    Trippy lyrics ?

    Dennis - seen through a certain lens nearly everything from the mid - late 60's could be seen as being about tripping. The BBC tied themselves in knots trying to work out which ones were promoting drug use, so they could ban them and save the youth of the day. Songs like "I Can Hear The Grass Grow" - was that because he had taken drugs? And "A Whiter Shade of Pale" - was that about drugs too? It must have seemed like the whole world had gone mad if you were over 30 at that time. And to be sure, it nearly had.

    Okay Dennis - it's now on my short list! Thank you! Been ages since I've heard it so essentially it will be fresh listen. I remember hearing/reading that a whole lot of folks preferred 4/16 to 4/17.

    !stShow - Three Rivers is very compact - hiking trail can't be more than a mile and a half total along a low, easy walking ridge line. 21,000 petroglyphs is what they say in that short distance. I've heard of one very cool glyph that is outside of it - would dm that if you were headed down there. Probably would want to tie it in with a visit to world famous Hueco Tanks (haven't had to visit that site yet.) Alas I'm only down in southern NM for work and not so much play.

    All the talk about 4/17/83 and Steve Stills doing Love the One You're With.

    How bout a little love for the night before 4/16. Steve also there and we got a Black Queen. (I had no idea what the song was that night!) But you also get a Bob Star.

    But the best part is you get the GREATEST Looks Like Rain. At least for me this is it. The last 2 minutes of it are incredible. Bob is really belting out "looks like rain, feel like rain, can't take no more fucking rain", but Jerry's is just ripping it up with a series of staccato notes that make you feel the rain. Brings tears to my eyes everytime!

    Extra - Daverock and Mr Tambourine Man. I wouldn't have gone with celebration of trippy, just a good poetic description of falling asleep. (Maybe my favorite Bob song. So many great lines) I always thought Eagle-Eye Cherry had a great cover of this concept with Comatose (In the Arms of Slumber). (now there's a great album, Desireless. Always loved the double meaning of "Shooting Up in Vain".

    Thanks BC

    Nothing to be sorry for. I usually listen to the GD Hour every week and I love the tidbits he throws in as filler. Keeps me up to date, lol. When I started listening in the early '90s in PHX he always had fresh shows. Some only weeks old which was pretty cool. Not sure why I was skipping that 4-17-83 series but glad I went back to it. It was an "on" night. It's all about the energy and it is there on this one.
    Thanks for the recommendation on the glyphs. Already working on this year's road trip schedule and will look that one up for sure. Love the inside info from pros in the field.
    Cheers
    I'll be finishing up Monday's Taper's today then see what DV's Pick-O-Day from EU72 ends up being.

    Sorry about that 1st Show

    Yeah the vocals on Love The One Your With are not just exactly perfect lol. Listening to it on my lo-fi system on drive back it seemed a bit more crazed than I remembered, had to turn it down a couple of notches (I tend to listen loud) and the backing vocals by Bobby? and Brent? are also a tad out there and just serve to reinforce that. Reminded me a little of Bobby shredding his voice in the old old days on rave up finale of some Pig Lovelights and Not Fade Aways. Back in the day I figured the 4/17 vocal thing was a surfeit of Bolivian marching powder and the wave of insane energy of a New York/ Meadowlands crowd/vibe but yeah Stills probably couldn't hear himself also. It didn't spoil the show in any way for me back then when I didn't have many tapes and it doesn't now. It just was what it was - a vocal rough spot in an otherwise stellar '83 show IMO and yeah an historic one-off performance of a classic song from the old days. Also want to add that along with that killer H > S > F, I love the Playing and the extended jam into drums. And listening to all this last little bit it struck me that Brent is throwing in some unusual keyboard sounds - like the "marimba" in the Help/Slipknot transition. I'm not a student/scholar of '83 (that would be Oro, among others) but really dig Brent's keyboards on this Set II. And yeah Phil is kicking it throughout and Jerry too his guitar is fire on that Slipknot. And right now listening pre-dawn with fresh coffee to H>S>F on the Senns to the Candace Brightman source on the archive and it is awesome! And going back to the GDH - one thing I enjoy is that along with the live shows, Gans is always serving up some relatively deep cuts from the greater GD catalog. Plus as a fan of Dead and Co he serves up the occasional killer D & C live SBD source, like in episode #1884 there's the Althea from 7/8/23 The Gorge which was coming out of a post -drums Dark Star! A little while ago he played the Cumberland from Oracle 7/16/23 and it was an absolutely ripping version, simply fantastic! His comment at the time was how D&C were really jamming out Cumberland in Set II and that was exactly what I got experience at Boulder 7/1/23. BTW - on a personal note we've been working down by Three Rivers Petroglyph National Monument north of Tularosa and had a chance to do a quick walk of the first section of the trail on a break. So much cool stuff packed tight and much of it different from the rock art up here. Need to visit there with some real free time - there's a nice campground I've heard at the base of Mt. Blanca.

    ConeKid - That vault tour sounds cool. I think the winner should be able to liberate some uncirculated show of personal significance as part of the deal.

    Had avoided this one until BC's post and going back for the H>S>F but the Stills sitting in on Love The One You're With was a train wreck, lol. Stills clearly cannot hear himself and the boys try their best but it's a bit rough. (as often happens on first attempts of covers) Yet a cool historic moment nonetheless. And not the first guest appearance to go astray so I enjoyed it "for what it's worth". Now there's a tune I wish they'd cover.
    Cheers
    Edit: Yep, that H>S>F is a good one. Tight, and I like Phil's work on this one.

    The last 3 episodes uploaded on dead dot net are from 4/17/83 Meadowlands, the second night that has Stephen Stills guest appearance. Lucked into a second set SBD by summer '85 and I loved it. The H > S > F opening the set is pure fire, easily one of my favorites. Been listening to these episodes as part of my long haul drive music. Latest episode with Love The One Your With uploaded today - will be listening to it when I had back home this afternoon.

1971-04-14 @ bucknell; will finish-off this show today; (maybe EQ abit heavy on bertha, china>rider) but

It sucks when life experiences cause you to get behind.
I am currently immersed in the greatness of this box.
1st Boston show last night.
2nd Boston show is rolling tonight.
Packaging is awesome [#04229], and the sound is amazing!
I must acquire more '76 Dead in the near future.

Is also a great album, although the hey now thing is trying to stop me saying so. The 4cd set, featuring the outtakes and a show from 9/26/73 is really good.

Jump right in, the water's fine.
Except for the apparently A.I. powered censorship which appeared a few months ago and is very random and hard to figure what they think is not OK. Just keep trying and eliminating words until it will post.
Latest release (DaP 50) is usually where daily discussions happen and check the recent posts tab (upper right in drop down) to see what else is shakin'.

Speaking of mid 70's white Southern rock bands - the first American band I ever saw was Black Oak, supporting Black Sabbath circa 1974. You don't hear much about them now. Maybe their albums weren't top draw, but they were a hoot live.

This morning: new Guided By Voices single off the forthcoming record, and then a few times to "Sugaree" 5.22.77. That first solo. Jerry and Keith are just magical in that performance.
