Jazz was the last live music I saw before the pandemic shut everything down for years.

Currently rewatching Couch Tour of the Austin show. Charlotte, Austin, how lucky you were!! Some great shows this tour. Never was in a position to follow the band thru tours. Had to pick my shows. The couch Tour is pretty great, especially for an old guy. Hope this isn’t wrong. Not trying to promote or advertise them, but thrilled to see every show of a tour, so conveniently.

AOXOMOXOA 50th anniversary disc 1- 1969 original mix

This entire production is first class, from the 3D cover (a la rolling stones satanic majesty) which I certainly would have appreciated staring at back in the day, it is truly wonderous.
The sound is perfect, the live stuff sounds better than ever, but really should use the original shows complete, in the order that the Dead created them.

Listening to Good morning little schoolgirl by the Dead and comparing it to Ten Year After version...well, what to say, as much as I dig Alvin Lee (RIP), I MUST say that Jerry's version has more soul to it. Great cover by the Dead (off their debut album!).
