    Not a sports fan at all, will watch super bowl and world series with group, but really don't care.

    I felt sorry for Pete Rose, I feel I heard a story about wife abusers being allowed into the hall of fame, but not Pete?

    On another note, I have a new favorite song. Maybe a bunch of you have heard of him, but I hadn't, Jelly Roll. He was on Saturday Night Live this weekend and did a tune called "Winning Streak". A search of "Jelly Roll - Winning Streak (Live on SNL)" will pull it up. It's a tune about a alcoholic going to his first AA meeting.

    One of the best refrain lines EVER

    I was so ashamed to be in this seat, til I met a man who was 20 years clean
    He said, 'Everybody here's felt the same defeat. Nobody walks through these doors on a winning streak.'

    Check it out. Hope you find it as good as I do.

    And, no, I've never had an addiction or been to any sort of meeting.

    RIP Pete Rose

    A true legend

    He got screwed over

    Way back in 1975 I went to a Cubs game vs. the Reds...went down toward the field pregame

    Here is Johnny Bench Dave Concepcion and Pete Rose warming up

    That was cool to a 6th grader

    Still cool to me now

    He so much deserved to be in the Hall of Fame

    2/11/69 - Fillmore East

    Not forgetting the above treasure trove that came out on vinyl fairly recently. Again, highly recommended, both for the music played and the sound quality. "180 gram audiophile vinyl" it says on the spine of the record, and it sounds like it.

    Pete Fountain 'Swinging Blues'

    My Mom's favorite band after she and Dad saw Pete and his band play live in New Orleans (1969?).

    And that reminded me of the David Crosby interview where he called the Dead "psychedelic Dixieland.'

    Seems about right!

    11-10-67 vinyl sounds awesome

    There is 69 vinyl.
    FW69 which was Plangentized (the CD’s were not, so the vinyl is a remaster) and 4-26%,27-69 DP26.

    1968 on vinyl

    JFCattlet74.....not exactly, but as close as damnit is 11/10/67 that was included in the 30 Trips box. That one came out in vinyl shortly afterwards, and sounds superb. As you probably know, this was one of the shows that was recorded and used as a basis for Anthem of the Sun, and it has all the hallmarks of a great 1968 show.

    Speaking of which, 2/14/68 would go down well on vinyl. I think they have steered clear of Road Trips for vinyl so far - something of an untapped resource there.
    I would also have snapped up 8/21/68 on vinyl if I had known where to get it.

    Origins

    I'm currently listening to the vinyl companion that came along with the graphic biography of the early Grateful Dead, Origins. It's a single-disc recording from the Fillmore West, 8/21/68. Side A: Dark Star -> St. Stephen Side B: The Eleven -> Death Don't Have No Mercy.

    I have only listened to it a couple of times before, it strikes me listening again this time that the highlight is really Death Don't Have No Mercy. The band is really tight and in sync, both technically and emotionally. There are lots of quiet moments and loud moments in the song, and Jerry's guitar works screams like a man in pain and sorrow.

    I prefer listening to 70s-era and Brent-era GD simply because their repertoire is so much larger than it was in the 60s, but there is such a raw, energetic sound to their earlier work as well that I really love. Aside from this single-disc release and Two From The Vault there isn't any other live material from them available on vinyl that I know of, I wish they would release more.
