I think there was sort of scene here where I live back then. I don't know much about it as I was never involved in such things. It was nice to see everyone with long hair though. Maybe the last time we will see that. A friend of mine from high school was the the main main in one of those sorts of bands. I believe they are still at it. The band is called The Recipe.

I have read that story somewhere. I don't recall where though. Maybe in one of those Taper's books.

I didn't watch it - but I think I saw a video compilation of news reports somewhere the other day. I don't think I used the Internets until later on - late 1996 I think.

I take it you get the joke I was making - Electric Apricot: Quest For Festeroo.

Did you ever play with Electric Apricot?

It was either that - or the second show. I forget which. That must be it.

Hey - another new live album: Band of Gypsys - First Show - Fillmore East 12/31/1969 This is the good stuff though.

I wonder if the space where they played is still there? It would be cool to check it out. Just after I posted this reply I found a Jeff show from Harpur College (Illinois) at bt.etree.org. Cosmic.

That's on the live release Deep End Live.

Here's one Mountain Bed will appreciate:

I use to listen to that White City tape quite a bit back in the day.

Pete is releasing a show from the 1980s:

I take it that is from one of the recent new uploads at bt.etee.org. Any other band would probably do a cease and desist on whoever is uploading that stuff.

I may grab some of them. I rather like that song Clementine. I just now dialed up the 2/2/1968 version of that song. After the video was over YouTube kicks to 12-14-1971 and a Pigpen rap.

There is a bunch of GD and JGB shows up at bt.etree today that seem to be un-circulated and/or new Betty Board tapes. That's the first I have heard that there are new ones out there.

This looks interesting:

Nash Strat - yea, that's the sound.

You must have had a premonition: Butch Trucks: The Freight Train's Freight Train

Ah - that's it.

I thought he already used that guitar at some other JGS shows?

That's right - that goes way back.

He does seem full of himself. I think that trouble with him and Dickey started because he wanted to run the business so to speak. But really it was his crap playing that got him removed from the band. Nothing we haven't already talked about or read about.

I skipped to The Wizard. I don't think I care to hear that again.

I seem to recall reading that he and Gregg had talked on the phone or said nice things about each other in interviews over the past few years. I guess that is true - there was some talk of him playing at one of the last shows.

It would would work if he is not wasted.
