Grateful Dead

Looks like your latest work will be scrumptious.

He just released a Garcia/Hunter album called "A Lovely View of Heaven." Nice.

Here is a quote from write up...

"The LP serves as an intimate and personal voyage for Burbridge, who uses the songs of Garcia and Hunter as a means to navigate his own grief following the loss of his father, brother Kofi Burbridge, and mentor Col. Bruce Hampton.

Reflecting on this cathartic process, Oteil shares, “Looking back, I don’t feel like I was able to really process all the pain from these huge losses until I started working on these ballads. All these arrangements were written through many tears. And all the vocal tracks were recorded that way as well. It is my sincere hope that this album will be a catalyst for listeners to process their pain as it was for me.”"

Not to my knowledge

So many vinyl editions of GD

Amazon is selling Without a Net LP made by grateful Dead Productions for a Nov 10th release date. Has this been released anywhere on the site?

Saw Glenn Hughes last week. Totally sober, for my own reasons but unusual. Wanted to experience the show as Glenn does.

Fucking amazing. The man is to this day a beautiful specimen with an ageless voice and energy. Great band. Threw out many anecdotes of Tommy Bolin, which, if you've ever lived in Boulder, may have meaning. Even dropped a couple gems off "Come Taste the Band." Glenn has been long known as the Voice of Rock and, ladies and gents, it is not undeserved. The man deserves a much larger stage.

Saw Clapton Saturday night in Denver. Mellow show, but really dug the bookend of what will be my final live Slowhand experience I'm sure. Could give a fuck less about his politics, etc. Crossroads II: Live in the Seventies is about as good as rock and roll has ever gotten.

Have GNR tickets, probably Eagles and definitely Aerosmith. I like to rock. I also like languid Dead, like "Comes a Time," "Ramble on Rose," etc. Room for everything.

Peace everyone.

Waiting for pizza to pick up

David Bowie's Golden Years on PA

loooove it

I record video at concerts.
I’ve recorded some pretty good stuff.
Check it out on the ole utoob, search for channel:

There’s even some Col. Bruce and Aquarium Rescue Unit.
That’s Herring’s son playing guitar for a song.

I wrote last year about seeing Elvis a couple of times locally in 1975.

Last year end up buying a cd of one of the shows and it is good.

Was looking thru some stuff and came across a post card of my local city. It is a picture of a large spring which the city still uses for part of its drinking water. It now puts out roughly a million gallons of water a day. On this ancient postcard, the spring was pumping a million gallons an hour, almost endlessly.

Wish I could have set up a Still there. Speaking of, anybody ever heard or heard of Moonshine Still. They were a very good jam band. Need to go see if they are still around. Once I joined here, so many other things faded away. I am sure some around here may have seen them or Donna the Buffalo. Both great bands. Someone wrote a few weeks ago about seeing Col. Bruce Hampton and Aquarium Rescue Unit. Have seen Bruce in many iterations, including the Rescue Unit last time was maybe 2006, with the Code Talkers. That was a wild show/party! Seen Bruce maybe 10 times, his death was unthinkable. Ahh the Hampton Grease Band. Love that old picture showing Col. Bruce opening for GD. Think that is Atlanta Pop Festival 1969, memory fuzzy.

My condolences for you both. Getting old is not for wimps. Been dealing with my ailing father and my brother. All 3 of us aren't in great health. Learning that old gospel lesson, one day at a time. Truly comes as the years go by.

Hope others are well.

Yep, I think 2023 is my last live show year. Have a few more, but all venues are now digital. On a couple of shows bought a prepaid card so I wouldn't have to use my debit or credit card. It helps me stay within budget. A few drinks in me and I can spend. "Yep another round."

I have a few more shows this year. We have Willie Nelson's Outlaw show, and both Drive By Truckers and Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. A few more I am deciding on. But think I am done. Think I am going to complete the streaming live concept by joining Nugs and LivePhish. Still wish they would live stream the last 2 Meet Up at the Movies. No theaters here carried, only 2 I have missed. I would definitely pay decent money to stream both, like a package deal, maybe $30 for both???

Have had a big year this year. Went to an interesting concert a few months back George Jones tribute "Still Playing Possum." Was a touching tribute to ole George. Truly a "He Stop Loving Her Today" moment. Lots of great music. Although I am not a huge fan of a couple of the younger performers. I dont know but county music with Roland 808 drum/bass added is a little much. Still a great tribute by his wife. The concert is coming to theaters nationwide October 17th if anybody likes ole Possum. His version of Patches is one of my favorites, first done by Dickey Lee, then Clarence Carter (Grammy), but the Possum's version is my favorite. Tickets at fathom events dot bomb. It has been almost 50 years since the first time I saw the Possum. He has not been in rotation much lately, may need to do a mini deep dive.

Have a call to take, more in a bit. Have loved the 85 Red Rocks shows for a loooong thyme. 9/7/85 was one of the very first tapes I received. After that is when I started hunting for tapes instead of just receiving tapes. This was early 1986 before Jerry got sick. Jerry got sick and then my whole world changed tremendously. I had been a head almost 4 years but still hadn't seen a show. So as I have written before my first shows were at Oakland/Kaiser Auditorium. A long way from home...

I have no vinyl setup. Thus I will not be participating.
That you for axing.

Isn't that what bars and Taylor Swift concerts are for?

yea.. no ticket stubs, what a bummer.
