    Grease is the only cure for a hangover.......

    Morning rockers, happy Friday!!!

    Right now? Princeton, April 17 1971. Why? C'mon!!! Pigpen. Greasy is as greasy does.

    Man - life in general - seems irrelevant to the workings of the universe: a mere smudge of water, grease, and carbon on a pinpoint planet circling a star of no special consequence.....

    Rock on!!

    Doc
    Embrace the grease, if any, and look fresh and human........
    P.S. Still waiting on 51.............

    Not right now . . .

    on recent long drive to/from project area, the 2 shows that really stood out in road music were DiP 19 - 10/19/73 Oklahoma City Fairgrounds and 10/16/89 (Nightfall of Diamonds, Meadowlands). Disc 3 from 10/19 is one of my favorites of anything released to date. I love love love the Dark Star > Mind Left Body Jam!!

    Spinning now.

    Yes, a galley proof is a test printing that is checked for errors and corrected before going into the final published version.
    Much easier these days with computers compared to setting the letters for a printing press.

    thank you...

    ...to BLUECROW for the history on July 25, 1974; I always wondered why it was missing from the Compendium.
    I have a Charlie M DL which was burned to CD many years ago, and I eventually lost that DL to an external HD failure,
    and now thru the power of tech (CD>iTunes>phone) resides on my phone.
    So without further elaboration, I'm grabbing some coffee and headphones, and I'll be taking off for the 50th anniversary of Chicago's International Ampitheater.

    Peace All!

    btw: a galley is a proofread signed-off final copy of a manuscript that's approved to be reproduced to a printing plate which is then provided to a printing press in book manufacturing

    So . . . .

    I just realized that tomorrow is the 50th of International Amphitheater 7-25-74 Chicago, IL.

    Proceed accordingly.

    Edit: glad folks here appreciate the story - thank you friends. It was yet another (very) strange occurrence in the desert here and not even the only one that was GOGD related.

    Edit: thanks BC! That’s an great tale and being aaaaa, “memory challenged” lol, it was nice to refresh. Yes indeed, wonder what else might be “lost” out there?

    Sounds pretty good, has potential to sound even better after being polished up.

TN John - very cool! (a bc bday show not that I was there.) my FOTDs box set is crossing the Great Basin right now (i think) based on tracking. Hopefully by Tuesday next week.

6/14/94 - iwt and got here listening today via a circuitous route of JOTM (from 3/11/93 Rosemont) drive home last night which has a late period Masterpiece and this morning (gestures wildly) somehow saw the set list here and thinking "wow" I saw a Masterpiece in 94. And from there Set I etc. Very unusual set list Set II and a really fun and fine well played show. Posting now because Set II leads off with 45 second structured drumz intro to Victim and it caught my ears as something I had "never" heard (despite being there!) Victim into Lazy River Road. And then the second Samba In The Rain, which I will unabashedly say sounded great that night, totally new to me, and strong cool memory of Phil/Bob/Jerry/Vince singing the chorus and it rocked. Samba > Trucking > and a super chill That Would Be Something into drumz. Those late era shows in Seattle Memorial Coliseum kicked it.

At the risk of joining said society, I like the points you made, Daverock. I'm thinking of some live Quicksilver I had on cassette - absolutely ferocious playing, but the recording was not up to modern standards. Eminently listenable, though, and it broadened my mind to what that group was capable of. Or that Pink Floyd stuff from early '72, some early Doors stuff... that early '67 Thirteenth Floor Elevators concert (I think it later got released properly)...

So those Sept 1970 Fillmore recordings, what exists of them, should absolutely be made available to the public after Dr. Norman takes his best shot. "What's to lose / We're NOT confused/ You can call this set / The Fillmore East blues."

Live At The Roxy (Hollywood - 5/26/76)

Been thinking for a long while that I need to upgrade my system in certain key points. Slowly making my way to that move. Thanks for sharing ConeKid.
