    being limited to saying thank you is a pretty good place to be, me thinks. I'm glad you liked the vids. de nada. anyways, when you have way too much free time on your hands, go to youtube.com do a search for just about anything you are interested in... you will be pleasantly (and sometimes unpleasantly) surprised at what is there. I searched for Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia, etc etc. like google, the search techniques include putting things in " " or using a +Garcia or somestuff like that, but since people are putting new stuff up all the time, you really never know what you will find. one cool feature, if you find a VDO you like, you can look at all the VDOs by that user. example, the same guy who put up the vid of jerry ordering hotdogs put up a few more dead related stuff... sharing was always what this community was all about. peace.

    thanks!
    like all my other posts, i am limited to saying 'thank you!' to you who put up the videos etc-- there's no way i would have found any of this stuff on my own- i have never been to youtube, and the only reason i learned to download songs is for my weekly dip in the taper's section well. so, my pattern of gratitude continues- lucky me-- thanks, guys- very much- caroline

    Questions?
    fillmore: The police (not The Police) had everyone go to the south/west bound side of I-24, which is the side the festival is on. We were diverted back to mile marker 127 (exits share the mile marker ID) which was about 14 - 16 miles from the venue. We made it in and were set up in about 3 hours compared to the approx. same situation in 2003 which took over 10 hours. Compare that to the experience at a "nearby" venue called Nissan Pavilion which takes over 4 hours to get into (normally an 1.5 hour drive) and several more, at least, to get out and I'd give the Tennessee locals fairly high grades for dealing with the situation @ Bonnaroo. Leadbelly: The conflicts @ Bonnaroo can really be difficult, for sure. This year I was more prepared to make the difficult decisions because I had already seen Keller Williams Incident @ Vegoose in October and the overwhelming vote in our camp was for Super Jam so I was in good company either way the Super Jam show went, which it went AMAZING!!! I have to say Super Jam was the best show I've seen in decades, in that genre of blues/psychedelic/skull fucking music!!! But I also knew it was probably my last chance to see SCI before Bill Nershi leaves the band. I really wished I could be in two places at once, for sure. Having seen Super Jam on Friday night, I was less worried about missing anyone that JPJ appeared with, EXCEPT Bob Weir, which my Outer World surveillance team informed me did not happen. I did catch an encore of "Dazed and Confused", with JPJ during Ben Harper's show, which was the best 10 mins. of his stand alone show. Clearly (and understandably) Ben was drained by the previous night's performance and subsequent practice sessions required for such a once in a lifetime show, as Super Jam. As far as The Lips - vs - Gov' Mule that was a bit tougher. I've seen Warren at least a half dozen times with Phil Lesh and once with The Allman Brothers Band @ Bonnaroo 2003 but I missed The Lips epic show that year @ Bonnaroo. The entire next day I had to hear from my son and nephew (both whom I told to go see these guys) what a great show they had seen (and I had missed). I did get a chance to redeem myself in 2005 when I saw an excellent Lips show @ All Good Festival but the weather sucked and I still wasn't satisfied. This year's show surpassed my every expectation! We blew off The Police's good but not great set to get up close for a show my whole family could feel coming, for daze! We were about 20 feet in front of the sound board directly center of the stage. Wayne and Co. historically set up their own equipment (which is way cool) and during some banter with fans they indicated they may start the show early. About 11 pm Wayne came out and said that they couldn't start early, in respect to other bands playing and what not (which was tongue in cheek BS) but they would do a "sound check" which led into a full fledged, sonic assault in the form of "War Pigs" complete with lasers, smoke and most importantly great music. It was the best cover of that song I've ever heard and it was apparent they were very tight! Then they went about their business as if nothing happened while 20,000 avid fans were ecstatic! The show they put on, which started shortly before midnight and lasted until about 3 am was incredible. They now have a full time drummer and their sound has gotten back to where it was several years ago when they were a 4 member band. The entire time this was going on, I knew I was missing another great show and another appearance by JPJ and Bob Weir. I did catch the end of Gov' Mule's show and an excellent "That's What Love Will Make You Do" which was way cool. And in typical Bonnaroo fashion for me, I was too drained to catch the DJ Shadow show which may have been the best of the weekend, according to my crack team of Other Worldly Experiences Surveillance and Reporting (they take over after 3 am due to Union issues). That in mind, I begin training for Bonnaroo 2008 next month. As far as what it takes to get 25 years of marital bliss under your belts, I can say it has been a bit of good luck in combination with hard work that has made our formula work. During a tough time for us, my step father gave us both these words of wisdom that have helped: Don't think of a relationship as a 50% - 50% scenario but rather 100% - 100%, that way you're always covered. If you end up with anything left over, you can always put it under your mattress. And if you follow that idea, you'll have a lot of good stuff going on top of the mattress as well, which also helps a whole bunch :) The Dude Abides!

lol....your memory serves you well, RL. There was most certainly a picture of a very attractive African woman tastelessly connected to a poorly executed fishing expedition.Dipshits. I don't think Antiques Roadshow would be interested though:-)

Who else listens on Spotify? My friend and I have been noticing something very strange over the past couple of months. From time to time, a random track or two off of a certain show will be replaced by a track of the same song from a completely different show and usually era. The quality will be much less, the track is unmixed, or suddenly Brent joins the band in 1977. The switched track usually goes away within a day and goes back to normal. On one occasion the same track switched to two different versions in the same day. I've noticed that the switch usually only takes place on the computer app. On my phone I was able to pull up the original at the same time. The switch only happened on my phone one time. Has anyone else noticed this? It is becoming more and more frequent. I am enjoying listening to the replacement versions knowing that some sneaky Spotify employee must have chosen them.

Hey! I do listen to Spotify also, on the computer all day at work. I have not noticed it myself. But, I will keep a listen and report back if I also see songs swap. Might be that I'm zoning on work and just not picking it up. That is certainly odd behavior. I could see a theory of it being "close enough" but computers don't do close enough unless explicitly programmed to do so. Anyways, not much help for you, but if I do see it, I'll be sure to hop back on and at least give you some support! Peace, -Dave

I forgot to mention in my original post: What makes it even weirder is that the replaced versions are usually always from shows that are not on Spotify, shows that have not been professionally mastered. On a few occasions they were versions that I instantly recognized from shows that I have downloaded from Archive.org. The tracks are often similar in length but not always. My theory is that a Spotify employee that has access to their file system (must be someone high up) is switching them. But this idea becomes tricky because of the timeliness of the switches. The songs often go back to normal within a day. This person would have to be doing this all the time, unless they somehow have it automatically programmed. There is ONE track that has been switched for a while and IS switched for me RIGHT NOW if anyone wants to check: The album '30 trips around the sun', Shakedown Street from Cornell 5/16/81 is playing as Shakedown Street from 12/31/81, a version I know well. The labels still say Cornell 5/16/81. This is starting to drive me crazy, as the switches often happen at very timely times..... I have searched the internet and found no posts or articles about such phenomena so I finally decided to make some posts on dead.net. Whatever this plot is I commend you because it is working.. Thanks, Josh

Spotify is under some heat for other "weird" things employees are doing, like uploading their own music as a bunch of different artists nobody has heard of to flesh out the product. They don't exist, at all, except in Spotify. Or using computer generated music to do the same so they don't even have to make the songs. This was in the early days when they were still growing but the truth of it is coming out. I don't guess it hurts anything but it's deceptive.
