That tour had a nice laid back vibe to it.
well, at least they're on DVDs, all my live shows are on cassettes and I have nothing to play them on anymore lol! I realized that I mostly used to play just the same few shows anyway, so eh..I listen to Dead & Co, and all the other offshoot stuff on YT a lot at work. They do all the thinking for you.
At home my main inside music source is SXM {on my Dish package}. Jimmy Buffet's and the Grateful Dead's channels are right next to each other. About the only time I listen is when I'm in the shower. I have a TV across the hall from the bathroom door, and I just turn it up real loud. Since GD songs are so long, and showers are so short, I usually listen to the JB channel.
We have been doing some closet cleaning and whatnot. The wife ask me if she could have the space where all my CD's were in the credenza. Since I haven't listened to one in several years, I couldn't refuse her. So I have a huge stack of those big notebook CD holders laying on the stairwell for now. Must find room. {I have several hundred GD concerts recorded from SXM on to DVD's. This stack is even bigger than my CD stack It's supposed to be easy to turn those into files these days. I just haven't taken the time to do it}
I generally like the Pig Pen years, as opposed to Donna Jean, I don't know if it's her voice that rubs me the wrong or what but I can't even listen to anything she's on for the most part?This week in Grateful Dead History. . . . . 49 years ago. Damn we must be getting old.
I wonder if the Dead believe in the flat earth bullshit? What say ye, Wanker?
How’s the crayon work coming along? Able to stay inside the black lines yet?
Being too high in big crowds is not fun.Wow. Ok... I saw the Bobby & The Midnights and JGB tour in the 80s. My friend freaked in the parking at Cape Cod lot over a guy bouncing a small rubber ball. He was convinced he was signaling the cops. Thought I was gonna get crushed up front with a dude yelling “ bring out your Dead!” Moved to the back and chilled. Car broke down on the way home and we slept in the woods at a rest stop.
Good times. See you at LOCKN!
One of the shows I have recorded there was some sort of issue with the amps, and they opened with several of the "cowboy" songs. Pretty cool.Loved Big Iron. Saw them at PPAC (Providence) and they played it. 80s were awesome...
Or maybe they were waiting for someone?One of the shows I have recorded there was some sort of issue with the amps, and they opened with several of the "cowboy" songs. Pretty cool.
