Hunter sat in on Buddy Miller & Jim Lauderdale's XM radio show this past week. Hunter and Lauderdale write together -- it was a pleasant 2 hour show. Hunter played the way he originally wrote Black Peter's melody with his words ---- it was a "happy song about a person dying", which of course Jerry change into a "slow, sad song about a person dying"---- thank god, because Hunter's original pretty much sucked. The original China Cat melody wasn't too good, either --- of course he praised Garcia for his song/melody writing ability.

I'm guessing Casal didn't play it. The show is up on the archive. http://archive.org/details/furthur2013-10-05.mk41_flac24

I agree about 71, perfect intro year.

That Saturday (10/5) show looks great - looks like Neal Casal and Jonathon Wilson (separately) sat in -- probably will grab it if it pops up somewhere. Would you know if Casal played the Wolf guitar, by chance?

Not sure if the below was posted before -- nice, long interview with Hunter --- it would be fun to watch a Nine Inch Nails concert with Hunter. http://itrandomtime.blogspot.com/2013/09/an-interview-with-robert-hunter.html?spref=fb

I thought about the whole Coffee Creek/Bottle Rocket release, too. I pre-ordered the discs from Bloodshot - I don't have any Bottle Rockets stuff. Enjoyed that Indianapolis tune.

I almost got trampled by a moose - needed to get behind a big tree as it bum rushed me.

I thought I heard that was edited out a bit more than the widely circulated bootleg -- though he is still in there quite a bit.

I thought the Acid Trips footage with Cassidy was a bit out place in the movie - the movie was shot in 72 - long after the Acid Trips' footage was taken. Obviously I get the connection, but I would have rather had more concert footage or crowd shots. Though I think the filmmakers ran out of film, thus they had to use the Acid Trips' footage.

I believe that is in the works. http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/09/11/breaking-bad-spinoff-better-call-saul/

I would have been bummed if Jesse didn't get out alive - of all the characters, Jesse seemed the 'most innocent' and showed the most sympathy, growth, and sorrow for what he had done. I would like to think he overheard where the Nazi's hid the money and I wonder if he will come around and find it and use it for his own benefit, I would doubt he would, though. He has learned a 'great' skill, if he ever needs money again, though. I am glad Walt, Lydia, and the Nazi's met their demise.

I was completely fine with the episode ---- hopefully Jesse finds some solace. It was great to see Skinny Pete and Badger one last time, too. I was really happy that Lydia found her demise and the Grey Matter people found their feet on the fire.

That's how my wife and I watched this season after catching up --- well worth it. We did the same with this last season of Mad Men. It's also kinda cool that it's saved and you can watch each episode again.

Like the Vol One, bit. Hopefully Dylan has another 4 -8 albums in him, then he can release Vol Two.

I think the above shows is where the Wolf guitar is played at a show or two --- does suck that there is now CD release.

"A lot of it just went by in a blur" Wonder why.

Exactly my thoughts, too.

Lammycat - did you catch the Furthur show with Branford Marsalis?

^^ There you go - perfect.

Listened to the broadcast of Mellencamp, Seeger, and Young (fell asleep before Willie came on) ---- pretty good stuff. Great pic's, too. Neil was his usual Farm Aid crank-crank - he did some nice covers, though. I always been a fan of Mellencamp, his voice is getting rougher and rougher - I am guessing from smoking. I did like his slightly different arrangements of his tunes. It probably would have been cool to watch Seeger perform, but just listening to him was a bit rough - but he was born in 1919, so huge kudos for him for being up there and putting up the good fight.

Some nice, well deserved news - from http://www.dead.net/features/americana-music-association/robert-hunter-honored-lifetime-achievement-award Read that he performed Ripple, solo, at the ceremony, too.

Do you guys have the Blu-ray or DVD?

I probably would get A Ghost is Born and Summerteeth, if they decide to release those. I have a couple of HD releases, Phish's Junta and Allman Brothers - Brothers and Sisters Anniversary box - both sound excellent.

Thanks - I still need to get around to get the set. Kinda wish that there was a CD only release, but it will be good to see the movie again, I guess.

just changed to this show (downloaded from bt-eeree) so far so good ---- 1st set. I am still always amazed at a new tape in circulation ---77....
