Watching the impeachment trial made me think of this one. Little Johnny comes home from school, says, ‘ dad, I’m a little confused. I hear the older kids talking. Can you get pregnant from anal sex?’ ‘Sure you can, son. Where do you think lawyers come from?’

A guy goes into a bar, orders a shot. He immediately downs the shot, slams the shot glass on the bar and orders another shot. He downs that and right away orders another shot which he downs immediately. He orders another shot and downs it right away. The bartender says, ‘Damn, Cap’n, what are we celebrating?’ The guy says, ‘oh, it’s my first blow job.’ The bartender says ‘well, in that case, let me buy you another shot.’ Then, the guy says ‘ No, that’s ok. If the first four didn’t get rid of the taste, the next one won’t do any good either.

What’s red and green and goes a hundred and fifty miles an hour? a frog in a blender.

I remember when DSO recreated that show because that’s the date that my son was born. I caught the Grateful Dead two weeks later and they were fine. Reviews of the Original Tacoma show are all about the sound being awful. I guess the sound man can have an off night.

I couldn’t quite make out the next tune but I was thinking obscure Dylan. Kinda freaked me out, thought I was having a flashback but I caught myself. I haven’t seen a DSO Low Spark live. Yet.

So, I’m in the grocery store this afternoon and the speakers in the ceiling are playing Low Spark. Just the original version, though, not a Dark Star rendition. I thought it was pretty cool.

John K is playing in Ardmore with Splintered Sunlight on Saturday FWIW

Looks like low spark is in the rotation

I’m liking big railroad blues into terrapin Station. Arguably, two train songs back to back. On purpose? Done before? Ever done reverse order? I also dig it when Saturday night is played on another night of the week.

What’s the difference between snowmen and snow women?. snowballs

I prefer my burgers with ketchup and mustard.

I’m guessing Bobby is going to pass away on stage. He’s there more than home. Gotta respect that. I’m gonna sit right here until I die....

I think I figured it out last night. Dead and Company is a Dark Star Orchestra tribute band.

. So, Albert Einstein, the Pope and a boy scout are on a plane. The plane develops engine trouble and it looks like they’re going to crash. The only problem is that there’s three people but only two parachutes. As they start to debate who should get a parachute and survive, Einstein grabs a ‘chute, throws it on his back and jumps out of the plane, the whole time giving a quick speech about how he needs to live so that he can protect the world and save humanity with his intelligence. The Pope turns to the Boy Scout and proceeds to explain to the young fella why he needs to live. The Boy Scout interrupts the Pope and says, ‘Relax, old man, the smartest man in the world just jumped out of the plane with my knapsack.’

It’s all over now?

I saw Bob Weir on acoustic and Rob Wasserman on stand up bass do Blackbird in their set, opening for Jerry Band in ‘89. I was walking around singing that tune for a month straight after that. Quite an impression.

A guy walks into a bar. You’d think he would have seen it.

And China Cat Sunflower. Again, how do you stop at ten Hunter/Grateful Dead songs. Dark Star, Brokedown.....

Maybe the problem is trying to stop at ten, but no Box of Rain?

Feeble attempt at a set list from last night at The 8X10, Better Off Dead. Mississippi half step West LA Corrinna Box a Rain ( pretty damn good) hey Pocky way Mighty Quinn new speedway boogie terrapin I need a Miracle standing on the moon St. Stephen Alligator some Stevie Wonder tune Sugar Mags kinda in that order, many big gaps. They played a lot more than I’m Recalling.

Better off Dead at The 8X10 in Baltimore.

Yea, I think you’re right. Musta been ‘78 cuz I remember it as show opener, after some deliberation. My cassette was labeled with no more than ‘007’ because it was as slick as James Bond.

So, if I’m not mistaken, I had a tape of the original show. Killer sugar/scarlet/fire. I’m sure Dark Star Orchestra did it justice. Did they finish Sugar Mags at the end of the set? Or do I have this show confused with the other one? Oh, no, it couldn’t be! Now, wait a minute.... I did just come in from my shop where I was painting with inadequate ventilation. Could just be a Freelapse.

So, Eaton shows up and sings feel like a stranger and the last lyrics of the night are ‘such a long, long time to be gone and a short time to be there’. Classic stuff.

Damn! You guys got a unique show! Jerryband, great second set list, box a rain in the encore slot. Low spark! Musta been a great night. Any filler?
