...where did your picture of Jerry with the psychedelic halo come from?

I was thinking the other day...how i would love to have 'Virgin' mind again...before it was touched w/ GD music... and go back and be blown away again by their Music for the 1st Time!!! That's what i tell people that have never laid ears on their music!!! We were listening to Ramble On Rose the other night...my wife and I... and the verse where Jerry says, "I'm going to Take You to the Leader of a Band!"...everything around me turned into a Family Feud game.... and i looked over to my wife, slapped my hand on the desk, and said... "For 1,000,000 Dollars, Can You Name the Leader of a Band...Can You Name the Person I Am Thinking About. " she looked at me kynda weird.. then Jerry busted out a solo, and i screamed.... Mr. Garcia!

I was listening to 9-28-72 the other day...and Dick's Picks 11 comes to mind.. You know, that Dark Star -> Cumberland is smoking...but other than that...i think i like the 28th Better.... Definately better Greatest STory Ever Told, if not the Best one ever..up there w/ 8-27-72 version... and THe NFA->GDTRFB->NFA... Jerry's first solo on GDTRFB is SMOKIN'.. and the Other One Package... hard to believe that Dick passed up the following night..or didn't make Both nights into the package... (I'm pretty sure DP 11 came out when Dick was still alive, right?? ) then, thats what brings this cool idea to mind.... If the people at Rhino are listening... You guys could do a Dick's Picks Revisited... and bring out like 10 volumes or so of stuff like this... 9-28-72 .. to compliment DP 11.. could have the logo at the top, Dick's Pick's Revisited..or Dick's Picks Resurrection.. and could bring out more killer shows based on what was released already... just a thought.. and, if anyone out there has not heard 9-28-72....i totally recommend you listen to it..there are good copies on Archive available....(hard to find the Truckin' Opener, at least the one i got doesnt include it)

It's hard not to be snarky when accosted with malarcky. At least without a big hit of snark repellant. What was the first lesson Adam and Eve learned? Be careful who you trust Like I told ya What I said Steal your face right off your head
