    Well I was rollin' down the road in some cold blue steel,I had a bluesman in the back, and a beautician at the wheel. We're going downtown in the middle of the night We was laughing and I'm jokin' and we feelin' alright. Oh I'm bad, I'm nationwide. Yes I'm bad, I'm nationwide. Easin' down the highway in a new Cadillac, I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back. They sportin' short dresses, wearin' spike-heeled shoes, They smokin' Lucky Strikes, wearing nylon too. Welcome back, we're nationwide. Yeah we bad, we're nationwide. Well I was movin' down the road in my V-8 Ford, I had a shine on my boots, I had my sideburns lowered. With my New York brim and my gold tooth displayed, Nobody give me trouble cause they know I got it made. I'm bad, I'm nationwide. Girl I'm bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, I'm nationwide.

    @ Fast Thing
    I've been drivin' all night, My hand's wet on the wheel There's a voice in my head That drives my heel It's my baby callin', Says: I need you here And it's a half past four And I'm shifting gear When she is lonely And the longing gets too much She sends a cable Coming in from above Don't need a phone at all We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a wave in the air, Radar Love The radio's playing some forgotten song Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong" The road has got me hypnotized And I'm speeding into a new sunrise When I get lonely, And I'm sure I've had enough She sends her comfort, Comin' in from above Don't need a letter at all We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a line in the sky, Radar Love No more speed, I'm almost there Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care Last car to pass, here I go And the line of cars drove down real slow And the radio played that forgotten song Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong" And the newsman sang his same song One more radar love is gone When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough She sends her comfort, coming in from above We don't need no letter at all We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a line in the sky We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a thing that's called, Radar Love

Hangin' out at Frankie's; everyone was stoned The player, it was playin' something' really gone Some people, they were dancin', and, some we're clappin' hands And, some others were just lyin' close, makin' sweet romance But, the hour was growing later, and, the party had sure been fun And, when Frankie said: "C'mon, let's break it up", everybody spoke out as one Play that fast thing one more time It does something to me, and, it sure feels fine Play that fast thing one more time We're gonna be in clover, don'tcha dare turn it over Why don'tcha play that fast thing one more time All over but the shouting, the end of another show A hundred-and-ten behind 'em, there was forty-four more to go All the people had gone crazy; they'd been jumpin' up and down the aisle And, the mem'ry of their faces, how it made them poor boys smile When somebody said "Oh, c'mon now! Let's make it to the hotel room..." The doors flew back, in come the pack, shouted "Honey, you spoke too soon!" Play that fast thing one more time It does something to me, and, it sure feels fine Play that fast thing one more time You're gonna get some action if we don't get satisfaction No one leave the building 'til we play it one more time! All over but the shouting, the end of another show A hundred-and-ten behind 'em, there was forty-four more of those shows to go Somebody said, somebody said, "Let's make it to the hotel room..." When the doors flew back, in come the pack, shouted "Honey, you spoke too soon!" Play that fast thing one more time It does something to me, and, it sure feels fine Play that fast thing one more time You're gonna get some action if we don't get satisfaction I said, no one leaves the building 'til we play it one more time!

    It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell, "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale, But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53, They drove it down New Orleans to celebrate their anniversary It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

Tom...glad you're back on the bus. Klangstone stole the keys and left a holy mess though. I'll take the wheel for a few weeks, we also have Miami on board. Gonna drop Mr. Fonts in Atlanta tomorrow. We will be in Burgettstown before you know it, SPAC and shithole arena in Camden on the radar. Citi still a hope and a dream. No Chicago here, re. Wrigley....after FTW I swore off of massive cattle call shows. Smaller venues and Vegas and Cap Theater Phil for me from now on. Take care, love to you and yours... Dammit Klangstone take your donut boxes with you next time....

no one stole any dus...Our west coast mayor was duly authorized to drive on the west coast shows, and he left the dack of ba dus pretty clean. The snacks were labelled clearly, unfortunately, bogs can't reab and next thing you know was Sarge got ahold of that ziplock of drownies, he tore into the dox of bonuts and left a royal mess. Ralph said he would take care of the mess, but then the psychedelic squirrels showed up wanting directions back to FTW, and one thing led to another. Just wanted to set the recorb straight, so no-one started a recall movement or anything. Peace, and be kind Ralph.

Hey now and greets, y'all from the ATL. After a 3 outta 4 screamin' sets in Mountain View (Sun nite set one was awful), the boys are now east and we'll be at Lakewood Amphitheater tomorrow night. Weather looks to be cooperating so fingers-crossed they come in ready to serve-up some good ole southern hospitality. BTW, Sat nite at Boulder was amazing. FOD on acoustics - LOVED IT!!!

Great show, got an Easy Wind, Throwing Stones and a belated Flag Day Liberty. Highlight was Lil John doing his best David Lindley falsetto Stay imitation on The Wheel. Only gripe Pennsylvanias 5 0. For Chrissakes, you think El Chappo was in attendance. What a bunch of tools. ASL and Roadking, Enjoy Fenway kids! as an aside, a few weeks ago on another subform my concern that setlists have stagnated since 10/2015.... To quote Rosanne Rosanadana...."nevermind"

Hey rgerrgelis et alii, Glad to hear the feared cloud of stagnation is lifting so more and more spontaneity can seep into Dead & CO '17. You could tell from the nugs tease last night that Burgettstown was going new places (I'd love to hear the whole show). And those Boulder shows were definitely high in the Rockies. Looks like a few clouds may keep temps down in Boston so y'all can better meld with the music. Onward Daydreamers!

A good time was had by all, in spite of the lawn area being oversold by three-fold, in my opinion. And the brief summer shower, even as the horizon cleared for the sunset, came just as Bobby reached the crescendo on Looks Like Rain; perfectly timed. As a 50th birthday present we brought some friends to their first exposure of any kind to this world. They had a blast. And made so memorable for the incident of the friendly fellow who approached us early in the first set and asked if he could leave his Birkenstocks under our beach chairs. We then proceeded to share some of what he grows himself, and did not see him again until the end of intermission. He was OVERJOYED to find us and his sandals. Our friends now have an indelible impression of the nature of interactions between Heads. By now you will have heard of the continuing modifications to the treatments of the old song pairs: China and Rider as bookends to the set rather than a doublet: anything is possible. And what Mr. Mayer did with Deal was epic. EP-IC.

Thanks for sharing Graceful Tom. Those kind of tales just don't come across in the streams & downloads. What a just exactly perfect 50th BD celebration for your lucky friends – sounds like they're now on the bus. And speaking of "bus", where's Geomeister? Anybody spot him at any of the shows? To everybody in Bristow, enjoy the ride tonight. Looks like it'll be cooling off by showtime and the rain will hold off til after midnight (but who'd notice anyway!) Onward!

two very solid shows at Citi and Camden, on to Ohio and Chitown x2... this band has flashes of brilliance...

Yeah, I saw flashes.Or heard. Or something. Before the Camden show the band wrote on Twitter “You know what they say about Sunday shows.” Everyone was waiting for Samson, as on the previous 3 Sundays: didn't happen. But Brokedown Palace has now been played 3 times, each as a Sunday encore. Hmmm.. To me there is no mistaking "They Love Each Other" as a Sunday-theme song. And maybe it's a stretch, but Big Boss Man is fitting. But what about those stained-glass themed graphics? I would not know if they have been used all summer, but it did not seem like a a coincidence.

What a spot on post....the past two nights were magical, something about this band has changed, it has truly evolved...they are no longer the cover band I thought they would become, they have carried these songs we all know to a new level. I thought for sure set 2 first beats was going to be Samson....but Iko with Cowboy Bob on tambourine? C'mon.... TLEO touched my heart....as did the Brokedown encore.... ...never miss a Sunday show, indeed.....

I'll just have to listen after the Wheel's covered just a little more ground. Have a blast and remember "The Pic-A-Nic", whatever that means . . . Onward.

Jeff I streamed entire show from the recliner. It was a marathon where second set more than compensated for the first. A 17 minute Sugaree that made me feel like I was wading thru a sea of Vaseline, but that could have been the marijuana minutes kicking in. Bobby walked off stage mid UJB reprise to end first set, and sort of apologized for it. Bertha was as tasty as new coke can be. I have to stop comparing this iteration to any prior though, as you well know "nothing compares to the real thing". I really, really miss Jerry. He's the real thing, baby. Hey Miami, Happy Birthday have a great show, you know its gonna get stranger.

I really enjoyed the entire show. Bertha still makes me dance every time i hear it.My wife reminded me how much I disliked shakedown street when the vinyl LP came out in 78 or 79. It is one of many songs that I didn't really "get" until I heard it live. Love it now. Oteill on China Doll was excellent. Let Oteill sing, indeed. Can't really think of a low point...music never stopped was just OK in my opinion, if i had to single out something. I really liked STOM. I watched STOM from 7-4-15 right after...gotta say, preferred last night's version. I liked what they did with Me and my uncle. everything.
