So prompted above, I decided to delve into my dead base. There are some tunes that are classically coupled, of course. Scarlet Fire, China Rider, Fantasy-> Jude, Estimated-> Eyes, Alligator-> Caution and Mama Tried-> Mexicali. I thought I would share what other trends I saw and feel free to dispute, discuss, add among yourselves. Alabama ->Promised Land or GSET. Early 80s Althea-> Sailor, LLR or ETLY. For 73-74, RIDER_> Around and Around often. Bertha: 71-72 Bertha -> MAMU 78-79 saw MIR-bertha-GLOV 77-79 Bertha-> GLOV Big River 78-83 MAMU-> Bertha Cryptical Suite->Cosmic Charlie 69-71 Dark Star-> Steven trend 68-71 While Estimated Eyes is popular, 2nd most popular Estimated-> He's Gone. Half Step-> Franklin's NFA-GDTRFB-NFA of course Stones-NFA GSET 80-82 ALA-GSET-FOTD popular trilogy Also BER- GSET-> PEG or FOTD 89s Touch-> GSET Terrapin: TERR-> DRUMZ but 78-79 TERR-Picasso Moon Sailor-Saint 86-95 stand alone saints Sailor always became a Saint ( How about that answer for Terrapin of choosing wisely lol) SCARLET SCAR-TOUCH mid 80s SHIP: SAMS-> Ship and WOMS-> Ship popular Spoonful evolved out of Truckin or He's Gone STEPH-> Eleven or NFA O1-> Stella popular SUGAREE 72-73 PROM-> SUG popular 85-94 combo BUCK-> SUG DRUMZ-> Wheel pretty much is the Wheel. ELEVEN-LOVL GONE- Truckin Playing-UJB I think I'd really like to see 6/20/74 for that Eyes-> Slip_>Doll

I guess 87-89 maybe 20- 25 times definite favorite! Noted and appreciated 😀 looks like FOTD was a perennial favorite too coming out of Stranger over the years....

And to DSO’s own credit- they are a group of very accomplished musicians. They should have some room for self expression.

DSO has been doing electives for years. In fact, my 4th show was an elective ( maybe I've seen DSO 60 times now) and there were things there that didn't work for me that time, but to tell you the truth, there were times the Grateful Dead had that it wasn't working for me either. Sometimes, it was me probably and not them-lol, . That elective in 2014 featured Pride of Cucamonga and I thought I might commit hari-kari right there; however knowing Skip's personality having seen more shows since then, when he does that song, which btw he does really, really well imho, I enjoy it because of him. That same show featured " The Last Time" and I enjoyed the hell out of it. DSO helped heal a wound around that one as Jerry started singing it, it made me bonkers. I just knew it was going to BE the last time I saw them and that was troubling. Now I am a little confused...... typically Feel like a Stranger and Franklin's are not traditionally coupled, like China Rider came to be, so really no loss there. Your show has some atypicals. I know a guy who'd give his next month's paycheck to hear Visons.....Maybe you just didn't get what you were expecting. Your description of the Dead show- the highs the lows the novelty and whole concert package sounds like to me you got at this show. Maybe you didn't get what you wanted, but maybe in the end you got what you need. Glad you are posting and hang around....Iko Iko

Yeah, probably their thoughts exactly when setting this one up. 👍🏼

Listen to the absolute thumping transition from Wharf Rat - > Slipknot-> Franklin’s You will Phil it low and loud! Today in history 9/27/76 Rochester NY i think I bordered on blowing a speaker with that bass. 🤭 https://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1976/09/27

Anyone seen Ghostlight? Tommy Hamilton’s band with Holly Bowling on keys.

She played Jubilee this year. Amazing

Proud of that deep southern Georgia brew, huh, Chuck?

Great idea, Greg!

I am taking your likes as approval and proceeding to make different color felt collars with bells on the points and decorated around the edge with ric-rac. Current mood: magenta

Am I seeing things, or is the resemblance uncanny?

Romantic Balladier. Does that make your stomach turn? Maybe no. This wasn’t Easy Cheese. I had good fun on Friday. Firstly, the Knight Tbeater also known as the Belk Theater is acoustically outstanding and a great 2,000 capacity theater designed in mid century style in downtown Charlotte, My video sound is crisp and has depth. I went along trusting my friend’s good judgement to see Chris Isaak. Now I am familiar with “Wicked Game ” but believe it or not, never seen that sultry video filmed on Kawai and knew that his music associated with David Lynch. So I have to say that , man that guy can croon, has a funny sense of humor, and commands a falsetto that would turn a cannoli inside out. He covered Elvis, Roy Orbison and .Phil Phillips. FYI The musicians were just ok. And..... people got up to dance. So weird...

9/2/78 FOTD gives him a $15 bill and vanishes in the air. LLR builds to a thunderhead. First set Miracle is a rocker, Bobby falsetto at end is sexy. Lazy Lighting- >Supplication. Good Lovin rap. Inventiveness in Scarlet jam. Jerry shreds in Eyes.

Wow. Have you ever tried growing quinoa? Just curious. I heard it is very drought tolerant. Quinoa could one day help solve the world hunger problem. Read an article about San Fran company that looks at weather trends and predicts with amazing accuracy the best time to plant. The guy used to be a stock broker and used same modalities to help farmers. . Familiar with milpa? The three sisters? Corn beans squash. Symbiotic plants. There are tracks of land in Mexico that have been repetitively farmed for 4,000 years without depletion of the soil. Captain Jim’s Dead bug did the trick for my tomatoes. Very cool as it is made from a bacteria found only in some abandoned Caribbean warehouse. Weird science, for sure. I had these cute little orange nymphs on my zinnias that jumped to lunch on my tomatoes. I captured and drowned them in soapy water. Catching the mature Stinkbugs was a trick though. The compost we used yielded great results- 6 1/2 ft tall tomato plants!!! A company picks up our food scraps and we can request at no charge compost whenever for $22/ mth. I know now that is nothing compared to what you do - just my journey.

Organic gardening is intensive and a labor of love. Just count on losing 2 out of 10 veggies.

And all your reasoning behind this name would be appreciated..... well maybe not..... yuck, Rude

I have big plans for 2/22/2019, wherever I may be.

As my friend and lady who helps me out says, “Aretha could hoop!”. I think she’d say the same of Lisa. 😉

I found out the sounds of Aretha singing comingled with space was a spiritual from MLK’s funeral. The faintest sounds of her voice got louder and louder and it seemed like her spirit had been called in a seance. And then space morphed into Dear Mr Fantasy.... it was powerful!

There is nothing quite like being surrounded by so many dear, loving hearts. You make my life a beautiful garden. I am taking today as a day to enjoy the glorious view and perspective, breathe it in and solidify it as we start a new season, marked by man, not by nature. Peace and and great love, PG

And the elders ask, when did you stop dancing? As a person? As a people? That is why you are sad. No time to hate.... poor souls. Why care about cool? That is one measuring stick I fail to meet. And the invitations? Watch out for vampires. They just want your joy, but for what cost? . Not a soul union- a meeting of souls- intermingling of kundalini- the essence of you and that one swirled together. To touch and feel the light of a thousand sunshines condensed into that wonderful being of you made more of interatomical space than not. I recommend getting a vintage car with manual locks and see if the lucky gal unlocks for you on your side after you let her in. Like a vintage MG. 🎼”Let me roll it to you... like a wheel....” Wish you had been at Blk Mtn! Good vibes bursting into dance always welcome. There are never too many stars in the heavens.
