Grateful Dead

Ok episode 005 July 1988 of Dead Head TV is uploaded to:

Dreams We Dreamed dot com

Features reports and reviews of the band's Greek Theater and Laguna Seca runs of 1988.

Please note there is no charge for streaming these videos, I'm making them available for those who are interested, free of charge. They were originally created by deadheads for deadheads so if you couldn't get to the show, you could get a feel for the scene and show highlights. Now they probably are time capsules from decades ago. And hopefully a little entertaining.

I love raw oysters, a good caesar salad, crab cakes, shrimp cocktails, seared ahi, off the top of my head.

Boxes boxes boxes. If I had to choose three, tough call. At this moment I would run with the July 78 box, the Europe box, and this upcoming 73 box. Maybe I can hold under my arm the Winterland boxes, too. Don't have the FW69 box, it would be a contender.

Isn’t Mono Lisa a black and white facsimile?
I’ve played #46 once today, checking the discs are OK. Sounds good but I’ll give it a proper listen when I’m less tired. Just think we might never have had the 35 min TOO if only the band had listened to the man writing the second review on the cd and stuck to boogieing :))

Geez Dennis, I’ve got Nat King Cole’s “Mona Lisa” roiling around my head! My father loved NKC, and actually bought a 5 record box set of his music circa late 60s (?), that he wore the grooves down on. Probably the only box set he ever owned!

VGuy - I’m really enjoying (Name Redacted), and just got a really clean copy of Hampton Comes Alive for a great price, so that’s bound to get some play this weekend. Great music. Good luck against the Oilers dynamic duo tonight. My PVR is set to tape my Leafs, and I’ll avoid the radio driving home, watch it all in the wee hours when I get back.

Water Cooler Fact - Some scholars believe Mona Lisa may have been, in fact, modelled on Leo Da V himself. Not sure if Leo liked to step out as a “lady”, or if he just felt he made a good model for the painting.

Jack/Oro/Mr Ones - The rides far from over boys. Hang tight!

....with MSG Entertainment to play The Sphere here in sin city.
If you haven't heard of The Sphere yet, I suggest you check it out. I, for one, am very excited and curious.
U2 already scheduled to play a 25 date residency there.
Cost 2.3 billion to build. Yikes! Went wayyyy over budget but it sure looks cool and the immersive tech stats are very impressive.
With F1 coming here in November and the Super Bowl next year, Vegas is making plays Boi!

yeah!!

She would only smile once.

Moaning Lisa men have named you.

Back to my painting. Working on the ceiling.

Momos 🥟. Yak meat is the best filling but only to be found in yak country.

Laboratory-created Frankenstein food? No thanks.

46 has not made it from customs to the Dutch postal service yet. Maybe, hopefully tomorrow.

topped with chipolte, bourbon , butter sauce. Followed by bbq rib eye steaks, potato salad, garlic bread, and ice cold Sierra Nevada Torpedos . Yes indeed!

Finally got to the third disc of DaP 46 last night. Had a long drive, got myself into the appropriate mind set, and hit play, and that 35 minute TTO definitely hit the spot. Amazing to me, given how many versions I've listened to, that I'm still hearing new things in this jam. This one definitely goes to some interesting places. Kind of weird that the disc ends with El Paso, when the show actually ends with Casey Jones and Saturday, which of course are on disc 2 here. But if that's what it took to get this show onto three discs, I'm not going to complain.

Audio is excellent. Vocals do sound a little raw at times, as if the guys felt like they needed to shout to be heard in the monitors maybe, but the fi is indeed hi overall.

Dave's on a roll. Very stoked about everything since 39 and can't wait for the '73 box.

Mono Lisa? That'd be a good band name. Especially if you're kind of garage punk, with a female singer.

Pretty sure I was there once, but was already wasted upon arrival and no hungry memories. We too like the Morningstar bacon. The only brand to nail it. Just had BLTs with it two nights ago. Of all the attempts at vegan meats that bacon is the closest to the real carne flavor. Nobody seems to have mastered vegan chicken yet. Beyond Meat burgers are the second best attempt and are great on the barbie, as are their brats. Dang, I'm getting hungry!
Cheers

Still muddling through my Kezar tapes this AM but hope to get to DaP 46 later today, or if I'm allowed it will accompany some playoffs tonight.

And that Yes 21 LP box set at Rhino looks interesting. Seven shows from 1972. Also new Joni, Pretenders (Chrissie still hot), and Otis Redding. Stop making me buy stuff Rhino.

Rick Wakeman or Keith Emerson, who do you love?

In honor of Canadaland's second consecutive night of sweeps later today, I will nominate Duck Confit Poutine. You can only take about two bites before your arteries seize up, but it's worth it.

South of the border has to be chicken wings. Hot and extra crispy. Although some will argue that it could be considered a main course if supplemented by enough beer.

My personal favorite, simply because it is shared with a group, is a charcuterie board. Love the combination of figs and a good blue cheese as well as some kornishons to balance out a nice slice of prosciutto. You can all stop laughing now.
