Greg from Chestertown

Today’s reason, I cleaned my house to the point that I am uncomfortable in it. I don’t feel like I belong here. …gotta get back to where I belong….

Lol! Yea, I’m embarrassed. Totally. After the text, I went back and saw the comma after the question mark. Tried to fix my post but my aversion to technical won out. As an old friend of mine used to say, CAUTION; Engage brain before engaging mouth.

Dallas game just went to commercial playing Tedeschi trucks band, ‘anyhow’. Tapers alert, possible Grateful Dead.

Yea, I went back and looked, saw SOTOTW as the second song, tried to delete my post but that’s above my comprehension level. Had to roll with it.

Rude, it’s sitting on top of the world. Pretty sure it’s off the GD’s first album, a cover of an older bluegrass or Americana tune. Kinda rare, caught it only once when Furthur opened with it. I had to google it to figure out what all those letters meant.

Yea, Irish got beat up.

Gotta forfeit a point, outhouse was plastic.

Not to be a dick or anything, but I think the term comes from coal miners in West Virginia who were identified by the red kerchief that they wore around their necks.

30 but about half of them were in my adult life. I can’t believe deliberately listening to country music didn’t make the list.

A raiders fan since the first moment I saw them passing the ball down the field instead of the one guy giving the ball to the other guy and he just runs into the pile of guys in front of him, about 55 years ago. They knew how to play the game. Thank God for memories, it enables me to still be a Raiders fan. Reading about John Madden’s passing brought a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat. Madden era Raiders had the highest winning percentage of ALL professional sports teams.

What we’re thinking about is a peaceful planet. We’re not thinking about anything else. We’re not thinking about any kind of power. We’re not thinking about any kind of struggles. We’re not thing about revolution or war or any of that. That’s not what we want. Nobody wants to get hurt. Nobody wants to hurt anybody. We would all like to be able to live an uncluttered life. A simple life, a good life. And think about moving the whole human race ahead a step, or a few steps. Garcia

I feel so sorry for the band and crew at this point. We just can’t seem to shake this funk. Geez!, I thought I needed a show. Can you imagine how they must feel?

She’s where the space is. She’s in the middle of space.

Maybe you’ll find direction, around some corner, where it’s been waiting to meet you…..

I had the unfortunate trauma of going to quite a few shows in the late eighties, early nineties with a couple who kept a boat in the marina I used to run. They have been going to shows since ‘72. Anyway, she hated hell in a bucket and would vocalize this at the beginning of every show. If the band opened with it, she would bitch, moan and complain through out. A real Debbie Downer.

Anthem, in the back, right side of sound board, alongside Julie Andrews.

Bertha/Good Lovin’, any one, doesn’t matter.

Loose Lucy!

3/31/87, Jack Straw/ Franklin’s.

Gimme three steps.

How did they play the Steely Dan tunes? Representative of the Dan or the Dead? Or C, none of the above?

Feeling’ groovy jam is the best!

Aaahh, Spring tour !!! There’s a band down on the highway, they’re high stepping’ into town… ….. let there be songs, to fill the air…

Outside of the standard fare, GD album releases, there was a record shop in Claymont, De., Jeremiah’s, that would have Grateful Dead bootleg albums which were recordings of shows on albums. I remember one called Hot as Hell which was also sometimes called imaginary ballroom 1975 Great American music hall, San Fran. Another one was simply called Santa Monica 1982. The wheel and dark Star, I think. One was Moe’s place that I bought because the set list had I Need a Miracle and I had just caught a show with a hot Miracle. One was called Rampen’s Revenge which had a St. Steven from ‘78, I believe. Another was a triple album called For Dead Heads only. Early 70’s stuff. I traded all those albums to Bill Wright, the DJ on WRNR in Annapolis for putting them on CD for me. You got me inspired to dig them up and go through them. Reckoning needs mentioning as my second show was one of the Radio City acoustic shows. We went knowing that they were recording for an album. 9 of the 16 songs on that album were on the set list from the night I was there. That makes it seem like a tape of a show I was at. Monkey and the engineer is from the nite I was there. BTW, I have yet to listen to Live/Dead. I’m saving that for later. It’s what’s keeping me alive. I can’t go yet, there’s still more Grateful Dead music I have to check out! That’s all, thanks for letting me share.

…never in my mind to cause so much pain…
