Grateful Dead

A win is a win!
Still not sure what the hell happened, but the Bills did everything they could to lose and the VIKS did what they had to do to win. On top of everything else I have going on, the Bills lately ain’t helping my mental health.
No tunes aren’t helping either!
Did get 11/9/73 in and some southing Jazz, but I’m way behind : (
Man I love fall 73!
I hate having to choose, but IF I was forced, I’d probably claim fall 73 as my top dog? Woof!

The Vikes have been winning ugly this year OB, so winning in Buffalo will be a tall order. Should be a good game. Enjoy it.

I got the RJ reference from you of course : )

A secret deep forest music system sounds great. I was in the "deep forest" of my mind of course, sorta referencing the fact that I think the 44 cover art has that magic forest glade inside Autzen (from what I see). And I was trying to find that space again like it felt at that show. That second set was something else. Opening with that laid back Eyes had me in a complete what is happening moment. Was not aware that had happened in the Spring. And the Crazy Fingers out of the thunder of LLR. And the Uncle Johns with the big wave jam. I was ALWAYS a D>S head. Wheel was super special for me and my girl. Even Jerry's jam out of Miracle is simply another level given what that song normally was at that point. He's flying right into the heart of the sun of Morning Dew.

Grab 20 or 30 Catalytic Converters and you can finally afford that new car/truck you've always wanted. Get an extra 10 and you can be pimping it with hifi.

Just saying, Proudfoot will happily put you up for a week in the land where the getting' is good.

Back to Winterland 73. I finished the whole run in sequence probably for the first time in a decade or so. Some really creative stuff there. Wowwow Grateful Dead music. Fall 73 is a ok with me.

Hey Rocky.. watch me levitate Garcia (that trick never works)

Best of luck Oro..

Positive vibrations Mon!

Gonna sooth the ole battered soul with some of that gooey WL 73 this WE.
Sheeeooott, still have only heard 44 once, so there’s that too.
And yaaassssss BC Dicks 1 has always been top tier in that realm (nice RJ reference btw ; )
Deep Forest listening, sounds amazing. If I ever won the lottery, I think I would build some kind of fantastic deep woods stereo set up: all the gear in a hidden vault below, with a chair and speakers that rise up when you need them, and down to protect them when not in use. Preferably a Meyers system lol.
Press a button or 2 on your phone and the chair and speakers rise into place and pick a show and go!

But good to see ya BC, and I’m in the same boat with no proper listening time. So need to utilize the WE for strong medicine!

Well DV, I am truly worried about the big game mañana. Perhaps I shouldn’t have said go VIKS so much lol, cause their going awright. And now with Jah Shalin out….No Bueno! We are so banged up now. It’s kind of weird that people who spend their lives being in top physical condition (supposedly), that there can be so many injured? I think it’s not just us, but like the hole league? Anywho, hopefully it’s at least a good game, the refs won’t muck it up, and may the team that deserves it wins!
Onward Amigos!
Mucho Garcias!

just being a goofball DV, I mean I was here on POTD from day 1 and it was an island of fun and goodness in a sea of serious trouble, but nowadays don't have as much listening ability or time and obviously not posting all that regular at some times though I check in just about every day if I have cell service. Just returned this fall to the work I was doing pre-covid. has me outdoors. good for the body and mind. had to switch lanes as to work for about 3 years. Will try to get to some of the Winterland '73 run next few days. Had a good "deep forest" listen early this morning on the new Dave's from Autzen. Sweet memories of that weekend. Still remember that jam in Uncle John's - it was like I was surfing a big beautiful wave of music coming from Jerry's guitar, locked in, simply amazing.

take care everyone, enjoy the weekend. and again special good luck to you Oro on the insurance debacle. hopefully it gets resolved cleanly for you

Hey Bluecrow,

Good to hear from you, of course everyone is always welcome, the more the merrier.

Sounds like you have an interesting occupation.

Hey OB, sorry to hear about that issue for you, not fun. Hope it all works out.

And 12/19/73 will be added to the list.

Thanks guys, hope you all have a good weekend.

Started snowing here a little bit tonight.

Insurance (in general) - some times it screws you over and sometimes it saves your butt. Been on both sides of that coin.

One regret over the years was that I hesitated changing companies (across the spectrum - auto, home, health) even when signs pointed to the getting screwed over side of that coin. Cost me a whole lot of money in premiums for substandard coverage.

so 12/19/73 bringing it again in BC world - sometimes you start peeling back an onion you thought you already knew and then you just got to listen to it again and again as each new layer amazes.

Yep 1stshow, that’s what it is, legalized crime!
Totaling a car that’s ten years old, but barely broken in with mileage 43% below national average.
The way I use it, the car would have lasted another ten years at least!
At my age I don’t need to buy a new car just to go to nasty construction sites where it will get dinged etc.
I’m just trying to limp through a couple more years ffs.
The really messed up part of all this is the only reason I’m even still doing this is Health Insurance!
So that’s 2 perfectly good cars, a 3 year old sink, and literally now a 5 year old washing machine in the last 5 months!
Perhaps this why folks are so angry all the time?
Fuck me, at this rate I’ll never get to retire : (

EDIT: they outta let PF and HF in the room alone with a couple of those scumbags! Beat them senseless with aCC.

Neighbor did that to me and never paid my $500 deductible.
Didn't know I could have taken him to small claims court.
Dent the size of a basketball on an easy fender to fix still cost $1700!
Insurance is a legalized racket! They "totaled" my wife's car.
We got it all fixed but now have a "salvage" title, would be harder to sell.

Digging out the Winterland 11-10-73 today.

Edit: On that automotive theme, they busted the biggest nationwide ring leader in the selling of "hot" catalytic converters schemes. Huge fines, jail time, even had to forfeit his pricey cars bought with the ill-gotten gains. YES! Proudfoot should be happy about that one.
