One more Saturday night at Winterland! Yes, we're back to home base for DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 42, the complete show from Winterland, San Francisco, 2/23/74. The one that featured the earliest amalgamation of what would soon become the Wall of Sound, the one that is so "loud, clear, and defined," it's been ripe for release for quite some time and we're glad it's finally getting its due.

First set or second, there are no wrong answers here. From the unique show opener of Chuck Berry's "Around And Around" and an incredible "Here Comes Sunshine" that would then disappear for 18 years, to a medley of WAKE OF THE FLOOD tracks - "Row Jimmy," "Weather Report Suite," and "Stella Blue" - cementing their status in the canon and an unstoppable hour through the classic 1973-1974 Dead that is “He’s Gone”>“Truckin’”>“Drums”>“The Other One”>“Eyes Of The World,” it's all exceptionally hot.

Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 42: WINTERLAND, SAN FRANCISCO, 2/23/74 was recorded by Kidd Candelario and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Grab a copy while you can.

Herbie, Jerry & Merle

Herbie Hancock is about the only one of the artists on your list that I have already, Oro. I have Maiden Voyage, Empyrean Isles, Head Hunters, Sextant, Thrust, and Man Child. I find all to be enjoyable.

1973-1974 Jerry and Merle is a sweet spot, lots of soul and jazz influences showing up in their stuff from that time, those Keystone Encores box set shows in particular are phenomenal. And an absolute highlight of the Merle and Jerry Collaborations would be Merle Saunders and Friends CD Fire Up +, that disc is on fire from start to finish, incorporating tunes that are straight soul like Lonely Avenue and Expressway to Your Heart, other stuff that is more jazzy like Save Mother Earth and Man Child, and some funky stuff like My Problems Got Problems and the phenomenal Welcome to the Basement. Merle Saunders, Jerry Garcia, Tom Fogerty, John Kahn and Bill Vitt tear it up. An album well worth tracking down if you don't have it already, just peak Jerry and Merle. CD was Released in 1992 and is includes most of the songs from the 1970s albums Fire Up and Heavy Turbulence, I think.

Another gem is Hooteroll?, a jazz fusion masterpiece from Jerry Garcia and Howard Wales. That is a great album, great to listen to from start to finish, cohesive and gorgeous music.

I think it was something in the air, 'cause there were just a lot of musical styles and genres being mixed together or teased apart into something new during that period from the late '60s to the mid-'70s. Funk flowing out of soul, jazz fusion explorations by a bunch of artists, the emergence of electronica with stuff like I Feel Love, lots of cool stuff all happening in a relatively short fertile time. Musical forms are constantly shifting, blending, and distilling new stuff through time, but that late '60s to mid '70s period seems like a particularly fertile time, especially for the mixing of jazz, soul, funk, blues, and rock and roll into new forms combining elements of each and taking them in new directions.

FTK, Soul Jazz

VGUY, that should be awesome. I read about it in Bass Player magazine. Interviews with both Les Claypool and Geddy Lee. They asked Geddy what he thought of Les trying to do this and Geddy teasingly said he was nuts!
Hopefully they’ll be a big brown beaver sighting?

CHARLIE: interesting how you heard of SJ. Even more so how many of us come to certain music, fascinating really.
I heard if it after reading an article by Michael Chabon in Rolling Stone about his at the time new book Telegraph Ave (which I liked), but in this article he gets into this Soul Jazz that I’d never heard of, and I’ve been into lots of Jazz fir quite some time. It’s hard to pinpoint and like many styles or genres it casts a wide range: from syrupy string laden Mizel brothers productions all the way to more standard Jazz played by more recognizable names. The sweet spot to me is very much like what Merl and Jerry do on say 9/1/74, or the recent GarciaLive Vol 18, or on Fire Up and Heavy Turbulence etc. I like the oft used description of “Jazz with a backbeat”.
I have maybe 2-3 dozen albums but would say these are good ones to start with:
Donald Byrd: Black Bird
Charles Earland: Black Talk and Leaving this Planet with Freddie Hubbard and Joe Henderson
Idris Muhammad: Power of Soul (title track is awesome Hendrix cover), and a (2 for 1) of Black Rhythm Revolution, and Peace & Rhythm.
Deodato: Prelude
Grover Washington Jr.: I like Inner City Blues and Mister Magic the best. Earth Tones off Magic is nice groovy mellow almost new age like? One of my favorites of his. I think Magic is a good first choice. Soul Box is pretty good too. I’d say ya might not like all the tracks on all the albums depending how your pleasure tends, but if you made an 80 minute best of from the three you’d have a super cd. If that helps? But I’d advise anyone interested to check out stuff online first.
There’s a good series of compilations out called the Legends of Acid Jazz that has some good treatments of many of the main cats, like genre guitar go to’ Melvin Sparks, and Leon Spencer, George Benson dabbles around the Soul Jazz edges. Jimmy Smith Back at the Chicken Shack is old school, and Dr Lonnie Smith is another of many keyboard/organists. One of the cool things is how like jazz, so many of the main dudes play on each other’s albums.
Many more but those are good starts.
The cool thing is it’s easy to Segway into things like MMW: End of the World Party and Uninvisble, and even on to the Beastie Boys, yes those Beasties Boys: The In Sound From Way Out and The Mix Up. I think of Curtis/Superfly as another cousin to all this. Herbie Hancock Head Hunters fits too.
To me SJ is like another kind of jazz fusion. Not the scorching Miles or Return To Forever etc, which is more rock like to my ears, but like a funky soul stew of jazz, soul and rock. Perhaps like some Motown cats played jazz?
As I say, sometimes hard to pin point, and certainly not for everyone, but to me it’s like the Garcia/licorice story.
Not everyone will like it, but those who do will love it!

Soul Jazz, Acid Jazz

My exposure to soul jazz or acid jazz is limited and mainly consists of listening to Fusion FM hosted by Roy Ayers in Grand Theft Auto IV in Liberty City, not sure if that's exactly on point. Nice stuff, a mellow, jazzy, psychedelic vibe to some of it as I recall. Mister Magic by Grover Washington Jr is on my list of future acquisitions, maybe some Roy Ayers as well, who knows once I get started in that direction, just haven't picked it up yet. Hopefully Mister Magic is before the transition to Kenny G. that you describe, Oro. Grand Theft Auto in its various iterations actually turned me on to a bunch of great stuff on the various radio stations. Cool to just drive around listening to the radio, sparking the occasional police chase or just looking for hidden stuff. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. Not a bad option as far as an option for a time vacuum. You know you're hitting the GTA a little hard when you start to notice all the unique stunt jumps when you're driving around in the real world. (GTA fiends may get it, the rest of you will just have to play the game excessively, then take a drive in the real world.)

Next box set/ Sugar Pie DeSanto & Etta James

Saw Sugar Pie DeSanto and Etta James both play at the S.F. Blues Festival, also saw Etta James play with the Dead in 1982. Next box is gonna be something from 90,91, 92, possibly Winterland March 1977. I hope its something from 1969/1970 with acoustic material included.

That’s why they play the game

To quote the great Chris Berman!
What a game! Now that was sports worth watching.
The outcome does not surprise me. The Bolts are like a bad case of the clap that just won’t go away, and I mean that as a complement!

AJS: well said as usual. I agree. Pretty much sums it all up.
MIKE: LOL. and yeah, Kadri’s “enthusiasm” can sometimes be a little nerve racking.
PF: love the cup jokes etc, and the energizer bunny, hell last night I felt like I was doing speed!
Dark-Star: good to see ya xxoo. Sounds like your the drunk yelling from the arm chair. I’m just showing solidarity for my fellow Americans, and VGUY, STOLZTY, PANCHO, PT BARNUM etc.
VGUY/PRIMUS: will they be doing Farewell to Kings? Either way should be cool! Have Fun!

CHARLIE: cool stuff, thanks for the good read! Brought up so many awesome aural memories. You guys ever check out Soul or Acid Jazz (prefer Soul as Acid is not really appropriate). Charles Earland, Donald Byrd, Idris Muhammad, Melvin Sparks, Deodato, Jimmy Smith, Dr Lonnie Smith, Grover Washington Jr. (before he went all Kenny G) and so many more. Fits right next to Curtis the Superfly Pusherman etc, GOOD SHEET MON!
Lots of crossover between Soul, Motown Jazz etc. I always felt much of what Merl and Jerry were up to fit in this category. And Disco is perhaps cousins to all this? I like to make my own sorta best of CDs, and I made a killer 2 disc version for a friends young daughter who loved disco. But we like it too, it can be fun stuff, hell folks used to dis The Bee Gees but if you really check out their music it’s pretty solid (and those boys burned like chimneys. My cousin worked on their studio and said no burned like the BeeGees) and I Feel Love, that was my opening track! And what a great stoner song. Put that on a big stereo set up with good stereo imaging, get prepped ; ) , and sit in the sweet spot and check it out. It sounds amazing and that cool auto pan stuff is right outta Healy and Mickeys bag of tricks.

Ah yes, Music, sweet, sweet music, the antidote to what ails ya and the ills of the world.
As Mr Ones would say, Music is the best! Crazy how much great music there is…

CONEKID: almost forgot ya. I can understand your ongoing feud. Took us awhile to get over the Wings lol.
And as a life long Buffalo fan for good or for Ill, it’s still hard to like the Dolphins (sorry vguy) Dallas, and I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to root for the Patsies, even without Brady and Gronk!
I’m just curious, is because of the overall war that was that great rivalry or perhaps just the Lemieux issues?
I’m trying to remember, I’ll have to look for that show you mentioned.

I Feel Love

You are correct, DaveRock, Donna Summer's I Feel Love is great, if I'm in the mood for some Donna it's either that track or Love to Love You Baby more often than not.

Sugar Pie DeSanto is awesome, one of my favorites. Soulful Dress is a great tune and she has a lot more just as good, or in a couple cases even better. I picked up a couple of CD's by her and Go Go Power, the complete Chess Singles is a smoker from start to finish, the better of the two that I picked up. Soulful Dress, Do I Make Myself Clear, In The Basement (with Etta James) and Mama Didn't Raise No Fools stand out in my memory at the moment as highlights of that collection. Do I Make Myself Clear is absolutely on fire.

And, yeah, the Stax boxes, the first three were an early acquisition for me in my soul collection, but there is also a fourth Stax Box - Rarities and the Best of the Rest - that covers some soul rarities, some gospel, and some of the other stuff released on Stax and related labels that ranges outside the soul category. That fourth one is not quite as consistently good as the first three, but it does have a few things that got in my head and my completist nature left me no choice but to pick it up.

For something from this century that sounds like it could have been released in the 1970's, check out Charles Bradley, particularly the track Ain't It a Sin. If you can watch him do Ain't It a Sin online on the you post it video site and not want to pick up some of his stuff I would be surprised. Started checking Charles out when I saw an article about his soulful cover of Black Sabbath's Changes, good stuff, cool version of the song.

And Curtis Mayfield, started checking him out when a friend suggested the Superfly soundtrack, and all it took was the song Pusherman to get me seeking out more Curtis, not to mention my dawning realization that the HBO show the Wire had a bunch of Curtis playing at various points and I dug it. Give Pusherman a listen and see if you can sit still. There's a good box set - Curtis, Keep On Keeping On, Curtis Mayfield Studio Albums 1970-974, a good way to get all his albums at once for a great price. The HBO show the Sopranos also had a bunch of soul tunes scattered throughout, I'm still looking to track down a copy of the song Sally Go 'Round the Roses by the Jaynettes. Or rather, I just picked up a copy this morning, further support for the hypothesis that I have an online shopping problem and a near pathological need to expand my CD collection.

I'll try and shut up now, but once I start down the soul rabbit-hole I can't stop.

I still have the tapes, among others

I probably taped 100+ interviews all over the country, both on the phone and in person from California to D.C., over the five years I spent documenting Roy Buchanan's life and he had an amazing breadth of colleagues. However, Dale Hawkins probably was first, then Ronnie, to hire Roy. (Dale met me at a coffee shop. I suggested we go somewhere to loosen up and smoke a joint. He goes, "Oh! I didn't know you were cool." I said, "Yeah man, I'm cool. And I've got something for you." So he said, "Follow me to my studio.") We rolled a couple -- I had taught Rollo California to cultivate and he'd done pretty well that year -- and we talked, Dale played some new recordings for me, pulled some blow out and when I extracted the half-lb as a gift, man, Dale's eyes lit up like it was Christmas! He was a hard ass, but with Southern graciousness.

Of course, a missing bit of rock 'n roll history is that Robbie Robertson picked up the "whistler" -- that high harmonic note -- created by simultaneously striking the string with pick and fingertip -- from Roy. Though Robertson, with The Band's help -- created some of the most memorable songs in rock history, Robbie couldn't shake a stick at Roy's guitar playing. Not even close.

Oddly, I pursued Robertson (and Jeff Beck) for years for an opportunity to discuss Roy's influence and they never came to the phone. Robertson had a flack named Jared who kept saying, "Robbie wants to do it, Robbie really wants to do it," but monthly calls over a several year period yielded nada. Beck on the other hand probably never learned that I called his guitar tech, my only point of contact. The tech sez to me, in a British accent: "Listen mate. Jeff's under ee-NOR-mous preshuh for the upcoming tour. He can't possible take time to talk." We've joked about "ee-NOR-mous preshuh" ever since...

Yes to all the GD show touting that goes on here; it has led me to explore my own collection. And the mention of various archival releases by other bands has pushed back retirement. I guess I should say "thanks"!

That line about enormous pressure

made me chortle

It's good to laugh, I say

Puck that hockey stick.

Could care less about hockey,,,, or is that couldn't?

But did make me pull out the classic by Gary Puckit, "Young Girl Get Off of My Ice". Can't let a GREAT hit like that skate by.

I don't watch any sports, certainly not hockey, but I watched the clip of that guy getting his third goal. Amazing a person can control a hard piece of rubber like that!!!

On the music sent to me front, recently had a very fine person from this site send me ALL his mp3's. This added about 300,000 cuts to "The Collection". I believe this will bring me up to over a million tunes.

Obviously, NO ONE can listen to all this stuff, NO ONE will probably like all this stuff. I like to think I'm more the library, the stuff is here when you are ready. It's cool when someone mentions a band and I'm like I think I have some of that. Last night at work a group came up "Dream Theater". Never heard of them,,,, but I had a dozen of their albums!!! (and no I didn't really like it,,,, I'm an almost NEVER metal guy).

So I'll be busy racking and stacking all this new music (NOTHING goes into the collection without proper id-ing and my form of labeling) for a while. But I have knocked out 75,000 cuts so far!

After this last run through, one has to ask,,,, "Can the Beatles stuff be repackaged and more ways???"

Little Feat

Someone mentioned somebody releasing a Waiting for Columbus package. Found the package, but it seems it can't be "pre-ordered" yet.

True?

Dennis... True - and false

The upcoming Little Feat box on Rhino seemingly cannot be pre-ordered from Rhino themselves but it can be pre-ordered from retailers such as Rocket Man Bezos. It is down to who you want to give your money to. The release date is still two months away so no need to panic.

simon and feat

I see rocket man has the 8cd version, but not the 8cd, 2lp and 7" single box.

At least I couldn't find :-)

HF

Is there a book in the works from all your diligent research on Roy Buchanan? A ready audience here on Dead.net if you publish. Guaranteed to sell a couple hundred just to us. What an impressive project! You folks amaze me here.
Back to my slacker lifestyle. Cheers

Tried to look up my relatives who had died in war to memorialize them today. Lots of veterans but only a Great Uncle navy man in WW1 and had to go WAY back to the Revolutionary War to find another relative (Our side, but even in that family name we had both sides represented later in the Civil War) who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us. Thank you sirs.

the Hawk

2022 is turning out to be a suck year for loss. Others have posted about Ronnie and I just got to say I agree, the guy was cool as hell, funny as all get out and just a pleasure to be around. Rest in Peace mate, you will be missed.

All long ago, 1st Show

Roy Buchanan: American Axe (Backbeat, 2001) is now out of print. We pursued Roy in concert, 1974-1986. I caught him probably 80 shows. (Same as GD, come to think of it, though very different circumstances.)

You can get the Kindle version or look for it in a library or used. Reviews on Amazon. I have resisted writing this until it was out of print so as not to use the forum for commercial purposes. At risk of turning folks against me, the other music book (still available) is Working for the Man, Playing in the Band: My years with James Brown (ECW, 2018), a ghost-written memoir of my guitar teacher's years with the Godfather of Soul.

Proudfoot: chortling is superior to simply "laughing." Carry on!

The Hawk!

3/25/95, Band Show, working merch with my cousin, at Lulu’s in Kitchener Ontario, home to the worlds longest bar!
Ronnie’s there, larger than life as usual. Believe he was wearing a cheap windbreaker so if you didn’t know who he was you might think he was some farmer lol. Met him backstage, super nice like all the Band boys, but man, when he sat in, boy could still work it! Big, no HUGE fun! Believe I danced me arse off?
Four Winds Blow big guy!

US Festival

Topchinacat, we had arrived the night before and slept in line on concrete and rocks before they opened the gate. So we had a great spot for hearing as well as recording the show.

Dennis and Feat...

You are correct sir, I also have not seen the 8CD + 2LP + 7" single variant offered in retail outlets but, unlike you, I have not specifically been looking for that version. If I come across it for pre-order anywhere I shall let you know.

American Axe: Found It...

HF (or P.C.?), not to be confused with the book about actual axes by a different author LOL.
Not in my local library, will try inter-library loan. My wife has accounts with all the used book merchandisers so we will find one. Thanks!
Cheers
Edit: already found a used copy of Working For the Man. Dude you are erudite! I'm definitely going to get Across the Northern Frontier. I'm currently on a David Lavender binge, CO born author of 40 history books including one on a similar subject. Now back to my slacker lifestyle.
Wait, what? You bushwacked Pike's Peak for book research? Gotta get that one too. I have buddy who climbed that one that way too when he was young. Said it would have been too easy just to drive it and it wouldn't count for his 14er list.

5/30/69 Springers Inn

This is a great show and would make for a great release. It's not that long, so it could be paired with another 1969 show for a double release or part of a larger 1969 box set. The show at Springers was part of a great story on the Dead that appeared in Rolling Stone Magazine, well worth checking out.

American Axe

Being a huge Roy Buchanan fan, I bought American Axe and enjoyed reading it a few years ago. Highly recommended! I might get it off the shelf and read it again.

More meteors, old music etc.

Keep an eye out for Tau Herculids meteor shower tonight. Great to see these connectings to things back in the day, RIP Ronnie. See, react and then why don't I respond to various content, fall way behind, faster we go, rounder we get. I too love the 76 box, from a short era, on deck now. Belatedly, sincere condolences on the loss of your buddy, HF. Sat down to write about what pets, animals meant to me after reading comments, it felt too ponderous. Fortunate to live in a place where I hear and see wild animals often daily, up close, very close, like yelling get the HELL off my porch at a bear three feet away or chasing deer out of various de-fence-less gardens. Hummingbirds within inches, steal my face, hover under my nose, more "nectar" please, buds aren't open yet. A male American Bittern, submarine pump, strangest of all bird calls for weeks deep into the gloaming, looking for a mate. Used to travel too much to keep pets. HF, those of us fogeys who have been reading these entries for a while knew your connection to Roy, now others may learn. I will find AA someday. Had a summer job as a teen with same company where Roy's first keyboard guy, Dick Heintze worked his day job. SnakeStretchers band name came from Danny Gatton, he put that band together for Roy. Who has that first album, the one covered in burlap, anyone? How about the story that Roy worked as a barber before music paid enough, kidded my little brother later on that Roy cut his hair as a munchkin. Saw Roy down in DC several times at The Bayou, My Mother's Place, possibly underground cave known as The Far Inn, cannot recall it all. Did a deep dive into all the Viola Lee Blues I could find last winter, agree, Shrine top contender, there are a couple fine others, raw, missing teeth, worth the primal quest... and Road Trips 1.3, that bonus disc has about the best Hard to Handle, rumor had it Jerry was down on his knees at the end of that solo. They must be working on that 60s box, why don't they tease us, please us? There has to be enough material for 10-12 discs, we know it will have warts, just give (sell) it to us. Sure, we'd take a 60s Daves but a box would blow us away... Bolo, where are you??

Nitecat, you probably already knew, but there's a "professional" video of that show out there in "vast audio radiance" ... kind of cool because I'm not aware of alot of videos from that era really ... it will take you right back to nearly 40 years ago!!.....tc

Oro

Good lucks to your boys tonight. You know I am pulling for the Oilers, but am fine with either team. I considered a wager until I realized that it would likely amount to me offering up some chicken wings and you offering some of those Rocky Mountain oysters. So I'll pass.

US Festival

Topchinacat, are you refering to the documentary about the US Festival? "The US generation"? That looks interesting, although not focused on the Dead.

Rolling Stone-Springers Inn

Billy - I can remember reading that article, by Michael Lydon, in the book of Rolling Stone articles that came out in 1974. Although I hadn't heard a note of their music at the time I was fascinated by what he wrote. The whole thing about The Dead and their scene seemed amazing the way he described it. In fact, it served as my introduction to them, in a way. That, along with a hatchet job written by Nick Kent in the NME in the same year. He put them down, but made them sound great in the process.

Thanks AJ

Back at ya, it should be fun!
RMO, LOL, not gonna go there!
Besides, icksnay on the hockeysnegh or the content librarians will shhhhuuuussseee us!

Florida just passed a new law

"don't say 'hockey' on dead.net"

note to those who hate on the GD: bugger off

and if you need a palette cleanser: I highly recommend Pretenders first album. rock me, Chrissie and pals!

and how about this classic: Warm Leatherette by The Normal. freakin' awesome.

Oro

For the rest of the series, both teams should just agree to play 6 on 6 with no goalies. The goalies are not even making any difference.

US Festival

Not sure who did the video ...it's got interviews with Bobby, maybe Mickey too if I recall ... and it's on YouTube but in spite of all my cleverness, I am unable to even remotely indicate that address here ....

Off to Burlington with Iggy for the weekend, gonna meet up with a slew of UVM peeps to have a bit of an off-year reunion (damn yous 2020); looking forward to reconnecting and some outdoor time around town. Gonna do a deepest of dives into Dave's 42 on the upward journey. Glad to leave the kids at the curb, we've got Iggy's mom to thank for that.

That is exactly what I posted a year or so ago when 5/3/72 was released. I do not have the patience or desire to flip an album in the middle of a song.

Six - so jealous of you. Burlington is the coolest town in America. Sorry Boulder people. Too bad the Chicken Bone is no longer.

Oro - we can’t have the Rangers in the finals. They should have lost to Pittsburgh. I take back my prior comment on refereeing. Offsides is offsides. I don’t care how you try to rationalize a blown call.

Good luck tonight . . . to my Oilers.

To any Tedeschi Trucks Band fans....

....the first part of their 4 episode I Am The Moon opus dropped on YouTube. Check it out! Good stuff.

AJ

Yep, did not see that coming last night, hope it was a fluke.

For tonight, I purchased a seatbelt for my chair! Expecting another burner!

Hey Six

I got a daughter at UVM too, bumped into Mike Gordon (literally) last time I was there coming out of Citizen Cider. Burlington cracks me up because every time I visit (from Seattle) I see like 50 kids in GD shirts and not ONE in a Phish shirt. Anyway, enjoy one at Zero Gravity for me....

re: TTB I Am The Moon - thanks VGuy!

Vince,

Thanks for the heads up. I have the 4 LP on order which includes a free download!

Bob

Sixtus, FYI on the road to Burlington

Might be too late, be advised a very large sinkhole just opened up recently on the interstate you are/will be using, I-89, that will sloth or divert traffic off the highway around the Williston area (culvert washout fifty feet down). What a great town... great music scene, jazz festival, brews, saw Miles Davis there eons ago at The Flynn, David Bromberg, Phil and Friends, JRAD, etc etc.

TTB and hockey

my wife bought tix for TTB for sometime this summer

I have always ignored them

I hope they give me a good impression

I am much more open to different music these days

Hockey: you guys have me checking scores daily

I will probably track the Krack-en more in the new season

12/19/73 GD
:)))

Hope All Are Well!

Have really been enjoying 42. I think the bonus disk may be my favorite artwork to date on the modern releases. Still slogging thru E72.

Saw 7 shows in three weeks, well actually 17 days. I have been exhausted with nothing in the tank. Finally getting back to normal. My days of 3day weekend shows are over, just can't recoup like when I was younger.

Sixtus, glad your and yours are getting some time off. I know you both need it. Never been to Burlington, maybe some day. Wish I could summer there.

Fishman came into a friend's CBD shop this past weekend. Can't believe he didnt snap a pick. Wondering why Fish even came in.

Hockey, Burlington, etc.

Proud - I posted this years ago. Hockey is very much like the GD. It is popular, but remains essentially a fringe sport. The fans are wildly passionate about their team and the sport. You probably have figured that out by now. Most importantly - you must see it live. You’ll be hooked. Those Kraken jerseys are so awesome.

Following is a list of places on the planet that are cooler than Burlington in the summer:

Concerts, festivals, the mountains, the lake, the people, the shops, the breweries, . . . .
Less than an hour to the border of Canadaland and more importantly, less than an hour and a half to Montreal. The town itself is not too big and not too small.

Burnsy - I hope your daughter is enjoying her time at UVM. I know she is. Just about everyone loves it there. It’s suddenly become the hot school around these parts. I selfishly hoped my daughter would attend so I could spend another four years reliving part of my youth. Not to be. She turned down a very generous scholarship to study biomedical engineering so that I could pay full price at Colgate. And I couldn’t be happier or more proud.

Phish. Good lord. I never understood it and never will. I was in a bunch of engineering classes with Mike Gordon. Real nice guy. They were never all that popular when I was there. The Joneses were the band to see on campus and Max Creek when they came to town. Then for a week or two each spring and fall you were off to see the boys on tour. Not surprised you don’t see many Phish shirts when you visit.

Edit:

Oro - so I hop in the shower at the start of the second tied at 0-0. 5 minutes later when I return it is 3-0 Avs. WTF? Come on Canadaland. You are better than that.

Live Dead/Phish/Hockey....

....yeah about that. I have no argument regarding those. I'll just let it lie.
I enjoy crowds and people. Covid was rough to me. And don't you dare get me started on monkeypox.

Off topic subjects

My favourites are easily the ones that discuss other bands and types of music. After that, books and then films. I would prefer politics and religion to sport, I have to say. The pets one was quite nice. The only time I watch sport is when it is on the telly, which I sometimes put on with the sound down, listening to music. Speaking of which-good day at the cricket yesterday. What happened was...
Last 5
Motown Complete Singles 1965 disc 23 ( 2nd from 1965) Various
Rock and Roll Music cd 11- Studio 1979(plus 1964-1966) Chuck Berry
Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy The Who ( before they went off)
Profits Seer and Sages The Angels of the Ages Tyrannosaurus Rex
Rite Julian Cope

Last Dead was 6/26/73 from the PNW box. The last of the 1973 shows included - and surely one of the best of the year. The 3rd cd is off the planet - Other One-Bobbie McGhee-Other One !

Literature

Dave - my apologies for leaving that out. As it turns out, I just purchased my first Dickens novel, Great Expectations. I’ll post an update in 3 or 4 months when I finish. I’m a very slow reader.

Off topic subjects besides the Grateful Dead

Beer, bbq, blues music, sports, and hiking in the hills around the Bay Area .

AJS

It's the best way. I'm wading through PK Dick's short stories, and I'm in no hurry to finish. Both Dick and Dickens are worlds to get lost in.

Side Note,,, what else?

Just got mail about the Jerry Garcia Before the Dead. They've release in limited vinyl. They're 150,,,, amazon had some seem as high as 450?? Not sure why.

They seem like they are limited, but the amazon ads seem old,,,, the jerry site says back in stock?!?

I ordered,,,, I have the cd set and have always like it, so what the hell.

Literature, listens & Sports

Discovered Folio Society last fall and been rediscovering my favorite Science Fiction books I have not read in 30 years, along with reading the Ian Fleming books for the first time. Sort of like the yearly releases here, very nice editions but pricey. I get to experience your shipping woes in reverse (minus the VAT).

Folio Society just came out with a nice edition of PKD's short stories. I think they had a Limited Edition set of all of PKD's short stories, but that sold out long before I discovered them and was too pricey for my budget...

Halfway through The Handmaids Tale (1st read). Next up will be Moonraker, then deciding between Dune or Foundation Trilogy (both re-reads).

Still have some of the 4 disc E72 Germany shows to go thru, but finished strong with all four Lyceum shows on their anniversary date. Did a little blast thru the three cd's of Kate Bush due to Stranger Things the last couple of days.

Rooting for the Celtics in The Finals and hoping The Oilers bounce back. Sad to see the B's get bounced. Suspect it's Bergeron's last season wearing the Spoked B. Would like to see a Canadian Team win some year (as long as it's not the HABs or the Canucks). My preference would be The Leafs if the B's are out.

Played Disc Golf for the first time in 30 years. Bought 2 beginner sets for my daughter and I and we went for the toss and walk last Sunday. Last time I played was in 1990 when my college concert crew and I road-tripped to see another buddy who lived in DC. It was a whirlwind trip. Did the monument tour, visited the Whitehouse, a session of both the House of Rep and Senate. We walked around Georgetown and saw BobW walking around there and headed off to play Disc Golf. The next day got to see my first Dark Star hitting the monsoon that was RFK on 7/12/90. Pretty sure Jimbo was at that show.
