AOL is streaming the entire album.

The Jam at the end of Dark Star on Dick's Picks Volume 2 (Columbus, Ohio 10/31/71). Jerry's playing on this jam makes me think of someone surfing.

I believe she is not there.

Which makes me think of this:

It's the story about Keith saying that he snorted his dead father's ashes. He then later said that he was making that up. I suppose I was just thinking of all those Keith interviews where he threatens people, and talks about carrying a knife in his boot.

I heard the song Cocaine And Ashes the other day. Jay better hope that Keith does not come after him with his big knife.

I was reading about it in the Taping Compendium book, and decided to check it out.

Some 80's Metal: Anthrax - Metal Thrashing Mad Metal Church - The Dark And, uh, this:

Grateful Dead 1973-12-12

The 3rd Volume and the Addendum are the ones eluding me also. There are some new videos up at Dead.net. 4/12 Greensboro 4/14 Charlottesville Goin' Down The Road

The Windmills of Your Mind

I see your point, and actually, the music I listen to the most comes from that time period. I just don't think it's necessary to push the drug issue. I would like to think it was more than that - as a lot of things were going down at the time. And also - we are talking about a very talented group of people, spread over several bands, so something must be said for talent and natural creativity.

That's how I see them - always have. Mr. Orkie is right though - if you look them up at Wikipedia, the term psychedelic rock is used in describing them. I think it was due to some of the silly lyrics that Pete Brown wrote with Jack Bruce, the clothing and hair of Eric, and some of the album cover art one finds on two of their albums. But I believe at the heart of the band was the blues, amplified, which is just the way I like it. I believe some of that speaks to what I said earlier - it was about commercial appeal. I doubt Rollin' and Tumblin' was a hit, but, of course, Sunshine of Your Lov

I'm not much of Pink Floyd fan - and could never stand the whole Wish You Were Here deal. If you want to talk about dope, I think that album was made for people on downers. What I do like: Fat Old Sun, A Pillow of Winds, Echoes (except for the noise part), Dark Side of The Moon, and the Pompeii film.

I was surprised. I was actually looking for a out of print comic book by Tim Truman, which I got for a good price.

Someone has a copy of first volume of the Taping Compendum up at Ebay for 5 bucks.

Maybe ABC can do a Fantasy Island type spin-off with Richard.

I am just saying I don't think one needs to take drugs to enjoy the music. If the only way one can enjoy something is in an altered state, it may be time to re-think what you are doing. Do you think Roger was setting around eating acid when he made Dark Side of The Moon? I am not the Pink Floyd scholar you are, but I would be surprised if he was doing such things. He is too much of a control freak to do that, I would think. And I don't think American Beauty or Workingman's Dead would fall under the category of psychedelic music - far from it. You know what I really think of when I thin

I wonder why they don't just release them together? They have done this sort of deal before.

Interesting. I wonder if Geronimo Jackson is ever going to show up.

I was just reading this at Dark UFO: I have wondered about that for a while - is there another group at work here.

I believe Mr. Young is fascinated by new technology, which is part of the reason he went with Blu-ray. I think the other reason is that he feels it is more secure than the DVD format, and finally, he intends to add things to the box down the road - or so we have read.

I've been listening to that music since I was a kid, and I never call it psychedelic music, or classic rock, for that matter. Some of what you are saying sounds like bullshit to me. And don't give me a lecture about drugs.

I knew they would be getting Michael and Pam back in there soon, but I was surprised that Ryan was thrown in there as well. I guess B.J. Novak is tired of just being the writer again. I thought that scene in the kitchen was a bit odd, but I guess Jim had already set up Charles with the whole prodding of Dwight about the bees.

Oh. Same thing, only different. Just another Paul song. I think we had a thread once where people could pick apart the White album. I figure it's fine the way it is.
