- billy the kidddJoined:Anniversary show 9/11/81 Greek Theatre
43 years ago ( along with a lot of other folks who post here on this forum) I was at the Greek Theatre for an absolute knockout of a show. Definitely my favorite show at the Greek, and my favorite run at the Greek. Hopefully one day we will get a Greek Box set.. Great audience tape on the Archive
- VirgoHeadJoined:Dead Reggae Covers - Fire
@topchinacat: I have both CD volumes of the Fire on the Mountain Dead reggae covers. The songs are done by the absolute legends of roots reggae. I read a story about the sessions where the artists came in never having heard the songs once before and rocked them in one take. I bought these in the mid-90s when I was new to reggae and since have accumulated a ton. That said, these covers hold up really well and still sound great today on their own or in any roots reggae mix.
- Crow Told MeJoined:Number One in Where?
I've often wondered about that Turlock thing, too. Weir made that remark numerous times, so it doesn't seem like just an offhand reference in which he could've inserted the name of any old no name town. (ie, "number one in Cucamonga" or El Centro or whatever).
I imagined maybe there was a radio station there that played lots of Bakersfield country (Turlock is down that way), and I even went so far as to look that up. But if there was a station, it's long gone.
So I guess Turlock just stuck in Bobby's mind, for some reason. I've driven through half a million times, because it's on I-5, and you pretty much have to go through there if you're traveling from SF to LA, as one does many times if lives in Cali. But I don't think I've ever stopped, and I can't remember a damn thing about the place. Other than that they love Truckin'. Which means they're probably pretty darn A-OK.
3-19-73 is a killer, for sure. Just like practically everything I've ever heard from '73. What an epic year.
What am I listening to right this second? Aaron Copland's piano concerto. (It's morning at La Casa del Crow, still drinkin me coffee.) Very jazzy and dissonant.
