Billy, I'm a bit jealous. Never got to see him. The closest was I took a day trip to St. Louis one time, and I saw Fahey was playing that night, but I couldn't talk any of my friends to stay (of course no one had even heard of him). But I did get to see another hero, Dave Van Ronk, play one time in Atlanta. Small bar, less than 100 people. It was supposed to be 2 different shows, but with so few people, no one was asked to leave. I was by myself, and the owner sat down to to say hi, and when I told him I specifically drove in town to see Dave, he took me over to meet him....!

Going with the Wiseman as I believe that’s Nitecat!
Sounds good!PF, yuck yuck
Wonderland…yeah it was lol.
Being locals familiar with the border scene, we dropped exactly on the international border figuring one way or another we’d be through customs before the power came on, but that ment we were already fully powered when we hit wonderland, which in my minds eye looked and felt like we were in a life sized Flintstones episode. You had to enter through the amusement park filled with scared civilians and kiddies everywhere! It’s a miracle we didn’t get the fear lol oh, and I can’t remember which year as this happened both times!
Great White North eh! Those were the daze…Happy Happy whatever your into, hope it’s filled with Dark Stars, cold frosties, and Dennis’ cheesecake; )

DREAM-ON!! - strat-wolf-beanJoined:Keeping with the French Theme ...
5.13.1972 - Lille
It warmed up a bit, and the skies cleared - offering a bit of inspiration, visually. So France was the place to stay.
The sound, especially once they get it all sorted (w/funny banter at the beginning) is great - Jerry rings out all over the place, Keith is very well represented/recorded here, and Billy's drums are super clear. I Really like the BTW and Loser + China-Rider, the Playing and the lovely Other One excursion into He's Gone - as opposed to the reverse order that frequently goes down ...
It's fairly well a stunner of a show, as Phil identified fondly in his book. His playing throughout indicates he was 'feelin' it'. So, even if it might be a bit shorter and therefore deemed one of the 'lesser' E'72 shows, it's still way up there for me.Sidenote: Aarhus, Denmark is similar - not in tone though, as it has a much warmer (indoor, all wood) ambience - in the manner of being both exploratory and chock full of excellent versions/songs - it's another great listen.

We've had his Xmas Vol.2 on vinyl since BITD. Our favorite "non-traditional" Xmas album. I've stopped collecting the old hardware store, tire store, and the every big star on on their label type of Xmas records now that I've got about 20 or so. Some real gems in there and always available in the used pile for peanuts. Most have very little wear as they were only played one week a year. All the best to everyone here for happy holidays.
Cheers
Edit: Checkers came to eat but is hesitant to come in yet so we are developing trust again. Must have gone back to his feral roots. We'll get him back though I'm sure. Thanks again for the support.
