    Proudfoot - real

    No.

    My wife told me that joke the other day. Best joke she ever told me. She read it with a real feel for humor.

    Generally, her funniest joke has been marrying me! (she's paying for that joke now!)

    Right place, right time

    So it’s 1980 and I’m at Gainesville for my 362nd show, but last minute parking lot buy leaves me in the nose bleed seats. I wander down for a beer and meets a guy at the concession stand.

    Guy says he has an extra ticket for the 3rd row and to follow him down.

    Down we go and sure enough, 3rd row center!!!

    I’m blown away (tripping balls at this point), but ask, “Don’t you need this seat?”

    Guy says, “No,,, that’s my wife’s seat and she died.”

    Great just what I don’t need to hear in my state, but ask “no friend or relative you could have asked?”

    He says, “no they’re all at the funeral”

    Odd juxtapositions

    One that does work for me is when they slotted Me and My Uncle in the middle of The Other One in 1971. 8/6/71 is a great example - there tucked away on cd4 on Dicks Picks 35.

    Fascinating to see them in action in 1978

    It's another show I thought of as "meh" for a long time. Today it sounded like the bells of heaven ringing.

    ‘No Name’ - Jack White. Remarkably good on first listen. Hopefully it will survive the test of time.

TN John - very cool! (a bc bday show not that I was there.) my FOTDs box set is crossing the Great Basin right now (i think) based on tracking. Hopefully by Tuesday next week.

6/14/94 - iwt and got here listening today via a circuitous route of JOTM (from 3/11/93 Rosemont) drive home last night which has a late period Masterpiece and this morning (gestures wildly) somehow saw the set list here and thinking "wow" I saw a Masterpiece in 94. And from there Set I etc. Very unusual set list Set II and a really fun and fine well played show. Posting now because Set II leads off with 45 second structured drumz intro to Victim and it caught my ears as something I had "never" heard (despite being there!) Victim into Lazy River Road. And then the second Samba In The Rain, which I will unabashedly say sounded great that night, totally new to me, and strong cool memory of Phil/Bob/Jerry/Vince singing the chorus and it rocked. Samba > Trucking > and a super chill That Would Be Something into drumz. Those late era shows in Seattle Memorial Coliseum kicked it.

At the risk of joining said society, I like the points you made, Daverock. I'm thinking of some live Quicksilver I had on cassette - absolutely ferocious playing, but the recording was not up to modern standards. Eminently listenable, though, and it broadened my mind to what that group was capable of. Or that Pink Floyd stuff from early '72, some early Doors stuff... that early '67 Thirteenth Floor Elevators concert (I think it later got released properly)...

So those Sept 1970 Fillmore recordings, what exists of them, should absolutely be made available to the public after Dr. Norman takes his best shot. "What's to lose / We're NOT confused/ You can call this set / The Fillmore East blues."

Live At The Roxy (Hollywood - 5/26/76)

Been thinking for a long while that I need to upgrade my system in certain key points. Slowly making my way to that move. Thanks for sharing ConeKid.

The model I got is over 50% off because it has been replaced with a newer model.
12-inch sub is spectacular.
I highly recommend it as does Vguy.
Grab one while you can.

The speakers were also on sale. They are really nice. I would also recommend them, and they’re still on sale.

Nice at the time

Will listen again someday

I was so glad they were in Seattle (first time since 1983)...Tacoma 88 kinda counts....

The bonus disc that came out with After Midnight - JGB at Kean College 2/28/80.

Kick ass little disc, 4 songs from next night 2/29 (a leap year!) and 1 from 3/1. I got to thinking how "freaking good" this sounded compared to, say, some 1980 GD sbds and on an old Steve Hoffman forum thread heralding and dedicated to the After Midnight release it mentions that Kean is from 24 track tapes(!!) and I'm like what the heck is going on that a JGB show at Kean is being recorded with a 24 track rig?? And yes I'm very thankful that it was so beautifully recorded. The After Midnight > Eleanor Rigby > After MIdnight from Kean enters a musical space that is crazy beautiful and otherworldly and that pretty much has me with tears in my eyes every time.
