10/31/90 J voice
It’s weird, he sounds good on that sweet H/S/F, and the all of a sudden, somewhere in the first it’s fucked? Weird…
In the house
12 3 79
My 16th birthday
90 miles southeast of where I was living
However, the bus was still a little over 2.5 years away from my stop
Edit: first two discs ok but not transcendent, at least this time around
Disc three? We will see...
Edit
Rest of show ok, not transcendent
Did not listen to 12/4/79 filler
Yet
Upcoming road trip music
5/26/72
5/27/93
3/10/81
2/23/74
I haven't heard 5/26/72 all the way through for a long time
It'll be good to hear pre-hiatus GD again after 90% post-hiatus for the past year or so
Rockin' out!
Roy Buchanon "Livestock" 11/27/74
The Rolling Stones "Get yer ya-ya's out!" 11/27/69
GD just not happening right now
Listening to Bob F. Dylan
Highway 61 Revisited
Mixed feelings on BD movie
Hollywoodization is something I don't generally like
Bob is awesome
2nd Disk of 5/26 is particularly Awesome!
Along with the beautiful Playing - which, 3/4 of the way through, I picture as shimmering sunlight on a lily pond, with a hummingbird or dragonfly flitting about then lifting off - followed by the crowd's spontaneous, stunned reaction (!)
Of course, we all know the heart of the thing (3rd & 4th disk selections) from the E72 album ... Overall, for me at least, it's hard not to put this show either at or near the very tippy top (surely a Himalayan peak, K2?) on the grand quality of the playing and total emotional commitment, as the closer of one of the greatest tours in their history, etc.

Slice of Life - Live Solo
Slowly getting the feast together. A world of wonders indeed.
Holiday music
Consisting of a playlist of eclectic, immature, inappropriate, unknown, off the cuff quirky, Fun and otherwise not yer mamas Xmass mix of albums, set to auto DJ.
Oh, and whatever holiday jazz albums we have too!
Jazz to the World and Oscar Peterson being in constant rotation lol
So “shake your Christmas butt, until the crabby goes away…”
But first, need to walk on down the old valley road (to make room for leftovers)
Hope y’all are having a safe and enjoyable holidaze!
Glad yer back PT!
We were really starting to worry the bastards took ya out!
Rest up and play dead (I hear it’s good for what ails ya!)
At the moment
I’m watching the ‘Beatles 64’ documentary. I particularly liked the guy who managed to get his seat from Shea Stadium when it was being demolished so that it complemented his ticket stub for the concert. That’s what you call obsessive.
5-24-72 vinyl

The Lyceum vinyl Box is awesome.
