It's been one heck of a ride and you've kept the beat through all of it - Thank You 💓

No doubt. I got shut out of both shows but on night #2, it didn't take long for those of us in the lot to find out they had played Dark Star. Bit of a gut punch but I was fully healed exactly 1 week later when I got to see my first Dark Star at Brenden Byrne. Well, mostly healed. RIP Adam Katz.

RIP Hit King. He could just never be honest with himself and others about his gambling until it was too late. Doesn't diminish how great he was on the field and he loved the game of baseball more than just about any player who has ever worn a MLB jersey. His collision at the plate with Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game was a good personification of his spirit and passion for baseball. He could be a real jack-ass off the field but he was far from the only one. Have a peek at Ty Cobb's history. Amazing player / miserable asshole of a person. Makes Pete Rose seem like a choirboy....

Continuous vibes to you and all of those in that region. I'm 2-3 hours from that area but have spent my fair share of time there. It's crazy to see pictures of places where I've stood many times and what those places look like now. Utter devastation doesn't even seem to cover what's going. It will take many, many years before things get back to a semblance of what they used to be and I fear many places will never fully recover. The human toll / physically and emotionally / is catastrophic and the federal response has been underwhelming. Self-reliance is indeed something that's severely lacking when the need is growing exponentially. A tiny silver lining is seeing people put aside their differences to try and help one another. I wish it didn't require such tragedy for that to happen but it gives me a tiny sliver of hope. It won't last but at least it's not 100% gone. Hang in there, PG 💓

Yup. Eventually my tape made Jerry sound like Alvin - from the chipmunks

2nd set list is correct - that show was quite a Ryde from start to finish. HaHa - I get the fanboy treatment from them more out of obligation than desire. They are super nice guys tho

That 2nd set was incredible! St Stephen > Promontory Ryder > William Tell > 11 was great - as was the Terrapin Suite

On 12/1/2013, they played 10/16/74. DSO lists ‘Seastone Jam’ to start Set 2. That’s the only one listed in StarBase until 9/26/24

Thanks - the archive source I landed on had them listed. https://archive.org/details/gd74-09-10.sbd.samaritano.18806.sbeok.shnf But did you play Seastones or sample it a little?

You're right. Tennessee Jed and Black Peter were not performed. Did DSO actually perform Seastones?

“The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer. They think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.”
