  1. The rest of the band is great, too ---- bunch of my friends were heading there, already - I was gonna pass - but this changes things.

    The headling set will feature a backing band made up of Jeff Chimenti (Dead & Company). Stu Allen (Phil Lesh & Friends), Karl Denson (Rolling Stones), John Molo (Phil Lesh & Friends),  Elliott Peck (Midnight North), and Grahame Lesh (Phil Lesh & Friends). PHILCO will take to the main stage at Sacred Rose Festival on Friday,

     

  2. Today was my kid's last day of school (4th and 6th grade) --- both stoked for the summer.

     

    Sadly, I can imagine the slain kids/teachers (as well as the survivors) talking about the upcoming summer vacation, yesterday...

     

    I would love a complete ban, but it has to be much, much harder to purchase guns, ammo, and body armor  ( I am not even sure why the hell body armor is buyable by the general public).

  3. Listening to the 2022 Record Store release of Judas Priest's - Hero, Hero.

    Sounds fantasic.

     

    Tunes from Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings --- I never owned Rocka Rolla -- can't say I even listen to it all the way through (probably have, but forgot) - anyway right out the box Judas Priest were writing killer tunes.

     

    Was at my mother in law's house this weekend for Mom's day --- she has this crazy antenna TV system, which has music video stations from the each decade ----happen to catch the Rock Rolla's video for the first time --- it took me a second to realize that was Judas Priest ----  Rob's hair threw me for loop --- then I heard him sing.

     

     

    And of course my kid just turned  down the record....

    who brings a dog to a rock concert?

     

    Last month I went to a Bob Weir show at the Chicago Theater --- a dude had a dog with him. Obviously  it was a service dog. My seat was right off the center isle - it was cool seeing the German Shepherd (with its owner) walk up and down the center isle. 

     

     Every time I think of dogs and concerts I think of Altamont. From the looks of the footage from that day, a dog always seemed be on stage.

  5. Yeah - it's nice to finally have the whole Dark Star in the Pick. I haven't listened to that box in a long while. Gans did a good job on that one, I thought. 

     

    The  Miami Jai-Alai Fronton had to be one of the funkier places the Dead has played.  From pictures it seemed so wide.

    Switching it up from E'72, just listened to Providence 9-15-73 on Sirius. Boy, those horns sound terrible. Get me back to E'72.

     

    While I was at the Weir and the Wolf Pack show in Chicago last month, I kept of thinking of the 73 horn tour. The horns sounded great - it just took 50 years or so to get it to sound right.

     

    That being said, I wouldn't mind an official 73 horn show release --- I would think they would be able to clean up the sound of the boards. Or maybe they tried and it is a lost cause.

     

    I got away from 72 today and listened to Dave's 34 - June 23, 1974 / Jai-Alai Fronton in Miami, Florida.

    Seriously, I say that for everyone of these shows

     

    Yeah - now I am listening to the Aarhus University from 4/16 - the most unique venue of the tour (a college cafeteria) - another favorite. Garcia's runs during El Paso are beautiful.

    What channel is it on? I used to subscribe when I was a youngster. I remember getting a Changesonebowie LP as a bonus for subscribing. Life changing event.

     

    If you don't do Amazon  - I have been watching it on Kanopy (via my roku). 

  9. I have listen to many, definitely nicely done. The Workingman's Dead and American Beauty song breakdowns have been great. The St. Louis set, too. 

     

     Need to listen to the Pigpen and Dark Star one.

     

    Got tickets for the summer Wrigley shows, today.

     

    The rumors going around have been fun.

    well that didn't turn out as planned... show was canceled 75 min before doors.

    but, that meant I got to see Mike Watt! 

     

    What was the reason for the Priest cancelation?
