    i could certainly live with these 5! I thought about Derek n Dominoes Live at the Filmore, I think it is. That "why does love have to be so sad?" is major jam. It feels like a cardio workout just listening to it. Neil could/should be on my list except there is no single CD that is totally satisfying. But I am huge NY fan. I've made a few compilations (not greatest hits...my favorites that sound great on the same CD IMO) that might make it, but that's cheatin', and there's enough cheatin' going on in this game:)

    my first concert was in Arizona, some old barn where the Suns used to play. I don't think it is still there....I moved to Phoenix in early 1978. The concert was fantastic. I have seen Springsteen maybe 6 or 7 times since...each show is a great party. Yeah...Money , Money could have been deleted. it is one of the few GD tracks I skip. thanks for the tip on the Habenero Sculpin. I tried at a beer fest this year in Ft Worth but I can't find it in stores. I'll look soon before it sells out. Yummy. Have fun at the lake.

    Thanks for playing....nice list, I agree Mars Hotel was quite accessible and even Money Money is still listenable, barely....:-) Dylan and the Boss are no brainers, btw were you at Landover 78 for the Darkness tour...it was exceptional, best one of the east coast run IMO....think I may have a boot DVD of it as well.... Heads anywhere from 77 thru Naked not a bad one in the lot, all different but same as it ever was.... Now onto WP....when I first got SXM in the car and found deep tracks, I thought I knew music, but after a Weir solo performance in the studio, which blew me away, on comes Travelin' Light from your aforementioned release. I was intrigued, bought them, heard them, saw them... But I still don't get them, but hey....I respect what they do and their legions of fans must know something....very talented, I just can't find the groove.... BTW public service announcement Ballast Brewery in San Diego just bottled a fresh batch of Habanero Sculpin, not for the faint of heart or palate...it will wake up your taste buds....and don't mix with Mexican food....accentuates the pepper....interestingly a piece of good dark chocolate like 70% pairs well.... Happy Labor Day all!!!!! Off to Lake Ontario.....

    my five, today
    Grateful Dead Mars Hotel. love the songs. Scarlet Begonias and Unbroken Chain are still two of my favorites. As those and other songs matured live over the years, I've always appreciated the original songs even more. Plus, this album, American Beauty, Europe 72 and Workingman's Dead were my original intro the Dead from a friend in the dorm. Our group enjoyed many days and nights listening to these records. Dylan: Blood on the Tracks....I just like this record. I'm not particularly a Dylan fan but this one is exceptional...and agree with the prior comment it and Desire are really 1 album. Bruce: Darkness on the Edge of Town. Not only do I like the music, the lyrics remind of growing up in Baltimore in a very working class neighborhood, from which my Dad would go to work in the factory every day. Never felt the angst or resentment that drips from this record but I get it. Also, this album was released as my now-wife-of-almost 37 years began dating. She turned me onto Bruce. Our first date was a Springsteen concert. The dogs on main street howl! Talking Heads Naked. I just like the bebop and groove. A couple of clunkers on this one but most are great. We used to host a 3 day Memorial Day party for 3 or 4 families with kids our age. Inevitably, sometime after the kiddies were asleep, someone would be dancing on the coffee table to "nothing but flowers"! Widespread Panic Space Wrangler. top tunes from top to bottom. I know some say too derivative but I don't care and would disagree if i did care. I first heard about WSP by reading the WSJ in late 90s in the weekend edition. The story talked about their similarity to the Dead in wanting to manage and control marketing, distribution, etc,. and incessant touring, penchant for jams, borrowing from multiple genres, etc. Intrigued, I went to a local record store...they still existed...and randomly selected Space Wrangler from a few others titles they had. For the next several years I often heard "Who is this? They're good!" when i had CDs on in my car. I preferred Mikey at lead, but Herring is not too shabby! There you have it. all rock. all older rock I guess. it pained me to leave JGB "Let it Rock" off, Drive by Truckers "Decoration Day", Little Feat "Feets", no DP in Boston 1991, no "Wake of the Flood". Doc Watson could make the list on another day.

Hi you all, I am here, I am reading but every time I go to post I start to ramble, then I wander and then I get distracted so I come back to an hour old post and I never click "post" So this will be short yet hopefully I will actually post it :-) I love the rggrrrr suppers ready stuff, makes me want to go see Steve Hackett from Genesis. Phil is playing with my favorite non-hippie guitarist Bill Frissel on April 22 or something. Bill Frisell is really something he plays big fat melodic notes and makes great use of pauses and space. Check him out, my favorite is "good dog happy man" but his John Lennon tribute is pretty wonderful. If I lived in Cali (hint hint to Klang, I would go to that show at TRX) I nearly went for it myself, the flight was $350, the car rental out of SFO would be brutal, and to visit Marin, or point Reyes or drive through Napa would be wonderful. My patient wife could only make a 3 day trip out of it, so the 10 hours or more in travel each way made the trip seem way to brutal. You do not rush a visit to Marin. Madness and adventure is fine, but it is way more relaxing when you have all the time in the world with no pressure except the next show. Anyhow, I am trying to quit obsessing on this thing and enjoy the spring. Things will most certainly work out. I am lucky that the experience of tour has helped create the courage in me to follow a path that has led me to an opportunity to do at least some of this 50 year celebration. Whatever burdens I have taken on they seem to be out of my way for a stretch of time. woo Hoo for that !!! So with a positive vibe I may try to spend less than 2 hours a day searching for tickets, hoping for news and all of that. See some of you at Dear Jerry.. Yeow!!!! -- Tom

Rggggrrrr and tfonts are good at keeping things on the path. That is good.. I like that path. the thing about 9/8 is it is impossible to march to, and that is what I like about it. Keeps you moving, but not in a very regimented way.. Everyone else excuse the madness, or get used to it.. it is all good madness.

...as Jerry most succinctly put it... Let it be known there is a fountain, That was not made by the hands of men.... We do pause before this meal to give thanks for all that is right with the world, to ask protection to all who feel threatened, to ask for strength for all who feel weak and to ask for success for all searching for tickets or their way... ...above all, we pause to give thanks for our family, friends, and din-din's everywhere.... So Be it, and Let's Eat.

welcome to our virtual world...we are one in spirit and direction. It's easy to get lost and go astray, we have no shepherds here only guides, and even the guides wander off at times. It will all become clear to us all as we go a little Furthur....cuz we ALL want to get here together, where you ask? Don't, even the most seasoned travelers are unclear....one thing is for sure....if you can see a path, stay as close to it as possible, For aI'm done herding sheep...or kittens or heads, getting too old for that gig, but if you see a buss top, stay near by or remember where it is...cause there's quite a trip to be had.... Hey I think I hear Eric Burdon....spill the wine.... Don't worry there's plenty more where that came from..... Check out the boys singing round the fire..... Off to get some shut eye.....working on the breakfast menu for tomorrow, Recommendations graciously accepted....

go-live day (at risk of jinx, went off w/o a freakin' hitch!!), so my wonderful hubby cooked for me. Medium rare NY strip on the grill. Creamy, buttery mashed w/sautéed 'shrooms & gravy. Corn and salad. A nice, big busty red. There are some things in the universe that are perfect. I am almost always on the path right foggy ...

Tickets will get cheaper by the dozen, don’t succumb to these scalper scumbags. Stub Hub Quick Analysis Notes I hand wrote down on each date: Mar 7 Mar 31 Friday 1611 1769 Saturday 1578 1786 Sunday 1407 1620 3 Day 829 847 Total 5425 6022 That is 597 more tickets now which is an 11% increase in the past 23 days. I honestly thought the number would have gone down in this time frame when I first wrote down the number back on March 7. I have also seen for example 2x3 day passes directly behind the stage go from over $3000 on 3 occasions several weeks back, to many now selling well below $2000. Lowest sold for $1615. 2 such passes end today in 14 hours from now and both have highest bid less than $1250 right now. Don’t sweat getting tickets, they will be plentiful and much cheaper as time passes. All tickets, not just behind the stage will drop!! Cheers Greg

You know you are getting old when.. Club seats with an obstructed view sound great because they have padded seats ! Behind the stage looks great because it will not be crowded !! The hilton seems like a nice place to end the day, instead of the days of not letting the day end at all. You plan a picnic instead of a party ;-) Enough for me.. time for nap :-) -- Tom
