Blasphemy^

Blasphemeres burn in hell lisyening to top 40 whilst Satan sticks his fingernails up their bum hole. Just sayin...

Somewhere in NY in '74, 2nd song in the first set. Killer version of Loser

'Come to daddy, on an inside straight'
 
I'm partial to buffalo '79.....Keith g. on the keys
Oh yeah, and since I'm three sierra Nevadas in, I gotta get this off my chest...
Jam bands like "Moe" and "The disco biscuits" etc...pale in comparison to some of the older ones...huge, annoying phony scene...played the fuck out!! Fuck a festival....$200 to get in, blow me!
Also, Dubstep compared to the old rave house, trance, jungle from the nineties...absolute, overproduced garbage!!
whomp waa waa waa waa! Fuck you! thank you very much!
It's all corporate, phony garbage now...not all of it!! But most of it, sorry,
Yeah, I'm old and I don't get it!!!
Okaaaay, kids....

Yea but they dabble all over the place. Jerrys base might be in country, but songs like cream puff war, dark star, the other one, china cat, scarlet begonias, shakedown st, easy wind, etc digress pretty far i'd say..

I never knew Bill Walton was a dead head though
 
really? he's seen like 300 something shows.

he still shows up at ratdog, further, etc shows on the regular.

it would suck to get stuck behind that tall motherfucker at a show.
 
actually, wiki says more like 650 shows

Walton is a well-known fan of the Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers Band, Neil Young, Phish, and Bob Dylan. He attended more than 650[15] Grateful Dead concerts, including traveling with the band to Egypt for its famous 1978 performance before the Pyramids (joining the band on drums),[16] quotes Dead lyrics in TV and radio interviews. To fellow Deadheads, Walton is fondly known as "Grateful Red" and the "Big Red Deadhead" and "World's Tallest Deadhead". In the video for "Touch of Grey", Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart is wearing a Celtics jacket that was given to him by Walton. In 2001, Bill Walton was inducted into The Grateful Dead Hall of Honor.

senior year of college i wrote a book report on bill walton's autobiography

the book had to be written by anyone in sports

it was a pretty sweet read, report had to be like 10 pages, i ended up writing like 17

iirc he first met the band i think at portland '74

the band sent roadies out to go tell him to sit down, and than got invited backstage
 
tried reading it, bookmarking it for tomorrow when im not so sleepy. from what i read sounds really interesting. allways interested in the dead...
