It's a good one -- turned it off listen to 5.21.77.

I re-watched Set 1 of the Crimson White & Indigo DVD last night - a show from 7.7.89 -- the above fits Garcia description during the show.

I did -- guess I must have forgot what he wrote. I just can't see Jagger lying about such things: meaning of lyrics or reasoning behind them - esp. while talking about the "head filled with snow" lyric.

Congrats, Atticus!

The below is from an email I got from the Downtown MusicGallery Newsletter - Sounds like is was a great show - hopefully it will be release some day.

I remember reading that a while ago - it is a nice piece. I always enjoyed the below bit by Dylan from http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/interviews/a26917/who-is-this-bob-dylan-interview-0214/

It's been a long while - but who knows. The only time I was really disappointed in a Garcia performance was the 6/24/94 (2nd show Soldier Field ). The 1st show was a bit fun, but the 2nd show Garcia was pretty listless. It was the first time that I heard a lot of grumbling around me about Garcia's performance while at a show ---(I haven't been to nearly as many shows as most on this board to give a decent account, though). The next show I saw was their last - even that show had it's moments, compared to 6/24/94 - but that's not saying much.

I only saw the core 4 play together three times --- 2 times at Alpine Valley when they got back together for the 1st time and put on the two day fest -- the fest was great overall - their performance was pretty good, though I don't go back to listened to it very often - it was great weekend, though. The 3rd time was in 09 or so - at the Rosemont Horizon - that show was very dull and boring. I will be at the Chicago shows - hoping for the best, music wise - but I most look forward to hanging out with friends. I do have high hopes though, music wise, but it has to be really bad for me disapp

I am not a fan of Ryan Adams - but really enjoyed his version of Wharf Rat that someone posted a while ago.

My sister and brother in law are heading down to Nashville to catch them --- I still can't bring myself to pay the prices to see them this time around. I have seen them in the past, though. With regards to the whole 'snow' lyric - I don't know - I don't think cocaine was so prevalent in the band back in 1970 or as much as it was in later on. I am sure it was around, though. Jagger is still pretty open on his past drug use and in a recent interview advocated legalization of all drugs. So I don't think he would be trying to cover up anything. I always assumed it was about cocaine, too.

Hell - the whole Between the Buttons record would be cool - one of my favorites.

I think you can say the same for Please Go Home. Though the 'home' echo is pretty overt -- good tune though.

Nowadays - esp. with the Stones - insurance for all the musicians have to cost a ton -- guessing Taylor's costs didn't jive in the 'cost–benefit analysis' report.

I am not sure if the exact reason ever came out - I heard health reasons and that Taylor wanted more dough. Who knows. It would have made sense for him to be on this tour - since they are focusing on Sticky Fingers. Perhaps Taylor realized this going in and expected more money - esp. if he was going to play on more tunes throughout the show.

It looks like a cool house -- I would have stayed, too.

I read that book - it's been awhile though. I haven't listened to the Psychedelic Pill release in awhile - but I thought the tunes he played off of it when I saw him with Crazy Horse were great in a live setting. Since Greendale, I think I only bought Psychedelic Pill and Americana. Have the vast majority of his prior to Greendale releases, though. Listened to Weld , again, this past Memorial weekend - I always get a kick out of Farmer John.

Didn't realize Neil supported Reagan at one time --- yeah I heard worst Neil songs - but that's not saying much.

Nice piece on Jagger talking about Moonlight Mile - not sure if I have read such a detailed account of one his tunes by him, before. http://www.wsj.com/articles/mick-jagger-and-moonlight-mile-1432735648

When I saw it in the computer system , I was hoping it was going to be an official release, that I somehow missed -- but I looked into it and figured it wasn't - but I had it brought into my local library for kicks to listen to it. Maybe someone who works at the library is a huge Tom Waits fan, ripped it and donated it --- hopefully they didn't spend money on it.

Yes --- I didn't see the Clooney interview, so I don't know what led to the handcuffing - but the whole bit made the interview more entertaining - to me at least.

It appears that my library is getting in the boot business - they had a CD copy of Waits performance from the Auditorium Theatre, Chicago, IL, USA on August 9, 2006 - the only time I was saw him perform. I have a copy on my hard drive - though I am not sure if its the same source, since I haven't listened to it in awhile, though it probably is. Finally got around to watch the Letterman bit - good tune, great interview. It was weird having Clooney in the immediate background.

She may become the power, someday --- congrats!

Forgot that you mentioned that a while ago ----- didn't realize (or forgot) about Weir's and his wife's history, either. Enjoyed the performance with the National - good stuff.
