    From Two From The Vault is one of my all-time GD moments. It has that soothing melody that feels so good after a "My nerves are shot, and I can't take it anymore" section of music like That's It for the Other One. Exactly perfect.

    I wish they would have found a way to keep it in their repertoire a little longer. On the sunny side, I was able to see them perform it both with Phil's band and Furthur in the post Jerry years.

    One of those great, quirky songs. Thanks Phil, you are missed.

    Update

    I was at the Los Lobos show last night.
    When the guys took the stage, David Hidalgo
    stepped up to the mike and said:
    "This is for Phil Lesh."
    They proceeded to open with "West L.A. Fadeaway."

    There were quite a few heads in the audience, and we got
    Evangeline, Not Fade Away, Bertha, La Bamba>Good Lovin>La Bamba
    plus ALL the great tunes Los Lobos is known for. Bitter sweet. What a day it was.

    Phil was Jerry's counterpoint and his bass runs beyond compare

    In a conversation with CNN in 2006, Lesh reflected on the feeling of performing with his bandmates.

    “It’s paradise. At that moment, I’m not really there. And no one is. We are the music, and our personalities as such really cease to exist at all. We’ve been subsumed into the greater personality of the group mind, that’s what’s been created. That’s what’s created when we are creatively improvising, and the flow is really happening. When we are actually channeling, we are opening that pipeline to another reality that speaks to us. And we are acting as transformers, and we have to step that down into musical thought. But this is not something you can do consciously, learn how to do or be taught. It’s just something that happens to you when the stars are aligned properly and when your individual consciousness is open enough.”

    "November and more, as I wait for the score,
    They're telling me forgiveness is the key to every door.
    A slow winter day a night like forever,
    Sink like a stone, float like a feather.
    Lilac rain, unbroken chain, Song of the sawhet owl.

    Out on the mountain, it'll drive you insane, Listening to the winds howl
    Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls, Unbroken chain of shy and sea.
    Unbroken chain of the western wind, Unbroken chain of you and me."
    - Robert Peterson

    "You who choose to lead must follow
    But if you fall you fall alone
    If you should stand then who's to guide you?
    If I knew the way I would take you home"
    - Robert Hunter

    I'm in for 3/15/90

    I was always a Phil guy. Jerry and Phil, no offense to the others. After Jerry passed, I was on the Phil side as close as I could get.

    I'm sad beyond description. Phil made a difference. With all the trouble in the world, when I think of bombs, they are always Phil Bombs.

    Again, sad beyond what words can describe. May the four winds blow you safely home Mr. Lesh.
    There's a weird emptiness here tonight. A well-earned void.

    Edit: I changed my mind and went for Augusta 84. Phil denotes and destroys the final jam in Morning Dew. The Phil and Jerry combo was just exactly perfect. I'll do 3/15/90 tomorrow.

...get on with the show, let's go! oakland 1992-12-16 diP #27 a very nice solid show to wrap-up a quick mini tour of 1992.

gonna have some time to listen to davis gym @ bucknell this week [saturday's visit to lewisburg cancelled cause long distance son came up w/ respiratory ailment; no sense travelling if you are not running in your event], and had originally planned on streamin' during the drive to campus.

everyone have a FUN DAY!

PEACE for ALL!

enough of the pennsylvania landscape [traveling 800 miles in 5 days to venues on back roads before many interstates were completed]

...all that shines is not gold...

1971-04-14 @ bucknell; will finish-off this show today; (maybe EQ abit heavy on bertha, china>rider) but
this is THE GOGD that got so many freaks UNITED

...and you got to reap just what you sow

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.
Peace

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.

A few people welcomed me which is amazing! I guess 'Reply' is not to an individual? I do not internet much. I will get there.

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.
