This was the last time that I saw Levon play, am wishing that I'd been much more determined in pursuing my desire to see a Ramble at the barn. Levon was in good voice, the band was cooking.
Writing this, I realize that a few hours earlier that day was also the last time I saw Doc Watson play.
Damn.
I've had improvised variations on this infectious riff running in my head all day, and can't help wondering why Furthur isn't toying with this as a transition jam. I'd be shocked to find Jeff doesn't already know it well.
can you just imagine '73/'74 era Dead jamming with these masters? surely the most beautiful concert that never was.
we can always dream of course....

Hey Deadicated, I just saw Dr. John opening for Gov't Mule last Saturday. Fine show all the way around...
the night tripper - Gris-gris
I'd perused the New Arrivals section at one of the local record stores, Euclid Records, and had moved on to this and that. When I came back to the NA section Gris-gris had just been filed under Blues next to the Louis Jordan compilation I was going to pick up. Well, Louis had to wait - this was the first time I'd seen Gis-go so I had to go for it fo' sho!

i can see how that Paul Simon song could keep you awake; it has a rhythm like a train on the tracks which sounds mighty fine to my ears. man, those early simon & garfunkel records brings ol' jonapi to tears. absolutely beautiful music.
these last few nights it's been The Orb's Little Fluffy Clouds keeping myself awake; impossible to extract that bassline from the brain, infusing one's senses causing a flood of lucid dreaming like bobbing in warm cushioning water.
ahhh, the sound of early '90's bliss; rural idyll, countryside bathed in sweet summer sunlight with a beautiful righteous doobie in the hand and my wife by my side.
was that really 21 years ago? my how time flies....
