70's/disco connection?

Yeah, lots of reading of letters.

What are people thoughts on Day Job. I was listening to the Grateful Dead talk show on the radio today and a caller called in and was wondering if Furthur has been practicing Day Job. I never saw them perform it; the song never bothered me much. I always like Brother Esau, too.

I guess a madhouse may be a bit extreme, the reviewer writes about the new influx of fans mainly due the Touch of Grey craze. The venue was in a rural area and of course their were a lot of ticket less fans/dogs. I guess it was your typical 90's crowd. It is a nice sounding show.

Listening to the 7.2.88 show from Oxford Plains Speedway in Maine. It seemed Phil was getting sick of people chanting his name. Nice write up in the Taper's book. I guess the scene around this and the 7/3 was a bit of a mad house. I caught the five Chicagoland shows in 94. The 2nd set in the last Soldier Field show seemed to drag on forever. Some of the playing was okay. I haven't listened to the tape in a long time. I almost did not buy tickets for the 95 shows at Soldier's because of the that last 94 show, luckily I did end up going to the last one.

Well I can't think of a better alternative.

Not much of a whiskey drinker, but I do enjoy Knob Creek, if available. I drank too much Old Crow in college, kinda of ruined whiskey for me. Though I must admit, Old Crow isn't bad for a cheaper whiskey.

I only heard two shows: last week's Cornell show and a show from 12.13.09. The Cornell show did not sound too hot while the 12.13 show sounded great. Have you listened to any of the shows (Here is the Archive link that Lammycat provided earlier.) I guess I would go, at least you should have fun your friends, right?

Are you going to go? I wonder if John K. is going to be play Dark Star Orchestra, too.

It looks like they are going to release another Road Trip set, too. from Gans' site:

I think I remember reading that Weir refused to do an encore and they did it without him. I think it may have been in McNally's book.

The Taper's book gave it a very favorable review, also. All, except Drums, were considered highlights. Does Archive.org only pull soundboard copies of those shows that are or will be commercially available? I don't think a soundboard of this show has ever surfaced. (edit: I did see a soundboard on archive.)

Did you correct him/her and say "the socialists"?

It would be great for an official releases of Sunshine Daydream; the only bits of that movie I have seen are the one's on YouTube.

Here is an official link to that July 7, 1989 cd/dvd set that I mentioned earlier.

Yeah, that is why I like Rolling with the Stones better than Stone Alone. Rolling is more of scrap book type of book.

That was my first Stones' book I read. Quite the read as a eleven year old or so. I think it may be one of the books that altered my adolescence (for better or worse ). It is an entertaining read but full of b.s.. One of my favorites is Wyman's Rolling with the Stones (Amazon link) . Lot's of cool pictures from his archives and entries from his tour diaries.

They did, as well as Watts and Wood, participate in the According to the Rolling Stones book.

yep, same here. Enjoy the evening.

I think they are finally clicking in this second set with Unbroken Chain.

Missed that. This 2nd set is not starting off very well. The UJB was a bit of train wreck, never heard this second song before. Peaceful Vally????

I don't think it's too fair to play some of the 5.8.77 show between sets here on XM. Man, this Minglewood rocks.

The vocals or the guitar playing; or both? I think he's alright. I would say I would prefer him than Warren Haynes. I love Haynes, but he very hit or miss with the Dead.

I wish they would stop Good Lovin, it gets old quick.
