	12:10pm StringOFperils: *a bit
	12:10pm dan: I saw Furthur at MCU Park and the opening song was Phil's fine bass work "Shakedown Street". The guy I was with, an avid Dead Head, said he recognized the song just by the tuning.

	🛒 12:10pm dutchtheo: Howdy Uncle and the grateful shoppers
	12:11pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Unbroken Chain (Studio Acoustic Demo)" by "Gratef... "Unbroken Chain" -- a fine one. I listened to the studio version the other day.

	12:29pm zzz: ↳ dan @12:19 these setlists are so fun. do you recall who the bands / friends were?
	12:34pm TDK60: I just learned that Phil worked at KPFA in pre-Dead days.
	🛒 12:36pm DjLorraine: ↳ zzz @12:26 I think a member of crazy fingers worked at a local Whole Foods.
	12:38pm dan: Having never seen Phil Lesh and Friends and finding out that it’s a more flexible version of Ringos All Stars, I would have loved to have seen the lineup where Bill Payne was involved. I’m sure the bootlegs exist
	🛒 12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo Hinksterz
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @12:38 My last Phil and Friends outing included Mr. Payne.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Rev!
	12:39pm San Pedro Girl: Hi UM and HDTers! Arriving late. Digging this <333
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: SPG!
	12:41pm San Pedro Girl: Those ’71 Port Chester shows were epic.
	12:41pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:39 I only saw Bill Payne once with The Doobie Brothers when they opened for Chicago. I would love to see him with Little Feat one of these days, while they're still around.

	12:48pm Uncle Michael: coel!
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Uncle M
	🛒 12:51pm Ianincheshire: What comes across is that Phil Lesh was not just a member of The Grateful Dead but a fan too. Not inan egotistical way but in an appreciative and ..well..grateful way.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Ianincheshire @12:51 ❤️
	🛒 12:54pm Alvy Singer: Show is sounding great UM!
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Alvy Singer @12:54 Thanks, Alvy!
	🛒 12:57pm egould: Hi Uncle Michael. Tuning in from the 28th floor of the Flamingo Casino Hotel in fabulous Las Vegas, NV.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: egould! No jumping!
	1:02pm dan: ↳ Song: "Unbroken Chain" by "Jazz Is Dead (Alphonso Johnso... I heard that the guy behind the Wall of Sound was affiliated with the CIA. Any truth in that?
	1:03pm doctorjazz: Listening on NJ Transit, digging three sounds!
	🛒 1:04pm egould: Nancy's yogurt is good.
	🛒 1:05pm Brian in UK: Phil was a supporter of modern classical music over here. People like Havergal Brian.
	🛒 1:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Obviously - but significantly - it characterizes the Psychedelic experience that it breaks down boundaries. This was also true of the San Francisco culture of the whole era. Phil Lesh of course was the one into serious Academic (Classical) Musics & the Avant-garde. When he met Jerry Garcia - as an emissary of BlueGrass, Country & Folk Musics - it turned his head around how they carried narratives... & of course Phil was a ⦿Sun in ♓︎Pisces - the last sign representing reuniting with the sea of infinity - & that was how broad his horizons were - & the same for his sensitivities & compassions... born 1940 Year of the Metal 🐉Dragon - 🐉Dragons known for having larger than life personalities - complex with lives that have many twists...
	1:06pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ dan @1:02 To whom are you referring?
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @1:02 nope
	1:07pm dan: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:06 Owsley Stanley
	1:07pm βrian: Mom always told me I was ungrateful.
	🛒 1:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You mean Owsley ??
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @1:07 Kid Charlemagne 😉
	1:08pm doctorjazz: NY Penn Station, good soundtrack for my arrival!
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: ↳ doctorjazz @1:08 I hope you have 26 minutes!
	1:09pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ dan @1:07 Of many things to say about him, he never flipped.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:09 Did two years in the Greystone Hotel.
	1:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:09 Still gotta walk to the Record Fair a bit
	1:10pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:08 Was Owsley the inspiration behind Kid Charlemagne?
	1:11pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:09 Curious fellow, Owsley.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @1:10 Yes.
	1:13pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Truckin'" by "Grateful Dead" this entire show has been my favorite for many, many decades
	1:13pm doctorjazz: Go guys!
	1:13pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:12 Sounds like someone who should be the subject of a definitive documentary.
	1:14pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Truckin'" by "Grateful Dead" Phil was so strong during this period—ripping!🔥🔥🔥
	🛒 1:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' There's nothing wrong with Owsley a few billion less braincells wouldn't cure. ' - Garcia
	🛒 1:17pm Brian in UK: Lesh & modern British composers article. slippedisc.com...
	1:18pm dan: ↳ Song: "Truckin'" by "Grateful Dead" Does this instrumental section count as Drums/Space?
	1:21pm zzz: ↳ dan @1:18 no. different beast
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @1:18 Nah.
	🛒 1:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brian in UK @1:17 Thx - passing that along...
	1:22pm zzz: another great Silberman quote: "Drums/Space is my religion!"
	1:23pm TDK60: Lucas likes the jams.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: ↳ TDK60 @1:23 srsly
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Asheville Jon @1:13 I don't really know this show very well. I need to fix that.
	1:24pm Asheville Jon: whole show: www.youtube.com... highly recommended. way back in the day, i got a 2nd gen bettyboard of the show in my first batch of tapes.
	1:25pm zzz: ↳ Asheville Jon @1:24 love it @Asheville Jon (reminiscing about tape trading)
	1:25pm zzz: ↳ Song: "Truckin'" by "Grateful Dead" Godchaux sounding like keith jarrett on live/evil here
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: I hope this Truckin' brings me luck. Registration for the Unbound Gravel 2025 lottery opened at the top of the hour and I just submitted mine.
	1:26pm zzz: i always say it but Spanish Key from Bitches Brew has alays reminded me of a 73 dead jam
	1:26pm Asheville Jon: still have the tapes :) used to get a lot of great trades from a guy near buffalo.
	1:27pm zzz: ^'74 too
	🛒 1:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ zzz @1:26 Of course they were even on the same bill - not sure how many times (not many) @ the Fillmore. About which the Dead were very humble...
	1:28pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:24 there are also good copies on internet archive. i don't think the dead music was affected by the hack
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Asheville Jon @1:28 Oh, I have it...I just need to spend more time listening to it.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: ↳ zzz @1:26 "Spanish Jam" is based on motifs from "Sketches..."
	1:31pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:29 cool. it's a fine show through and through. box of rain is really nice, bird song is, well, it's just out there somewhere else. i dunno, i got realy spoiled by the show early on. great jams, great songs, etc, etc
	1:35pm zzz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:28 yeah. in the Miles autobiography he talks highly about Garcia, not so much some of the other rockers from the era (looking at that “non playing mother fucker” Steve Miller)
	1:37pm StringOFperils: ↳ zzz @1:35 OOh, that's even harsher than 'gangster of love'.
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: MTT = Michael Tilson Thomas
	🛒 1:37pm egould: ↳ Asheville Jon @1:24 When I moved to Venice, CA I rented a room in a house owned by some Deadheads. They were also heroin dealers and addicts. Another guy in the house was a Deadhead who was big time in the cassette trading thing. He did not do any drugs. Also renting in the house was a lovely girl from Spain who I fell in love with. But I was too chicken to follow her back to Madrid...
	1:37pm Asheville Jon: i went to vince welnick's first shows in ohio
	1:38pm Asheville Jon: ↳ egould @1:37 sounds like a wild time!
	1:38pm TDK60: Phil digs Henry Cowell; groovy.
	1:39pm johnk77: pne coliseum has ultra-reverberant room sound tough to mix in
	1:39pm zzz: ↳ Song: "Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, Vince Welnick, ... this was played the other day on Frow show (j jarnow), my first time hearing it really outstanding!
	1:39pm johnk77: shakedown street was front st. san rafael
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: john!
	1:40pm doctorjazz: OK, just got to the Record Fair, great, ahem, company for Truckin'! Catch the rest in the Archives!
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Screaming hippies at the symphony.
	🛒 1:40pm egould: ↳ johnk77 @1:39 Good place to see hockey too.
	1:41pm dan: ↳ Song: "Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, Vince Welnick, ... Concerto for LSD Trip in A Minor.
	1:41pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:40 Deadheads. Can’t take them anywhere. ;)
	1:44pm johnk77: ↳ egould @1:40 first coliseum i mixed front of house in as a relative newbie in 1977 i was shocked at built-in reverb!;<
	1:45pm dan: ↳ Song: "Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, Vince Welnick, ... This reminds me of the New Age Music that they sold in Nature Stores at the malls back in the 90s. Steven Halpern comes to mind.
	1:46pm βrian: ↳ egould @1:37 Pour moi, c'était une française. Bonjour, tristesse.
	1:47pm zzz: ↳ dan @1:18 from about the second-ish half of their concert playing career the dead would split their second set up with an all improv segment (Drums/Space). a drum solo form the 2 drummers would develop out of a usually jammed out song and then that would develop into increasingly psychedelic kind of sounds (see mikey hart’s beam), and that would segue into Space which was all out weirdness, and then that in turn would typically land on a mellow/sad garcia tune to bring the folks out of that part of the show, and then they’d wrap up with some party rock n roll songs. this is space.
	1:48pm StringOFperils: I love this.
	1:49pm zzz: ↳ dan @1:45 also a great time for garcia, lesh, and weir to flex their midi playing. some of the Space segments got very dark, my fav parts of many shows i’ve listened to
	🛒 1:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It is of course also Day of the Dead.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: "that in turn would typically land on a mellow/sad garcia tune to bring the folks out of that part of the show, and then they’d wrap up with some party rock n roll songs." Well....sometimes.
	1:50pm StringOFperils: Sounds like Olivier Messien
	🛒 1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:49 ...appropriate for Phil on all counts...
	1:50pm zzz: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:49 landing gear after they would freak out all the heads
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: ↳ StringOFperils @1:50 Or mall maturewave.
	1:51pm Asheville Jon: um - good luck with your ride registration
	1:51pm dan: ↳ Song: "Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, Vince Welnick, ... This doesn't sound like a Classical music piece, but more of a Soundcheck Jam.
	1:51pm zzz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:49 that’s right!!
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: ↳ zzz @1:50 Space> Miracle, Space>Other One, Space>Wheel (etc.)
	1:52pm StringOFperils: Malls are hugely damaging to the sensibilities. In fact, they're a product of damaged sensibilities.
	1:53pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @1:52 Ever since the Music and Book Stores closed, I have no reason to ever set foot in a mall.
	1:54pm zzz: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:51 for sure UM! yeah i’m thinking like morning dew, whatf rat, black peter, days between, stella blue. i guess i mean just one of the downer / death garcia songs coming in the post D/S segment before the show wrap up
	🛒 1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...is why Dawn of the Dead was in a Mall...
	1:56pm StringOFperils: ↳ dan @1:53 Largely the same reason that I never go outside. Unless I want to ride my bike on some circuitous route to nowhere aka home.
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: ↳ zzz @1:54 That's where those songs usually landed, but they rocked out of Space as often as not.
	🛒 1:59pm WR: ↳ Song: "Introducing Charles Mingus/Wednesday Night Prayer... Such a great tune, great recording. Mingus among us.
	2:04pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @1:56 At least there's still Barnes and Noble, although the one near me closed a few years ago and I still haven't gotten over it.
	2:04pm listener phat in lincoln: Well hello
	2:06pm TDK60: Did your uncle Jim know Lou Harrison?
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: phat!
	🛒 2:07pm egould: ↳ Song: "Box of Rain" by "Kurt Vile and the Violators (fea... Well looks like I have some music listening homework for the weekend. Thanks for this one, UM.
	2:08pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Box of Rain" by "Kurt Vile and the Violators (fea... I’ve not heard this version until now. Nice!!
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: ↳ TDK60 @2:06 I'm sure he did. Other Minds featured Lou's music.
	2:08pm zzz: ↳ Song: "Box of Rain" by "Kurt Vile and the Violators (fea... KV!! this is a really excellent comp
	2:08pm San Pedro Girl: J!!!
	2:08pm coelacanth∅: funny it seems to me Kurt sounding slightly like Garcia here!
	2:09pm listener phat in lincoln: I'm peaking my head out.
	2:09pm dan: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:08 I was thinking the same thing.
	2:10pm johnk77: i had forgotten what a wild life robert hunter had https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2019-09-24/robert-hunter-grateful-dead-dies-obiturary
	2:10pm StringOFperils: ↳ dan @2:04 Our version of B&N is probably Indigo, but it's marketing more candles, throw pillows and 'popular titles' than what it once did. I do have one last remaindered/used outlet that I frequent. It's like the old man's house in the animated feature 'UP': the last old little building on a street downtown, hunkered down at the feet of 70-story glass condo towers. BMV books and me, we're slowly sinking beneath the waves together.
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: ↳ San Pedro Girl @2:08 I had a shot at meeting K this summer but a different death meant that Dinosaur Jr. had to cancel the event I was backstage at.
	2:11pm zzz: i think i like the Bonnie Prince Billy version of Rubin and Cherise from DotD comp more than the original Garcia 😳
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:10 Meet "J" (not "K").
	2:12pm johnk77: the top photo in the hunter obit is inside club front on shakedown st. san rafael, marin county, california
	2:14pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @2:10 The B&N I go to now has more stationery stuff, which is ironic considering we're in the digital age. It's where I still buy my "Images Of America" books to add to my collection.
	🛒 2:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Box of Rain' of course written with Robert Hunter when Phil's own father was terminally ill.
	2:15pm StringOFperils: ↳ dan @2:14 The upside is that the new people won't have any books to burn at this rate. They can just cut to the chase and fry each other.
	2:16pm StringOFperils: ↳ StringOFperils @2:15 ...it's just a box of rain. I don't know who put it there.
	🛒 2:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: O' Brave New World.
	2:20pm dan: ↳ Song: "Phil Lesh conducting the Berkeley Symphony Orches... I wonder why the Grateful Dead never did a one night only show with an orchestra.
	2:22pm Asheville Jon: anyone know where a listenable copy of this can be heard? www.pacificaradioarchives.org...
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Asheville Jon @2:22 I'll poke around.
	2:25pm Asheville Jon: thanks um. my first show, the whole 'we want phil' chant started, and he says "who do you think's playing bass, bernardo moreno?". been intrigued by that ever since
	🛒 2:28pm Brian in UK: Nice work, Uncle.
	2:30pm listener phat in lincoln: I'm glad I got back into The Dead. I gave up on them in the early 90s (mostly because of their big fans) but came back around.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: John Molo is the drummer on that Phil & Friend's album.
	2:32pm San Pedro Girl: Thank you, UM. I’ll have to go to the archives to listen to the rest.
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: ↳ listener phat in lincoln @2:30 I feel ya.
	2:34pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:32 I always thought that John Molo and Tris Imboden from Chicago and Kenny Loggins were doppleganger drummers.
	2:34pm Asheville Jon: ↳ listener phat in lincoln @2:30 i hear ya on that. i stopped seeing them after spring tour 92. couldn't handle it anymore. got way into Zappa after that. took many years for me to listen to the dead after that. never got into the whole 'post garcia' incarnations and spin-offs of the dead though.
	2:35pm zzz: thx UM for the great Lesh tribute! RIP hopping on train to head to the record fair, peace people!
	2:35pm Asheville Jon: happy hunting zzz
	2:41pm StringOFperils: ↳ zzz @2:35 Happy hunting! I'm envious. >:
	2:44pm dan: ↳ Song: "Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Bruce Hornsby & Band/Turn On... Pluton sounds like the Star Trek style retelling of the Greek Myths.
	2:47pm dan: ↳ Asheville Jon @2:34 I think using John Mayer as the new Jerry Garcia in the current Dead and Company is unforgivable. Mayer sounds nothing like Garcia and he's a crappy singer as well.
	2:50pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad" by "Grateful Dead" hell yeah for the wall of sound!
	2:50pm rw: Beautiful. Thank you Uncle Michael.
	2:51pm Asheville Jon: ↳ dan @2:47 doesnt mayer hold some kind of owning interest in dead & co?
	2:51pm ?: ↳ dan @2:47 why would you want him to sound like Jerry ?
	🛒 2:52pm bradford: Thanks Uncle Michael for a such a well-crafted tribute.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: I'd love to see one of the shows with Sturgill Simpson on lead guitar.
	🛒 2:52pm egould: ↳ dan @2:47 He should cut off part of his middle finger.
	🛒 2:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dan @2:47 Maybe something like Stéphane Grappelli playing with two Gittarists - so the issue of who replaces Django is just circumvented...
	2:53pm dan: ↳ @2:51 To recreate the music effectively. John Kadelcik in Dark Star Orchestra and Furthur sounded just like Garcia. I saw the Furthur show as I stated earlier and I thought that Jerry was back from the dead.
	2:54pm dan: ↳ Asheville Jon @2:51 Never heard that before.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "Box of Rain" by "Grateful Dead" I was at this show.
	2:55pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:54 Was this the Pay-Per-View show that Clarence Clemmons showed up at?
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @2:55 nope
	🛒 2:56pm Alvy Singer: Wonderful tribute today UM! Thank you.
	2:57pm dan: Great tribute to Phil Lesh UM
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ egould @2:52 hahaha
	🛒 2:59pm egould: Thank you UM. Interesting show.
	🛒 2:59pm listener 126464: That was special. Thank you, Uncle Michael.
	🛒 3:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ UM ~
	3:00pm StringOFperils: Well-remembered to the world. Thanks, UM. >> Don't neglect your vote folks. One chance. All the best!
	3:00pm bills: thank you for the great show

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from November 1, 2024

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	12:38pm dan: Having never seen Phil Lesh and Friends and finding out that it’s a more flexible version of Ringos All Stars, I would have loved to have seen the lineup where Bill Payne was involved. I’m sure the bootlegs exist
	🛒 12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo Hinksterz

	🛒 1:05pm Brian in UK: Phil was a supporter of modern classical music over here. People like Havergal Brian.
	🛒 1:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Obviously - but significantly - it characterizes the Psychedelic experience that it breaks down boundaries. This was also true of the San Francisco culture of the whole era. Phil Lesh of course was the one into serious Academic (Classical) Musics & the Avant-garde. When he met Jerry Garcia - as an emissary of BlueGrass, Country & Folk Musics - it turned his head around how they carried narratives... & of course Phil was a ⦿Sun in ♓︎Pisces - the last sign representing reuniting with the sea of infinity - & that was how broad his horizons were - & the same for his sensitivities & compassions... born 1940 Year of the Metal 🐉Dragon - 🐉Dragons known for having larger than life personalities - complex with lives that have many twists...

	1:09pm Uncle Michael: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:09 Did two years in the Greystone Hotel.
	1:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:09 Still gotta walk to the Record Fair a bit
	1:10pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:08 Was Owsley the inspiration behind Kid Charlemagne?

	1:13pm doctorjazz: Go guys!
	1:13pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:12 Sounds like someone who should be the subject of a definitive documentary.
	1:14pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Truckin'" by "Grateful Dead" Phil was so strong during this period—ripping!🔥🔥🔥
	🛒 1:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' There's nothing wrong with Owsley a few billion less braincells wouldn't cure. ' - Garcia

	1:21pm zzz: ↳ dan @1:18 no. different beast
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @1:18 Nah.
	🛒 1:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brian in UK @1:17 Thx - passing that along...
	1:22pm zzz: another great Silberman quote: "Drums/Space is my religion!"
	1:23pm TDK60: Lucas likes the jams.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: ↳ TDK60 @1:23 srsly
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Asheville Jon @1:13 I don't really know this show very well. I need to fix that.
	1:24pm Asheville Jon: whole show: www.youtube.com... highly recommended. way back in the day, i got a 2nd gen bettyboard of the show in my first batch of tapes.
	1:25pm zzz: ↳ Asheville Jon @1:24 love it @Asheville Jon (reminiscing about tape trading)
	1:25pm zzz: ↳ Song: "Truckin'" by "Grateful Dead" Godchaux sounding like keith jarrett on live/evil here

	1:26pm Asheville Jon: still have the tapes :) used to get a lot of great trades from a guy near buffalo.
	1:27pm zzz: ^'74 too
	🛒 1:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ zzz @1:26 Of course they were even on the same bill - not sure how many times (not many) @ the Fillmore. About which the Dead were very humble...
	1:28pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:24 there are also good copies on internet archive. i don't think the dead music was affected by the hack
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Asheville Jon @1:28 Oh, I have it...I just need to spend more time listening to it.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: ↳ zzz @1:26 "Spanish Jam" is based on motifs from "Sketches..."
	1:31pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:29 cool. it's a fine show through and through. box of rain is really nice, bird song is, well, it's just out there somewhere else. i dunno, i got realy spoiled by the show early on. great jams, great songs, etc, etc
	1:35pm zzz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:28 yeah. in the Miles autobiography he talks highly about Garcia, not so much some of the other rockers from the era (looking at that “non playing mother fucker” Steve Miller)
	1:37pm StringOFperils: ↳ zzz @1:35 OOh, that's even harsher than 'gangster of love'.
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: MTT = Michael Tilson Thomas
	🛒 1:37pm egould: ↳ Asheville Jon @1:24 When I moved to Venice, CA I rented a room in a house owned by some Deadheads. They were also heroin dealers and addicts. Another guy in the house was a Deadhead who was big time in the cassette trading thing. He did not do any drugs. Also renting in the house was a lovely girl from Spain who I fell in love with. But I was too chicken to follow her back to Madrid...
	1:37pm Asheville Jon: i went to vince welnick's first shows in ohio
	1:38pm Asheville Jon: ↳ egould @1:37 sounds like a wild time!
	1:38pm TDK60: Phil digs Henry Cowell; groovy.
	1:39pm johnk77: pne coliseum has ultra-reverberant room sound tough to mix in
	1:39pm zzz: ↳ Song: "Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, Vince Welnick, ... this was played the other day on Frow show (j jarnow), my first time hearing it really outstanding!

	1:40pm Uncle Michael: john!
	1:40pm doctorjazz: OK, just got to the Record Fair, great, ahem, company for Truckin'! Catch the rest in the Archives!
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Screaming hippies at the symphony.
	🛒 1:40pm egould: ↳ johnk77 @1:39 Good place to see hockey too.
	1:41pm dan: ↳ Song: "Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, Vince Welnick, ... Concerto for LSD Trip in A Minor.
	1:41pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:40 Deadheads. Can’t take them anywhere. ;)
	1:44pm johnk77: ↳ egould @1:40 first coliseum i mixed front of house in as a relative newbie in 1977 i was shocked at built-in reverb!;<
	1:45pm dan: ↳ Song: "Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, Vince Welnick, ... This reminds me of the New Age Music that they sold in Nature Stores at the malls back in the 90s. Steven Halpern comes to mind.
	1:46pm βrian: ↳ egould @1:37 Pour moi, c'était une française. Bonjour, tristesse.
	1:47pm zzz: ↳ dan @1:18 from about the second-ish half of their concert playing career the dead would split their second set up with an all improv segment (Drums/Space). a drum solo form the 2 drummers would develop out of a usually jammed out song and then that would develop into increasingly psychedelic kind of sounds (see mikey hart’s beam), and that would segue into Space which was all out weirdness, and then that in turn would typically land on a mellow/sad garcia tune to bring the folks out of that part of the show, and then they’d wrap up with some party rock n roll songs. this is space.
	1:48pm StringOFperils: I love this.
	1:49pm zzz: ↳ dan @1:45 also a great time for garcia, lesh, and weir to flex their midi playing. some of the Space segments got very dark, my fav parts of many shows i’ve listened to
	🛒 1:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It is of course also Day of the Dead.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: "that in turn would typically land on a mellow/sad garcia tune to bring the folks out of that part of the show, and then they’d wrap up with some party rock n roll songs." Well....sometimes.
	1:50pm StringOFperils: Sounds like Olivier Messien
	🛒 1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:49 ...appropriate for Phil on all counts...
	1:50pm zzz: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:49 landing gear after they would freak out all the heads
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: ↳ StringOFperils @1:50 Or mall maturewave.
	1:51pm Asheville Jon: um - good luck with your ride registration
	1:51pm dan: ↳ Song: "Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, Vince Welnick, ... This doesn't sound like a Classical music piece, but more of a Soundcheck Jam.
	1:51pm zzz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:49 that’s right!!
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: ↳ zzz @1:50 Space> Miracle, Space>Other One, Space>Wheel (etc.)
	1:52pm StringOFperils: Malls are hugely damaging to the sensibilities. In fact, they're a product of damaged sensibilities.
	1:53pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @1:52 Ever since the Music and Book Stores closed, I have no reason to ever set foot in a mall.
	1:54pm zzz: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:51 for sure UM! yeah i’m thinking like morning dew, whatf rat, black peter, days between, stella blue. i guess i mean just one of the downer / death garcia songs coming in the post D/S segment before the show wrap up
	🛒 1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...is why Dawn of the Dead was in a Mall...
	1:56pm StringOFperils: ↳ dan @1:53 Largely the same reason that I never go outside. Unless I want to ride my bike on some circuitous route to nowhere aka home.
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: ↳ zzz @1:54 That's where those songs usually landed, but they rocked out of Space as often as not.
	🛒 1:59pm WR: ↳ Song: "Introducing Charles Mingus/Wednesday Night Prayer... Such a great tune, great recording. Mingus among us.
	2:04pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @1:56 At least there's still Barnes and Noble, although the one near me closed a few years ago and I still haven't gotten over it.
	2:04pm listener phat in lincoln: Well hello
	2:06pm TDK60: Did your uncle Jim know Lou Harrison?
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: phat!
	🛒 2:07pm egould: ↳ Song: "Box of Rain" by "Kurt Vile and the Violators (fea... Well looks like I have some music listening homework for the weekend. Thanks for this one, UM.
	2:08pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Box of Rain" by "Kurt Vile and the Violators (fea... I’ve not heard this version until now. Nice!!
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: ↳ TDK60 @2:06 I'm sure he did. Other Minds featured Lou's music.
	2:08pm zzz: ↳ Song: "Box of Rain" by "Kurt Vile and the Violators (fea... KV!! this is a really excellent comp
	2:08pm San Pedro Girl: J!!!
	2:08pm coelacanth∅: funny it seems to me Kurt sounding slightly like Garcia here!
	2:09pm listener phat in lincoln: I'm peaking my head out.
	2:09pm dan: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:08 I was thinking the same thing.
	2:10pm johnk77: i had forgotten what a wild life robert hunter had https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2019-09-24/robert-hunter-grateful-dead-dies-obiturary
	2:10pm StringOFperils: ↳ dan @2:04 Our version of B&N is probably Indigo, but it's marketing more candles, throw pillows and 'popular titles' than what it once did. I do have one last remaindered/used outlet that I frequent. It's like the old man's house in the animated feature 'UP': the last old little building on a street downtown, hunkered down at the feet of 70-story glass condo towers. BMV books and me, we're slowly sinking beneath the waves together.
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: ↳ San Pedro Girl @2:08 I had a shot at meeting K this summer but a different death meant that Dinosaur Jr. had to cancel the event I was backstage at.
	2:11pm zzz: i think i like the Bonnie Prince Billy version of Rubin and Cherise from DotD comp more than the original Garcia 😳
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:10 Meet "J" (not "K").
	2:12pm johnk77: the top photo in the hunter obit is inside club front on shakedown st. san rafael, marin county, california
	2:14pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @2:10 The B&N I go to now has more stationery stuff, which is ironic considering we're in the digital age. It's where I still buy my "Images Of America" books to add to my collection.
	🛒 2:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Box of Rain' of course written with Robert Hunter when Phil's own father was terminally ill.
	2:15pm StringOFperils: ↳ dan @2:14 The upside is that the new people won't have any books to burn at this rate. They can just cut to the chase and fry each other.
	2:16pm StringOFperils: ↳ StringOFperils @2:15 ...it's just a box of rain. I don't know who put it there.
	🛒 2:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: O' Brave New World.
	2:20pm dan: ↳ Song: "Phil Lesh conducting the Berkeley Symphony Orches... I wonder why the Grateful Dead never did a one night only show with an orchestra.
	2:22pm Asheville Jon: anyone know where a listenable copy of this can be heard? www.pacificaradioarchives.org...
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Asheville Jon @2:22 I'll poke around.
	2:25pm Asheville Jon: thanks um. my first show, the whole 'we want phil' chant started, and he says "who do you think's playing bass, bernardo moreno?". been intrigued by that ever since
	🛒 2:28pm Brian in UK: Nice work, Uncle.
	2:30pm listener phat in lincoln: I'm glad I got back into The Dead. I gave up on them in the early 90s (mostly because of their big fans) but came back around.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: John Molo is the drummer on that Phil & Friend's album.
	2:32pm San Pedro Girl: Thank you, UM. I’ll have to go to the archives to listen to the rest.
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: ↳ listener phat in lincoln @2:30 I feel ya.
	2:34pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:32 I always thought that John Molo and Tris Imboden from Chicago and Kenny Loggins were doppleganger drummers.
	2:34pm Asheville Jon: ↳ listener phat in lincoln @2:30 i hear ya on that. i stopped seeing them after spring tour 92. couldn't handle it anymore. got way into Zappa after that. took many years for me to listen to the dead after that. never got into the whole 'post garcia' incarnations and spin-offs of the dead though.
	2:35pm zzz: thx UM for the great Lesh tribute! RIP hopping on train to head to the record fair, peace people!
	2:35pm Asheville Jon: happy hunting zzz
	2:41pm StringOFperils: ↳ zzz @2:35 Happy hunting! I'm envious. >:
	2:44pm dan: ↳ Song: "Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Bruce Hornsby & Band/Turn On... Pluton sounds like the Star Trek style retelling of the Greek Myths.
	2:47pm dan: ↳ Asheville Jon @2:34 I think using John Mayer as the new Jerry Garcia in the current Dead and Company is unforgivable. Mayer sounds nothing like Garcia and he's a crappy singer as well.
	2:50pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad" by "Grateful Dead" hell yeah for the wall of sound!
	2:50pm rw: Beautiful. Thank you Uncle Michael.
	2:51pm Asheville Jon: ↳ dan @2:47 doesnt mayer hold some kind of owning interest in dead & co?
	2:51pm ?: ↳ dan @2:47 why would you want him to sound like Jerry ?
	🛒 2:52pm bradford: Thanks Uncle Michael for a such a well-crafted tribute.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: I'd love to see one of the shows with Sturgill Simpson on lead guitar.
	🛒 2:52pm egould: ↳ dan @2:47 He should cut off part of his middle finger.
	🛒 2:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dan @2:47 Maybe something like Stéphane Grappelli playing with two Gittarists - so the issue of who replaces Django is just circumvented...
	2:53pm dan: ↳ @2:51 To recreate the music effectively. John Kadelcik in Dark Star Orchestra and Furthur sounded just like Garcia. I saw the Furthur show as I stated earlier and I thought that Jerry was back from the dead.
	2:54pm dan: ↳ Asheville Jon @2:51 Never heard that before.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "Box of Rain" by "Grateful Dead" I was at this show.
	2:55pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:54 Was this the Pay-Per-View show that Clarence Clemmons showed up at?
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @2:55 nope
	🛒 2:56pm Alvy Singer: Wonderful tribute today UM! Thank you.
