    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAhXajgXBuM For me, they nailed this - and what an opener it was! You can tell how pleasantly Bobby is by the middle of the song, as he realizes they're in a special moment or space. Speaking for myself, Mayer has brought back a new life and energy to the Dead's song catologue. Every variation in the line up of acts like Further, The Dead, Phil & Friends, just never quite did it for me, having been fortunate enough to compare it to seeing the Grateful Dead in the 90s. But with Mayer, I'm finally getting flashbacks and I find myself saying, "Oh yeah, that's the sound and feeling I remember..." Guys, we're lucky to be witnessing this "comeback." I understand the detractors, but remember, the younger generations never had a chance to see Garcia, so the important thing is that the love and spirit is carried on. And we're fortunate a player of Mayer's caliber has stepped up to fill the ever-so-big shoes that will never fit. But Mayer is playing from the heart and that IS evident to everyone. His licks are so tasteful and the technicality of his playing is a joy to watch. As for Oteil, I love the guy, but Phil's style and bass bombs are missed. The tour is just at the start, hopefully things will click even more. Cheers and love to all.

On most days I'm now certain that Phish's Amsterdam box contains the finest music I've ever heard (other days it's Hampton/Winston-Salem, Ventura, Chicago...). Trey's play here exemplifies a couple characteristics that were central to Jerry's style, that is, the note unplayed and emotivity. Check out his resurrectory solo beginning at 4:20 (!) - following a midsong wind down to baseline pulse - that is at first poignant, then positively uplifting after rebirth from pregnant pause at 5:42, and which finally soars at 7:28 under power of an updraft generated by Page's piano...

I wonder, just how the heck is it I've never heard of NOFX(?); yet, between a generally aging fan base across my favourite Dead sites and an odd fealty to the increasingly blurred country/pop/hiphop genres here in Appalachia, punk play (like "Charlie don't surf..."). Anyhow, I've discovered an early penchant for later material, so I began by ordering Wolves and Coaster as well as the '99 opus "The Decline"...to the hardcore among you tsk-ing me for neglecting Drublic, White Trash, and the 2 live releases, I assure both you and Bank of America (my warm, fuzzy, caring, corporate VISA underwriter) they'll be coming soon!

Archivist David Lemieux pulled out 5/8/77, beginning w Scarlet Begonias, this morning on his Grateful Dead history show on SiriusXM. Wonder if his copy is a digital bootleg too?

A. Identify Problem B. Implement Solution C. Fail D. Rinse E. Repeat I've all the resolve of cooked fettuccine. Not even al dente. Apparently an internet moratorium is required to arrest expenditures on new music. Discovery of Fat Wreck Chords (think about it) yielded a profligate spree that hooked the VISA for child support toward my collection's new sextuplets, all with punky, alt names like NOFX, Pear, Tony Sly, Fat Mike, and Me First (the last being a uniquely American patriotic gesture). Ah well, good cause you know, patronage of the arts, starving musicians, and all that.../p,k
