Itll be interesting to see how they patch that in the box set
Go to Nassau
Love go to Nassau.
Man, we are due for some 1980 to be released. Will it ever happen again?
RIP Greg Kihn
Part of the soundtrack of my younger days with his 80s hits
"No one here gets out alive"
Indeed
Greg Kihn
Immediately makes me think of the first show “that got away”
Crotchfester 9/1/79. Greg Kihn and the Goodrats opened.
I was still only 16 so the rents were not gonna let me go “all the way to Rochester” (that’d have to wait a year) to do anything, let alone go with a bunch of known “drug addicts” lol But I did hear all about it from said DAs, including how the GoodRats gave out these little toy Rats (think Florida Panthers) as a promotion, which of course the unruly east coast Dead Heads, who had had enough warm up noise and wanted the Dead, began pelting the band with the Rats, literally forcing them off the stage!
“When you go down to deep Elem…the DH will put you on the rocks”
Now on one hand I’m sure it was hilarious, if you were there, but on the other hand kinda embarrassing. But that was unfortunately often the case when promoters picked poorly. As kind as DH mostly were, we weren’t always polite to openers. Another ugly one I recall was poor Joan Jet opening up for Bobby and the Midnights: booed her off…
Anyway, 4 winds Greg Khin
Why…
5/16/80 of course!
Dammit PF, we went and checked out some GK tunes to refresh our old synapses, and now TOO and myself can’t get that GD ear crack from the Breakup song outta our heads ; ) lol
Why earcrack you say? Because its almost as addictive and damaging as crack!
Ok, Jerry’s 5/16 High Time might just erase it lol
My Mind...
...was wandering...
and all of a sudden; oh, yes 1974-05-25 UCSB outdoorstadium is where it's at
...like the wild geese in the west
Peace for All!

on a side note:
finished this weekend's reading assignment
"BEAR: The Life and Times of Augustus Owsley Stanley III"
highly recommended for even the casual HEAD,
and perhaps less of the embellishments than Mr. Scully's book
a recommendation
8/19/80
a show that is truly release-worthy
44 years ago
wow
On the Beach
Just played this Neil Young album. It and ‘Tonight’s the night’ alternate as my favourite NY studio album. Just to be tangentially political, I noticed the Democratic convention is in Chicago and it reminded me of someone I worked with many years ago. He flew into Chicago in 1968 to begin postdoctoral studies and was amazed/horrified to see so many heavily armed people about. Then he got to where he was staying and saw what was happening via the television. An interesting start to his time there.
I'm listening to
Jerry garcia's recording of Cigarettes and Coffee right now and more 90s JGB today, taking it easy.
Uncle T & The Bear
Again money out the window because of his whole-hearted, over-the-top recommendation of "BEAR: The Life and Times of Augustus Owsley Stanley III by Mr T, sorry meant uncle.
I'm an audio book man, so I got the audio book. Cost 15,000 bucks!! But apparently read by Owsley. Anyone know his voice and can verify when I get!
Go To Nassau
Haven’t heard this sweetness in fo ev er!
It’s good Dennis…not sure it’s $15k good lol.
8/19/80: thanks for the tip PF. That show is on my current to do list, prolly in the next day or so. Look forward to it!
Good lord Colin, nothing like a good first impression!
Earcrack: got another dose today via some Macca hits.
Guys an Earcrack machine! Lol it started with TOO waking up with the outro to ‘Listen To What The Man Said’ the Wonder of it All part…out of nowhere, hasn’t heard it recently etc, bizarre, just woke up with that part loudly in her head?
re 8/19/80
as always, I recommend you don't look at the set list ahead of time.
7/1/80
Sorry teach about the poor spelling, I missed school that day…cause I was peakin ; )
Edit: hey Joey, what’d ya think of those Richfields?
Dbl Edit: Aaaaa, Carrier dome shows, good shows, fun trips, awesome fully stocked rented bus first two years, unfortunately a terrible venue…
DHB Wee!
Yes PF, 8/19/80 is mos def a fine 1980 offering!
Not the best recording, not the worst, but a fun show and great set list, thank goodness, these 1980 sets are very repetitive so getting burnt and thus really enjoyed this show for that alone! Really dug the post drumz sequence especially that sweet CAT, and Phil on the jam after, Foe Git a bout it!
In fact, Phil’s been killing it a lot this tour…go figure ; )
It’s not much of a reCRAPTCHA
When you have to select all the squares in 3 of the 4 rows.
Not For Kids Only
Garcia and Grisman - np Three Men Went a-Hunting
1977-06-04 Menke. Inglewood…
1977-06-04 Menke. Inglewood CA
Its good. :)
Edit: kind of like a one off show, even just looking at the setlist it seems like they really went all out for these people.
8/19/80
Great show - early on had Set II from a very fine audience source that seemed to have a bootleg lp 1st(?) generation in the lineage. Not sure what the original pull may be on the archive (been 15+ years since last listened to the cassette) but seemed to be from the balcony. Should a could a been at this run. Two friends chose better and experienced it. The night after (8/22) I think was Venetian Night - illuminated boats and much partying on the lake. Chris was raving about the run and I remember him recounting the beauty of that somewhat odd third night Set II. So the next day we were headed to Alpine for the first GD show at that unknown (to us) but eventually legendary venue in beautiful southern Wisconsin. My 4th show. Picked up our tics that morning at a small ticketmaster outlet in the northwest suburbs and away we went. Those were the days.
Right now listening to the Mason Taylor aud (131445), Set II - Rooster > China Cat Rider > I Know You Rider. I loved this sequence from the get go and right now it is every bit as crazy good as i remembered. An all time bluecrow favorite. Love that Bobby breaks out the return of Rooster for the Chicago audience. Excellent version. And a note perfect segue into a ripping China Cat > Rider. Those first notes of China Cat and the audience going crazy. Whole second set smokes - on the jam out of Estimated now. If the vault soundboard quality is there I would love to see this show released!!
edit - did not realize the Mason Taylor source is cut at Comes Time - gotta jump to another source.
