Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

Great station, unkle sam!Are you aware that they are once more "broadcasting" on the 'net? If not, take a look; still great music, being put out by Lee Arnold. I can't descibe the joy I felt when I re-discovered them! A rare medium well done... Good to know you got shoes to wear when you find the floor.

any music from this early trip band always take me back to the early 70's. one day in 1971 I decided to walk up to the local head shop (which was really small, had a pinball machine) and hang out. I was truly on a mission that day, to "trip out". After ingesting several window panes, I started the 3 mile walk to the head shop. Along the way, the pane took hold, and soon I was lost wandering the streets and sidewalks. I was barefooted and I remember saying to my self, "why are there so many cracks and breaks in the sidewalks?" As everything started to shift into chaos, I was approaced by an aquaintence from high school who could see I was having a rough time. He and his lovely girl friend grabbed me up, took me to there house, feed me chicken soup and put on the first Jade Warrior album. It was so beautiful, the soundscapes that those guys could paint. Took me to the local nursery and we walked around for seemed like hours just looking at the beautiful flowers, before I knew it, I was past peaked, and slowly floating back to this reality. To this day, I will always flashback to that day when ever I here Jade Warrior.Captain Beyond, sufficently breathless, or anything from the first self titled lp, dancing madly backwards, armworth, all flashback music. But sufficently breathless puts me right back in 73, studying for a college exam, it came on the radio, worj, first time it had been played and heard. Wow, latin american space rock, it was awesome. Still play the old lp now and again, especially if I want to get back there. Of course this was all before the first time I ever heard the dead, but that's another story.

"Help I'm a Rock" and James Brown "Payback" for Missy Motown, our personal Motorcycle Irene.

I forgot (don't know how) Quicksilver Messenger Service Who, where, when, how Do You Love live on Happy trails album.

Just listened to Blue Cheer's Summertime Blues &Murder In My Heart For The Judge by Moby Grape & love "The Commander" Uh-oh, I'm Lost in the ozone, again!

Anyone remember Blue Cheer's version of "Summertime Blues", or "Kick out the Judge" by MC5. Metalheads should know where it all started. Country guy miself, "Commander Cody and his lost planet airman" still make me trip a lot. NRPS cover of the Stones "DeadFlowers" live is always one of my best. Doors "Strange Days" album and Cream live tracks from Fillmore. "Throught the grape wine" live from CCR.Let's the Good old time go FURTHER!

Living in Casper, Mendocino County, on the Lost Coast, in a commune. Making the 3 mile trek down the hill, across PCH, down to the ocean, to watch the sun set. Comes a time when you're tripping Comes a time when you settle down. This old world is spinnin' round It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down There comes a time There comes a time Oh-ho and I want to know, where does the time go?

Almost all the songs everybody talks about in these pages remember me great time. Hooked by the first album "Morning Dew".Our (civil) wedding tape feature Sugar Magnolia for the "in", It must have been the roses "during" and Trucking for the "out". Our song gonna stay forever "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young. Still love you Marjelaine xxxxxx.

Almost anything by Pink Floyd brings back instant memories of college sillyciben gatherings. They had a way of building intensity, followed by high tempo harsh "reality" sounds, then would bring you back with wonderfully mellow sounds, such as San Tropez.For some reason, while they liked the Dead, the group I hung with then never wanted them as a soundtrack, but wanted something more electronic. Another instant flashback for me is the Doors Soft Parade. The opening day of The Wall was the last time I took a hit (courtesy of a Dead concert the previous weekend), and after the movie, I took a swim by myself with that album blaring. While the Doors may be the antithesis of the Dead, that album is still a desert island choice for me.

always flashes me out to outdoor shows, especially at the Shoreline amphitheater...warm nights, dancing on happy legs, whatever the previous song was...and then the notes started and I asked myself, "Is it Aiko? Of course it is!" So much fun. It works every time I hear it even this many years later. :)
