Yeah Spotify is great for the OOP stuff, escpecially since lots of the stuff is going for a high price. I take more advantage of the Phish stuff that is on Spotify - mostly because I don't have many Phish releases.

That looks great -- haven't been to the Hideout in a long while.

I can never keep the names of the these jams straight.

I usually have Dahl on my kitchen radio during the week and I sometimes forget to turn him off a 6pm. He definitely is an interesting fellow.

I haven't listened to the Bonnie/Tortoise cd in a long while -- that version of Thunder Road is a great one.

Not to mention that President Obama was elected BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE (twice) - that' why his statement makes zero sense. Are the American voices who voted for President Obama null and void now? Last time I check each President serves 4 years - I guess the American voices who voted for President Obama only can be heard for about 3 years and about a month or so...

It's going to be crap show with the Senate. The statement by Senator McConnell makes zero sense.

I don't think I ever heard the 10/25/79 2nd set, before tonight -- at least it wasn't on my hard drive nor do I have the tape. Downloaded it off of entree - Up to Estimated --- very, very great stuff. It's kinda amazing how fast Brent fit in. Stella Blue is pretty perfect, too - same with Passenger.

Didn't realize that McMurtry wrote so many books based on the Duane character -- I think I read Duane's Depressed, too, but I am not sure.

Usually Healy bugs me with that stuff - but I thought it sounded pretty cool in this show. The show is a bit of a mess, but fun. The Bird Song-> The Music Never Stopped-> Might As Well was pretty decent, too -- but Jerry's voice was pretty much gone by Might as Well. I don't think I ever listened to the show before. 86 is one of those years that I don't visit often.

Listening to 2.11.86 -- crazy intro into Truckin. https://archive.org/details/gd1986-02-11.mtx.seamons.117798.flac24

Both books are great, too (Picture Show and Texasville). Haven't seen Texasville, but saw the Last Picture show a long time ago. Cybil definitely was a looker.

I was impressed with the turnout for Bernie (and for Trump, too). So I would say it was a great night for both of them.

I know it way overplayed, but when I first saw the Stones in 1989, they opened up with Start Me - as a 16 year old - I thought it was the best thing ever.

Planned to go over to a neighbors for party -- though my 4 year old came down with a fever yesterday -- it will be a party time decision if we all go or just half of us -- the party is at a friends of my 6 year old house - so he has been looking forward to it for weeks -- damn little sisters... I am rooting for the Panthers, mostly because I am fan of Ron Rivera - a former Bear and an all around decent guy, from what I can gather.

That's good to know. Thx.

How was it seeing a show at Wrigley - can't imagine it sounding so good - could be wrong, though.

Yeah - should be interesting. One of the last times I saw Phish was when they were playing Chicago's Northerly Island and Pearl Jam was playing Wrigley the same night - a huge storm passed through Chicago, which stopped the Phish show 1 song into the 2nd set. Pearl Jam postponed there show until the storm passed and played well into the next morning, around 2am or so --- bet the neighborhood loved that. I talked to a few people at the next night's Phish show who were at the Pearl Jam show the previous night and/or earlier that morning and they all said it was a blast.

I don't think I would ever want to deal with going to a concert at Wrigley -- but I bet this will be a fun two days. In this day and age, the ticket prices look great, too from the Chicago Tribune:

That Fillmore set is the one to have - from a collector perspective (and perhaps a musical one, too, in my opinion) - it definitely fetches the most money in the aftermarket. I was lucky and grab it when it went on sale.

I'll listen to it, too - what the hell. I had to pull out that 73 Winterland box-set out yesterday to prove to my 4 year old daughter that there is a button that read "Good Ol' Grateful Dead". I tend to listen to the 73 set more than the 77 one - but they are both great.

Trying to keep the big money out of politics -- a little wealth equality would help, too. I do think his free college plan is a pipe dream -- if, somehow, he can get the cost of tuition down, I'd be all for that. I think he should start with that. His lack foreign affairs scares me a bit. I stilll go back and forth between him and Clinton. I do like Sanders' passion.

Yeah - Bernie was all over this last night, Clinton still doesn't have a clear answer - expect that she thinks that all the money she receives doesn't affect her voting - whatever - it's impossible for anyone to receive thousands and thousands of dollars from a corporation and not be influenced - why else would a corporation give the money unless they want or hope for something in return. Fun debate last night ---- Sanders definitely has to brush up on his foreign policy.

"Rocks Off" off of Exile springs to mind.

We always found that Triple Paste® worked well with our two kids.
