sakada Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 playing to my point, FUN, i found a NY Times interview w/ Bob Weir regarding the release of the Europe '72 box set...i like this quote: "Ah, you know, we were having fun. One of the things about that run, we were playing to new faces. That's both challenging and rewarding. There's a fun factor involved with that, especially when you're lighting them up. And we were doing that with pretty good success." ~ Bob Weir~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Evangeline Posted September 28, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I can't help wondering why you bring this up here to say it shouldn't be discussed.

Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted September 28, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 On the subject of the Yankees and Red Sox I can strongly recommend "Summer of '49" by David Halberstam. This surely is something we can all get behind. Ted Williams, Jolting Joe, post-war bonus babies and old-school vets, first TV broadcasts...it was a time of the changing of the guard. One of the great pennant races. A little something for us all. Isn't that the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion, BUT...... The only constant is that there is an incrediable about of Quality GD music currently being performed by multiple bands! The variable that keeps changing is who brings out the"POT" and stirs ,only to slink off snickering !

One of the great pennant races. A little something for us all. Isn't that the point? Haven't heard of this but will definitely get it as soon as I can. I can't get enough of this stuff. Having never been able to watch the likes of Mays, Koufax, Dimaggio, Gibson and Williams, I'm always glued to stuff like this, whether it's books, movies or videos. My wife and I have been watching some incredible documentaries of late...two on both Williams and Mantle (HBO I think). Just watching the old game footage is pretty amazing for me. Matle's FURIOUS swings at the plate are unreal! I've never seen anyone get that much behind a swing. I had seen it in the films but not as clearly as in these shots, and the same goes for Williams gorgeous stroke. I love baseball but it just seemed so much more romantic back then, with places like Ebbets field and those fans in Brooklyn. I would also recommend Ken Burns' 10th inning, which is his last effort in his baseball story telling and it's really good too--that guy can tell a story.

When the "10th Inning" came out, it also got me watching innings 1-9, none of which I had seen (and recently available on Netflix streaming). Very worthwhile. The original documentary series was done in 1994, and there were a number of folks that it's great they interviewed while they were still with us.

Forum MVP anddave Posted September 29, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 How bout a DSO vs Furthur ball game with Gans at the mic.... ...Whoa that's a base-clearing ball off Lesh's big bass! ...Mattson's fastball is clocking in at .9c. Kadlecik will really have to keep his eyes open to hit that one. ...and it's a double play, score that one Chimenti to Becker to Russo ...Awesome diving catch by Rosen in center field ...Here comes Eaton to the plate. Is he pointing to the left field wall???? sounds like fun doesn't it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanAY Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Screw 'em both, as far as I'm concerned Now, I had some live Vassar Clements on at work the other day (thanks, Wolfgang's Vault!)...holy moley is that stuff AWESOME! It was recorded in 1976, but I swear it sounded like something I could have heard Greensky Bluegrass or String Cheese play YESTERDAY. It had such a modern sound to it...WOW!

Naw, just the start of last summer. I've got stuff that I've loaned out for a lot longer. I think our Bible reads "neither a borrower nor a lender be." That's honored about as much as the 10 Commandments. And it will come back to you fivefold. Or something like that. Go Cards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
