Good point on the Stones song - it may be a jab at the Republican 'establishment' base. With regards to the new voters - to Trump's great credit - he did get people out to vote during the primaries ---- I expect all those people to vote for him in the general, as well as some Republicans who didn't - but I think the people who vote in the general election, vote in the primaries or at least pay attention to the process ---- Trump didn't show anything different last night - still no plan, nothing except what people dislike most about him, which is screaming about everything and having no subst

Watching Trump, somehow I fell asleep over the shouting coming out the TV. Can't say he is going to gain any new voters from that speech - from on the fence Republicans or the undecided Independents and Democrat. Hopefully, the Democrats are able to put something together next week and put on a better show - it shouldn't be too hard. Regarding the Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" - he also used that song before the introduction of Pence as VP - I thought it was a rather odd choice of song for the occasion.

Yep - the Albino Redwood.

Great shot. During the Cruz' speech, during the speech, I kept thinking of what Sir Stewart wrote in the other thread - about having fear of the Trump supporters. Cruz's wife had to be escorted out - stay classy Trumpites...

Anybody know if the status of the VC Archives --- are they ever coming back -- guessing it may be a server/expense thing - though I can be completely wrong about that, because I don't know how any of it works.

Recently finished Jarnow's Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America - ​it was an interesting book, but Jarnow's writing bugged the hell out of me. At times, he wrote some dumb one-liner after each section/chapter - each sentence could have been cut and it would have been a much enjoyable read. Nice review though - Pitchfork covering a Dead show - who would of thought.

Too bad Hunter S. Thompson isn't around for any of this - he would have had a field day with this. I am sure Obama will be blamed.

Very true...

I hope that's not the case for my 6 year old - e-gads! Though over the last couple of weeks - there has been much worse stuff going than the RNC Convention.

Did you mean Rob Gronkowski's dancing/performance or Mickey???? That's a great shot - TP.

Yeah - I thought it was weird when Mickey started licking the beam. Can't say I have seen that before.

Watched the Cabin Fever dvd last week - always quite the trip.

With apologies to jw harding -- I purchased the two webcasts at Fenway - out of the two nights, I think Passenger was the only clunker - Friday's Mayer's outfit was a bit funny - man, he can play. http://thoughtsonthedead.com/a-candid-photo-of-john-mayer/

Yeah that is - wow.

Yeah - All good reasons.

Mayer and Oteil seem like they would be fun to shoot -- both are very exuberant in their playing.

Kinda cool -- Footage of Garcia/Grisman and others from Sweetwater (1990) http://www.jambase.com/article/jerry-garcia-david-grisman-reunite-sweetwater-1990

The dvd/video from Nov. 17, 1992, WTTW studios, Chicago show and interview is still seeding on Dime. Do a search for %WTTW%. Also, heard Old King on the way to work this a.m. on the radio.

Came across the below review on Saturday's Alpine Valley Dead & Co. show --- two of my friends who I went with made it on one of the pics - at least their backs did. It was the writer's first show - a nice perspective. http://www.theshowlastnight.com/dead-company-alpine-valley-music-theater/

I wish I could remember it, but I was too young --- though I do remember watching White Sox on Channel 44 - also the Blackhawks. I had to bring out our little black and white TV outside on our porch to get good reception. I am sure tin foil was involved. Just saw that Dahl is going to be at a Hooters near me tonight --- wife is heading to a Violent Femmes show, though -- somehow I don't think my kids would be too excited to head to a Hooters.

Not sure if I am the best person to answer this - I wasn't really paying attention to the time. The start date on the Alpine show was 7:30pm - I believe, they took the stage around 7:40 or so. I think the venue had a 11:30 curfew.

Had a great time - perhaps a little too much... Beautiful day - the lot was fun and it was festive inside, too. A nice quiet campground near by -- all was good. From a music stand point, I though the St. Louis show I saw last fall was a bit better, but Saturday's night show no slouch. They definitely are pretty tight - no major f-ups. The band definitely keeps things interesting --- must admit this band is one of the better ones since 95. I was going to watch last night's Webcast - but figured I wouldn't make it past the 1st set - I was beat.

That's cool.
