Pray for Mojo

LSD isn't a drug. It is at the very foundation of this music. Cocaine and heroine ruined it and Jerry's life. Then again, he was carrying a heavy burden....

I’m talking about the shows where Jerry was so fucked up from drugs or lack thereof, that he couldn’t play or sing worth a fuck. The half hearted attempts. The forgotten lyrics. That’s something you do not get with DSO. Their professionalism takes that out of the mix. They don’t recreate the flaws. Don’t get me wrong. I also understand that without the drugs, you don’t get Jerry taking our minds to the edge of the universe with a Dark Star that goes on forever, etc. I also think that DSO brings people together so that these conversations can happen in real time before, during,(talkers), and after shows, as opposed to blips on the forums. I imagine that Jubilee is the epitome of that scenario.

That was my first impression at my first Dark Star Orchestra show. I can still do this! I can still go to shows! You’re right, we got it back. With a sober, professional enthusiasm. They can ‘fix’ all the drugged out shows, rough vocals, and tackle a nineties set list with a vengeance. My favorite facet is that they go back before my time and deliver a seventies show or even earlier. Yea, Praise DSO.

Queen Jane is a spinners delight. Then again, it's all subjective. This setlist was boring to me with some highlights sprinkled throughout. Throwing stones>nfa is the epidome of "standard 80s finisher". That being said, When in the right mood, i can love it. Shit, I've had a blast dancing to Samba in the Rain. Still waiting for Barraco to get the cahones to sing that one 😄 consider that a challenge if you're reading this...

Blasphemy!!! Blasphemy too, PG. The end made up for the rest. And the answer to the song question is crime.

Victim -> Foolish makes me want to run off the road, into a tree. Then just pour some salt in my wounds and play Queen Jane.

Man. I loved show 13. My first 100 shows like every night or every other night was the best ever. Now I have like 25 shows in my top 10. Welcome to the family. I’m sure our paths will cross on down the line. Enjoy the ride.
