Listening to DylanRadio.com this morning and the played Dylan's version of Restless Farewell from Sinatra's 80th birthday tribute -- great rendition. Heading on southern road trip this evening -- will listen to Shadows again - at the very least it may help put the kiddo's to sleep. Do enjoy the cd, though.

I should be getting the new one in the mail tomorrow --- looking forward to it. She did a Tiny Desk (npr) somewhat recently - very nice stuff. http://www.npr.org/event/music/302900658/courtney-barnett-tiny-desk-concert

I wonder who gets the money from the auction --- do the 4 members and Garcia estate split it up among themselves? I guess there is still a 'Grateful Dead Staff or Organization', perhaps they get a cut . I wonder if Hunter or Barlow get a cut, too. I don't remember the toilet being up for auction - that's weird.

Definitely an interesting read -- sorry about the bad week, Crow --- condolences.

I didn't know crap about him, though after hearing the tunes while watching the documentry, I kept thinking "oh, I know that song" over and over again. Also, you're most welcome Sir Stew.

http://www.head-east.com/bandhistory.html All this Head East talk - I had to look into it - our friend's dad was an original member (Piper) and he was guitarist, not keyboardist. My brother-in-law took lessons from Rich Creadore in beautiful Sparta, IL . (I am sure everyone was wondering...slow day at work for me.) I see that they are still out there touring down there - no wonder they are more popular than Wilco...

Remember a M&R Rush - but not Mahogany Rush ---- seems to be a lot Rush's back in the day.

Sounds like a fun weekend.

My electric kettle went out last year -- back to the kettle on gas stove. My electric stove went out out last month -- $500 or so later - it's fixed. NoJ can go my parents route -- kettle on gas stove and a cup with a scoop of instant.

So far my current fresh press hasn't failed. (though I did drop it and it busted about 10 years or so ago - still using the same press, though - just needed to buy a new carafe)

You should of asked them about Farrar. I suppose that is a main reason that Tweedy headed North --- every time I saw Wilco/Jeff solo in St. Louis/Southern IL area - he had something snarky to say about the area. (plus I don't think anyone really needs to check out Head East)

I think he wrote that he was missing the next few gigs.

Yeah Head East is popular down there -- A friend of my wife's dad played keyboard with them at one point during the 70s and my bro-in-law took guitar lessons from a member in the 80's --- I think every Southern Illinoisan musician was in Head East at one point. While I was down there, a friend use to book local shows for Head East during mid 90's.

I got an email, stating that Phish will be doing a three day fest again this year --- as per usual, the Fest website is pretty funny. My friends use to go to all their fests in the 90's, I think the last one they went to was Big Cypress - I never did make one. http://phish.com/magnaball/

Hear, hear!

A little bit of me thinks that Lennon did it on purpose --- of course they were both f'd up.

This is only issue I ever remember buying --- I bought it while I was on my first trip to Colorado.

Dick's Pick 12 is one of my favorites. Did you find the Picks used or did you buy the down-loads?

You can also download them at nugs.net. http://nugs.net/Grateful_Dead.htm

Just the three Dead shows in July -- man, I've turned into a 'never-go-to-shows' loser....(no offense to others who never go to shows)

That 'Deadicated' cd is a great one -still listen to it quite a bit. Link to the 2nd part of the Rolling Stone interview with Hunter - it's a good read. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/grateful-deads-robert-hunter-on-jerrys-final-days-we-were-brothers-20150311?page=3 Enjoyed the bit how Weir always put a copy of Hunter's lyrics in his back pockets and ending up washing his pants with them still in there...

Sadly, I think most of the official 74 releases are OOP and a bit pricey. Of course excellent 74 recordings are out there for download.

Dylan - around 35 Wilco - around 35 then there is a big drop off. GD- 12 or so Stones - 7

I can't imagine them doing any Phish tunes --- I wouldn't mind if they did one or two during the weekend, though - but I don't see it happening. A "The Valley Road" or "Stander on the Mountain" would be most welcomed, though.

Below is a good comp. and still readily availibe (and is somewhat cheap.) All tunes from the last shows in 74 at Winterland.
