    I don't need no doctor

    Actually, I do. I like to keep in touch, and make sure my creaking body hasn't got anything too seriously wrong with it. But I also like word "iatrogenic" which indicates that you get more unwell from seeing the doctor than you would if you had stayed at home. The idea that doctors spread unhealth can be developed to include the education system that is responsible for closing people's minds, and the social care system that it responsible for maintaining social problems rather than eradicating them.
    High drama at the footy last night, with England's captain, the Roy of the Rovers like Harry Kane, missing that penalty, which led to England being knocked out. What started out as a football match ended up being more like a Greek tragedy - a great man with a fatal flaw and all that.

    I have loved Rust In Peace for years, but have never ventured beyond that (not including a few tracks on MTV.) (Remember when MTV had Headbangers Ball? Yo MTV Raps? MUSIC? Sigh...)

    Anyway, So Far So Good is my first venture. Youthanasia is next at your suggestion Vguy.

    I don't know if any of you have been to the Gorge, but I insisted on getting in line early for the second show. I saw that line of the even lawn area above the floor the first night and wanted it. And got it. And we got a helluva reward. Fuck yeah.
    Edit. Definitely not front row. But in the sweet spot.

    Went to a Golden Knights game last night. OT winner Chicken Dinner.
    They started this glow in the dark thing. Pretty cool. What's not cool, is the pre-orders re; sweaters don't roll out until early Jan when the orders were in early November. They have the money, yet don't have the product. Season ticket holders are like, "WTF?"
    I got a glow in the dark towel though.
    Being up close applies to hockey as well. Yeah, it's neat, but the glass warps the perspective. Give me 18 rows up. Or upper bowl. Can see the plays form from up there. Good shit.
    Re; looking behind you at shows. Can be interesting, especially if one is tripping a bit. Micro-dosed at the Knights game. The chatter behind us was funny as fuck.

    Never look back, nitecat...

    Something might be gaining on ya... Actually, I never understood that saying. It's like the line, "I never go to the doctor, he might find something wrong with me." I mean, if something might be gaining on you, you SHOULD look back and that'll probably get yer dogs whirling like in the cartoons to escape whatever it is. If it's not physical, then it's in your head and you'll deal with it no matter your preference.

    Proudfoot -- the Nazca lines! One theory, of course, is that it was a signal/landing pad for extraterrestrials, which is a wee bit practical for my money. I think of them as being created by locals to attract anyone who could see 'em, which pretty much means outer space travellers. So I think they're aspirational/intentional. The mystery is that constructing them, engineering them, surveying straight lines for thousands of yards, took a lot of advanced knowledge and an incredible amount of work for what might have been, probably was, an abstract idea. Nothing technical of that nature that accomplished, indigenous peoples couldn't do 5,000 years ago. Modern humans have been around at least 40,000 years with Einsteins and Rembrandts like today. It's just that few civilizations ever did something analogous. The pyramids, for instance, were monuments to specific pharoahs who were treated as gods on earth -- that's pretty tangible. Also, they were public works that gave purpose and maybe a few bowls of gruel to the rank-and-file. That is, if one of those ten ton blocks didn't accidentally turn you into peanut butter and jelly. How many "Smithers" went down when the limestone slid? The Nazca lines seem much safer; but maybe there are human bones mixed in with the chalk, eh?

    Reading The Dylan Tapes (2022), which presents ~30 transcriptions of taped interviews Anthony Scaduto did for his 1971 biography, then left in his basement when died. The widow edited. Highly recommended look at the formative as well as transitional Bob.

    Up front with my buddies

    Some time in 1988, my friend Glenn suggested that we leave the seats and join him and his friends on the floor. That began my happiest moments down in front with 20 of my friends, perhaps 3-4 tarps from the stage at the Kaiser, Oakland Coliseum, or SF Civic. We were close enough to see the band, yet far away enough to hear the stacks. We had it down-there were the runners, which I count myself as one, there were the mules, who carried in everyone's packs including the runners, of course, and there were the back-up, who came in a little later and helped hold the space. Each runner had a blanket, so if one got down in front before another, he/she could lay it down to claim our space. During set break, we took turns going out so there were always folks holding the spot. There were many times at the Oakland Coliseum, where I felt like I was in the band's living room, unless I turned around and looked at all the people behind me.

I always liked the LLR's from 1976 to 1977 most - Donna Jean at her best, singing harmony. I would also say that was my favourite period for the band in terms of their singing generally - Jerry's voice seemed to improve to me during this period. Obviously, I don't listen to them for their singing abilities, so I prefer earlier years - but that was one quality that seemed to develop to my ears. It was certainly an improvement from 1974.

I think I tend to go off ballads more quickly than other types of music because, inevitably, they always tell the same tale. Slow songs telling a story can get boring in time as there only so many times you can listen to the same song telling exactly the same tale. The interest then lies in how such a song is played, rather than in the actual song itself. To me, "Friend of the Devil" got deadly dull in its slow style. But if they had perked it up a bit, as in pre1974 versions, I would have enjoyed it a lot more.

I also bought Dawn of the Dead on dvd quite a few years ago. I remember enjoying it - clips of acid tests which are intriguing. If I'm remembering the right film -I think I got it around the same time as that Merry Pranksters one "Magic Bus" and I may be confusing the two.

Near as I could find Al hasn't attended a show. And even though they were all environmentalists Tipper was the Deadhead in the family that got the Dead invited to the residence according to the Jerry and Woody Harrelson smoked in a bathroom there story. Pat is known to have attended 6 shows or more usually with a camera in tow. No Bill Walton but...and then it comes down to is President Pro-Tem as high a rank as President of the Senate. I went with equal as the job is the same, it's just temporary. How's that for splitting hairs? LOL

Donna's wail was actually much better in 76/77, pretty much in tune.
On the other hand, Bobby's screaming in Estimated got longer and more annoying as years went on(somebody here qualified it as histrionics, which sounds about right.)

Of all the GD things that have not aged well, the screaming is perhaps the most obvious, at least in my household.
If it weren’t for the yelling/screaming, I might of been able to convert the Other One over the years, but as soon as she hears, ahem, certain “things”, well, let’s just say the vibe changes in our house lol. 😉

We often wonder where that all came from?
Was it Janis’s influence in the sixties, was it drugs, was it rooted in the inadequate equipment and no monitors early on, was it just part of the sixties rock culture in general and all that bottled up sixties energy? I’d say probably D all of the above?
I believe I read something once that Bob got into the primal scream thing back in the seventies, but Pig, and even sometimes Jerry went there too, so maybe that’s not the antecedent, but it probably is why he seemed to up it.
Or, knowing Bobby, if he knew some folks didn’t like it, he did it more on purpose as he’s been known to do lol.
I’m guessing Donna was coached by Bob on this?
Of course this is another unfortunate idiosyncrasy of Sound Boards: the vocals are often unnaturally loud comparatively to the instruments etc, making it more noticeable, but certainly not the root cause…
I’m sure it wasn’t so bad live, well at least until later when Bob started doing as a normal part of some songs i.e., Estimated…where sometimes it was cool, but often it was too sustained and/or over the top.
Curious if anyone else has ever thought about this?

Personally, I think a little of short duration can add some good energy, i.e., OMSN, but to me, there is a fine line and sometimes it’s too over the top and/or goes on too long…but that’s just me.

I’m so glad Damar’s doing better but I just knew the league would f##$& us (and possibly Cinnci) and not finish the game. Hey, anything to promote their new golden boy Mahommes now that Tommy’s not it so much.
If he had to come to Bu faf in January with the mafia after all the teams been through this year….bastards!

And as long as I’m being Debbie downer, 2 year anniversary today and the main traitors to our country who committed treason via an attempted coup on national television, still walk free while the prisons are still filled by folks for minor drug busts…

Ok, sorry, (smack my self outta it) time for a bad ass Here Comes Sunshine!
Happy Friday folks!

EDIT: thanks for the DotD intel Conkid and Cousins!

Roky Erikson could unleash a blood curdling scream when the mood took him. The one captured on the live 13th Floor Elevators show in California 1966, on the cover of The Beatles "The Word" is truly harrowing. No doubt that the doors of perception were open there. Or that they might have been better left closed.

There was a connection between Roky and Janis Joplin, both coming from Texas. I think she was mooted to perform with the Elevators in the very early days. Who influenced who, or whether they developed their vocal tics independently of each other is now lost in the mists of time, and matters not.

Our minor discussion of 12/30/86 got me thinking, especially what you posted.

When I rate shows seen, 12/30/86 was never in my top 5.

Now that I ponder that show, it surely is in my top 5. I might watch it again this weekend. It wasn't even in my top 10 until our discussion and the re-watch. It may make my top 3 and far stretch #2...Have to do some serious thankin bout thangs.

Anthem of the Sun bubbled up this morning...HOORAY! God bless the Grateful Dead.

Yes, the coup leaders are walking free. Fuck 'em with the iron sausage. Life is indeed not fair or right or just. This country is a joke. It completely boggles my mind. AND, those leaders are supported and loved by millions. I spit on their haircuts...

screams...I never did see why people thought Janis Joplin was so great. Her singing makes ping-n-pong go hiding upwards.

GD screaming and screeching...sometimes I am ok with it, other times...no.

If you don't like my comments, take comfort in the fact that the feline in my house still thinks the couch is a good pot to piss in.

Sorry to laugh at your predicament PF, but it is kinda funny though (if it’s not yer couch!) perhaps not as funny as stepping in poop in the middle of the night ; ) Not laughing at you (or vguy) just life!

I can feel your frustration through your words…your not alone, 2020s bad mojo continues: after everything else that went wrong last year, cars, sinks, washers etc, now our 3 year old radon fan just went from whisper quiet to beyond annoying high pitched whirring that you can here all over the house.
Place it sounds the loudest/worst…right above my big dedicated stereo listening chair, Dooaahh!
So hang in there brother, this darkness got to give….doesn’t it?

JANIS: yeah I’ve always had mixed feelings about Janis. Her energy and often gut wrenching sound was definitely powerful, but sometimes the screaming is too much…OR, I’m just becoming yet another off my lawn grump old bastard! It would have been interesting if she’d stuck around, as you’d think, like Jimi was, she’d want to move on eventually. Playin with the Elevators before she became a legend would have been interesting…

GARY: ok, you’ve got me really interested in 12/30/86. It sounds familiar but I’m not at home so can’t look and see if I’ve seen/heard it? I’ve always liked 3/24/86 best out of what I’ve heard from that year. Another of those years it’s easy to sorta write off, but then you find some occasional chestnuts that make you go whoa! (Like every year really).
I think up you said it’s listed as 12/31 on usetube? Hmmmm I’ll have to check it out!
Glad to see ya and hope you’ve been well?

We forgot to mention James Brown; one of the great screamers, one of the few that could really pull it off, along with Roky Erikson.
Also well worth a mention, Tom Araya.
At the other end of the scream spectrum, there's Yoko "jamming" with Chuck Berry on TV, look it up!
Janis was great when not screaming; the Pearl LP is her best, in my opinion.

Thanks Cousins, that made my day.
The looks on Chucks face….priceless!
DG outta keep that clip handy on her phone so next time somebody gives her grief she can wip this one out lol

Agree about JB. Never saw JB, but did see Maceo at a small gig.
Holy crap what a great show!
Knew of him, figured I’d like it, but yeah, that was one of those sometimes you get shown the light gigs.

That's a great clip of Yoko wailing with Chuck Berry. I don't think Chuck put up with much he didn't like - but even he seems a bit reticent about going up against John Lennon.

....RIP Slayer. I remember seeing them back in 1985 in a club of maybe three hundred people. Saw them four times since.
Dave Lombardo was a machine! Reign In Blood is still an all-time favorite record of mine. In fact, I might relisten to it again tonight.
Rob Halford has a great scream also.
Oh. And an obligatory 🖕 to Yoko.

Fantastic drummer! He's off and on with the Misfits nowadays.
Slayer's definitely not for everybody, I consider them the aural equivalent of Bosch paintings; didn't catch them until 1988 at the Mountain View theatre, which was the last rock show that they had there, Mountain View just could not handle it(Tom Araya's intro: "Welcome to Mountain puke")

Blimey, that takes me back. That reminds me of the pop singles from around 1970-1971 that I would have heard on the radio in the background, while I was waiting for the likes T.Rex or Slade to come on. White Plains were also the kind of group that may have appeared on Saturday night Variety shows around that time.

Going back to screams, Joe lets rip at the end of The Moonrakers "Night of the Vampire" on that last collection. Not for the faint of heart.

Last Dead - Daves 23, 1/22/78. A great 1st cd - I haven't got on to the other two yet. Jerry ripping it up.

Comment on screams, but my favorite from 30+ years ago was Sebastian Bach at the end of "I Remember You."

Metal Heads out there...

In the late 70's favorite live album was Ted Nugent Double Love Gonzo. By the early eighties It was Priest, Unleashed in the East. Maybe the best metal album ever, IMO.

Then the magic bus came by and I was smart enough to get on it. Even though we know, "The first days are the hardest days."

Is a very well played show all around. For me, the 30+minute drumz was the best part of the show (no space). And that 30 minutes, I do love. Have started thinking of re-rating it. Think it was definitely top 10, maybe hovering in that 7-8 slot. But now has me rethinking my own thoughts on best shows as I haven't had those thoughts in ages. As soon as you get in a good tape trader group, and then the official releases start, it is hard to look back, but as Jeff
Smith always says, "Onward." Too much music to ever think I will get to it all. That is why I am not a completest.

Since nobody mentioned them, and somebody should, here are a couple other notable, if not blood curdling screams.

Careful With That Axe Eugene by Pink Floyd. Sustained and a little disturbing. That scream sounds like maybe Eugene was not careful and just lost a good piece of a finger and hasn't quite processed it yet. Guessing everybody on here is familiar with it. The song, not cutting off a finger with an axe.

Time Has Come Today (long version) by The Chambers Brothers, in the chaotic portion in the middle. Has a real intense vibe to the screams, along with a sort of chill laughter, and it works. Classic psychedelic soul tune, and how could it not be when it includes the lyrics "my soul's been psychedelicized" and sound like they really mean it. Great song.

Yes, Charlie 3, good mention.

A _little_ disturbing? Reeeaallly disturbing. I was walking in the woods one time with Ummagumma on the walkman. When the scream in CWTAE came about I imagined 1000s of trees screaming in agony while being decimated during logging operations. It was, in a word, disturbing.

Maybe he'd be more careful with a WD hatchet. And a gardening apron.

My cat used to scream when I played the harmonica back in the 70's. If it was outside, and we wanted it to come in, I used to stand by the back door, play a few bars, and it would come shooting in from nowhere, with it's belly close to the ground.

I like Careful With That Axe, too. Some great demented versions on the dvd/blu rays enclosed in that Early Years box that came out a few years ago.

I'm also reminded of Iggy Pop's great shrieks, whoops and hollers during T.V. Eye on the "Funhouse" album.

I was just going over this thread when I realized I had listed, "Unshined" by Soundgarden. What was I thinking? It's, "Outshined," obviously... thankfully there is an edit function. Most sites do not allow edits of posts and gaffes remain unaltered...

I went with Outshined over Slaves and Bulldozers due to the fact that the Outshined scream is just that, a stand alone, while on S&B Cornell is singing that line, "Now I know why you've been taken," actual lyrics, albeit with real malice.

Cornell may be the greatest rock singer ever, IMO. He also has some great screams on Audioslave records.

The Roger Daltrey scream on "Won't Get Fooled Again" was arguably the best for decades before the metal guys really got rolling. However, I saw the Who again a few years ago and it was clear that they piped in the original scream off the record during the spot in that song, and Daltrey attempted to sing over/with it. Now while no one can expect a man of that age to sound like he did back in the day, I thought it a bit gimmicky.

Careful With That Axe is on a whole 'nother level of psychedelic creepy insanity. It has always sounded like murder on acid to me.

Cheery thoughts on a Sunday morning! Now onto more coffee and walking the dog before football.

\m/

Yeah, what Daverock said, there’s some good ones in the PF Box, some on video.

I was thinking of Roger Daltrey as an example of a scream that wasn’t blood-curdling, but didn’t Robert Plant have some too?

…every morning when I stumble into the bathroom…then I look in the mirror and Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Scariest damn thing eevvvveer!

Yeah, Charlie, guessing ole Eugene didn’t have a Working Mans Dead official hatchet with compass in the stock and this thingy that tells time….Oooppss

Blood, Sweat, and Tears, Child is Father to the Man, track 1: Overture!
I used to be able to laugh like that!

Isn’t all metal screaming of some kind or another?

A smorgasbord of offense

Nah...

No need to scream vguy
The Dolfings won

Oh, and dah Bills too

Because Buffalo has been through a mass shooting deadly snowstorm and a near-death of one of their football players, I am backing them in the post season.

If the Seahawks get eliminated, that is.

Good find Vguy! My folks had tons of his stuff that is now mine, even some 78s. I need to get an old Dual turntable or the like to spin those 78s. My Philips only does 33 and 45rpm. Haven't looked that one up yet but I'm guessing it is a rarity since it is from his Army Air Corp days. Most folks don't know the US Air Force name didn't start until after WW2. IMHO Glenn had the coolest smoothest sound of all the big bands and wasn't afraid to jazz it up. I have found numerous box treasures at the Salvation Army and Goodwill type stores for next to nothing. Good hunting!
Cheers
Edit: A couple on Fleabay. Good one - $20.90 + $5. shipping, Crappy damaged box - $10. + $10. shipping. Pristine would add a premium for sure. Never seen that record.

I smiled quietly to myself when I saw this.

When I was a lad of 16, working in a gas station, I changed a tire for a guy and in his trunk he had two collections.

One was the Glenn Miller you mentioned and the other was a Benny Goodman collection (the Golden age of Swing..... limited edition!!!)

These are NOT 33 LP's, they are soft cover books with 45's. Most have two songs per side. The books are less than mint, but the records seem fine.

They don't appear to be worth anything :-(

We had a radio show down here done by an old guy (the collector), and he played old stuff from the 20's to the 40's off old 78's. Since I have about 700 78's I called one night to ask him about them. He said records made after ww 2 weren't worth anything since they made tons. But ones made during the war are worth something since the material used was needed in the war effort.

ps - my sister got me all four phish lp on lp........... as soon as I get a turntable up and running!!

Dennis - you sound as though you have a great record collection. Your post reminded me of a collector who I saw a film about some years ago called Joe Bussard. He apparently collected thousands of 78's in his lifetime - all pre war jazz, country and blues from what I can remember. Hated rock n' roll.

Coincidentally, I watched the first episode of The Ken Burns documentary called, "Jazz" last night, and I decided to seek out various artists as I go through it. Trouble is, the best way of collecting-the most economic anyway - is to get cds - and there is just so much of it out there. The best Jelly Roll Morton set seems to be a 5 cd box on JSP - that's a heck of a lot of Jelly Roll Morton! It apparently sounds better, and is less expensive the single cd sets. Less is more, as they say.
