Hey man, you're slippin'...what about Maude or Teh Golden Girls?

>>

Yep. Troof.

Oh yeah. Late For The Sky...you can't really say enough about this record. It might be just be my favorite one of all when it comes to magnificent melancholy. Then again, either of John Prine's first 2 albums are amazing too.

"A box of rain will ease the pain, and love will see you through". (Box of Rain, Grateful Dead) All the best degenerex...hope everything works out ok.

Bathtub-freakin'-Gin!! Maybe the best post-hiatus show I saw. Also, that Gamehenge show is my favorite of all the ones they did. NP: "Spirit of '76" (bonus disc from the 12/31/76 Cow Palace)--GD

Hey, I'm no RD fan but they gots Steve Kimock right now! Enjoy!

Say no more!

I fully support this statement.

...reveals more of itself in every different set of speakers you hear it through. ..stands up to repeated listenings more than any other studio effort.

Yeh, yeh...give him my best when you're in Crawford, Mr. Texas McLawyerson.

...I like to play LOUD (esp. after a few bevvies). ...is the record I turn most (non-fan) people onto first.

You wig-wearing, ether-huffing.... Wait a minute...that's a compliment!

Jah Pastafari!

Yeah, it's the latest one. The '1967' issue. He's 72...you should read his thoughts on global warming & his undying belief that being a total carnivore is the only way to be.

The latest issue of Rolling Shite has a rare, recent interview with Bear that is really interesting. They don't make 'em any stranger than this dude.

I agree with you....but the Police w/ Mayer AND Kanye West was a shit sandwich musically.

Excellent choices there! 4/22 may be my favorite Star from '69. GREAT meltdown on the 11/19/72. 6/28/74 is deservedly a fave...the jam is one of the very best pieces of GD around! Nice call on the 10/27/79 as well. Phil's bomb to start the Other One can blow your speakers! I love that there is still some love for teh GD here...but the feeling seems to be reciprocal: alot of Heads I know dig Wilco too.

I think we could all use a dose of a little 'country wisdom'.

end of thread. (seriously, I can't top that)

Hey reverandgroove, you were asking about which GD albums to get started with...this is just my opinion but in general GD albums are everything Wilco albums are NOT---a little flat, and ultimately not too satisfying. Perhaps the best studio Dead isn't techinically a GD record at all---Bob Weir's "Ace" (1972). It's just Bobby songs w/ the GD as backup. The Playin' in the Band is as good as they ever got in the studio. If you're interested in live stuff here's a sample....I'll put one show per year here that are some of my favorites: (subject to debate, of course) 9/16/66--Pigpen early lengt

You're my favorite person...TO POOP ON!!!! (sorry, I stole that from my hero, Triumph)

Whitty, I'll echo Johnny's sentiments & say that you hit the nail on the head there. I'll come back to this thread later when time allows!
