Oh man, I like this discussion but at work. In short (for now): Agree on Dark Star, completely disagree on Deal (shoot, JGB "Deal"s in particular), half-step has the back end that just rings melancholy (the basics of the first 2/3 of the tune are mundane and perhaps make the end so pleasurable?), agree on Fire. And, Crazy Fingers never really seems to go anywhere. No payoff....

I read this yesterday. What a treasure trove! The creases still in the shirts from 40 years ago!

No, both Twilight and See What Love Can Do were played back to back and were both never played again. I'm not sure when/where either were played previously by JGB, but it was the 4th and last "Twilight". I have no recollection of hearing either prior to the Eel versions....

I had never heard this tune (I know it's on a Clapton album) and certainly not JGB cover it until last Friday. Wow. Amazing tune: "See What Love Can Do" from Electric on the Eel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhrSr_p9AJs&disable_polymer=true

Thanks for the feedback. I started seeing them in late 70s/early 80s in CT. Would still check them out even with the obvious missing parts.

It's just Terry Adams left, right? How was it...?

"Yeah the rest of us are quitting."

Nice! Do you know if it's with Elmo and the keyboard guy or just the 3 of them? I've seen upcoming shows billed as "the original line up" but would assume it's with the other two, as well, as they are supporting the new album that has all 5 of them on it....

Snow Day #2 tomorrow due to bomb cyclone. Wild. Can't remember the last time Denver had two consecutive Snow Days.

I listened to it today start to finish while making a soup (bomb cyclone in Denver today, no school/work). I thought it was decent, for the most part (that second to last Vampire tune was not good).A Country-ish aspect too it, Curt's vocals solid, decent guitar tones. I'm glad they're still making new music, particularly with Bostrom.

Yeah, we were out there 2 summers ago for a few shows at TXR, too. We stayed at a hotel within walking distance. And yes, his line ups don't compare as favorably to the Q or the shows with Kimock and Trey and Page in '99, or even the Larry and Scofield stuff. Still, I'd rather catch a P&F show than a Dead & Co show....

Yeah, it is a nice touch. I'll need to search for a complete video later. They've also got 3 guitarists now, moving the drummer onto guitar....

Right below the partial clip of "Misunderstood"....

I was reading the setlist this morning and thought it was an abbreviation fro Please Don't Let me Be Misunderstood. Very cool.

Yeah, '93 was not a stellar year for the band. BUT, there were plenty of positives, this "St. Stephen"-riffed Jam out of Space and prior to "Last Time" being one of them. Super fun jam, imo: https://archive.org/details/gd93-12-08.sbd.larson-ladner.10281.sbeok.shnf/gd93-12-08d3t02.shn

Likely my favorite Dancin'. The sound quality plus the vibe and funk to it are unmatched, imo.

I just remember it clearing up as soon as the music started and there was a dude in front of us rolling a huge joint and his herb was falling all over the ground and we were, like squirrels, scooping up all the excess....

Rainy until the Dancin' opener, iirc.

Here's a re-cap (in case you missed it ): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-gV6RUKHJw&feature=onebox

I was able to catch that show, as well. All of the SPACs actually.

The jam in this 21 + min. Sugaree from Hartford '77 comes to mind: https://archive.org/details/gd77-05-28.sbd.sacks.4983.sbefail.shnf/gd77-05-28d1t03.shn

Then CHI is a point below blowing.....

This post has "me" all over it. Thought of you the other day when I heard they were skating together tonight. Both vying to get one up on the other in (distant) hopes of a play-off spot.... And, looking forward to the new MP's album. 25 years or so since an album with Bostrom!

The Sun Dome I still have on tape, but the Hollywood one I referenced was the night before at The Sportatorium. The Sun Dome show is solid, though, particularly the 2nd set.
