After watching some video from the recent tour, I have a feeling the band may be maxed out on putting up with Dave's antics. I guess it could be they are wore our or something.

There's a website: The Owsley Stanley Foundation I would be surprised if they could get through all the legal stuff that would have to take place before those were released. On his old website, he posted about that from time to time.

Bill says he's out of the reunion. I wonder if Mike Bordin will end up playing with them again.

I can't say I am much of a fan of Donna's vocals. My understanding is that she could not really hear herself on stage. At least, that is what I have always read. And I don't really know much about post 74 shows to know much about Brent. I think I have a Dick's Picks that he is on (Volume 5).

Almost all the shows over the last several months have been put up at Dime a Dozen only. That leaves a lot of people out - who can't get on Dime a Dozen.

Thanks for taping. Please consider putting the show up at bt.etree.org instead of Dime a Dozen.

Enough with the videos, please.

I don't think they would go for a commercial release being seeded there. I am surprised someone has not busted that guy. (Although, there are some shows up there that have been commercially released in the past.)

I've often wondered about that myself. Along with the fact that you can snag SBD shows from bt.etree.org, but the very same shows are blocked from downloading at Archive.org. And that guy seems to be the one who has or works on all the SBD shows.

No, I meant Shug. Carry on, dudes. Everything is cool.

Yea - I don't want to fill this thread up with stuff like that. It leaves more room for the music.

I believe we may have a different view, so I will refrain from further comments.

That post about "Dick's Jams" got me to check out the 1969-08-30 and 1969-11-02 shows.

I think someone talks about that guy in the Taper's book. The real shame is the formats they used - VHS, cassette, and DAT. Of course, that is what was how it was at the time. I would have made copies on reel to reel tape - and then turned the original tapes over to the band. Of course, by that time reel to reel machines were no longer common. And you can't walk around with one if you want to listen to music.

I have not read that yet. I take it he got access from someone who bought the tapes at the auction. There is a long story about all of that in the Taper's book.

The one about Dick Latava is sad. Denial really screwed that band. The one about acoustic shows is great. I rather like it when Bob sang Dire Wolf.

I grabbed that Smile back recently. I have always appreciated Priore’s enthusiasm, but I don’t agree with the way he separates Brian from the rest of the band. It took all those voices to sing what Brian created. At least that is the way I look at it. That passage towards the end where Brian calls Van Dyke out of the blue and asks him about the lyrics is something else. With all this Beach Boys talk going on, I recently realized I have been listening to the band for about 36 years now.

A good bit of that information is not exactly right. And - if one gets into the personal lives of musicians, you are always going to find nasty things.

I read about this somewhere recently. I think it was as an article I found at Expecting Rain.

I recall reading somewhere once that Mickey described what he and Billy did as "chasing air" or something like that. I often think of that when I am listening to The Eleven. I am listening to the 6/21/1969 show - which made me think of his quote. The drumming is just spectacular.

I think they are pretty much playing the same songs every night. I would go to all the shows I could, if I had the time and bread.

The song by Dennis is called Forever. It's on the Sunflower album.

I'm not much into horns, but that was pretty neat.

I really like the Dark Star from the 2/13 show. Jerry's tone is just great.
