I loves me some Woody!

I wish Basil was here. His fave.

God, this is lovely

We've paid our effing dues!

IN!

I'm never home at this time. Wouldn't ya know it would be Poor Places.

And whiskey before breakfast. Hope all is well, Gary!

Damn. First Butler, now this...

YEAH! I really should do a oney, if y'all don't mind - my favorite song!

Ok, I'm gonna sing while I type, if that's cool.

Greetings and tornado warnings!

Brown County State Park has some nice trails. About an hour (or less) from the Creek. Too bad the shows aren't in October - the foliage is REALLY sweet there at that time.

Saturday night at the Fraze!

I might agree with you on this: taken as a whole 9/10/91 might be superior to 3/29/90. It's really stellar. But that pre-drums in set 2 on 3/29 is just so crazy-good-weird! Regarding the 3/29 Eyes - when my wife and I got hitched I INSISTED to the DJ that he play that tune while all of our folks were there at the reception. We got some odd comments - "How long does THIS go on?" etc. Later on, when it was mostly just our friends we cranked up 8/6/74 (we were married on 8/6/94).

It's hard to believe, but 20 years ago today: 3/29/90 Nassau One of the great nights in GD history, CERTAINLY one of the best of the last 5 years. I remember well when I first got these tapes - set 2 with Branford Marsalis was SO mind-blowing. I'll be pulling these tapes out tonight when I get home. Any VCers at this show?

1. First Concert, when? KISS & Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, August 1976 2. First Concert you really wanted to go to and did? Same as #1 3. Favorite Band? Good Ol' Grateful Dead, now and forever. 4. How Many Times have you seen them? About 75 + another half dozen JGB shows 5. Worst concert you attended? I really don't know. Hell, it might have been a GD concert! 6. Favorite? So many to choose from. '84 was an OUTSTANDING year - GD 6/30/84, King Crimson April '84, Zappa August '84 really stand out. 7. Band you have seen the most? The Dead 8. How many times? 75+

Hang in there, Edie. I probably won't be too far behind you in the unemployment line. I want to say this, as well: this bill (mediocre as it is) would not have gone anywhere if it wasn't for the tenacity of one Madame Speaker. Hate all you want, but that woman has more spine than any 2 men you could name in Congress. So I'm gonna wish her a happy 70th birthday today. Cheers, Nancy.

I didn't go back to the last 4 pages to check and see if anyone else mentioned this, but just for the record: this bill does include nearly 200 amendments that were Republican-sponsored ideas. If you want to debate the actual process that birthed this bill that's fine, but you really can't say that the Admin. didn't at least TRY to allow for a different viewpoint. 200 things the Right wanted - and yet they still unanimously voted NO. I find this very sad.

This. I feel lucky enough to have seen Randy with Ozzy on two occasions (8/81 and 2/82) right here and I wholeheartedly agree that he had a very unique style that set him apart from nearly everyone else in the genre.

^^ My first thought while watching tonight.

Ok. Aman, I went to the Taper's Addendum (the one with the Latvala tribute) and there is a lengthy interview with Weinberg by Michael Getz. He most definitely DID tape the 7/31/71 Yale Bowl show. In fact he has a list in there of all the shows he taped - the great majority of them are from the '70-'71 period. Marty didn't discuss the Yale Bowl taping with Getz, but he does talk a great deal about the Port Chester 2/71 & the Fillmore 4/71 runs. The dude at Archive seems to be correct.

I'm thinking it may have been done before on one of the early shows, I can't recall for sure. Here's Blair's liner notes regarding the the show you mentioned: "Unfortunately, The Dark Star on the recently rediscovered master SBD recordings of the Yale Bowl show is missing a couple of minutes from the early part of the jam (no doubt the victim of a tardy reel change)... We've elected to patch the Star with an audience-recorded version of the missing section - certainly not perfect, but at least it's complete and captures the song's full flow." I can't remember hearing an obvious switch b

Weinberg would be a good guess. Him, or one of the Hell's Honkies (maybe Dr. Ed Perlstein?) I'll look it up and see what I can find.
