Yeah -- but the article it dated May, 2015 -- the Weir doc was already shot and in the can at that point. But I bet Weir is seats under oak trees all the time.

Yeah, you are right - I must have mis-heard. "No plans for Scorsese to film Grateful Dead documentary in Chicago" http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/chi-grateful-dead-scorsese-doc-column.html Below is a link that I just came across regarding the movie -- it's nice that Justin Kreutzmann is involved, too - I didn' know that or forgot. http://michaelshapiro.net/grateful-dead-documentary-north-bay-has-starring-role/

I think they wanted to shoot some footage of the 50th Anv. shows in case they wanted it for the doc.

From the panel, Rand Paul always comes across the most sane person --- which is super scary. Christie seemed a bit unhinged to me, especially about the whole Russian no fly zone stuff. Everybody, with exception of Paul, stated that they wanted to increase and update the military - but I don't recall anybody talking about how to pay for it -- must admit I stopped watching. It would be interesting to have Sanders win and then he appoints Paul as Sect. of Defense --- I'd keep him out of domestic stuff, but I wouldn't mind him dealing with foreign relations with regard to war, not the humanitari

That is weird -- especially one based on Parish's book. Guess it be could worse - it could be based on Rock Scully's book. Both books seem to be most tabloid-like books on the Dead -- -which I guess would make the best 'dumb entertainment' type of movie. A great documentary on the Dead gear would be nice. Parish is pretty good in front of the camera though. I wonder if it is going to be shot like a documentary or one of 'music-bio movies' where actors are playing the musicians?

I didn't follow any of the 90 reunion stuff too close --- only recently did I realize that Porl Thompson was part of their band -- guess Plant was listening to the Cure a lot prior to the tour. Interesting choice, though I am a Cure fan. The below Song Remains the Same is pretty decent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBAewzK4EC8

NoJ - Hopefully all ends well and your friend (and everyone else involved) comes out the other end OK.

Did you ever read the book?

Just finished watching Season One of The Man in the High Castle on Amazon - we thought it was really good -- it was interesting watching the series with the whole Trump rhetoric going on. Hopefully there will be a Season Two. All the actors were pretty good. Shot nicely, too. Never read the book, so can't compare it.

Yeah -- now that I think about, I did read the below when it came out. The whole driver story was indeed a sad one.

I always thought it was cool that the Who recorded the Stones tunes for those reasons -- esp. since at the time the British police was enjoying busting rock stars or at least busting the Stones. Definitely could have brought on unwanted attention to them by the police. I don't think they ever gotten busted (at least during the 60s). Could be wrong though - I haven't read a Who book in a long while.

Spotify has the remaster --- haven't heard their version in of Under My Thumb in a while --- forgot how much I enjoyed Moon's drumming on it -- the back ground vox., not so much, the ooo's and such doesn't fit the song. Though it is Who like, so I guess it works.

Just put it on hold -- should be the remaster too. Is there any back story to the cover - looks like Entwistle put the comp. together - wonder if was a big American football fan?

Somehow I never gotten around to listening to the Young Vic show, until tonight --- enjoy Time is Passing, never heard this one before. Not familiar with Odds and Sods or Pete's first solo record, though I remember always seeing Odds and Sods in the stacks when I was younger. Always thought it was great record cover. Cheesy as all hell, but great. Especially since they are English.

Speaking of 73 - now listening to the 9/7/73 Eyes - off the bonus cuts from the Wake of the Flood release --- doesn't get much better. Jerry just kills on this, also enjoy Keith's electronic piano.

I thought I read that Tweedy is done going to Grammy ceremonies -- could be way off, though. It is nice that they got nominated.

Yeah - and at the end of the day the DSO's members are fans/deadheads. Throughout the book they interview other deadheads to get their perspective -- not only the DSO folks. I am up to about 91 ---- great book, thus far.

tis the season again -- officially starts when I put the below on the tree - a gift from my sister back in 97.

Maybe Brooks will ease your mind a bit. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/04/opinion/no-donald-trump-wont-win.html?hpw&rref=opinion&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=well-region&region=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well&_r=1 Also nice front page op-ed by the NY Times today --- see if this gets any traction, sadly I doubt it will. And yes they do write about taking certain types of guns away from lawful owners for the "greater good". http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/05/opinion/end-the-gun-epidemic-in-america.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=stor

Bob Dylan has some good ones.

I agree, Trump is getting his share of push back from the media -- both from the right and left. He may deserve more, but he is getting it. The pundits on the 'established' right are not fond of him. (Will/Brooks, etc.)

I listened to Dick's Pick 14 last night --- Disc 4 from 12/2/73.

Trump is some getting push back from the other candidates, esp from Bush and Kasich - of course not many republicans care what they have to say, but at least they are calling him out.

I am not completing panning the shows -- though it may appear that I am. I just wish it would have been better is all. Awkward is a apt word for the shows. After watching some of the web-casts everyone seemed tentative. I got the web-cast feeds from a kind poster here -- definitely glad I have them.

Yeah they are selling FTW DVDs and CD's --- if they would have played better, I probably would have bought it, but after re-watching the shows, I decided not to actually buy any of the packages that they are selling. It was a great time - but I doubt would revisit the shows too often, because at the end of the day the music wasn't all that great. Perhaps if they actually rehearsed more, I would have sprung some more dough and bought it. They probably get along well enough to go on stage (an make lots of money) but not enough to get in room and hash out some tunes. Of course they were nev
