Who's up for a revolutionary evolutionary ride? DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30: FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 1/2/70 captures the Grateful Dead as they make their first foray from the experimental 60s into their early 70s acoustic Americana period. Yes, this one is a little bit country and a little bit (psychedelic) rock and roll.

When the "Magnificent Seven" - Pigpen on percussion, T.C. on keys - first took the stage on 1/2/70, evidence was clear that the trip was about to take a turn. From their western wears to the twang in Jerry’s “broken-string blues,” it appeared they'd brought the Bakersfield sound to the Big Apple. They worked through much of what would become Workingman's Dead, stunning the crowd with laid-back numbers like "Uncle John's Band," "Casey Jones," and "Black Peter." Just the same, they satisfied 60s stalwarts with magical versions of "Dark Star," "St. Stephen," and "That's It For The Other One." Sonic alchemy, indeed!

DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30: FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK, New York 1/2/70 has been rounded out with a bit of 1/3/70 (the subscribers-only bonus disc features the bulk of 1/3/70). It was recorded by the great Owsley "Bear" Stanley and has been lovingly mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman.

DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30 is limited to 20,000 individually-numbered copies*.

*Limited to 2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

What Charlie said, well done.
Doing anything everyday is probably not good for you, whatever it is! Yin/yang etc., Balance is the key to life. Compounded over many years/decades will most likely lead to health issues, or worse.
Also, everybody is different, and so every substance wether asprin or whatever, can effect people differently. That is one reason why I feel the methodology employed by law enforcement to determine a persons ability drive is unconstitutional........I’m not for a minute suggesting that there is no regulation needed there, only that the current methods are not right!
We old timers talk crazy about the old days, but it’s a much different world now. “Law come to get ya when you don’t walk right”....So have fun, but get to know your body, know what your taking, be safe, and more importantly be responsible!

This public service announcement brought to you by old burned out freaks, convicts, recoverers and others who’ve been there. 😉

I recall in a toxicology class learning that the poison is in the dose - in other words most things can become toxic if taken to excess. Don't believe me? Google what can happen if you drink too much water at one time. Spoiler alert, it can kill you. Minas is correct to the extent that excessive use of psychedelics can cause some crispiness to ensue, however, moderate use did not seem to have the same impact, and use of other substances may complicate the issue. There was a period where I was probably tripping a couple times a week and I was crispy, although I was also high 24/7. At a frequency of dosing approximately once per week I was not crispy and did pretty well in my calculus class, a good indicator that I had not suffered any real damage. After regular consumption, lets say an average of once per week for a period of several years, my scores on standardized testing for post-bachelor degree education still came out in the top 1-2%, again, support that no real damage was done.

With regard to the treatment of depression and anxiety and the administration of psychedelics, mushrooms or ketamine for example, the dosing regimen that I have seen involve administration of a low dose, talk therapy for a couple weeks followed by administration of a higher dose of the psychedelic. That's it, two doses, and the depression and anxiety is alleviated for months or longer. Unlike cocaine's effect on depression, which is to briefly alleviate and then exacerbate it, the impact of psychedelics is persistent from one or two doses. How many Xanax do you have to take in that time? Also, Xanax is no joke, it is a benzodiazepine with some serious potential side effects, including negative impacts on cognitive abilities, the fact that you are physically dependent after a period of use and will have severe side effects if use is suddenly stopped. It is not innocuous.

Use what works for you at a frequency that works for you, but be aware that whatever you are using can probably be overdone. Sorry to ramble, but I could talk about psychedelics and the current research all day.

Drug box

I don't care what the next box is I'm looking forward to it. It'll have cool packaging and be old (new) live Dead music that I don't already have... what's not to love.

I've done as many drugs as anyone here. I'm sure of it. Not that it's a contest, but I used to live for that shit. Now, I can say without doubt that the best one can ever feel is fresh out of bed early in the morning, or just after exercise. But to each his own... just don't get lost out there. Peace everyone.

Box Announcement

So, no box Announcement this week. 😡
Looks like we will have to wait at least another week!

Been Listening to Dick's 28 from early 1973 the last two days, just love this one. 73 was such a strong year for the boys. Have not come across one that I don't love.

My two cents

To say that psychedelic use is a great cure for depression it's kind of like saying cocaine is a great cure for depression. I'm never depressed after a line of coke!

I have two friends who microdose acid everyday to help deal with anxiety. Buddy one, he says it helps, and I'm not saying lithium makes people any more coherent than psychedelics, but he is a completely different person now. I think he's actually become manic. And very forgetful. He told me twice in the same 3 hour get together that he had begun micro dosing. He completely forgot that he told me the first time and started the story fresh about two hours into a poker game. The other day he texted that his car was stolen so I called him to make him feel better and to hear his story. We spoke about it for 15 minutes. The very next day he texted me that I was never going to believe it but his car got stolen. The manic part I spoke of his that he just comes up with these crazy ideas that he gets fixated on and goes on and on in a nonlinear fashion about it. Like an invention to replace windshield wipers. LOL he is a dear friend but he is greatly changed. When he was on real depression medicine he did very well but complained that it made him tired and required a nap in the day. This all transpired in the last year. He was on the Xanax for 6 months and now he's been microdosing instead for 6 months. I miss Xanax guy.

Special message to Hendrix freak. I am not at all criticizing you or your use of recreational psychedelics. I trip once or twice a year, or at least did before I had an accident last year. I like tripping. I just don't think that it can be used everyday without changing a person. And I am not saying that it has changed you for the worst. I don't even know you so it would be ridiculous for me to make any kind of judgment like that. I just want you to know that my comments above relate to my buddy. A case study if you will.

Then there is his partner in crime, buddy number two. We now refer to him as mr. Paranoia. I think he's a little bit beyond the micro part of microdosing. He's not even depressed. He just likes to do drugs. He has run his business into the ground so badly his wife came to me for advice. Just to give you some perspective she hates me. She's the kind of gal who believes if you criticise women you're a misogynist. So for example, I once mentioned that my girlfriend and I had a funny miscommunication due to her inability to write neatly. I literally went to the wrong airport because I couldn't make out what she wrote. She admits this freely and blames the constant use of typing on electronic devices as the reason her writing looks like spaghetti now. Buddy number two's wife laid into me about that story. The point is that these drugs they are doing on a daily basis I really turning their brains into mush. They both have families and children and I think the more responsibility you have the easier it is to get carried away on this stuff. Sure it sounds like there's an article that supports they use for fighting depression. I don't know what that authors political slant is. I don't know what the studies political slant is. Maybe they're talking it up or maybe in some severe cases of depression it's better than nothing.

Sorry for the long post. Haven't used just about every kind of drug under the sun, I am well aware of the flipside dangers to mind and health. When I was using regularly I made excuses for it and quoted the first study I could Google that seemed to support my habit. Looking back I know that all of the recreational drugs harm us if used daily. Cocaine, marijuana, shrooms and acid, opioids, etc. I believe most of us recreational users who begin using recreationally everyday kind of hide behind the label of recreation and cringe at the word addiction.

I tried changing my username to Minas Ithil but had technical issues. Minas Ithil was the White Tower before it was taken over by evil forces, becoming the Fortress of the witch King and being renamed Minas Morgul. A man with a dark streak always has a dark streak, at best he can shine enough light to keep the dog at Bay. You want to talk about a trip? Try fading in and out of fevered consciousness for a couple of days with no way to get help or even move your body without pain you never thought yourself capable of having. The thing about trauma and being close to death is that the cover of protection that you put up around your psyche to get through the days is lifted forever. You start to see things as they really are and not how your psyche wants them to be.

Ongoing psychedelic drug use

Very interesting that there seems to haver been a lot more research done with psychedelic drugs over the last five years or so - and that the results seem to be so positive. Earlier this week, in one of the main national newspapers-The Guardian-there was a double page centre spread on how tests with psilocybin suggested that it was possibly the best antidote to depression yet identified.

This was definitely my experience. Between 1987 and 1993, I found myself living in a flat surrounded by fields in which mushrooms grew between September and November. Consequently, during those years, I would trip once a week, maybe into December, and then nothing until the same season the following year. They were great years on every level, far and away better than the preceding ones had been. I always took them on my own, and then joined friends later in the evening. It all came to an end when I got a professional qualification in 1993, and had to leave the area to take up my new job. Which is where I still live. I never bothered looking for them here, although I was tempted to at first. In any case, it felt inappropriate, given the new role I had taken on. I haven't taken them since 1993, and although I no longer feel tempted to, I have no regrets whatsoever about taking them at that time.

As ever, the biggest risk with illegal drugs, as I understand it, is rooted, in their illegality. With acid, in my late teens and twenties, the massive contrast in potency-and in what was actually being sold as "acid" seemed to vary wildly. It felt a bit like Russian Roulette, to me. So I am not so chipper about all that.

Te-Kill-Ya

The discussion of tequila reminds me of my drinking days in college. One night I was drinking with a couple girls and one other guy. We were drinking Jose Cuervo, with the worm in the bottle. The idea was that whoever got the shot with the worm in it had to consume it. By the time we got close to the bottom, we were all pretty sloshed. And when the girl who poured the shot with the worm falling into it saw that thing, we all roared and she shrieked, “I’m not tucking that fouching worm!” True story.

Last Five....

....btw. the first one you mention was the last one you listened to....
Elton John - Madman Across The Water (current)
Elton John - 17-11-70
Phish - 11.3.18 Grand Garden Arena, Sin City (was present. And it was good)
Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection
GOGD - Fox Theatre 3.18.71
.
.
Bonus Fives. The first two Elton John records. You see, I saw this certain movie recently, and I'm committed to listen to his entire catalogue. So if I seem redundant over the next few weeks, that is why 😉. Im like the moon. Phases....
Madman ended while I was typing this. Cue Honky Chateau. Imagine putting Honky on an album title these days. Oh Lordy!!

It's all in fun. I would not push the limit. Your right it could come back.

Garcia live 11

They seem to have put a cut from the new one up on the Garcia site. You can hear the whole album on spotify.

Hope that link works.

Wow

but anyway

interesting (?) random share

wtf

methinks...

box setting announcement won't be until August 1

just got GD bulletin

no box announcement

they are going to make us wait

"they're never early
they're always late
first thing you learn is
you always gotta wait"

I've seen all good Deadheads turn their heads each day

so satisfied, I'm on my way

David Gilmour Five

Yes it's true, David Gilmour has finally launched his long-awaited Dave Clark Five tribute project.

Okay, maybe not. However, there's a news item out there that over one hundred of David Gilmour's guitars went up for auction earlier today in New York. Monies raised amounted to over 21 million dollars... that famous black Strat alone went for nearly 4 million.

He's donating all the proceeds to a charity comprised of lawyers and environmentalist types, hoping to combat climate change on the front lines. Still an idealist, after all these years. My hat is off to him.

In that spirit, his was the most recent listen of my past five:

David Gilmour - Rattle That Lock

Traffic - John Barleycorn Must Die

Grateful Dead - 5/17/77, Tuscaloosa AL

KISS - Alive II

Paris Combo - 5

\m/

Ha..

Gilmore tribute to the Dave Clark Five. You had me man.. albeit you had me in disbelief, but what do I know anyway.

Great head fake and I did google it just to be sure.

Big Gilmour fan, I don't hide that. Really pissed I missed the auction for the Black Strat.. oh well. Glad to see such a generous donation for such an important cause.

Saw Dave the last time he came to the states.. a meltdown performance for sure, but a bit bittersweet as Richard Wright was not able to attend and I believe this means we will probably not see any surviving members of the Floyd play Meddle again. At least that was my take.. I could be wrong.

Go David, Go. I'm with you man.. a tribute album to the Dave Clark Five, or a take on the Dave Brubeck Quartet or perhaps The Captain and Tennille and friends do the Floyd.. It could very well be we don't see too much work from Mr. Gilmour, whatever he gives us I will at least pay attention to.

I've never seen any form of Pink Floyd live....

....but why feel bad for me? I'm not sad about it. Here's a bunch of cats, and a dog or two.
https://youtu.be/oBETyXYXWeQ
Edit. Over 100 guitars? Damn David.

Re: Dave's 5 Bonus Disc...Whuh?!

Pretty sure Dave's 5 didn't come with a bonus disc, LMG. Not that I can recall at least. Granted, I'm not the sharp tack that I once were. But if a bonus disc was riding shotgun with the UCLA show (one of my faves), I'd love to hear it.

Traffic lights, crosswalks, "vehicles", crosswalks again, store fronts, traffic lights again, buses...

It's like running the gauntlet.

legalize weed to win

lol funny, you actually said it twice, like you want someone to say something, ok, I'll bite. It's base will never ratify legal weed, they hate anything that gives you a buzz, the religious zealots will not allow it, the staunch repubs will not allow it and the ignorant will not allow it, so that's off the table, but it's funny that you would think that. It will have to think up something else to fool the public with this time, we have all heard it's "dirty stories" and none of them are real. Just more lies from the master of lies. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Excuse me

excuse me

pardon me

coming through

watch your feet

Ooops sorry

pardon me, excuse me

pardon me, excuse me (hey down in front)

If I could just

Squeeze past a moment

and get to my seat

Ah that's better

Shoulda worn a size thoyteen!

Now where were we? The box set. My personal hope is 1972, and big big big. But if it's not 1972, I would be floored with either the Port Chester or Fillmore East shows from '71.

Peace all, have a Grateful Day

Hey, Hey

Got the launch codes from my buddy last night to watch Dead & Company in Jersey. I can say I ALMOST NEVER watch video of bands. But there was nothing but shit on and I was curious about making this shit work on my TV. After futzing for quite a while I got it to work thru the X-Box.

Couple of things -

Guess I got it working between sets and they were showing an interview with Jerry. Where I came in he was talking about Neal. I was enjoying this when it just ended and switched back to the concert. Anyone know what or where this interview can be had?

Second - Though I did not watch the whole thing I watch Ship of Fools. I thought they did a marvelous job on it. Oteil vocals were VERY nice.

Red & White, Blue, no green suede shoes

Dear Sammy,
First, let me apologize for repeating myself. I come here just to relax and goof and hopefully feel a sense of community. Something that I’m severely lacking in these days. So I do so very informally. Sorta like a jam session, especially since I have no outlets to play music anymore. I also have read too much Cassidy, Kerouac, Kesey etc, so I tend to stream of consciousness too much. That problem caused me grief during my educational years. Finally, I’m old and forget a lot. So again, I apologize to you and everyone for this fault.
Secondly, things have been slow around here so sometimes I’m just trying to throw things out there that maybe will jump start some conversation. It’s amazing how many different, fun, and interesting things we can learn here, Deadheads have always been an interesting bunch, from Jerry on down.
Lastly, to your comment, your probably right, except he seems to be able to do what ever he wants and the base doesn’t care; pussy grabbing, infidelity, constant lying etc...they love em anyway. More importantly, it’s all about money....like Weir Says “the whole goddamn government is bought and sold” So if for example, the Koch brothers decided that their missing out on a multi-billions, yes with a B, and decide they want in, I believe the PTB will find a way to spin it so it works for them/him to hold unto power, while making bank at the same time...
Maybe they’ll take the “let’s help the poor epileptic children” tack and come in the back door with medical like most states have?
This stuff is usually never about the base it’s about getting the opposition, to steal votes, or gain the fence sitters. So that and making the power elite (see C. Wright Mills) the one percent etc filthy rich is why I think this way. Trump himself has changed his stance slightly, didn’t he even tell lil Jeff to back off a bit? The man is a chameleon, and one of the things he’ll always change for is money!
In closing, let me say I don’t support this administration, but I basically think all the government, no matter what party...their all a bunch of slimy, greedy, crooks, that’ll do anything for money and/or power.
Sorry, don’t mean to get political here folks......
Hopefully now back to drums and space.....

Dreading

Lmao

Awesome posts

Oro

I enjoy your posts.. as for repeating ourselves... now what were we talking about again, how does this song go?

Oh yea, I repeat myself when I distressed.

*Re/ Dead & Company Citi Field...

...anyone attending the Dead & Company concert this Sunday at Citi Field, June 23rd 2019???...🙏❤️💀

oroborous, very well said and I agree with a lot of what you say

but you do remember that it mentioned legalization before and the evangelists lost it and sent him a multi signed letter or something to that effect saying that they would not support such a thing. I think the world would be a better place if marijuana was legal, but unfortunately, there is still more money in incarceration than legalization. I have been waiting my entire adult life for legalization, or at least decriminalization, and when it comes, I hope that they forgive all past convictions and release all offenders from incarceration and wipe all offenses from the people's record that have been prosecuted.
I also like and welcome your posts, it just seemed that you wanted to talk about the situation and I assumed that is why you mentioned it twice, forgive me if I was wrong, just the fact that you even mentioned it on this site is brave and I salute you for that, unfortunately, if you talk about anything now days that matters, it seems that you have to include what he might do.
By the by, you can call me Unkle, or you can call me Sam, but please, not Sammy. lol

*Re/ Listen’n

...been enjoying the Grateful Dead Movie soundtrack 5CD release. CD#2 knocked my socks off earlyier and CD 3 is working it’s magic as I write this...I wasn’t always a huge fan of the mix back in 1994 I believe, because the mix had a lot of added bass or reverb something of that effect but I’m love’n it now.
🙏❤️💀

No bad feelings-Charlie3

I have been away for a while, and just seen your post-no you did not cause any bad feelings at all. And I liked that poem you printed out by Hartley Coleridge. I know of him as STC's son, but I didn't know he was also a poet in his own right.

Just got back from London seeing King Crimson and a Van Gogh exhibition - incredible. I did expect the box announcement when I came on here, though. I think this is because I feel as though I have been away longer in terms of experience than I have in actual measurable time.

Floyd playing Meddle-Jim

Just seen your post saying that it seems unlikely that any surviving members of Floyd would play any of Meddle again. I don't know if they play in the States, but Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets band played Fearless when I saw them a few months ago-maybe One of These Days, too-but I'm not so sure about that one. I don't think any of them will ever play Echoes again, though. But definitely worth seeing if they do pitch up in your neck of the woods.

S.K. Dark tower

King crimson was also a character in the Stephen king dark tower series if I remember correctly. All hail the crimson king.

NHL draft tonight 8 pm Eastern

Let’s go Red Wings.

that's painful to watch

Watching JimInMD's King Crimson video. Never gave these guys a fair chance. Probably the only big prog band of the 70s I ignored. That music is so complex and weirdly timed that they can't even play without watching each other. Funny. Doesn't look like much fun. I like Mr. Clean Tony Levin. He toured with Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe in '89. I didn't realize Bruford was on the electronic drum kit as early as '82. It would have been nice to hear Bruford with Yes throughout the '70s, but he would have walked out during Topographic Oceans sessions if he hadn't already walked out after Close to the Edge. Or I guess he may have brought some balance to the record. But to leave before the Close to the Edge Tour was sheer madness. Or perfectly good musical reasons (rabullshitahemahem).

*Re/ citi Field this Sunday

...nobody here going to the show this Sunday at citi Field nyc??? 🙏❤️💀

Iiiiiittttsssss Friday!...

So come on and let the good times roll....even if it takes allll night long!

KIETHFAN; where art though? Hopefully your not turning blue in some nitrous haze?
Perhaps you’ve gone deep into the quintessential comparative analysis of quadlibit for the tenderfoot, or comparing guitar intonation of all the cautions? Be careful amigo and remember to always ware your seatbelt 😁

DAVEROCK: welcome back, sounds like an awesome London trip! Haven’t been to a London yet, bet it’s amazing?
Alas, like brother vguy I have not seen any of the Floyd gang, sigh, but as you say, I hear Nick Masons new gig is great!
If they come somewhere close etc, will try and catch them.

JIMMD; I don’t care what anyone says, your alright!

UNCLE; I don’t disagree with you and can see it play out either way. It’s so true that unfortunately there is still so much fear and loathing about the devils weed! Idiots! Its so ironic that often the folks who are so scared of it are angry drunk types. I especially agree with your mention of the whole Crimal Justice system for profit as a major pathology in our supposed free society. Also, thanks for the kind words. As far as “going through all these things twice” perhaps subliminally I did repeat it it intentionally lol. .....or I mighta forgot 😉
Oh, but can we call you uncle Sammy!

CHARLIE; aaa, I forget but there was something from the last day or too, oops.
Oh, also, I believe you live near old Tom from Mountain men? If so, my wife wants to know if he’s “as sweet in real life as on tv”.....that is if you even know him? That sure is puuurty country up,there!

CASEYJANE; ??? Starting to get worried....you haven’t made us laugh in a while....believe last we heard you were prepping for the gorge?

WILFRED, how you holding up?

Ok, it’s strawberry beer time!
Rock on mi amigos and have a wonderful WE!

B.W.M. 5/9/77

Buffalo, war memorial 5/9/77 tape is broken. I still listen to my tape player.

Beer

The package store next to my house just received a beer and wine license, so fresh beer when needed. Just what the Doctor ordered!!!

Strawberry beer

What? It sounds strange and doable. Who makes it?

Re: Daverock/Meddle

Funny.. I was thinking Echo's and wrote Meddle. Sorry, about that.. and you skillfully meandered around my mistake in a most polite way. You are a kind soul Daverock.. thanks for always pushing the conversations forward.

But yes.. Echo's. Maybe Nick or Roger will perform it again, but I don't think they currently are (then again haven't been tracking that close). David Gilmour has already indicated he likely won't play it again. Something about the timing and his finger work just won't convey with someone on Keys.

Mountain Men and Artists

Never heard of the mountain man show till your post, but when I looked it up it appears that Tom lives in the Yaak which is way more remote than where I am which is about a 1/2 hour south of Missoula. The Yaak is way up in the Northwest corner of the state. I moved from New York to Montana in '97 and I love Montana. Nice low population density and spectacular scenery, people are generally nice, great place. But don't get any ideas, we're full;)

DaveRock, the Van Gogh exhibit must have been awesome, some of his stuff really does it for me. I am not really educated as far as painting and art, but I know what I like and Van Gogh is on the list. Also really dig Edward Hopper and a number of Japanese Wood Block artists, particularly Hiroshige and Kawase Hasui. Something about some of those woodblocks just clicks for me, especially some of the Kawase Hasui. I believe that Van Gogh was also a Hiroshige fan. I think both Hopper and Hasui looked at the 20th century transition from rural and pastoral to modern and urban, with Hopper doing a great job capturing the sense of modern social isolation. Good stuff. As far as the Hartley Coleridge poem, I dig some of those romantic poets, especially William Wordsworth, and some of the American transcendentalists. So much stuff to dig, so little time...

Fruity beers....

....they are everywhere. Tonight I bought a sixer of Dragons & YumYums by Dogfish Head in collaboration with The Flaming Lips. Excuse me while I break out the bifocals. Ingredients. Pale Ale brewed with Dragonfruit, Yumberry, Passion Fruit, Pear and Black Carrot juice.
....and it's pretty Yumberryish. Yum.

Beer and Montana

Yum....

CARLO: yaaassss strawberry beer. Normally don’t go for that kinda stuff, but in this case it’s usaully done well, meaning not overdone. For best results it must be ice cold and on a hot day.....unfortunately it’s supposed to snow here tonight ; ) It is made only once a year at the Gleenwood Springs Brewpub. It’s a good half hour to forty minute ride and we have arrived to find them already temporarily sold out, but the drive through Glenwwod canyon alone is worth it.
It’s only available while supplies last, which is usually through the weekend, occasionally it might last a week or so...
Becareful of that new neighbor, as familiarity can bread contempt 😉

CHARLIE; perhaps I’m thinking of old Character (retired) Rich Lewis from the Ruby valley, or his young replacement Jake Hedak from the Tabacoo Root mountains?, or the bitterroot valley sounds familiar? Sorry I’m getting mixed up?
Knew old Tom was way up yonder, but somehow thought you were up there too. Wherever, I’m sure it’s awesome,
Only drove though there from Portland to Bozeman to do merch at a Band show at the High School Auditorium back in 96 I think it was, and then on to Boulder.....some wild, amazing drives! I’ll always remember from Spokane through the panhandle and across Montana to Bozeman....one of the best drives ever! Remember back then hitting the tana border and this giant sign declaring the speed limit as “reasonable and prudent”? With like 70 after dark....so I asked the cop at the show the next night what the hell that means, it’s pretty ambiguous? So he says it depends on what your driving and what the conditions are, and yes just like Jay Leno used to say, we pull you over and basically give you like a ten dollar fine lol....
Know what your saying about no more room at the inn, hear tana’s catching up to Colorado, but it’s starting to be friggin Cali here, hell half of Cali is moving here, and of course half of Texas comes every summer! But c’est la vie!
Ok, enough ramblin, time to go fire up the two channel and PLAY DEAD!

Thanks

Thanks for the fruit beer tutorial guys.

Reasonable and Prudent

Yeah, that was the speed limit when I moved out here and it was EXCELLENT. Can't complain too much though, daytime limit on the interstate is still 80 mph and 70 mph on the other highways.

Cruising @ 80 mph....

....(or pushing 85 w/ no repercussions), would make the huge state of Montana just a little bit smaller.
....sativa thoughts.

London Calling

Looking at the post below this one, its surprising to see a v.d clinic advertising on here. Anyway...

Orobouros-London is great and terrible at the same time. I am very lucky, swanning about to art galleries and concerts. King Crimson played at The Royal Albert Hall, one of the most luxurious venues in town. But...there are abandoned bodies just lying on the street. Outside my hotel coming back from the gig there was a young man kneeling on the sidewalk next to a girl, pleading with her to wake up. And there are building works every where. Little nooks and crannies are being ironed out and replaced with glass and steel buildings owned by corporations. So...its a city.

Charlie-you seem to haver similar taste to art and poetry as me. I know nothing about art either, but I do like going to galleries-and there was a brilliant Edward Hopper one here about 10 years ago. The Van Gogh paintings were incredible to actually see, as opposed to looking at the reproductions. The paintings seem to be almost alive-bursting with colour and energy. I couldn't believe my eyes. I have never taken time to look at Japanese art-as you suggest-so much to love-so little time.
I also like the romantic poets-Coleridge-the other one- and William Blake are the ones I keep returning too. I love the illustrated copies of Blakes poetry. The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, with its instructional Proverbs of Hell could appeal to any curious Deadhead.

As for the music of King Crimson-Trainwrecked-I would look away now. There are an ever increasing quantity of expensive box sets being released, and once you tip your toe in the water-splash! If you are foolish enough to risk it, the essential ones are the first, "In The Court of the Crimson King", and the final 70s one, "Red".

Mild Diversion

Woke up this morning a little after 7 to a crisp low humidity 52 degrees, brewed a fresh pot of some fine Ethiopian coffee I roasted yesterday.. and decided to hit the front porch to watch the hummingbirds and check out TIGDH on SiriusXM (6/22/85 Alpine Valley).

I forgot.. they do this big road bike race called the Gran Fondo in the county where I live… so multitudes of road bikers zoom past the house all day long. Very cool.. I got to hell Get of my Grass, Hippies to hundreds of people.. There's a 1,000 foot downhill section that ends just as you pass my house, then they cross the river and climb....

It's a multi-tiered race attracting 1,000.. the hardest race is the Diabolical Double.. 126 miles with over 16,500 feet of climbing. There's some sick, twisted people out there.. There are easier races. Anyway.. most enjoyable to tell 1,000 people to stay off my grass.

Sorry for the diversion, back to your regularly scheduled Day Job Encore.
