I listened to Dave Pick's 9 over the weekend, enjoy the version Dark Star quite a bit. The segue into China Doll was great as advertised.

I am pretty sure he was wearing one at Newport, 2002.

I enjoy the short 68/early 69 versions (shorter and more to the point) more than most longer versions.

I turned it off to watch Downton Abbey. Kudos to the Seahawks and Pete Carroll who got his team prepared. Also never really watched that New Girl show - funny show, thought Prince was funny, too.

If you don't mind downloads - they are all available (flac) at http://www.livedownloads.com/live-music/3,461/Grateful-Dead-mp3-flac-downloads.html #8 is a great one - #4, too.

This is why I haven't placed a wager (excluding on horses, once in a while) in 20 or so years. Terrible.

Though i always loved Weir's interpretation of the lyrics.

Okay - yes - that is dumb.

I don't have ESPN and haven't been paying too much attention, but the Manning story line is a good one, so I guess I can't blame them with running with it. Plus who would want to talk about Pete Carroll.

I can never can get all the way through Vision of Cody.

You should make them have Bob Dylan hand deliver it to you for your troubles. (I would have bailed long ago)

SS is right.

That mono set does sound great - esp JWH. Never knew about the Beatles thing.

Agree. Checked the lyrics of Desolation Row and the lyric reads as: (not sure why I am pointing it out, but there it is.) Yes, I received your letter yesterday (About the time the doorknob broke) Read more: http://www.bobdylan.com/us/songs/desolation-row#ixzz2rpzUBB4G

The Toboggan run looks like it will be fun.

I enjoy Vol. 10 quite a bit. Don't think you will be disappointed - esp. if like that era of Dylan. That Esquire was a great read.

I only recently learned that Clayton miscarried very shortly after the Gimme Shelter session -- I think i learned it from that Fresh Air episode. Great/Sad back story leading up the studio performance and its aftermath.

I think it is Jonathan Parker.

Andrews automatically asked the question "who was talking about you...?." with a great expression on her face ---- great piece of tv --- of course in her ear piece somebody probably said cut ...so she did. My pick: Denver 31 - Seattle 24

I'm looking forward to the Chicago Ratdog show --- I think the lineup looks great - the two bass players with Kimock. Regarding the Dead/Dylan release - It was my introduction to Desire (Joey), so for that I enjoyed the cd - their version of Joey, together, was good.

Erin Andrews did a good job with the situation, though - her reaction was great.

12/68 it was filmed -- okay version and movie, never gotten around getting the DVD, just have it on VHS. The whole One + One was a mess - but the footage in the studio recording Beggars was cool.

I do have that one, just not the Bay Area 1978 discs and the Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium, February 28, 1986 show, which i am not too bummed about not having, anyway. Both happen to be the last in the series, too. I remember buying the Warner 1978 show and thinking I would buy the other 78 show in month or two (trying to be responsible and budget these things - stupid me) and it went out of print shortly there after.

Same boat ----- I'll give Atticus that the Janes version is better than any Stones version since 1975.

Only recently did I the hear about Billy Joel / Phish mini feud (over MSG New Year Eve's bookings) -- The Stranger, 52nd Street, and Glass Houses were played a lot in my house growing up in the late 70s - lot's of good tunes. My sister still catches his shows when he passing through Minneapolis.
