Yea - back on topic.

 

I re-watched that so-called lost black and white 1970 film from Europe the other day. I love watching how Jerry answers those questions at that party or whatever it was. I wonder who that girl with the dark eye shadow is that was often seen taking photographs.

 

I think next to the Alligator Strat period my favorite Jerry sound is when he was playing that SG.

I listen to 2/13/70 this morning -- it's definitely a great one. 

Jonah is a good choice, but not sure how they'll handle the singing and guitar playing - dub in Jon Mayer? Not a fan of rock biopics, but Scorcese did some interesting things with the recent fictional

I like the interviews. It was quite something to listen to someone read the letters Pigpen wrote to his family.

I was listening to the latest season of the Deadcast and they were talking with some of the people from the Stanford AI lab.  After a minute I realized one of them is the dude who lives across the street from me.  He's away for a bit but I can't wait to see him when he gets back.  I had no idea about his involvement in early online Dead stuff.

My favorite Grateful Dead songs are "Ripple," "Terrapin Station," and "Scarlet Begonias." I love the way these songs showcase the band's intricate musical arrangements and poetic lyrics.

The question above got me thinking about favorite songs.  Over the past few years, while working from home, I've been listening to more Dead than I have in a long time.  And almost all of the songs I go back to are Jerry songs: Bird Song, Dark Star, Scarlet>Fire, Morning Dew, Eyes of the World, Brokedown Palace, Ripple, Terrapin, Althea, Franklin's Tower, Friend of the Devil, China>Rider.

 

I don't mean to crap on Weir - I really like his guitar playing - but in thinking about my favorite Dead songs, almost none are his.  There are some I like: the Other One, Cassidy, Estimated.
