    Black and White Show

    Dennis - it seems to be available in all sorts of configurations. The one I have is called The Black and White show and has "30" embossed on the cover. It's got a cd and a dvd, with a "secret" bonus post show selection of songs on the dvd and available for download - just 5 alternative versions of songs from the main show. The main show has 19 songs, with Pretty Woman played twice.
    I've just played it again to see if it's as good as I remember it. It's not...it's better!

    I'm beginning to wonder if I should get a pet, reading some of the posts on here. The last one died about 45 years ago.

    A lot on the last few Tapers. Not one I would think of for a box though. Sometimes you just gotta poke around.
    Oro, thanks for sharing. Brought back hilarious scenes of my Japanese Bobtail who ruled the dogs. She was likely dumped in our trailer park and knew the whole place. Saw her a couple times by the dumpster and the wife tried to feed her. Eventually she figured out we had cats and did fence top traverses to get on our roof and look in the yard. The rotted overhanging rafter 2x4 broke under her weight and we found her lounging on the homemade cat condo. Decided we were OK I guess. This gorgeous beast had rear legs the size of a large rabbit and would harass the yippy little dogs a few houses away. You could tell she enjoyed it. She'd hear them yipping and jump over the 6 ft. wooden fence and then go and just sit in the middle on the drive right next to their house and stare at them until they went away. Total badass!
    Cheers

    Ok Dave, you made me buy.

    I appear to have the original cd. I just bought the re-release of the original cd, which is supposed to be re-editted, re-mastered and redone in general. Has all the songs from the tv show, put back in the order in which the audience heard them.

    Hell, it was 14 bucks for a 2 cd set,,,, what the hell.

    It was Dave recommended!

    Didn’t want to go here, but so many have shared such personal stories, and got me all choked up, which then makes me think of my dog Iko, which gets me more choked up! He was crazy as a youngin, but eventually turned into a really good, well trained dog.

    Got him in fall 82 when he was 6 weeks and just barely old enough to be taken from his mother. I picked him out of the big liter because even at like 3 weeks old, while the others wouldn’t leave momma, he was already wandering off and getting into trouble, hence the name.
    Beautiful black lab/husky with white collar, white tips on tail and feet, with cute white nose.
    Used to take him everywhere when he was little. Had a nap sack I wore backwards inside my jacket so I could shove him inside when I needed to go into stores etc since I didn’t have a car. On top of all his other wonderful qualities, he was a total chick magnet!
    Mom wouldn’t let him in the house, or even look at him because she didn’t want to go through getting attached and then having to endure losing him etc. Eventually she couldn’t help herself, he was allowed in, and they became inseparable!
    Anyway, I was constantly moving in and out and increasingly just plain gone a lot. When I moved out west years later he was so used to being there with the folks to give him regular care etc, that we decided it was best for him to stay there. It was hard for me, but best for him.
    The sad part was as he approached the end. He had been going downhill fast when I came home for Xmass in 97.
    My father said it was like he knew and was waiting for me. The vet had said he wouldn’t make it that long. After I got home, we took him to the vet again and they said that due to various reasons his temperature was so high he was burning up inside, his brain was boiling and his reason was spent.
    Said the humane thing to do was put him down, so we made an appointment and did the difficult but right thing.
    If only we could show such mercy on our peeps, but I digress.
    It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, but so glad he waited for me to come home and to be with him.
    The thing that made me realize it was time, was that he barely touched his dog biscuit/bone. He lived for those milk bone treats, but the last one I gave him he barely touched so I took that as a sign. I still have that milk bone 25+ years later. Sits in my special cabinet with my box sets and other most personal items, including a picture of him and the beer I saluted him with after his passing.
    Before, as we waited in the car, I held him and told him what a good boy he was and how much we all loved him, and how sorry I was that I had to leave him when I moved. When it was time, I held him and looked in his eyes while they gave the injection etc. Agonizingly hard, but so glad I was able to be there with/for him, especially since I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to my childhood dog. Pops took that guy while I was away because he thought it’d be easier. I was so pissed and wasn’t going to let that happen again.
    Ok, I’m crying now at a construction site getting funny looks, so what. Perhaps the deepest connection with anyone I’ve ever had!
    Like the David Bromberg version of Mr Bojangles, after all these years I still grieve. I try not to think about it too much because for whatever reason it still just crushes me, more than all the other peeps and pets I’ve lost?
    There was just something about him. But since you all brought me back to all that, figured I’d share.
    Sorry for the Debbie downer.
    So on a funnier note: lived with a cat at a friends house, actually several over the year’s. He had one black cat named Sable that was generally not a very nice cat. She used to go around the neighborhood and routinely kick the crap outta all the small dogs, forget about cats!
    She and I got along ok because I left her alone, we had an understanding lol. She used to like to hang in my room so she could be left alone. If I went in there, she’d usually just get all hissy and leave, but she never attached me like some folks. People would come over to watch football or whatever, and of course try the usual “hey kitty kitty” and try and pet her etc. She’d have none of that, especially from interlopers, her housemates she tolerated because she had to lol. So after she’d spit and hiss, and tell ‘em to fuck off and leave her be, many folks would shit talk her and call her names etc. well she didn’t appreciate that and was so smart, and vengeful, she’d sit and wait and stew until the offender was probably half in the bag and long since forgotten the cat. So just at the right time, as the clueless offenders hand was dangling beside the chair, she’d strike and boy she could do some damage if you had really pissed her off! We used to warn people, “don’t try to pet, and don’t shit talk the cat” but they usually didn’t listen. After the retribution, we’d have to say, sorry, but we tried to warn ya!
    Her favorite thing in life was racing cars. She’d wait on the side of the sorta busy street we were on, and try to run in front of cars at the last second. Pretty crazy but she loved it and was very good until Halloween night one year when she just wasn’t quick enough. Poor guy brought her to the house half dead and all upset. We told him not to worry as hardly anyone would miss her, but it was still sad, even a mean cat is still part of the family, and I never thought she was mean, just wanted to be left alone so we got along fine. In fact I liked her because she was so different!
    Ok, sorry, back to your Drumz/space!

    Yes, Roy Orbison. There's a great live cd/dvd of him in concert in 1987, called The Black&WhiteNight. 19 incredible songs sung to perfection - and with a stellar band. Not least of which is James Burton on guitar. Highly recommended to music lovers everywhere.

Sorry lads but I believe the complete tapes are not there.
Supposedly much was chopped up for Skull Fuck?
I think that’s why they did Ladies and Gentlemen: used best of what they had?
But!
A) I could be confused and thus completely wrong, and
B) we don’t know what other sources may exist?
Or do we? Someone out there surly knows more about this?

...and still not sold out! I just finished listening to each show, so this is my first pass. Took a while. I gotta say, disc 20 is a stand out. That's the third disc of the second 1973 show in the box. Course you guys already know that. Dark Star>Stella Blue>Eyes>Weather Report Suite! Sweet is right! I listened to this disc three times over three morning's breakfast, and it will bear re-listening for years to come! Multiple breath-taking jams, one after another.

he has said in interviews that they have put out all they intend to on the April '71 FE shows.

That leaves a ton of great shows in March-April '71 for a '71 box.

I am just one show shy of hearing the whole St Louis box. Then I'm going back to the second of two '71 shows in that box and CRANKING IT.

Hey, gents, ain't Nitecat The Man?? Thanks to the tapers...

Another great show, from a historic run of shows. Big Boss Man, Warf Rat , and Mama Tried, all appear on Skull & Roses from this show. Duane Allman sits in with the Dead. My favorite version of Good Lovin.

Good Lovin'

Hot
Hot
Hot

And a first set Dark Star into Wharf Rat

Wharf Rat is on Skull n Roses

Way back in 2001
Phil n Friends played east of Seattle
In the parking lot before the show I had some electric juice
As I sat there, suddenly China Rider from 4 26 71 came on

Yowzah yowzah yowzah

No electric juice since then

Great show by PnF

I wonder if the fact that Duane Allman and the Beach Boys guested means that the full run is less likely to be released. Although I think maybe one of the tracks featuring Duane came out on an Allman Brothers compilation a while back.

Drive by Truckers in a few days, same venue either day before or after is Jason Isbell and the 400 unit. Jason Isbell is with EmmyLou Harris and others. DBT with Mavis Staples and others.

Saw DBT so many times in a small clubs around here, that was when Jason was with them.

For me, also Widespread X3 and Dave Matthews 1 show coming up. Plus Primus this weekend.

May even get my country music bangor and clangor on with many artists heading this way. Trying to make up my mind on seeing Vince Gill. Probably not Brooks and Dunn or the Judds. Live music budget has to be worked out.

Waiting impatiently Dave. J/K no complaints here. Operations have made substantial upgrades in the last 2 years.

G

Also in cue possiblities are :

America
Joe Satriani
Black Crowes
Kenny Chesney
Skynyrd
are possibilities

In less consideration
Dierks Bentley
Styx and REO
My Morning Jacket

Music seen booming here.

Revised and edited.

That’s great you saw the Truckers when Isbell was in the band, quite a line up then with his wife on bass. I think they are a kick ass band, and I’m looking forward to their new record in June. As for Emmylou, I think she still has the greatest voice in her field, and I’d never pass on a chance to see her play.
I was scouring the upcoming shows today, and you’re right, a lot to choose from being summer touring season, but budgeting for it is another matter.
Ordered the “new” Fabulous Furry Freak Bros hardcover today, one of a series of four in the series. Those comix never get old!

Thinking of Beach Boys, every so often I go back over to the tube to watch an old clip of the Beach Boys backing Chicago on their song "Wishing You Were Here." It is such a great performance especially vocally. Think it is NYE 1974. Trying to remember when Dick Clark started his NYE specials.

FYI, the remastered Chicago first couple of releases are mu-nay.

Nappy! Thanks for wheelchair taper post/lync. Lots of interesting stuff there.

Auston Matthews is the first US born player to reach 60 goals in an NHL season! I’ve said this before, I grew up with this game, and he is one of the best I’ve ever seen.
Now, how about bringing that Stanley Cup back to Toronto, AM….

Orchestra to play shows in Europe to celebrate the E72 tour this September. The band will have Alligator being played by Jeff Matheson. Anybody over across the pond planning on going to any of these shows? I'm sure they will be epic.
Jeff channels Jerry very well, can only imagine the sounds he will get out of Gator.

Vguy - sorry about your boys. I told you last year that trading Alex Tuch was a horrible decision. At least now he can go golfing with some of his former teammates.

Mike - good luck to the Leafs. We all know the outcome, but I’ll back them. Other than Toronto I find almost all the playoff teams in the East unlikable.

Colorado is the team to beat. Nevertheless, I still want Canadaland to win a Cup. I’ll take the Oilers in the west and the Leafs in the east.

Good luck to some.

Definitely worth seeing.. Jeff can shred. He can't quite sing like Jerry, but he can play. If/when I venture across the pond again, I would really like to see some of those venues.

As for hockey and sports in general.. yea, the ups and downs of winning and losing. It's only a matter of time until you are on the losing end of playoffs and championships...

sorry to burst anybody's nitrous bubble, but I would rather play any DaP then listen to DSO, D & C, Wolfpack or any other GD cover band. Local band around here called Hyrider and they are all the same: marginal, terrible garage bands. Unimaginative, boring, and lame.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Jack - You’re right, the Leafs have as much chance of winning it all as Herb Tarlek did getting Lonnie Anderson’s Jennifer character to go out with him, but dim hope is better than none. I think Tampa Bay is still the team to beat, with Florida and Colorado in the running.
I’ve received my shipping notice for DaP 42 a few days ago, but based on the “low octane”postal service in these parts, I’m thinking the first round of playoffs will be over by the time it arrives.

I'd have gone to see DSO in pre covid times. See what they are like. I saw Live Dead 69 with Tom Constanten about 3 years ago, and Terrapin Truckin with Phil Lesh about 2014, I think. Obviously neither band could hold a candle to The Dead, but it was a night out with people who were into the Gratefuls, serenaded by a Grateful Dead type sound. I saw Jerry on stage at the LiveDead69 gig - his ghost, anyway. As soon as my brain registered it, he disappeared. All good harmless fun.

Sorry to read about Klaus Schulze. I may be wrong, but I think he only played on one Tangerine Dream album - the synth free first one "Electronic Meditation". Music of the Gods - it reminds me of Ummagumma a bit. Highly recommended if you haven't heard it and like pre Dark Side Pink Floyd. Klaus Schulze plays drums on it.
