  1. Obviously, when the Dead's involvement with Altamont is discussed - only stipulation/point of direction that Scorsese probably gave to Amir Bar-Lev.
  2. Chicago - will be taking our two kids, too. Due to the amount of people that they are now expecting - the march route has considerably shorten. Some are complaining about the shorten route, which seems strange to me. There is still going to be a rally and a march.
  3. Politico did a good job of tallying all the Trump's 'untruths' since he won the election. Nice touch adding the cut off deadline: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/01/trumps-transition-of-untruths-exaggerations-and-flat-out-falsehoods-214664?lo=ap_b1
  4. "Can you at least stop playing Rolling Stones music at any of your functions?" and "Please don't get us all killed" Ugh. (Sorry that's two -- so I will go with the 1st one)
  5. Happy that Raines made it in. Always enjoyed watching him play.
  6. Kicking around the idea of buying the Friday webstream -- figure it might be nice way to end a horrible day.
  7. Man, never realized the Beck sampled that rift.
  8. More than likely we will be up there, too. We will train in and probably just watch, not sure I want to march with 5 and 7 yr. old, in case there are some issues. But I would like them to see the process. Never had a White Russian, but Friday sounds like a great time to try one...
  9. Agreed - horrible mix. Great tunes, though.
  10. here's a shot where Weir and Lesh are both behind the drummers.
  11. Since Trump wants to drain the swamp, I am sure he'll push for campaign finance and lobbying reform.
  12. Maybe it's because I am reading through a Bear bio - but I guessing he probably told him to stand behind them for sound purposes.
  13. I never gotten into the extended live version of Running Free - but the studio cut is great. I would replace The Trooper with Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
  14. I recently checked out the 1st two deluxe cd's, via the library - the DVD's that were part of them were pretty great.
  15. comments are pretty funny - very Spinal Tapish. Always nice to see all the equipment in the loft.
  16. Yeah - I have no idea where our seats will be --- I just know they were $120 per ticket, which is too much.
  17. Looks like I will be finally seeing them (Soldier Field in Chicago) -- my wife just emailed me and said our friend snagged four tickets this morning.
  18. Looks like a great line up -- nice too see all the great jazz musicians on the bill.
  19. Yeah - It's a nice easy intro to the Dead world when you are a teenager coming out of Stones/Zeppelin/Maiden world - just pretty much straight up songs, that kinda of rocked and swung. I only had the 1st set on tape. At the time I only had the Skeletons comp. and Dead Set.
  20. You may want to invest in a cheap tuner, too. I remember when I kid and getting frustrated because it never sounded right. Granted, I sucked at playing it, but once I figured out how to tune it correctly, it was more enjoyable sucking at it...
  21. I always enjoyed Van Dieman's Land. I never gotten around to see U2, friends of ours want to go to a Chicago show - we may go. My friend is excited - she was too young to see the Joshua Tree tour - her first tour was Zoo TV and she has seen every tour since. I remember giving $5 to a friend in my high school for his copy of Joshua Tree --- he brought it to school, where we had very skinny lockers - it barely fit.
  22. Quinones added to the Allmans, mostly because it seems that Jaimoe chops dimensioned, so he picked up the slack. I don't think either of the above added much to the Crowes. Not of fan of Airto when he played with Miles in the late 60's, early 70's, either.
