Grateful Dead

One time I ingested a chewy gelatinous candy that was infused with marijuana. At this time one needed a prescription for such an item in my state of residence. I did not have a prescription.

Then I listened to a Grateful Dead show from July 12 1987 which I acquired by purchasing the Giants Stadium Box Set from the dead dot net website. I did not need a prescription for this purchase.

Sometime during the Grateful Dead song 'Playin in the Band', which is track 2 on disc 2 of the Giants Stadium Box Set which is available for purchase on the dead dot net website, I started to think that a spider was crawling on me. I scratched myself furiously but it turns out there was no spider. It was just the marijuana affecting my sensory perceptions. Then I settled back in and listened to the drum solo which is track 3 of disc 2 of the Giants Stadium Box Set which is available for purchase here on the dead dot net website. The drum solo was pretty cool especially after ingesting the piece of candy infused with marijuana which I did not have a prescription for. Grateful Dead then played an abstract piece called 'space' and then I heard the familiar bass riff for their classic jam "The Other One" which is a song about taking LSD. This was track 5 of disc 2 of the Giants Stadium Box Set which I purchased right here thanks to the good people at the dead dot net website.

I guess so. I rather enjoyed reliving that story. I saw no real harm in it.

I'm being repressed!

...you trouble maker! Too subversive for tptb?

Just got my copy of The Good Old Boys, Drink Up and Go Home, it's great. Frank Wakefield is an absolute monster of a mandolin player. I used to go see him and David Nelson play when he lived out here in Oakland. He used to back talkwards, funny guy. Anyways this is a great listen.

They removed my staring at the roof of the tent post.. and a few others it looks like. I bet they would have left it in if I mentioned the shows and setlists of what we listened to that night.

Interesting.

A mother-in-law joke!!! Very few places you can use one where the audience will understand the reference. I may comment not long ago about changes in humor and the mother-in-law was a dead idea to the youth. Bill Maher has made comment about "drunks" as humor. Otis in Mayberry is one of the examples. Traveling salesmen jokes/farmer daughter jokes also to the wayside.

In any event, I smiled!

way back in 91 Phish played at the BackStage in Ballard (a Seattle neighborhood). Small place, with waitstaff and everything.

Glad I went. Of course I didn't know they would become a gargantuan entertainment draw.

This is how we learn nowadays. I googled it. Not a spider or an insect. Has 8 legs but only 2 eyes. Fused abdomen. Closest relative is the scorpion. Sounds like my mother-in-law.

Listening to Garcia 12: The Garcia dominated songs are great (Garcia very on, the sound of the band a little less 'mushed together' than later mainly because Merle is holding back at times, great recording). At times Sarah Fulcher is OK, many other times made me think, after Sarah, Donna sounded like Judy Collins to Garcia.

Next two DaP should be amazing.

One I missed even though I was there was the Stones and various bands at Knebworth in 1976. I've heard the show since, and it seems I didn't miss much. Shame I wasn't in my body for Hot Tuna though. And the Lynyrd Skynyrd (probably spelt wrongly) set, going off Freebird ,which I subsequently heard, sounds as though it could have been amazing.
