    AJS & OB & Sixtus

    AJS, havent listened to 12/31/81 in decades, didnt know it was on youtube. Will definitely be looking it up.

    Someone posted about Dick's 10's, need to go back for some homework. Sorry short term memory is so so, but think it was Dave rock. Thanks for the reminder!

    OB, yeah the dove freaked me out, don't know why. For a split second I thought "What do they want me to do, should I stomp on it?" Then, peace overcame me, and the dove sat there for the rest of the show. That had to be close to 3 hours. Wonder how he enjoyed it? Was it to loud for his tiny ears? Did the sound hurt him?... Many years later I thought to myself, maybe he landed next to me because he could sense I am a kind person. Yeah, I know, that is stupid. Oh well.

    Sixtus, Happy New Year my man. Every time we start another TRIP around the sun, I think of you and yours. I am guessing your first must be in 1st grade by now? Man, time really does fly. Yeah, like others, I saw the original and all of the Star Wars when they hit the theater. Worked at a theater during The Empire Strikes Back. So saw it quite a few times. A few years back I researched and found articles on "How to Watch Star Wars." Had different ways to watch the whole series. Now I wonder, "was I reading some your prose?" As I posted, re-watching Phantom Menace was awesome. Now I have Clones set up for this weekend. I am trying to watch them all before we get to equinox. Want the sun to be set long enough so that it is easy to crack one open, roll another one, and watch while it is dark. I light watching those type films with no sunlight because they look so much better. I do plan maybe next year to watch them in others ways from other peoples ideas on watching. Maybe you can send me that paper? Smile. As you said, there is so much detail in the stories and the filming, that something can be gleaned and understood in a new light.

    Man sure do hope our west coast heads are safe. We went a week without power 11 years ago and it was not fun...it was manged CHAOS.

    West Coast - Hope All Are Well

    We knew this could be bad, but it turns out to be way worse. Hope all California Heads are safe and secure. Only positive I see is the potential snow pack levels. Been watching radar for days, look like rain but also a bunch of snow has fallen in the mountains. As someone posted, that is the best cure for the drought.

    Part of me wishes I could come west to the final shows, but too expensive. I am also satisfied, excessively, with my final show. Meant to write about it on 30th anniversary, now plan to do it on the 35th anniversary. Have to make it there first.

    I Scream, You Scream

    We all scream for ... HEROIN!!!!!!

    Well, you know what they say: if you can’t remember the grunge era, that just means you were really THERE.

    John Lennon would probably top my list of all time great r’n’r screamers. Unless it’s Yoko, who could outshriek Edith Bunker any day of the week.

    Glen Miller was the ‘40s equivalent of, I dunno, the Guess Who, maybe? Not bad, but not the Real Stuff either. Count Basie, Artie Shaw, Bennie Goodman, even, if you want to get your Swing Era rocks off.

    Speaking of real stuff, and heroin, I’ve been rediscovering Tom Petty’s Wildflowers via a fortuitous Xmas gift. The 4 CD deluxe version of that record is a revelation. I liked the original album, but I didn’t realize what a high point it was for Petty as a writer: the original album was already long, but the deluxe version includes another album’s worth of equally good material that was shelved at the time. Plus demos and live versions and whatnot. Weird, isn’t it, how drugged out depression can sometimes produce an artist’s best work? I think this was Petty’s Layla.

    If it keeps on rainin, the levy is goooooing to break. Actually, it already did, in several places. NorCal’s been battered, friends. Major highways closed, streets flooded, trees down, power out. It’s looking like the drought might be busted (or at least we put a dent in it) but sheesh, what a mess.

    Time of the year

    With few officially released shows from January, I have been dipping back into December to listen to shows I missed last year. Like Dicks 10 - 12/29/77. Hot guitar, and much else besides. Must be one of the best shows from it's timespan-ie. 3-4 months either side of it. It's pre-Bob on slide and loooong drums, and has enough power to source a city.

    Spinning my first purchased vinyl....

    ....since the early 90's. Phish's Sigma Oasis. Sounds pretty damn good.
    Went with a Vinyl Buddy cleaning kit. $24.99. Used to have a kit like that back then.
    Used it to clean Jethro Tull's Benefit which was in pretty bad shape. No skips.
    Spring tour announced today btw. Three shows at the Hollywood Bowl in April. Temping. Very tempting. I'm one away from fifty Phish shows. Catching up to the Deads sixty. My 50th Dead show was the first Eugene '93 show.
    Star Wars? I also went the first week in '77 Charlie3. No lines. My childhood friend who I still keep in contact with, said, "Vince. You need to see the awesome villain in this movie "Darth Vader." Went back for more a couple of weeks later and lines also around the theater. Worth it though. I was 10. Perfect age to be totally absorbed. I had never seen anything like it.
    Ps. The new Puss In Boots movie is awesome. As is m3gan.
    We have an old school theater right down the street from us called The Cinedome. No casino to walk through. $5.50 matinees. $8.50 late night. Good deal and the best popcorn.
    I love the cinema. Always will.

Your collection probably needs the Fleetwood Mac ‘Worlwide Live’ unofficial Box.
10 CD’s for $40.
8 Fleetwood Mac CD’s ranging from 1968 at the Carousel to 1990, along with a Stevie solo and a Lindsey solo.
Sounds pretty good. The only show that I already had was the 75 show. FM/pre-FM sources.
I figured that for $4/CD I should check it out.

Speaking of 69.. Banana box? Holy Cow 43 was good, 44 is up on deck. We live in the valley of riches, but of all the releases the last few years the 69 was the big surprise. I'll take a double dose of that any day.

I popped in the giants stadium 7/12, and it gets me every time. The whole first set like HIAB, loser, and TOS. the band was firing on all cylinders, especially Jerry and Brent with that tinkling keyboard is so sweet. Being there for most of the shows makes me bias. Just had to mention it. Back to dap 44. Great show.

If I could pick only one Grateful Dead show to see out of all the shows they played, it would be one of the acoustic/ electric shows from 1970.

Another one. Yikes! It's everywhere now.
And not a mask in sight.
Take it easy PF.
My local friend took a week. His wife like 10 days.
And they were just ready to get their bi-valent (Omicron+Corona).
I went and found the bi-valent (still scarce here) right after that.
Full effect around third week after booster, so about now for me.
But we are still doing masks in crowded stores since we have some COPD.
Best wishes and cheers

I purchased Dave's Picks 44, and it arrived as scheduled. The outer mailing box was punctured, and when I opened it, little pieces of plastic starting falling out. The CD case was broken. When I opened that, I discovered that CD3 was chipped and cracked. Today I listened to CD1 and discovered that it was defective. Tennessee Jed > Promised Land does not play. Anyone else have this problem? I have not listened to CD2 yet. I contacted customer service, and I learned that there were no replacement CDs available. Defective merchandise can be returned for a full refund. I am hoping that someone would be willing to email me digital copies of those songs that I am missing so that I can at least have the complete show. As I said, songs 1-7 on CD1 are fine. Songs 8>9 are defective. I haven't tried playing CD2, and CD3 is no good at all. Can somebody please help me out? Thank you!

Send a PM to MaryE.

In case you haven't sent a PM before: To send a PM, if you are logged in, on the upper right of the screen are your account options, cleck here, select messages and you can probably figure out how to send a PM from here. either that or fumble through customer service. They can probably pull something better than a refund off..??

Edit: Ooops.... Proudfoot beat me to this by a couple hours. I didn't see his response before I replied. Apparently, he and his dog have been eating mushroom chocolates all day and have developed super human powers as evident by their lightening fast and accurate response.

My dog Sarge, the brindle bull Mastiff had cancer, and was put down tonight. 14 years old. He was a loyal companion. "He's gone."

Condolences Carlo13.

I'm pretty certain that Sarge was very happy to have had you around with him for 14 special years. You took good care of him and now he has an opportunity to rest. You provided space in this world for him and that is a special love that was returned.

Stay strong and stay positive.

Carlo - Sorry to hear you had to put to sleep your beloved dog companion Sarge. Such a tough loss.

Sorry to hear about your loss Carlo, losing a pet is very sad.

Putting down a faithful companion may be the hardest thing you'll ever do in this life. This from an animal person who put down his 20-yr-old cat earlier this year. The day-to-day intimate and often subconscious connection is nearly unbreakable. And yet... mercy requires courage and acceptance. This will be hard in the days ahead. I survived by focusing on the blessing and cosmic luck of the years together and the realization, which does not come easy, that "there's nothing you can hold for very long," thanks Robert Hunter.

You did good for fourteen years and your departed buddy would wish you peace. As do we.

Condolences Carlo. So sorry Sarge's glorious 14 year run with you had to end. How lucky you both have been! As hard as it is to put down our four-legged companions when the time comes, they count on us to do the right thing to the very end. My 12 year old brindle Mastiff mix Annie is recovering from knee surgery, and I know her day will come sooner than later. I'll shed tears, but know she's counting on me. It's sad that dogs' and cats' lives are so much shorter than ours, but they sure do pack a lot into their time with us. Onward

I have had pets (dogs & cats) since 1965. It occurred to me years ago, that when I sign up to take a new animal (I call them my children, as I have no human children), we are implicitly signing up for an unknown time period of joy, and also, some days of grief & sadness. To me, this is still a good deal, but it makes the heartbreak no less painful or intense. I don't ever want to live without the unconditional love of a cat or dog, so I go in knowing the deal. I believe my life is always better with the love of a quadruped.

So, to Carlo, VGUY and everyone else who has lost a "child" recently, you have my total empathy and sympathy.
Carlo, as long as you remember Sarge, he's never really totally gone.
My 2 are 13 (redhead) and 7 (tuxedo) so 1 may go soon or not, but one piece of advice that was given to me was: "always allow 6 months to grieve before getting a new one".
By the way, I have not always taken this advice, but it does make sense to me.
