Bolo24 says: An Idea, Perhaps? Since we're all going to have a fair amount of spare time on our hands for the foreseeable future, what about starting another thread where we all listen to the same show/release on a given day and then share impressions afterward? Folks can submit suggestions and one person (not me) picks what we'll all listen to - call it Deadnet Picks or something. Anyway, if this idea is deemed to have merit, I'd suggest one of the loyal regular posters take the lead and do the picking - y'all can decide who. Might be fun. If it does go forward, I nominate Dick's Picks 18 for the first listen. Been talked about here lately, and, had it been a single show rather than a compilation, we'd probably be talking about it in the same conversation as Cornell, Veneta, etc. Or perhaps even Gainesville?? Stay safe and healthy, friends - this planet needs as many Deadheads as possible.

Conekid

Dave's #4, sounds like a good idea Conekid.
Funny, I qued up the Cobo show today from 30 Trips.
Still like Dave's 4 better. Haven't listened to the Cincinnati show so it should be interesting when we get it.

Dying young

Reading John Purcell's excellent collection of essays on Charlie Parker " Now's The Time" made me think slightly differently about this. Regarding Parker, he describes the events of his life as being compressed in time so that he was essentially living at twice the ordinary speed. If he hadn't lived an died the way he did, he may not have been the man he was- and the same would go for Jimi Hendrix.
In some ways it makes me feel sadder when someone who hardly anybody knows dies young. Someone who never had the chance to find out what they could do.

nice Hendrix reference Jim in MD

I work about 4 blocks from Jimi Hendrix Memorial Park in Seattle.

Why oh why did he have to die so young.

Another case of injustice that flourishes in this world.

No Blower

Manual labor here. It's ok though, it gets me out and keeps me honest. Plus, gives me some alone listening time and allows some of the better thinking I get to do.

Good to hear Jim.

Yes, crazy snow across the country. It missed us. We are too far North. Do you have a blower?

Love this show. A three set bonanza .Such a great Truckin and then the Jam out of Truckin.

Be well.

A day late and a dollar short, but I'm in.

It will give me something to do while I shovel my car and truck out... It's a winter wonderland here, at least for the next couple of weeks.
