    Did you ever have to make up your mindPick up on one and leave the other behind It's not often easy and not often kind Did you ever have to make up your mind Did you ever have to finally decide Say yes to one and let the other one ride There's so many changes and tears you must hide Did you ever have to finally decide Sometimes there's one with big blue eyes, cute as a bunny With hair down to here, and plenty of money And just when you think she's that one in the world You heart gets stolen by some mousey little girl And then you know you'd better make up your mind... Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her And then you get distracted by her older sister When in walks her father and takes you a line And says, "You better go home, son, and make up your mind" And then you bet you'd better finally decide... So many choices so little time..... ....all night long!!!!!!

    Roll Me Away Took a look down a westbound road, right away I made my choice Headed out to my big two-wheeler, I was tired of my own voice Took a bead on the northern plains and just rolled that power on Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City stopped in a bar to have a brew Met a girl and we had a few drinks and I told her what I'd decided to do She looked out the window a long long moment then she looked into my eyes She didn't have to say a thing, I knew what she was thinkin' Roll, roll me away, won't you roll me away tonight I too am lost, I feel double-crossed and I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right We never even said a word, we just walked out and got on that bike And we rolled And we rolled clean out of sight We rolled across the high plains Deep into the mountains Felt so good to me Finally feelin' free Somewhere along a high road The air began to turn cold She said she missed her home I headed on alone Stood alone on a mountain top, starin' out at the Great Divide I could go east, I could go west, it was all up to me to decide Just then I saw a young hawk flyin' and my soul began to rise And pretty soon My heart was singin' Roll, roll me away, I'm gonna roll me away tonight Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin', keep searchin' till I find what's right And as the sunset faded I spoke to the faintest first starlight And I said next time Next time We'll get it right

    Time to leave San Antone..on a midnight train. I've seen the bright lights of Memphis And the Commodore Hotel And underneath a street lamp, I met a southern belle Oh she took me to the river, where she cast her spell And in that southern moonlight, she sang this song so well If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland We made all the hotspots, my money flowed like wine Then the low-down southern whiskey, yea, began to fog my mind And I don't remember church bells, or the money i put down On the white picket fence and boardwalk On the house at the end of town Oh but boy do i remember the strain of her refrain And the nights we spent together And the way she called my name If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland Many years since she ran away Yes that guitar player sure could play She always liked to sing along She always handy with a song But then one night at the lobby of the Commodore Hotel I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well And as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song And all the boys there, at the bar, began to sing along If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland, Down in Dixieland

sounds goood, start without me if I'm tardy, on a different subject, I do not want to wade back thru all this, so I ask, what was the brew you recommended? Ballard Point or.. I don't know, started with a "B"........tiramisu is fantastic, the girl makes it wonderfully, with home made Kalua, I'll throw a dollop in the pack, it will go well with Phish taco enchiladas.

Ballast Point Brewing Company San Diego....can't go wrong with their Sculpin, Grapefruit Sculpin, Habanero Sculpin for IPA, Dorado for 2xIPA or if you like a Porter...Victory at Sea. It's coffee vanilla....breakfast in a bottle.......not cheap, 7-10% so not weak....just exactly perfect...they sell it at Consumers here and Beers of the World in Rachacha... Last summer when visiting my son in La Jolla was introduced to it, and I am hooked.... And tomorrow we'll leave the light on for you.....and my tacos start with an F....

Some highlights and lowlights (as usual the highs far outweigh the lows): 1) AMAZING Althea, I think it's the best I have ever heard! (Bobby's slide was outstanding - super cool effect he was using) 2) Jerry's voice was very good throughout. 3) Very nice Box, Phil and the boys sang it grate. 4) Jerry misses, forgets or intentionally doesn't sing "..to get to Terrapin." 5) Excellent Drums (90% Billy, Mickey was fiddling about) 6) Terrapin>drums>the other one>the Wheel (unique putting the wheel AFTER the Other one and not right after space). 6.1) Jerry tries to come in too early with "won't ya try just a little bit harder" Oops. Otherwise very nice version. 7) The other one (Jerry shredded it, great jam!) 8) Sizzling Morning Dew (Jerry really got into the vocal and guitar playing) CRAZY GOOD! (Jerry screams, wow!) 9) Lovelight was a little lackluster IMO (Bobby held way back on the Bobby Vegas routine, was waiting for him to get hammy and for some reason he didn't). Great time, second set was louder in the theater and the sound did seem to get better as the night went on. [Good thing there was in and out privileges if you know what I mean, Looks like rain was better from the outside :-)] Not a great turnout and nobody danced. I didn't want to be the first to get up out my seat so I did a little jig in my seat for the Wheel (that song makes me dance every time.)

I noticed that too about Jerry not singing that line in Terrapin. It seemed like he did it on purpose. Was there something he was responding to that happened at Alpine or on that tour that summer? I know Jerry would be tuned it to stuff like that, and communicate with the fans in interesting ways like that. Any ideas?

Does anyone know if the streaming package will be available in such a way that it would be able to be streamed from a Roku? The website says "any device" but that's a bit vague. I will get them since I can't get to Chicago, but will need to find some other way to push it from PC to TV if they don't have a Roku option... Thanks, -Dave

So is this a streaming live event only here? Sucks if you are there live. I was hoping for a real PPV where you can watch at home on the big screen and DVR it, not on your laptop or iPad. Perhaps that's coming? Anyone know or see this differently?

It's virtually assured that someone will upload it to a torrent site almost immediately and it will be available for download.

My local HD commercial free rock radio station 106.5-2FM (Subterranean) played Mama Tried on the way hope from work yesterday, and played The Wheel today at lunchtime. Coincidence? I think not... (Channeling Alpine Valley they are)

My guess is that they don't want people to DVR it so they are not offering it in the traditional pay-per-view method to cable and satellite companies. This preserves future Blu-ray package revenue (at least in their mind, and to a point). Webcast discourages this copying practice. Just my $.02 on the subject. In my opinion they should not call it "pay per view" unless it is a cable/satellite offering.

I saw the Oakland show during the '82 Who tour. The Clash and T-Bone Burnett opened. Also saw another of their "farewell" tour shows in '89. Both were great. The road goes on forever and the party never ends . . . .

Last night at the movies was a good ol time! I can't wait for more! I'm going to try to be an early riser and a more disciplined person. We'll see how that goes. The latter is more likely, since I do work nights and love the stars and the moon so. In the meantime, I'm going to bed before tfont's first email and rgrrr's first post, so I know there's progress :) Nightzzz.

Happy Wednesday! New avatar, how does it look? @seeing Jerry at the movies: Yeah the magic was there alright. High energy show, good setlist for sure. I echo your sentiment about the magic. If Fare Thee Well has half the magic as the Alpine Valley stint we are in for a treat. Rhythm Devils alone should be worth the price of admission. And personally, I think Trey is gonna work out just fine and the boys will be rockin' again next month. Holy crap it's getting here, next month is Santa Clara!!!!!
