    Who's up for a revolutionary evolutionary ride? DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30: FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 1/2/70 captures the Grateful Dead as they make their first foray from the experimental 60s into their early 70s acoustic Americana period. Yes, this one is a little bit country and a little bit (psychedelic) rock and roll.

    When the "Magnificent Seven" - Pigpen on percussion, T.C. on keys - first took the stage on 1/2/70, evidence was clear that the trip was about to take a turn. From their western wears to the twang in Jerry’s “broken-string blues,” it appeared they'd brought the Bakersfield sound to the Big Apple. They worked through much of what would become Workingman's Dead, stunning the crowd with laid-back numbers like "Uncle John's Band," "Casey Jones," and "Black Peter." Just the same, they satisfied 60s stalwarts with magical versions of "Dark Star," "St. Stephen," and "That's It For The Other One." Sonic alchemy, indeed!

    DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30: FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK, ​New York 1/2/70 has been rounded out with a bit of 1/3/70 (the subscribers-only bonus disc features the bulk of 1/3/70). It was recorded by the great Owsley "Bear" Stanley and has been lovingly mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman.

    DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30 is limited to 20,000 individually-numbered copies*.

    *Limited to 2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

    Deadhead Stories

    Good morning dead people....if you haven’t ordered your copy of deadhead stories, I would do so quickly. As of yesterday there were only 60 copies left. It is very well done, with 11x8.5 color, and over 300 pages of awesome stories. Got mine on last Monday and already 1/3 of the way through. By far my favorite book about the Dead so far. There is one Grate story about the 2nd group to get in line for The Closing of Winterland...5 days early! By the time the show started the line was around the block!!!!!

    Link to deadhead stories site to order is here. All proceeds go to Charity.

    Great story-thanks. Almost makes me wish I lived in America!

    Listening to 7/1/78 from the 1978 box set as I type. This was the one where the Dead played with many other bands as part of "Willie Nelsons Picnic", so its a single set show. But its got some great playing on it. Estimated is the highlight for me-great jamming leading into The Other One. Minimum slide show - it doesn't detract from a great Tennessee Jed, if you factor it out, and actually sounds quite nice and mournful leading out of Playing in the Band. Less is more, as they say. Great Jerry guitar in Wharf Rat, now, too- hey, this show is really alright!

    Re: KCJ / Buttons Stems, Caps and Ediblezzz

    The Buttons, then the stems and caps.... and a three week delay in posting. Thanks to the good, quick thinking folks here at dead.net.. we set up a GoFundMe to get KCJ out of jail and back to work..

    Don't mind me, I didn't have time to read your whole post, but I did quickly skim through the text, and having gotten four hours of sleep this week alone, I am quite sure I absorbed the entirety of your post:

    ' ..sorry didn't post, gone for three and a half weeks, brought my newbe brother in law to a show against his wife's best wishes, dosed him.. then got him stoned.. and there was nothing left to drink but hard liquor and IPA's.. what's a guy to do? '

    It was Sixtus and his grower/attorney friend Cosmic Charlie that first come through with the plan that freed the J' family from the calamity that was sure to catch up to them. In the end, a clear case of mistaken identity.

    Tragedy narrowly averted.

    Great tale, KCJ.. good to hear you had fun and escaped the long arm of the law (meaning your sister in law in this case).

    In all honesty.. I really wanted to go to the Gorge this year (and perhaps Folsom Field as a close second), but the timing and ticket prices worked against me. Still, I love the PNW.. a truly great spot in the planet blue I plan to revisit as often as I can.

    Glad it all worked out.

    Edit: Did nothing but art (woodworking, live in a 115 year old Victorian - it ever ends) and a moderate bike ride today.. but listened to the Good Ole GD the whole while. Started at 7 am with 06/24/90 Autzen Stadium Eugene, OR which only fueled more high intensity GD.. so for the bike ride and table saw amped it up with 10/12/84 and 9/18/87 from 30 trips. Good golly. I realize 30 trips got mixed reviews.. but they are just wrong, it's pretty freaking awesome when an 84 and 87 show can get someone so amped up. Perhaps not my best purchase but, well.. No Regrets. Diplomatic enough?

    Back to your previously scheduled June '74 GD.

    Tales from The Gorge, A Dead Head Story (part 1)

    Hey now Dead Rockers......first let me apologize for my long absence. Landed back here in KC a week ago today at 4am, fresh from a 10 day trip to the beautiful PNW....back to work last week and then Friday a very large tree uprooted from our back yard and fell on our power lines, so we have been without power and internet for most of the past weekend, but onward!!!!

    Although I have been only lurking here the last few weeks, I have still been keeping up and appreciate the call (Oroborous) for my return......and so now that I have taken the opportunity to get everything exactly perfect, let my inspiration flow till my tale is told and done........

    Me, Mrs. Casey, and her brother (brother in law-BIL), all caught the red-eye into Seattle from KC on the night of June 6th. By the time we scooped up our bags and negotiated the rental car lines it was 2:30am. We checked into a blue light cheap hotel there by Sea-Tac that I had booked months before in preparation for our drive to the Gorge for two nights of Dead & Company. In the morning BIL and I hit the nearest dispensary to load up on some legal party favors while my wife finished getting ready to go.

    Now I’ve been to Colorado since legalization, but the “Cannabis Clinic” we found was on a different level than anything I’ve experienced before. There were a lot of options and we took full advantage., and the bud tenders were of course very helpful…..
    “What would you recommend for pre-rolls”, I say…..
    ”Do you like Indica or Sativa”, she asks,
    “both”, I answer!
    “Hash Infused”?
    “Sure that sounds Grate”!
    Went through a similar process with some other goodies, and out we came 30 minutes later with 4 tubes of pre-rolls (hash infused and also Willie’s Reserve), a couple grams of flower, 2 oil cartridges, a new pen (Seattle Seahawks – 12th Strain branded - for the oil), a couple packs of chewable candies, and last but not least, a plastic syringe filled with some hashy goo which we found to be very applicable to the candies….
    “Be careful with this she said”, “Only rice grain size portions”…..
    “Sure, no problem” I say…….(smile, smile, smile), out we go, back to pick up the Mrs., sharing candies along the way, and on to our hotel at Moses Lake about 40 minutes east of The Gorge.

    After stopping for lunch, and a very scenic 3 hour drive through the mountains and over The Columbia River (wow, what a site), we rolled into Moses Lake about 1:00pm. First stop….the liquor store, to load up on IPA for me, Jack Daniels for BIL & wine for the Mrs., a bag of ice, plus a disposable cooler if we could find one. I asked the liquor store dude if he had any styrofoam coolers, but no dice. Payed for everything else and walked out…..then, just as we were loading up I spotted some old buckets that someone had piled up…looked like trash in front of the store….and just like that we had a cooler  Time to check in to the room

    Ok, for those who already know the background story on my choice of accommodations, I apologize, but I think for context it bears repeating. I planned this Dead & Co tour stop in connection with my in-laws 40th Anniversary Celebration to be held on the Oregon Coast the following weekend (what timing….couldn’t believe my luck). I would have preferred to camp, and my wife agreed to do so, but she is no Deadhead, or camper for that matter, and so she only agreed to one night. I of course wanted to see both nights, and BIL also wanted to come to a show, so in compromise, I offered to purchase the VIP package which included 2 tickets to each show, 2 nights hotel accommodation in Moses Lake, plus bus ride to and from each show. Needless to say, she agreed, and so here were leaving the liquor store and on our way to the hotel.
    When we get there and walk into the lobby it is a quarter till 2:00 and there are already 25-30 Heads milling around in the lobby. The guy at the desk tells me that they are all waiting for the ticket packages that would be handed out at 2:00. First bus to The Gorge leaves at 3:00, 2nd bus at 4:00……that means BIL and I have 1 hour to check in, get ready, get our tickets/wristbands, and then be across the street to load up for the first bus.

    Back in the room we start getting ready and stocking supplies. Gonna be a little nip to the air tonight so I wear some jeans, one of my Courtney Pollock Tie Dye’s, Bolt hat, and my bright green Morning Dew sweatshirt tied around my waist for the later chill. I load up one plastic tube with 4 or 5 pre-rolls, pocketed my oil pen plus cartridge and then grabbed a half a handful of stems and caps that someone had mysteriously packed inside of my zip up shorts pocket that I had stuffed in my checked baggage…...what luck!!! Next we stock our new disposable cooler bucket full of IPA’s, bottle of JD, couple Cokes, and some ice. BIL is in his 30’s, about 10 years my junior and 13 years my wife’s little brother, and so before we go, she makes sure to tell me not to lose him….make sure he gets back OK! Of course, Of course…no worries BIL and I laugh!!!!! Now up to the lobby to grab tickets just before 3:00, and out to the bus….do I have everything? Nope, Oh shit…….I forgot THE BUTTONS!!!

    Here’s the background on THE BUTTONS….I think most of y’all know Agent Jeff Smith from our boards here, but if you don’t you should, because he’s one of the coolest Heads around these parts, always quick to share his fine art work of making our Dave’s Pick’s and Box Sets Digital Album covers pop with High Definition detail. Earlier this year, Jeff had helped me acquire some GD digital shows that I was missing from my collection, and in his mail parcel he included a button that he had made for the Dead & Co Boulder shows last summer. After seeing Jeff’s Boulder button, I asked him if he wouldn’t mind designing me a button for the upcoming Gorge trip and he kindly obliged with one of the coolest designs I could have imagined (see my avatar). I ordered 200 of the 2 and ¼ inches in diameter with sparkle background for the shows.

    Back to the room…grab 100 of the buttons, run across the street, and then finally after 28 years of being of being a GD fan, I AM ON THE BUS…..which is a fucking Greyhound!

    No folks, although we were just a few hundred miles north from where the famed vehicle now rests and rusts, this was no Kesey bus. There was no day-glow graffiti, or Merry Pranksters riding on top. The music was not blaring shows from long past as it should be, nor were there any stray travelers looking to hop aboard. And thank God Cowboy Neal was not at the wheel, because I don’t believe we would have had enough defibrillator machines to account for the carnage. Not surprisingly BIL and I were the only ones on the bus who had thought forward enough to bring a bucket full of beers, and so we sat quietly sipping beers and sucking on our oil pipes and eating edibles, hoping against a last minute ransack by the group of aging hippies on our supplies..

    After arriving at the scene/parking lot, and not listening closely to instructions about how to get back to The Bus……we straggled off with beer bucket in hand down the Golden Road (walking path) to the entrance of The Gorge, and things were starting to pick up as we were high steppin’ in to town, it was a rainbow full of sound…..there were fireworks, calliopes and clowns, and everybody was dancing!!!

So Charlie twisted my arm till I called Uncle and so I revisited the 1970 FE Road Trips (one of my favorite in the series). I walked away with the same impression I had before (surprise).

For the period.. and compared to other 2 track 1970 shows release prior.. the sound is terrific, which is why I like it so much. The acoustic stuff in particular is vintage and really quite special. The Dark Star is quite nice, I am not sure it made my top 20 though. It suffers from the early show late show hurry up (I think), but that being said it is quite spectacular and the recording is excellent. That's If For The Other One is really something though, they gallop right from start at breakneck, bass thumping speed. ..but those first few bass chords are like a 9.0 earthquake.. horrible destruction, reckless and cruel. Then.. and we can tell because the recording is so good.. Bobby says hey slow it down, I can't (couldn't make out the rest).. and the slow it down and it seems to lose some thunder.

Anyway.. didn't mean for this to be a show review, I think just for the acoustic material it is must have, top shelf.. and about to get re-released from All Gone. So get it. I also think they should just leave the songs in the order they were performed in.. I mean.. well.. don't do that anymore guys. Moving around the song order to save a few bucks is shitty.. charge us an extra couple bucks and give us an extra disc and let things be exactly as they were when it was performed.

A top shelf release, I hope between Charlie, Keithfan and this post we have convinced a few to pony up and get this while it's not sold out and for those that have it give it another try. A Voice from on High and Cold Jordan alone justify the cost or the need to re-listen. Really special stuff (at least to this head). The early show late show shuffle is something that just does not lend itself well to an acid band that was more at home doing a five hour, two set + encore show. If that makes sense. P.S. don't change around the song order no more! :D

David Duryea.. you still out there?

I think I got this one... :-) Oh God though I'm a bit nervous...

Who wants to do a mock interview? :-P

P.S. 5-15-70 Classic. Just imagine if more 1970 were recorded. One can only dream.

P.S.S. Recently lost my FiiO X1 with 3 count 3 memory cards 2 were full up with Dead, the other was a variety of other stuff. Goes to show the importance if backing up your data (Which I did). Some lucky feller out there had a nice find! :-O

I hate the Bruins. But you will never see a more egregious trip and non-call in your life. Even Bozak knew it was a penalty.

Once again the referees blow another game altering call.

Just be yourself man.. Having the technical chops is important, but being yourself is everything. Nobody wants to hire a robot (except perhaps Dead.net).. Let yourself shine through is the best advice I can give.

It's how I got into Stanford (in addition to my mom hiring someone to take my SATs and photoshopping my face pic over some kick ass rower). Anyway.. bygones.

You will do fine and at the very worst.. make new contacts and improve your interviewing chops (which makes us more marketable). One way or another...

Relax, take a deep breath and whatever you do, don't get sucked into the who's better Phil or Bobby debate.

Be competent, confident and be likable.

Edit: Ixnay on the Tie Die.

Cumberland Blues.. a quintessential Americana song (or is it)? There are many possible origins
- The Cumberland Valley (The Great Valley), following what is essentially interstate 81 from central PA to Tennessee but wide enough to encompass parts of Virginia, Maryland and Kentucky
- Cumberland County Kentucky
- Cumberland Mountains (Mountain range located in western Virginia, eastern edges of Kentucky, and eastern middle Tennessee)
- Cumberland Gap (See Cumberland Mountains)
- Cumberland Narrows (west of Cumberland, Maryland, along Wills Creek, with Haystack Mountain on the left and Wills Mountain on the right). Wills creek is a classic local Class IV+ kayak run that at most runable water scares the shit out of me.
- Cumberland MD (City at the heart of the Cumberland Narrows)
- Cumberland River (In Tennessee)
_______________________

Or.. perhaps a historic county of North West England that had an administrative function from the 12th century until 1974.

Weird, related trivia. From Terrapin Station, "Down in Carlisle He Loved A Lady, Many Years Ago"
As far as I can tell.. there are only two geographic references to Carlisle that I can find. One a small city in South Central PA, at the beginning of the Cumberland Valley [at the junction between the PA Turnpike and Interstate 81] and one in Cumbria UK (See Cumberland UK, above).

I don't pretend to be an expert on the geography of the UK.. perhaps Daverock or someone else can confirm or deny my weirdness, but more or less all the Cumberland references in the US are in the Cumberland Valley and there is the town of Carlisle within, and the other reference is in Cumbria, the term Cumberland first appearing in 945 ad which also contains a town called Carlisle. Weird??

Dig deeper and I am not sure you will find Hunter reveal the true site of either Cumberland or Carlisle. So it could be either one or a purposefully vague reference to either / or / both. I'd like to think Cumberland, MD.. an old coal town where the lyrics make perfect sense.. but of course I am only saying that because it's close to where I live. Who knows, I guess it doesn't matter anyway.

Good night.. sorry for the long strange post.

This would go tp my comment on why people want releases sentimental v. quality. For me Cal Expo was downright uncomfortable. Saw some quality music but hot dusty and so on. I buy every release but I could wait for them. After the Greek I could fly back to the spectrum

...I’m sad to hear of Dr. Johns passing. His musical Genius with live on thru his Albums, past concerts and interviews.
For my good friends 60th birthday party celebration many years ago, we had Dr. John perform at the ‘Norwood, NJ ‘ American Legion’ along with members from the ‘Meters’. With a horn section too! 😎
They put on a fantastic performance that night. I have a recording from the soundboard.
Ill never forget that celebration birthday party for Bobby D. One of my favorite shows I’ve had the privilege to be apart of, I helped the band set up & break down their gear and helped the sound man in charge that night. God bless, Dr. John! I’ll see you in the “great big concert in the sky” in all good time...

...greetings everyone on this beautiful Friday morning. I headed to my beach house sometime late to day for a much needed beach, ocean and sun getaway. We have had a family home for the past 60 years on Long Beach Island, Branaget Light, NJ a few blocks from the Historic ‘Lighthouse’ On the Island. The island is only about 18 miles long with only one main road, to no suprise called, ‘ Long Beach Island boulevard’., that runs the entire whole length of the island. Just one of the many beautiful parts of New Jersey’s Ocean communities that runs along the east coast. I’m packing some Grateful Dead music to take along...any suggestions for some good ol Grateful Dead music to enjoy by the ocean side my brothers & sisters?! (Over the years, 2 releases have always follow’d me down, Grateful Dead - ‘Dead Set’ *upgraded over the years to the 2004 Reissue Expanded’ and the best of ‘Skeltons From the Closet’ , lol)...
* Starting my day off with Dicks Picks #16.
It was recorded by ‘Bear’ on November 8, 1969 (with one song from the previous night's show) at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, California. It contains the first live performance of "Cumberland Blues", one of my favorite songs from the Grateful Dead repertoire...🤠✌️
Have a grateful day everyone, peace be with you All ! 🙏❤️😎

I started the car ride with the June 7th 1977 Scarlet Fire. After reading your comments about That's it for The Other One Jim, I think I'm going to hop over to Road Trips 3.3 and check it out. I hope there's a drum solo in this one . That's right - I remember the volume and number. It's rare but it's not unusual. I used to just call it The Beast From the East. Oops. Terrapin Station just started. I can't turn this off. The Terrapin mood has taken hold. And I can hear what Bobby's playing. It's rare but it's not unusual.

P.S. - I'm psyched for the bonus this coming today. Should have taken off work.

I believe folks, that the March 18th 1971 show from The Fox (in the box set 30 trips) is one mighty overlooked show. If it had been a Dave's picks, I think it would have been regarded as one of the best. I think everybody acknowledged it was a good show, but it just didn't get the fanfare and focus because it was one of 30.The show is near perfect. The audio quality is near-perfect, the performance is near perfect, the energy level is high, the setlist is outstanding. It wasn't Dark Star night but the other one is in there. And personally I enjoy pig pens Hammond's work on this one, as it is a bit more prominent in the mix. And it might very well have the best big boss man I've ever heard.

Jimbo - That Other One was a sizler - good recommendation. Just pulling into work now - off to never-ever land.......

....I did not get this when it first came out for some reason - but I've noted it is going to be re-released soon (I found it on Amazon) so I pre-ordered it. I'm not sure I've ever heard this one....but the various references and writes up here have intrigued me fo sho.

Happy Friday Folks. Dead & Co at The Gorge this weekend; we know of at least one happy person from these here boards attending...I'll be watching on the 80 inch assuming I can make it that late again (I 've been three for four so far); these west coast shows are tough in that regard. Coffee starts around 5 PM....

Bring it!

Sixtus

What song is from the previous night? I have 11/7/69 and both shows follow Deadlists set lists…11/7/69 is interesting for 'The Star-Spangled Banner' played on a slide whistle after 'Mama Tried' by an audience member no less…only at a Dead show (LOL). Just curious…and I enjoy your posts…ALWAYS positive!

i agree that this st louis show is prime example of spring 71 that rivals the april fillmore and feb portchester runs in playing and sound quality, i have often thought that this Other One version is one of the greatest single drummer/no keith versions out there, kinda like the 4/28 skullfuck version but longer! would have been a great show even without the Caution but that certainly seals the deal, i was surprised back when folks were rating 30 trips shows and this one wasnt very high on most lists

If we're going with one venue over multiple years how about a Spectrum box? There are three great '73 shows to start with, assuming '68 DNE in the vault. And '72 was Dick's 36. That leaves 50 other shows to choose from to spice up the '73 ones.

I'm really into Dave's Picks Volume 30. There are some places where the symbols are piercingly loud. Only complaint.

Charles Wright and the Watts 103rd Street Band - Together, the song Do Your Thing is the highlight for me on this one.
Charles Wright and the Watts 103rd Street Band - In the Jungle Babe, dig that funky soul goodness.
Charles Wright and the Watts 103rd Street Band - Express Yourself, the song Express Yourself is fantastic, I don't think you can play it too loud, and the remake by NWA is pretty cool as well.

The "Fox From The Box" is awesome stuff, and especially Truckin' Wharf Rat Other One Caution (in some similar order).

I was at Roosevelt Stadium for the 6/7/74 ABB show. My 2nd ABB show. Grinderswitch opened as was often the case in those days. A fine band in their own right. I saw the same show 3 nights later in New Haven. So gd hot in the ole Coliseum that I thought I was gonna melt. ABB actually took a break after only 3 or 4 songs to cool off. Probably did some coke and Heinekens and then back out for a show that was hot in more ways then one!

How many of us have said something and then wish we had not said? Everybody! Sure, I did not like Butch's take on the GD drummers but if he did really say it, so be it.

After all, it has been reported that Jerry said "Of course we (the GD) read books a lot in our spare time. After all, we are not the ABB"! I found that one to be quite funny & telling.

I loved the ABB before I got converted to a Dead Head. Sure, they are not as exploratory or as psychedelic, but in their lane they are better then about 99% of the music out there. I have always held the Fillmore East concerts in very high regard. Give me some You Don't Love Me anytime!

Rock on

Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers are both excellent, no question. As HBob noted, the Fillmore East concerts are great stuff. Based on my enjoyment of the original ABB Fillmore East release I picked up the ABB The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings edition which I believe includes the complete run of those shows. The song lists are pretty repetitive, but there are variations that make it worthwhile.

As good as the Fillmore East stuff is, I would have to go with the ABB Live at Ludlow Garage 1970 if I could have only one. The performances of Dreams and I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town are both transcendent, and Every Hungry Woman rocks. If you have not heard Live at Ludlow Garage, do yourself a favor and check it out. I am spinning it now, because once I started thinking about it I felt compelled to put it on. Dreams rolling out of my speakers now...

Well, here's the big reveal. 6/3 Cold Rain opener. Now you all can get a glimpse of me and Mrs. Big groovin' at around the 4:50 mark. That's me in the flannel shirt and the missus in the dark glasses. Anybody on this tour and near the stage will be able to find themselves, no doubt.

p.s. HBob, yes Grinderswitch! Went out a bought "Honest to Goodness" the next day.

I was wondering if anyone has heard about the dead playing in Billrica MA. I have an old tape labeled just 'Billrica MA.' . No date or set#. I've had it for years. Want to know from you guys. I would rather find it here instead the net. Thanks.

Cool,thanks. Now I know. I thought it was somehow an old tape recorded over with the dead and someone forgot to put a new label on. Strange. The mystery has been solved. How could I have missed that on archive. I must be a dimbulb. Call me mr. Dimbulb.

...."the front page of the internet". It's pretty much a site where you can look up countless subreddits about different topics or discussions. AMA stands for Ask Me Anything. you can ask questions and the person replies in real time. Donna did one last year that was fun. Reddit is tricky to get the hang of, but once you do, it's pretty neat.

Thanks.

.... wow, that setlist on paper looks fantastic. I've never heard of that show, and Billerica is not far from where we reside outside Boston. Who'da thunk The Grateful Dead would have ever played a show in Billerica Massachusetts.

I must check it out at this moment! It just so happens all the kids are in bed and the wife is out doing errands.

Yea,I remember in the early 90s I called up Dead ahead with bill Gans and requested big Boss man and I mentioned the billrica tape to him and he said "really, I never heard that show, I'll check that out"" and he ended up putting that conversation on the radio when he played bbm. And when I got home and checked my answering machine, about 10 of my friends left a message saying they heard me on the radio! That was my 15 minutes of fame. Actually 1 minute of fame. Cool huh. P.s. I live in Southboro MA.. Close to billrica. By the way the Estimated on billrica is on of the finest I've ever heard. Jerrys guitar says "bababababa ba ba ba baba.

Would you shit if the billrica forum was Dap 31? With that Estimated version, it should be. Jerrys guitar after Bobs last "na na na na" is just goosebump producing!!

Damn......would never have guessed or known. We called that place the Tully Forum when I was a kid and the University of Lowell hockey team played there then. I guess U-Lowell must have sponsored the Dead show. Lots of local kids played hockey there as well, including high school teams. Crazy. Was too young for Dead shows in '79, but I did play some hockey there that year as a kid. Also saw the Talking Heads around '83 there a few years later. (Also a U Lowell concert, as I recall.) But really it was a local hockey rink and not a music venue. Don't recall other shows there at all. This Lowell born boy will have to give this show a listen. Love me my '79, but have my doubts about the acoustics. Guess they didn't build the Worcester Centrum until '82 or so. Learn something new about the GOGD every day.

These last ten posts, along with old war stories, and the connection with kind members of the human race, not too mention all the groovy things we learn about the band and their music, that’s why I make time to come hang out here. Thanks to you all, and too all a good night!
