  1. I didn't even think of this for my whacked out iPod Classic 160 that I barely use anymore due to it being on the blink. A quick google search led me here, though: http://www.ebay.com/gds/How-to-Refurbish-an-iPod-/10000000177770905/g.html And here: https://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Classic Personally, I'd feel more comfortable with paying an "expert" to refurbish mine, by if you're a DIY'er...
  2. Wooo boy. I'll have to go back and listen, but Weir's slide never bothered me (in Werewolves, Rooster, wherever). Speaking of St,Paul, probably my favorite second set from '81 is 7.10.81. It looks pretty tame on paper but has some amazing playing and excellent transitions, particularly post-Drums: Samson and Delilah Althea Estimated Prophet Eyes of the World drums Uncle John's Band Playin' in the Band China Doll Uncle John's Band Playin' in the Band Around and Around Good Lovin'
  3. Heh. Under the car: Yeah, shade from morning sun, a little bit of protection, and a little but of privacy. It's not ideal but...
  4. The New Hampshire->Alpine drive was in some old purple car with suicide doors. Slept under it a couple nights in the hot, dirt lot.
  5. Someone drop boxed me the 7.8.78 show the other day. The versions I've heard were already really good and, honestly, couldn't tell much of a difference with the new disc. Excellent show(s), either way.
  6. I met my future gf's two buddies there. They were strangers to me then but they were staying at a really nice hotel/resort about a half hour away and they invited me to join them on the day off. I was able to shower and swim and they had many party favors and booze. Months later, turns out those 2 guys were great friends with her....
  7. Yeah, slept in/under cars or on the ground/in a field mostly back then and would stop at truck stops to shower here and there. Every now and then, like in New Orleans, one of us might know someone with a place to stay and we'd hotel it for a night here and there when we could, too. Side note: dogs wouldn't eat those bagels by the time we went from New Hampshire->ATL-> Hampton. A waste of time and $. Stupid kids,,,,
  8. I was on 22 and on "sabbatical" from college in VA and had moved to N.H. with a buddy who, also, was on a leave from same school. We left N.H. in the spring with another guy we'd met (w/ about 200 bagels and 50 lbs. of cream cheese to sell to help with beer, gas, food, tix $) did all shows Atlanta->Worcester. That summer I left from N.H. with 2 other guys on a late-night spur-of-the moment deal (I had maybe a spare t-shirt or 2) for Alpine and did all shows (except Pittsburgh) from Alpine-> Oxford, ME. I finished my school leave of absence that fall but was still able to catch 3 Ca
  9. Free Dead & Co at S.F. Fillmore Monday, May 23rd: http://concerts.livenation.com/event/1C0050B1F4037A08?dma_id=264
  10. I saw 30 GD shows alone in '88 plus probably 25-30 other non-GD shows the same year (Taj Mahal, Pink Floyd, Phish, etc.).
  11. There's a great cd of Guy, Townes, and Steve Earle on stage together in early 2000s sharing songs and stories together from The Bluebird in Nashville that is top-notch. One of my favorite discs,
  12. Bertha opener is tight, but the Scarlet is a highlight (for me). It reaches a really "get off" few notes at the point where you think the "jam" is over, but it reaches higher....Nice show.
  13. Oh man Guy Clark died. bummer....
  14. "I'm going back to San Anselmo, I do believe I've had enough...." I've heard Phil sing a time or 2 in Just Like Tom Thumb's. The Keystone discs are really good (that encores, one, too). A lot of that era JGB is pretty easy to access. I'd like to see some more LoM stuff and maybe some Great American String Band stuff (preferably era with Taj on bass).
  15. I know! Velveeta isn't, either, but it makes a pretty great grilled cheese sandwich....
  16. Real Parmesan, or Parmigiano-Reggiano, cheese (not the crap in the green bottle) is regaled as a great cheese by cheese experts the world over. I love most cheeses, even the processed American cheese on a burger or the port wine cheddar log.....
  17. Ha! Nice. George high on meth for the big dance scene and ends up eviscerating Mary's original date (Alfalfa from the Our Gang gang) behind the school.
  18. It's loaded with all the typical Tarantino stuff: tons of profanity, sex, mega-violence, etc. This is what Roots was always missing. It'd love to see a re-make of It's a Wonderful Life, too. The first one just didn't cut it.
  19. You'll love Tarantino's upcoming re-make of Roots.....
  20. This is the collection of short stories, right? I'm a Steinbeck fan but have never read this. It's chock full of good writing, I presume?
  21. You should have gone with the meatball parm.
