    I’ve played the Sonic Journals CD once through and will revisit it. On first hearing the guitar playing is very good ,the vocals are mainly good although they occasionally drop down in level on the recording. The between song stories/introductions are inaudible through my speakers, presumably he didn’t talk close enough to the microphone. I’ll have to listen on headphones to see if they can be heard. I enjoyed the shows but it’s probably the least essential of the Sonic Journal releases IMO.

    A couple days ago spun their 2000 release "The Amazing California Health and Happiness Road Show" and it really really hit the spot.

    Love their sound - instrumental psychedelic surf, long jam style.

    edit - Honeybomb!!

    Canterbury etc

    Gong, and then Steve Hillage were the Canterbury linked bands that meant most to me. Possibly because I saw Gong live in early 1974. To this day, the trippiest event I have ever witnessed without actually tripping myself. You didn't need to with Gong - it was all in the music and presentation. I hadn't taken anything at that time, but it was immediately obvious that they were emanating from a different dimension. A real sign post to otherness. Of their albums, the highlights for me are "Camembert Electrique" and "You" - but anything with Daevid Allen on really.
    Steve Hillage's solo albums from the 70's are also great. My favourite of his is one called "L".

    I also remember " The Snow Goose", which I thought of as being more in a Pink Floyd circa "Meddle" type vein.
    As for "Future Games" by Spirit - yes, I agree 100% !

    Speaking of 1973, anyone review John Hammond's You're Doin' Fine from Bears Sonic Journals? I recall listening to John's country blues way way back in the early 70s... thrilled to hear and meet him at the North Atlantic Blues Festival in Rockland Maine a few years ago.

    Forgot to say - re-listening to Friend Of The Devils at the moment!
    Dicks 2 was great!
    Also I still think that the best album to get stoned to is Future Games by Spirit

Drinking a cup of dark black Colombian Supremo, roasted the beans myself.
With warmer weather around the corner it’s time for outdoor coffee bean roasting season.
Recently got a 25 lb bag of green unroasted Columbian Supremo to keep me busy this year.

DaP 12 - Disc 2
One of the greatest examples of what a great rhythm player Bobby became.
Since Doc went all over the net today salivating over the '71 Bucknell show, I have it on deck for tomorrow.
Thanks for the tip!

...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.

after bucknell......well, I'll be on a GOGD siesta until #50 arrives in the mail...
everyone have a FUN DAY!

PEACE for ALL!
uncle_tripel

edit: looking at the Archive right now,
it appears identifier #132733 is the SDBD from Latvala which has had
some static reduced and speed corrected +limited EQ
will LISTEN to it

...pennsylvania performance" for spring tour '71; with that intro it surely sounds like Sam has already seen
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

what do you think...Second that Emotion...Garcia sounding like a precursor to TLEO

...well you lied, you cheated, oh-oh for so long...well you lied, you cheated, oh-oh for so long...

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.
