The only studio JGB?

Edit: What's the best Rubin & Cherise?

Nappy, amazing birding! 30 ft. and then the fledglings. Never seen one in my 40 years of birdwatching.

....I had a crush on her and wanted to marry her.
Unfortunately. I found out, you can't end a sentence with a proposition.

Great surf band, Messer Chups, discovered on youtube yesterday. Their albums seem to cost a fortune, but there seems to be a ton of video clips here.
Also saw a cool clip from a programme called "Wednesday" of young people dancing to The Cramps "Goo Goo Muck". All is not lost.

....where does the time go.
Plowed through half of Fahrenheit 451 in one sitting. Been awhile since I could say that regarding a book. Gains traction fast. My ADD sometimes makes it hard to focus on constant paragraphs, if that makes sense. Mind tends to wander. But this, this broke that trend.
No. This was not required reading at my high school. Better late than never though!
Seems like Bradbury kinda predicted the future unfortunately so far.
No spoilers please.

Funny that this release still hasn't sold out. This is the fist Dave's to not sell out quickly in my memory. Correct?
I've bought less music this year as so many other things have gone up in price. I have to believe that's a factor.

I've enjoyed this release. The sound is unique to my ears. There's still some of the more mellow side of 77 from the spring and less high octane like the November shows. I like it a lot. Those late fall 77 shows have never completely grabbed me. Jerry is on fire throughout this.

I've been listening a lot to the second disc. That second set is great. I like the Dancing that forms from the transition to drums.

Take care all. Turn it up!

...today was...Have family from LA visiting....we left early this morning for Page AZ and I put my family on a smooth water raft trip from the Glen Canyon Dam to Lee's Ferry...stone cold city people and they had a blast....we drove down and picked them up at Lee's Ferry...it was great sitting and listening to the Colorado River sing sweet songs to rock our soul as the Mrs and I waited for the rafts...when the rafts came in we grabbed our guests and drove along the Vermillion Cliffs for a bit taking touristy pictures...we drove back to Navajo Bridge that crosses over the Colorado...we walked over the pedestrian bridge and my niece looked up and said "Those birds are big!" Of course they were Condors and everyone on the bridge looked up and started snapping shots...suddenly one of them did a big swoop and dive...I thought the Condor was diving under the bridge (700 ft above the river) but at the last second did a helluva move and ended up sitting on the hand rail of the bridge....it was about 30 ft from us and sat there for quite awhile... we all took a bunch of pictures and all the folk there were very polite and stayed a safe distance from the animal and also were pretty quiet...after a bit the Condor spun and dropped off of the railing and swooped back to the south and spun and turned for the bottom of the vehicle bridge next to us...the Condor pulled up to a large ledge underneath the bridge and had a sit...that's when Robyn noticed two small hatchlings sitting there looking around....Mom sat about twenty feet from them...amazing...the weather was perfect, about 65 degrees or so, sunny and no wind...good to get out and about after our snowy winter here...

…Put up my last 5!!
Stupid merch-just ignore it. They’ll only make more of the crap that sells. Daddy’s money is buying most of it I’m sure.
Where was I?? Oh, right:

Arcana-Arc Of The Testimony
The Who-Odds & Sods (‘98 re-issue)
Steppenwolf-For Ladies Only
Steppenwolf-7
Jim Hall-Uniquities Vol.1+2
Nickel Creek-Celebrants

Yeah, that’s six, I know, but….

Music is the Best!!!!!!

PTBarnum-great minds think alike: Steppenwolf!!

Arrowhead 7.1.78. I really like this show.
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots. 5 LP 20th anniversary release upcoming. Pre-ordered on their website because pink vinyl. My vinyl for March. (Ordered it two days ago. New month).
Styx - Pieces Of Eight.
Tom Fogarty - Blue Moon Swamp
Corrosion Of Conformity - Wiseblood
So there!
Edit. Yoshimi is 20 years old. Damn.
If any of you haven't heard it, may I recommend you do. No refunds. Although I doubt you will ask.
It comes with the highest Vguy recommendation. Top shelf.

39 years ago today, I was up at the Marin Veterans Auditorium, and another great night with the Good old Grateful Dead. Small venue, big fun!

....not all heroes wear capes.
Their band name now has a possible additional meaning.
Re 1st shows comment. If so, then whatever company they are farming out to is trash. That camping poster is embarrassing to even look at, let alone own. $75? GTFO of here. Farm it out to Liquid Blue! Or one of several dye people on Instagram or Etsy that create incredible products.
Or take notes from Phish's dry goods.
Regardless, cut the damn cord already.
