Grateful Dead

I second the dual release idea, KIDDD. Great idea.

Also, just got a shipping notification For Dave's 41 and I'm usually on the later end of that stuff. It's always interesting to see how stuff is going to shake out on the first pick of the year :)

Happy Tuesday, all!

7/13/76. Orpheum Theatre

So here we are, four days before the official release, and DaP 41 is already for sale on ebay ... for three times the list price.

Unless I missed a post or 2, I believe this is the 1st post to say Vol. 41 has arrived!! I'm here in Wisconsin, so surprised we have yet hear from our good folks on the west coast.

Look forward to popping it in tomorrow while I work away.

Get well soon Mr Ones. You're right - music is indeed the best.

My bad. Was going off of memory from a comment DL made a few months after the return of the ABCD shows. He said, "Alas, we have no tapes of the January-February 1979 shows in the vault. If we did, I expect they'd be circulating widely. I also expect shows like Nassau and maybe one or two others from those two months would have been released by now if we did. The only show we have is Keith and Donna's last, and I'm not certain how complete it is, or how good the quality is."

I am guessing he had an inventory of what was returned at that point, but hadn't had time to listen to all of it.

I would be good with 2/17. Greatest Story Ever Told is one I'd like to hear from that era. Also looks like it has Shakedown, Miracle, and From the Heart of Me.

Listening now. By my count this is the 15th May '77 show that has been officially released. I am elated to hear this show...and sad that there are not 100 more May '77 shows to release. Thanks to the band, the crew, Betty, like-minded heads, Dave, and Rhino.

dead.net is so funny…..not. People are listening to this new show, and I haven’t even gotten a damn shipping email. Ridiculous

Edit: makes me more grateful than ever for people like Charlie Miller and others who are already circulating these SBD’s in pristine quality already. I don’t know why I even bother to order this Daves Picks series.
Then you have this thing selling out while pirates on ebay gobble them up and charge $80 plus for this show. Something stinks me thinks……

Metallica - and Justice For All.
Joan Jett and The Blackhearts - Bad Reputation.
Tedeschi Trucks Band - anything they do.
GOGD - Dave's 39 - Spectrum '83.
Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell.
🤘✌
No shipping notice here either adedhed68.
I have enough music already, said no one.

Feb 17 1979, Keith and Donna's last show, has the best-performed first set of any Dead show I attended (and I've listened to it many times since, and of course countless other shows, and still feel that's so for any concert of theirs I know).

Indeed, very recently Hazard put up an entire 1st set from Europe 72 - April 17, 1972, Tivoli to be exact- I was utterly SHOCKED at how good the video is - like, 4K quality, in color, totally pristine. This is obviously the "real" video and begs the question WHY stuff like this is just sitting on a shelf (officially). That one is definitely worth checking out; there are other clips from earlier eras, but that is the most complete that I have come across - so far - prior to 1974.
He pushed out the 2 Warlocks/Hampton '89 shows last week also, and I am seeing several of the Spring '90 shows popping up this week so far.
It's currently a flowing faucet for our enjoyment and discovery.

Sixtus

I did go over to the channel after feeling stupid for asking (why not answer my own question?). But I didn't immediately see any "vintage" shows. So I went back to work.

I will dial back tonight for that Tivoli '72 show, trust me!

Again, I wonder if, for TPTB, video of different sources and/or synching music, and/or the market for synched video is too weak to risk the time and money. A couple reels of tape maybe the much more certain bet.

But watch them produce some of this stuff this year, if you like "variety." Maybe I'm wrong about '80s tapes coming our way and they've produced a box with video. We'll know this summer.

Justice now providing me with the auditory caffeine I need at the moment

I think 10/18 & 19/80 from the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans would make a great box set. Two acoustic sets and 4 electric sets; the Dead played really good at those shows.

I have mixed feelings about watching shows on video-dvd - blu ray, whatever these days. It's very different from just listening. I find myself watching the guitarists hands to see how they do certain things-which I don't often consider when I am just listening. Sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn't. I wonder if I would listen to 12/31/78 more often if I had a cd of it and not just a dvd. Although it is great to watch Jerry lean into that solo on "Johnny B. Goode." I get distracted by how the people look, too. As in.... cor - he looks a bit rough! And look at her dancing about. I don't tend to drift away as much watching a video.

With that Veneta Oregon August 1972 show, I like watching it for half an hour or so - but "Dark Star" appeals to me more not watching them play it. I suppose I like what it does to my imagination - and watching it keeps me in mind of the physical reality of the show I am involved in. Unless of course I close my eyes, which rather defeats the object of the video.

CDs travel better than video

I can't do a DVD while driving or sitting on the deck or whatever

it's also difficult to have a DVD going unless I have the house to myself. which is rare.

but I sho' ain't complaining about DVDs....

Agree. Never been one to sit and watch live shows.

Worst of all worlds sometimes, crummy sound unless you tv is sound ready. You watch for how someone plays a piece and just when they got to the jam, cut to bouncing babe in front row or on someone's shoulders! I always think show ALL the players in little boxes for the "hand" work,,, pull back shot of stage for lyric area.

I take the vid when it comes with something, but I don't but per se.

Maybe these responses reflect that there's a limited market for DVDs, but I also think that if they released, say, the Euro '72 show that was shown at a MUATM, we'd all buy it.

I too cannot sit for long and watch video, even of Jimi. But it makes me realize that what worked for MUATM was the modest crowd of Deadheads around me with great sound and the classic sound of beers being opened or the little lights indicating a vape pen in action. And people hooting as one of the boys pulled a move.

As for Jimi, I have a small group of four who gather for a weekend lunch and an hour or so of viewing new video or listening to new audio as it surfaces. We've all been involved in a tight, worldwide network of traders from the '70s and '80s that really took off when digital came along, because suddenly you weren't fifth in line for a 5th gen tape. The collective aspect of viewing/listening seems to work best in this neck of the woods. Unfortunately, the next MUATM might be some time off.

About the only time I can sit still for 2 hrs these days is for my delving into film noir and my beloved Three Stooges. They're the test of mental health. If I don't laugh out loud at each episode I know I'm in a deep funk.

Kinda nice to know that a loud, ripping spring '77 show is on its way. Gotta hit Listen to the River again tonight. Got the friggin' boot off my foot today after 6 weeks isolated at home, yet still gotta do another two months of rehab to be ready for April in the high desert. Makin' progress. And I got nothin' to bitch about when the world's hurting.

Maybe that's the thing - I watch dvd's and listen to music on my own. Maybe if there was few of us, it would be more fun watching one. I used to like videos, though. I watched The Dead Movie countless times when I first got it. It was great watching people who I had previously just heard and read about.
I prefer to listen to most Jimi Hendrix now than watch and listen, too. I much prefer to listen to the cd of the Isle of Wight show than watch it. Same with Atlanta 7/4/70. Although watching Woodstock still works for me-especially the last 30 minutes or so.

If a Dead dvd came out of a 1972 show, though, I would definitley get it. I suppose like the cds-if one came out from a year I like, I would get it, but I wouldn't bother with one from a year I'm not so keen on.

Have many concert DVDs and Blurays, generally only buy Blurays now if they are available because of the higher quality video and audio.
Bought 8-27-72 on BluRay even though I already had it on DVD. The Rush 40 Bluray box has spectacular audio and video quality (except Rio which is 720p, but still good audio).

GD, Hendrix, Floyd, Stones, Who, Led Zep, Rush, Woodstock, Monterey. I like to see the band playing, especially those concerts that happened when I was too young.

I also watch the videos on utoob. There’s a lot of GD and JGB shows from MSG where the camera is in the same place. Someone had a good operation going.

I would love video Boxes from Alpine 89 and Tinley Park 90, we know that the video exists because we have seen it. 7-21-90 was played on a Shakedown Stream.

I don’t always sit on the couch and watch the whole video, but have it playing for the audio and sometimes look at the tv (can see tv from kitchen).

There is a market for video. My god, they are selling glasses, aprons and axes. I think they could mix in some video here and there. The Blu Ray from the Giants Stadium box with the Blu Ray mix from the 91 show is some of the best music I have ever heard. Sounds unbelievable on the right system.

Going through the collection

Found 11 17 78

Acoustic from Loyola, methinks

Like a pack of powdered sugar donette gems

Others for the "current listening" case

11 13 78
11 14 78
2 3 79
7 1 79

I think videos are really cool. The Playboy after Dark video, 12/31/78, all the videos from Winterland, there was a camera filming all the shows. The Garcia videos from the Sweetwater with Sammy Hagar and Elvis Costello, the Festival Express videos, the Garcia & Griisman videos from the Warfield, and on and on. That stuff is all fantastic.

.....it's not called A/V for nothing.
I like this discussion more than current world events btw.
Music soothes the savage beast.
Playing some JGB....8.10.91. Eel River.
Yummy.
Don't hate on the glasses deadvikes.
It's my current fetish. Lopes got the apron. JiminMD got the axe.
Going to Melvin Seals & JGB Friday. Never checked them out. Hearing good things about them so I guess it's high time I do.
Kadlecik on board.
Blue Oyster Cult is popping in for a gig here soon as well.
Had tix for the Go-Go's here on NYE, but they had to cancel. Don't laugh.
I'm an 80's kid. Turned 12 in 1980. Just when I started to appreciate music. Back In Black.

I like it both ways.. listen or listen and watch.

If they ever release the MC5 live at Tartar Field July 1970 I will but it in a heartbeat - Kick Out The Jams - incredible!
Another good one on youtube is Quicksillver Messenger Service playing "Who Do You Love" from 12/1/73. Terrible picture but incendiary guitar playing - especially from Gary Duncan.
The last one I watched at home was Black Sabbath's last gig in Birmingham in 2017.
Another one I watch quite often is Lynrd Skynrd at Knebworth 1976 - especially "Freebird". I was at that one-but out of my mind-so it's weird looking at it again on a big screen here at home, in circumstances that are a million miles away for the ones I found myself in at the actual gig. Peering at the screen to see if I can see myself-shoulder length hair the colour of fire. That's then, not now.

The thing with the videos, at least for me, is they really are a bit of social gel - it's a great way to say to a buddy (or a few), come over, let's throw a show up on the 80-inch, hang out & groove. Turn the lights down low, turn the volume up, crack some bevvies, smoke some weed (maybe pop a couple of caps) and then just have at it.

There is a "pit" down close to my screen, near the sub for close up dancing down front; you can chill out on one of the couple of couches, or dance & groove like a madman in the back - all within the confines of a warm and comfortable environment with zero rules - only to have fun and try to seize on some fine moments. You can chit chat without offending anyone, you can take a break if needed (pause) and your half-time can be as long or as short as you'd like to keep things at the proper flow.

I've also been known to host DeadZooms, wherein peeps from wide and far all get on the zoom and we start the show at the same time so at least you can have a bit of dialogue and/or mutual appreciation for what is being watched & heard. Clearly not ideal, but given the alternative it fills a void. And it's great fun.

Just another way to take-in your Good Ole GD - it can be consumed myriad ways to impactful effect.

Totally hooked on Attics of My Life. I was curious about the meaning and Googled it. The comment I read from Robert Hunter was brilliant: "if I could say it in prose I wouldn't need to write the song. Poetry is evocative - it's meant to communicate to deeper levels and approach the levels of non-verbal experience."

Well that pretty much cooked my noodle.

I count only three officially released versions from the 70s:

5/15/70 Road Trips
6/6/70 American Beauty Bonus Track
9/27/72 Dick's Picks 11

The 6/6 bonus track came from a four-night stand at the Fillmore West (Sixtus, this is the show you pointed me to with that awesome Jam after Alligator). The soundboard from the archives site sounds good. There's some sloppy play on a couple of songs but I think this would be a pretty good release once it got the full Norman. It's a short show oh, so that got me wondering if the other three nights were recorded. Is anyone familiar with the show's? I don't have time to go to the archive site and check it out now, so I am curious if the audio is as good on the other three nights as it is on June 6th.

Should be getting my Dave's Picks 41 tomorrow. Maybe I'll get lucky and it will show up today. Uncle Gary - thanks for this year's subscription!

Daverock, I've seen that Quicksilver video, that is a killer version of Who Do You Love they open the show with. They had a camera rolling in Winterland, I've also seen the Deads shows from 12/77. Attics is a great song I saw the Dead do an acoustic version of it in 1994, it was very cool. I always wish that they would have played it durring the acoustic sets at the Warfield Theatre in 1980.

Sixtus has a Dead centric mosh pit in front of his big screen and speaker stacks. Twirlers welcome (although I hear Mrs. Sixtus is weary of young hot female twirlers so beware).

This was my first coffee chortling event of the day, hopefully the first of many. Or as the saying will go in a post-covid world, Party at Chez Sixtus!

But JimInMD has to check his axe at the door.... and absolutely NO APRONS, just for safety reasons.

I like concert videos, I just can’t stand the way they shoot them. Kinda like Dennis et el said: you try to focus on something, and the dam Camera shots are bouncing all over the place, usually having nothing to do with the main thing happening. Though like most things, Dead videos usually aren’t as bad about that as most…
If it were up to me I’d put a camera in the same place I’d stand or put a mic: just in front of the soundboard.
I’d pull out so your seeing all/most of the stage with a main stationary camera, so like in person you can focus on what draws your attention, occasionally augmented by close ups.

The best part of videos is often the audio, depending on your system. A great trick I use is to take digital stereo straight outta the Bluray to the ML 9600, eliminates extra conversion and they often use good sounding matrix approach. Sometimes I like some of these recordings better then the official CD versions.
And we’ve got a fully immersive Auro 3D configuration which can make even mediocre stereo sound more lifelike.
But perhaps the best part is if you can see yourself!
Checked out the redo of 7/4/86 2nd last WE and there are several times Phinster and myself are clearly visible, for good or for I’ll ; ) Fun stuff!
Id definitely be down for more video, especially if it sounded as good as that 91 multitrack Giants show, PROPER!
But sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t. It’s nice to have options depending on how your pleasure tends. Agree that full Dark Star immersion is audio only with the video created in yer head.

Hendrixfreak - I respectfully disagree - that apron rocks. I'm Messy Marvin when it comes to pizza making so when I fire up Scarlet Fire (yes I named my Pizza oven) the apron gives me pockets for my timer and infrared Thermometer so when I'm cranking out the pizzas at 900F disaster avoided. The cool thing about my pizza oven is that it's portable. Looking to bring it to Sixtus's house when he has the 1st Dead.net Int'l Frisbee Golf Tourney and we can enjoy on the 19th hole!

....fully support this Lopes, my man.
Churn away, Apron and All. Clearly it serves a real purpose and offers you important sauce-protection while providing quick access to the needed pizza-maintenance toolbox.
19th hole awaits for any/all comers, come Springtime.
We'll get VGuy from the Vegas Coast; Jimmy from MD; KF from Jersey, Lopes churning out homemade pizza pies, any anyone else within the hemisphere is welcome....timing, TBD...given we've got 18+ potential inches of snow on the horizon for tomorrow/Friday night. Wooo!

Spring is an eternity away....

On your "Well that pretty much cooked my noodle" comment on Robert Hunter's poetry about Attics was spot on. Loved it!

I think the Thing about videos is that most of the time they’re one and done. No idea why that is, but I hardly ever re-watch anything. There are only a handful of movies that I have ever intentionally rewatched (that’d be the Godfather, Big Lebowski, Apocalypse Now, and Repo Man for those of you keeping score at home). After I’ve watched something, I’m usually done with it, even if it was great. Same with concert videos: I’ve listened to the Veneta show dozens of times, but I’ve watched the DVD once.

But that’s probably just me. I think the main reason we’re not seeing more videos released is Youtube. Anything you put out on video now will be posted there within days, if not hours, and unless (like Prince did) you want to employ a staff whose job it is to police Youtube and make sure your stuff isn’t illegally posted, it’s going to be available for free to whoever wants to see it. That kind of makes it hard for people to convince the bean counters at Rhino to spend a bunch of money making videos.

So I got an email shipping notice, but the tracking number doesn’t work and the Dead.net store just shows my order as “processing.” Whatever. It seems like I always get my DaPs about a week after the official release date, and that’s what I’m thinking will happen again this time. See you on about Feb 5.

Sixtus - that sounds like a great way to listen to The Dead at home. I think I need a new house. And maybe one or two new friends to go with it.
Generally speaking, I tend to feel less involved watching a screen than listening to a cd/record. It sometimes takes me a about three days to get through a film - 30 minutes here and there. The ones I have watched more than once are ones that don't tend to rely on plots for their impact. I have watched David Lynch's main films and Twin Peaks numerous times.

I got notification that 3/1/69 has been posted this afternoon. Due by next Tuesday, so it says.

Hey there, enjoying these friendly dialogs lately, checking the vid stuff on Utube, spinning up Quicksilver's Happy Trails. Please excuse me, Sixtus, its ironic that Boston friends are hitting the stores right about now with that forecast, meanwhile 100 miles away, Vermont is said to get just a couple inches. Just informed of a band called Goose, looks like excellent acoustic material, rumor has it they do Dead covers. Zack Nugent and friends are playing in Burlington next week, amazingly Jerry's Wolf will be there along with one of Bobby's old guitars. For something a little off the beaten path on said tube while we wait for #41, check out The Daily Doug number 268, a classically trained musician listens and comments on Terrapin... note his opening exhale.

So, DMCVT...talk about irony...I actually stumbled across that one - The Daily Doug - last week, and meant to rant about it here.

I won't spoil it, but hey now it was so entertaining to see a classically trained ear totally break it down and 'get it', our beloved Terrapin Station.

Goose is good, from what little I've checked out on uTooB.

That somewhat infamous Mini-Quarter Scale Wall of Sound is being utilized by a Dead Cover Band this Sunday evening, in Lancaster, PA. Local Heads Rejoice. I'm looking forward to the Future Scales Project those shows are funding....one Day, one Day...the Full Scale will come....Muah ahh ahh ahhhhhh.

Daverock...see, that's the beauty of DeadZoomin'...easy to make new friends/maintain current ones, minimal commitment to travel plans/accommodations other than trips to the loo or refresh your vessel of choice....can come and go as one pleases....no pressure situations...yet a somewhat shared experience; but agreed that a solid setup helps nudge the whole thing along a bit.

Reporting with Storm Track Blues,

And I confess:

I got through one tough winter a few years ago by buying more than a half dozen Rolling Stones vault videos. Some are fantastic, but some will drive you crazy. The music's going, Jagger's done with a verse, and Keith ramps up a solo -- while the camera follows Mick doing his stupid prancing across the stage! Or the camera is on Keith and it's Mick Taylor or Ronnie soloing. So, yeah, rock video can suck. If I recall, the Scorcese film of the Stones was pretty good, as was the Last Waltz. (Though I hated to see The Band break-up.)

Hmmm, do they make those aprons in XL? I put on a few covid pounds....

Picked up from Rough Trade in Nottingham this morning for a penny under £85 (about $114). I couldn’t find it on dead.net store so don’t know if that’s a good price.

Received this morning. God Bless The Grateful Dead!

Funny thing, just last night I was watching View From the Vault 4, which features two stadium concerts which wrapped up the 1987 6-stadium Dead-Dylan Tour. 1987 was a great year for this deadhead, it was the year I saw the most Dead concerts in my life. I saw all three west coast stadium shows on the tour. When I watched the video, I enjoyed watching Jerry's fingers as he plays such beautiful runs on his guitar, and also the interaction between Jerry and Brent. It was great to see them smiling at each other. There were some distracting special effects the director through in from time to time, but fortunately not too much. The show was excellent too.

First.. thanks Nitecat.. it's refreshing for a relative newbie like me to hear an old timer like you saw more shows in 87 than any other year.. because, well, same for me. Saw 8 CA shows, Red Rocks, Telluride, Alpine, first shows in Boston (well Boston area, Boston Proper, ...) plus many more. I had the time and saved for tickets and gas and by 88 and especially 89, responsibilities came to roost and try as I might.. from that day forward they remain (although I still try and see as many shows as I can pull off). My only Greeks and Ventura.. Love VFTV IV and videos in general, but I do sort of agree with OB.. I don't revisit them as much as I should, not sure why.

Sauce.. anyone who gets sauced needs a proper sauce staining prophylactic preferably loose fitting with a pocket for a left handed monkey wrench. They're good at keeping gooey stuff off the friggin sofa..

Finding shit.. so my older brother came out to visit today. We left early for some backcountry skiing the first part of the day. Perfect conditions plenty of snow, crisp temps balanced with plenty of sun and edibles for me. Had a blast. Got home just before the kid got out of school and planned to take him downhill skiing for the afternoon/evening. My brother reaches for his wallet and his hand comes out the bottom end.. big hole in pants, no wallet. He took three diggers, most in the first hour. Additionally, he is an avid birder and is supposed to head to India next week to catch migrating fliers and other interesting foul feathered fun. So having no wallet causes big problems when balanced with international travel. We can do this, I said.. no new snow to bury it and I don't think anyone else skied there today. Lets retrace our steps, no time to waste. ....and I found it.. about two miles from the truck and a foot off the trail close to where he last fell. About 1/4 of the wallet was sticking up above the show, made it back to the truck in record time. Drove home as fast as one can drive and call it safe, made the last two hours of downhill skiing before resort closed, got some BBQ to go on the way home, just finished eating. Whew.

What does any of this have to do with the GD. It has everything to do with the GD, what else am I going to listen to?
Starting with 7/17/76 of course. What a great day ....and HF, no, I did not bring my hatchet. That's all I've got. As you were.

I'm quite into concert videos, and if they get some good film of the Dead from '65-'77, I'm likely buying it. Would love one of those Acid Test videos to be released on something if a whole Viola Lee exists and is in the Vault or if they work out a deal with whatever Merry Prankster may have it. The footage they shot for TV doing their new single Golden Road would be good if that's in the Vault. Or if more of Europe '72 was captured on film. Any Wall of Sound footage, like the Last Shows at the Winterland in '74... For '76, it'd be nice to get an official, cleaned up release of 8/4/76, paired with cds like Sunshine Daydream. I don't really care that it's in black and white. It's a great show that exists complete in both formats, and would make a great combo release.

My love of concert film is derived from The Kids Are Alright and The Who 30 Years of Maximum R&B Live video with fairly good snippets of shows, and led me to tracking down bigger chunks of those shows. I got a VHS of the Who at the Isle of Wight in 1970 in 1994, two years before they released the whole show on cd, and at least another couple years later, finally the video was released. Fast forward 28 years, and I have a decent hoard of Who videos I've traded for or downloaded, and got quite a bit of Pink Floyd, too. And if they release any Duane era ABB officially on video I'll be getting that, hopefully the master of that PBS film of 9/23/70 Fillmore East is somewhere to be found. The one on youtube is good quality, slightly better than the VHS I had and VCD I still have, and I hope there's more footage of the Love Valley Festival July 1970, Duane is jumping around during Mountain Jam, and just tearing it up. Some bits of their opening set at Atlanta Pop Fest have been shared on Instagram, and a May 1971 show in Chapel Hill, NC had at least one song set to a montage of footage from the events that day. Stuff like that popping up gives hope there might be more buried in a closet somewhere. Talking Heads Stop Making Sense is also just a masterpiece of performance art, and some of the Peter Gabriel concert films I've seen are incredible as well.

Also, Couch Tour is an awesome and amazing thing that pre-dates COVID, but really hits its stride because if you wanted to watch live music, that's what you had. It's also a great way to go through an entire Phish tour without getting Wook flu, which has no mild symptoms, nor any known vaccine. And the ability to pause and go to the bathroom, YOUR BATHROOM, which is even better.

I haven't received mine yet, but I've had a recording of this one for many years. When I think of this show, I always think of the NFA. Perhaps it would be my favorite version if not for the one from Hartford 2 nights later.

....my mailbox is chrysalis. Gonna start glowing soon.

Nitecat, I was at that Oakland Dylan/Dead show in 1987, I thought the Dead played great, and seeing Garcia playing the pedal steel was really cool. My favorite shows of 1987 were the Garcia band acoustic/electric shows, those shows at the Warfield Theatre in Nov. 87 were a knockout, and the show up on the Eel River was a totally cool scene. We drove back to the Bay Area to see Garcia play at the Greek on Sunday. Bonnie Raitt was also on the bill.

My Dap 41shipped w/o ship notice. Vguy, just a small correction. 'Music soothes the savage breast'. Not beast.

Frank - I paid £79.99 for mine from a seller I have never heard of before on eBay. Rough Trade are a good shop, so I wouldn't have minded paying a bit extra to get a copy from them.
Having said that, I have just been on Amazon UK and it's shown up there for £72.00 this morning.

Sometimes the social history included in films of live rock music is more intertesting than the actual music. The Stones at Hyde Park, in 1969, features what may be the worst live performance I have ever seen by any name band. But it's fascinating watching all those people converging on Hyde Park - pontificating about this and that. "What I fink is.."
One of the highlights, for me, of the film clips in "The Early Years" Pink Floyd box is when Roger Waters and Syd Barrett are interviewed by that classical music buff, who asks why it all has to be so terribly loud.

Good to hear you listening to this show. One of my all time favs. Okie has it on utoob but it is not the complete show. I do have the whole show on cassette, but not the greatest sound. When record stores used to hang posters of upcoming shows on their windows, I was able to snag one of them. It's a day-glo orange and blue with the back of the Terrapin Station album as the center piece. Tix were $6.50/$7.50 DOS. In the late 80's an art gallery from San Francisco was also touring with the band featuring lots of Jerry's work, and Mouse was there. I got the poster signed by Stanley with the famous running mouse after his signature. One of my prized possessions.
