I bought the Nels show, flacs. Nels comes out starting with Dreams, and best I can tell takes the solo that starts at the 5:00 minute mark. I think.

Take that back. Just announced that Levon can't play and Lobos are doing a *free* show tonight in Portsmouth. Good for them, and for anyone who makes it!

Doesn't exactly fit the criteria, but was watching the most recent House of Lies and one of the guys said " turn your frown upside down.". I have some live show, must be a Tweedy show (from D.C. I think) where he banters about being embarrassed by that lyric. So that qualifies as a " Wilco heard while out and about", I think.

Should be, but I'm not, going to Los Lobos and Levon Helm in Portsmouth. Bummed about that.

Just watched the slideshow, set to Jack Straw. Love those photos. The next week at Roosevelt Stadium was my first proper Dead show, these photos really bring me back to what was a great time.

It's been very quiet, too quiet.

Agree with all that. Excellent analysis!

Hers's the discussion thread on the Allmans forum http://allmanbrothersband.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=XForum&file=viewthread&tid=122781

Now that is what I call a surprise guest! Btw, you should change the topic heading to "3/16"

Nels plaed on Dreams, Spanish Key and Mountain Jam. I'll purchase this one.

Nels with the Allmans at the Beacon! Whoa! Was he playing Duane's Goldtop?

Can't argue with that logic. A year that had that Europe tour and Veneta is tough to beat.

I may agree with that, but have you seen the extra footage on disc 2 of the DVD release of The GD Movie? Straight out uninterrupted footage of them playing, without the cutaways, interviews, etc of the movie. I'm away from my house now and can't remember what's on there (I think a China/Rider, Other One, a Mind Left Body jam?) but i know it's Outstanding footage from a classic run of shows.

Thanks. Nice way to start my morning.

Everything about that Veneta show is off the hook great. The word has always been that Garcia was heavily dosed that day, and watching him play in that Sunshine Daydream movie, he certainly has the look of a man deep into some Lysergic. So many highlights in that show: China/Rider, Greatest Story, Playin, jack Straw, the naked guy in the tree behind Garcia...

I saw a good video of that, I think it was posted on Hidden Track, you'll find it on YouTube I'm sure.

Today I treated myself and picked up the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab pressing of Wake of the Flood (limited edition number 000819 for you sports fans keeping score at home). All I can say is "holy shit!". I'm now going to have to go get me the MoFi pressing of Live Dead. Like right away.

Rock Me fucking Baby

Wondering if any VC'ers are in the house during this run, and if so how Gregg is doing. I thought Gregg was in terrible performance shape during the 3 shows I saw at the Orpheum in November. Wondering whether he's risen above, or more of the same.

Well, turns out that I actually saw The Slip many years ago at Great Woods. Just this morning I was telling my buddy about the Barr Brothers and said that they came out of The Slip, and he reminded me that we saw them open for someone at Great Woods. I had no idea. He remembered because the bass player looked just like another friend of ours. That I remember. And I remembered we liked the band. I had no memory that it was The Slip. My mind is a terrible thing to waste.

I don't know if it's the same. The Terrapin Station I was referring to was a dial up bulletin board, pre www.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm on it.
