Sacred Rose Fest ---- Phil Lesh and Friends and others.

A buddy needed to unload two tickets, so I took it as a sign to head to the festival (I swore off festivals a long while ago) - looking forward to seeing the show. Should be an interesting one. Phil did put together a great band.

Awesome story - thanks for sharing. Dale was one of my favorites growing up, too (and I am a AL/White Sox fan). Still remember buying his rookie card in the early 80s. Dale was on every APBA or Strat-O-Matic team of mine. (card playing/dice games)

Last night went to a jazz show ---- ran into LouieB -- which was nice -- it's been a long, long while. Great Show, too. At Elastic Arts in Chicago:

Just received a used copy of Somewhere in Time on vinyl --- this was the last tape I bought from Iron Maiden before I went off to Grateful Dead land - I did buy a knock off tape of Seventh Sign at a flea market when it was it released ---- anyway it's been a long while since I listened to it - I forgot that "Deja-Vu" is a kick ass tune.

Was this the first time you were at Thalia Hall? The venue has turned into my favorite venue in Chicago. It's been a few years for me - actually it was a Sleep show - a few months before covid hit. A great venue to catch a Bob Mould show.

Guessing there are some Highland Parkers on the board - hopefully they are all safe.

cool book cover

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

Ugh

Man that stinks - I hardly ever fly, but I always thought airlines tried to get people a new flight, after cancelation.

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).

Yeah definitely from The Old Grey Whistle -- need to search out the full video - did not realize that they were on it. Listening to "Run of the Mill" now --- great, great tune.

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

Service dogs are amazing animals, for sure.

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.

I signed up for it, but forgot to tune in. I

Looks like a YouTube page has been started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_odog3e_Ks

Me too - (via nugs, though)

Just looked up the University of Leeds Refectory --- didn't realize it was a place like that (or I forgot) --- very similar to the Dead's 72 Aarhus University gig (another cafeteria).

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.

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.

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.

Listening to the Denmark Deadcast -- the Empire/Newcastle was great. Last night I listened to the April 14, 1972 Copenhagen show -- one of my favorites from the tour. Pigpen shined.
