It’s been a good Sunday.

....best $699.95 I ever spent. But for now, it's Nassau 3.30.90. Its got a midi Slipknot! for dangs sake!

No, Lovemy girl, I haven't got the reissue of Aoxomoxoa on vinyl. I still have the record I bought at the end of the 70s, which was the remixed version-very flat compare to the original mix. I think I'll hold off on Aoxomoxoa now until the 50th anniversary version comes out. And I'll be going for the cd, with the bonus disc, natch.

Blue Train sounds amazing-they could almost be here in my living room. I was actually looking for one of Coltrane's later albums, "Ascension" which I have read Phil credited as being an influence on the Dead's style of improvising in the late 60s. That one wasn't there, but "Blue Train" was-possibly a lot easier on the ears than "Ascension"...I will find out later on in the year, no doubt.

30 Trips is a great box-no doubt. I was back at 2/22/69 Vallejo this morning-surely one of the best shows in the box-or anywhere else, come to that.

It's on youtube, and it does indeed start late and garbled. Mystery of the past 15 hours solved. Wish I'd thought of checking youtube before I tore apart my office looking for the CD (which led to the discovery of an old Easy CD Creator program that I had been looking for recently; destroyed my Windows 10 installing it). All of this to cover my compulsion to have all of the stray live songs brought together to form a CD box set called Scattered Bones.

... a grateful Sunday to everyone! 🙏🤠
This morning I listened to the entire performance from ‘Miami Arena’, Miami FL, October 26th, 1989! One of my favorite inclusions in the ‘Big Box’ 30TATS!!!
Taken from the bands 24-track recordings, the mixing was done at Bob Weirs TRI Studios!
A powerful performance from the band and it includes one of the bands crazy far out takes of “Dark Star” and the sequence following that song is just magical. Very good multitrack recording. 🙏❤️😎 next up, July 3rd 1988 Oxford Plains Speedway, ME...

So....I have a digital copy of the bonus tracks from American Beauty. The live Truckin' from December 26, 1970 at Legion Stadium starts up late and kind of garbled, as it immediately goes into the "flashing marquees out on Main Street" verse. Can someone please let me know if this is normal for the release? Thanks!

...happy to hear you both enjoyed the show in London and made it back home safely ! 🙏
...Daverock great set of LPs you added to your collection. Speaking of reissues , the 2011release of ‘Aoxomoxoa’ was primo as well on vinyl, do you have that release in your dead collection...
...’Blue Train’ by John Coltrane lp is primo!
...Winterland 1973 boxset Primo!
It’s been a primal start of the new year 2019 so far for releases, I’m ‘Grateful’ for all of it!
Everybody enjoy your last Sunday of March & say hello to April spring flowers!... 🙏❤️😎
The bus has now become very fill and take off has begun occordindly... 🤠

There were also flyers knocking about on Friday advertising a gig by long standing Dead cover band The Cosmic Charlies-on 13th April at The Fiddlers Elbow in Camden, if you are interested. I have never heard of The Grateful Dudes, but I have seen the Cosmic Charlies a couple of times and they were okay on those occasions-once covering The Dead and once covering JGB.

Yes, it was funny how Tom fitted in with Live Dead 69. His opening solo spot seemed to subdue everyone a bit, so that when the band came on, much to Slick Aguilar's, annoyance, no one reacted at all ! He also stuck to playing the piano, from what I could see/hear, rather than organ , which was his weapon of choice with The Dead. I liked seeing him there-the man has history, after all-but I would cough up £25.00 to see this band again with or without him.

Winterland 73 - Ah sod it i’ll Bite the bullet and go for it , tell myself it’s an early Christmas present !!
Live Dead 69 - as daverock says they didn’t seem much better than your average pub band with old Tom in the corner looking like a slightly creepy old wizard , who didn’t look overly fussed to be there . Guess they wouldn’t have been able to charge £25 a pop without his name on the poster . Got a flyer on the way out for the grateful dudes ( who I’d never heard of ) so I will be checking them out next month - they seem to be a bonafide tribute band which should be nice , I know you guys over the pond have them in every state but we’re a bit lacking over here .

Mind-left-body - I’m still chuckling at the fact that your spell checker has me down as Petticoat 😺😺😺
