One my favorite Vince moments--too bad it was jarringly wrecked as it crashed into Easy Answers. They really should have moved directly into Days.

That song was Weir's call sakada because it was Weir's song--them's the rules. I remember a Calpo show where Bob had chosen his song (a new one) in the fist set and the band was tuning/warming it up when Mickey at first and then Billy started to shake their heads and wave their drumsticks in protest of the song chosen--it was a drums boycott for a couple minues there. Of course, Bobby was undeterred and Picasso Moon was finally played. "{which would be a better song sans SO many "eeeeasy aaanswers" bein' sung}...." That song probably would have been better without the chorus, kind of like Eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ammagamalin Crew Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I remember being in Philadelphia for those Sept 1993 shows and during the day the radio DJ played a dark star saying it had been twenty years since the dead had played it at the sprectrum, so he played it on the radio that day and it was played that night by the band. You don't radio coverage like that in Cincinnati. That was the last set of shows I drove 12 hours solo to see, gotta bring the hometown crew.

Forum MVP Dstone5553 Posted November 25, 2009 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 "you don't got to say a word if you got dick to say..." This is a good example of the brilliance of this song. For any of us who hold lyrics as at least somewhat important in music that is--and I think it's pretty clear that this was one of the contributions (lyric wise) of one Bob Weir, but I'd love someone to ask him or Hunter just to be sure. But of course good lyrics are different to every set of ears who hears them. To each their own and for anyone who likes the song Easy Answers--god bless you. And I mean that.

That is a really good one--that was the only time they did that and there is an energy to that mns>easy answers>mns that can't be denied. I recall seeing an extremely well played and rocked out version in Alabama in the post-space slot as well--which I think was easily the best one they did from the versions I have heard. I just think that Bob Weir should never be allowed anywhere near the lyric process of any song. I think all anyone needs to know regarding Mr. Weir's penchant for horrendous, god awful lyrics is the 'upgrade' he tried to make with the lyrics of B T Wind in 1990--and we wonder why Barlow remained good friends with him but refused to work with him on songs anymore (way before that incident). Barlow was hanging out with Weir helping him with Salt Lake City before the debut in '95 though and I know we are all appreciative of that--some of us more than others. What was his famous line? "He treats me like a Tijuana whore?" (It was not permanent though as Barlow helped Weir with his song 'Welcome to the World' around '99. As an aside I think Barlow/Mydland would have been quite the force in the modern GD history books, had Brent lived. Many people talked about the how incredible some of the songs that never got a chance to be heard were. I don't think those two would have been stopped. But of course, this is coming from someone who LIKED the lyrics to Gentlemen Start Your Engines so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent and Barlow would come to my buddys hole in the wall studio in Stinson to work on new tunes...I'll see if he has any material left from those days...right around 88' if my memory serves me well...good times...

Healy would say things like, "these current songs made the last ones (Blow Away, Little Light, I will take U Home, We Can Run) look like child's play." So don't tease me with that shit Jon--give me a break, your friend does not have any of those songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
