    I have no idea what you are on about Byrd, but I greatly appreciate your taste in breakfast preserves. That was always a favourite....somewhere I think I still have the 45.

    Something more to consider...
    If this thing we call the Sun operates on a strict binary system using only zero and one, and we, with our base ten system continually answer with "two", would the Sun's binary system be capable of recognizing, or even noticing, our reply? It's entirely plausible that this Sun, star or worm hole may not even know we're here. If you think back to the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden we know that initially they had no knowledge of this thing we call evil and everything was either yes or no. But then this snake showed up and introduced a third factor into the program, which you might think of as "maybe", and the two systems were no longer able to talk to each other, something like trying to play a digital cd on a phonograph turntable - just can't seem to make that connection work and can't hear an intelligible sound within all the scratchy, annoying static. So it would appear that one system is in dire need of an upgrade, but the question is: Which one? The quantum computer solution introduces an uncertainty factor that could be problematic for something like running a train system, but entirely useful in something like music where you can throw in a note here and there that you find curious, just to see how it sounds. But in music, even though a particular note may not work in this current song at this particular time, it may well fit nicely when you hit the bridge, or start a new song.

    Destination, seen unclearly...?
    If I were to select a target star, or some other light/energy producing entity other than the sun to link to in this Universe we perceive, it might be a pulsar, which seem to be the ones out there trying to attract the most attention, waving their ion flags back and forth as they do, kinda like a lighthouse beacon...warning of hidden rocks that lurk beneath the waves? Wonder if quasars are any more friendly? Someone once told me that Moses has been known to come riding upon one...spurs a jinglin', and all that kinda stuff... But then Gamma bursts are interesting too. Wonder what really happens when you get caught up in one of those outrageously high-energy beams...Scotty? The other advantage to the gamma choice is that these bursts apparently originate from beyond our Universe and, quite frankly, I don't trust a darn thing in this one. For all we truly know, gamma bursts could originate in worm holes and all we're actually seeing is a ricochet or a reflection. And then there's black holes, which may be nothing more than one-way street worm holes, requiring nothing more than a one-way ticket - which is the only kind I can imagine even considering when the train finally pulls out of this particularly derelict station. Wave that flag, wave it wide and high Summertime's done come and gone, bye, oh my.....! Byrd

    2 things:
    firstly, thank you byrd. the act of reading your doctoral thesis on worm holes seems to have triggered a wonderful flashback that i am currently enjoying on this splendid friday night. secondly, and surely influenced by the first, i have been watching some of the olympics and am reminded of how incredibly dedicated these folks are and the possibilities of what the mind can teach the body to do and vice-versa. God bless the human spirit.......

    So what would happen to music in 2D space?
    I don't know..so maybe I'll open up an old, tattered, dog-eared songbook, allow my cd player to align its laser to the rotating, encoded plane of plastic 90 degrees distant; sit down and strum across these curiously strung and tuned planes of my guitar strings...and think about it for awhile...

    The Sun: Coronal Holes or Worm Holes? “July 26, 2012 was the first day in recorded human history that the sun failed to rise in the morning sky. Instead, what arose is what we now recognize as the event horizon of a worm hole.” 26 July 2012 Dear folks, I think I've discovered worm holes and have sent my thoughts along to the SDO, NASA and others. For a good picture of one to get you started any SDO image will suffice nicely but the AIA 094, 335, 193 is probably the best. I admit going a bit overboard in some parts because, as you might soon imagine, this remains a work in process, so please do carry through to the short proofs at the end. It's really not that long. Now my thoughts on the subject: After studying various images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory over the past few months, I've made the following observations that I've also sent to Dean Pesnell at the SDO, among others. My theory leans heavily on a rudimentary at best understanding of Leonard Susskind's theories on illusory, holographic 3D space, along with a healthy dose of Roddenberry's StarTrek TNG technology!. ------------------------------------------------------- Part I: Coronal Holes or Worm Holes? After studying multiple SDO single, composite and PFSS-enhanced wavelengths over the past few months, I've decided that it's more than obvious that the sun doesn't radiate in anything close to a uniform or constant 360 degree arc of heat or radiance, and that pathways may well exist along those magnetic arcs of lesser intensity that might be safely ridden and navigated, leading into and through what we now call coronal holes, but which are in actuality, worm holes. When we look at our sun, what we're witnessing is the event horizon of a worm hole. I suspect that what we now call solar maximum is, in actuality, the worm hole opening on our side more actively, hence the greater radiation as stuff comes through, while solar minimum is the opposite. It's always open both ways in either cycle though, because a worm hole could never fully open and close as in Star Trek - it must maintain connectivity, hence the coronal holes are the avenues as the worm hole's energy naturally pulses, vibrates or fluctuates like a guitar string. And for you string theorists out there, I highly suspect that these are the strings you’ve been trying to find. Here's one you might recognize: "No one gets any farther (to the father) except through the Sun." Remember that one? A simple instruction that has been morphed over time into something quite different. But perhaps there's more truth hidden in that sentence than we thought. And perhaps it points the way beyond here. Take a look at SDO images like AIA, 211, 193, 171 PFSS and bunches of others, and tell me what you think. With the right vehicle, or possibly even something like the correct mindset, I'll bet you a pint that we could ride those waves of magnetism and light straight through to whatever is on the other side. You can envision getting through with Susskind's theory of illusory holographic 3D space in mind and consider traversing the holes like Odysseus shooting the arrow through the eyelets, yet distance is quite different traversing a two-dimensional plane without depth as we perceive it normally. You might think of the eyelets as you would tabs on file folders: You shoot through the tabs, but all the 3D stuff is folded neatly within. That's the real Odyssey! -------------------------------------------------------------- Part II: How to Traverse a Coronal Worm Hole in A Few Easy Steps (This part gets a little SciFi, so please bear with me!) The problems of crossing large expanses of space have always been speed, distance, fuel, time, etc., but worm hole travel eliminates all of those factors. As I see it, the fundamental factors of concern for GTE light speed are magnetism, polarity and light itself - and stars are the primary source for all those things in this Universe. So to travel across space at or above the speed of light, you try to latch on to things already going that fast by literally aiming for the stars and going through rather around them. And as the Enterprise used inertial dampeners to compensate for inertia, our vessel's hull's magnetism will oscillate using a magnetic resonance polarity compensator - as soon as we invent it – that essentially mitigates Newton's First Law of Thermodynamics using magnetic polarity fluctuation/shifting, as the liquid interior of our ship sits quietly behind its magnetic shield without disturbance from the spinning glass: Kinda like the Earth now sits, apparently at idle speed for some unknown reason, inside its magnetic shield and surrounded by space being constantly buffeted by the solar winds from a "star"?! Kind of a curious predicament, wouldn't you say? But if we did actually need a mechanical ship, its inner hull would essentially be a huge gyroscope for stability, and so the outer hull could freely fluctuate as the ship glides along magnetic arcs, just as a sailing ship points as close into the wind as possible without capsizing - in our case, adjusting polarity instead of sails to fly either with or just off of the solar breeze. Similar technologies already exist at CERN with the LHC, and with the rail guns developed by the military. See below SDO image 30 July 2012: You would be entering the coronal worm hole at the speed of light, carried along a magnetic arc or squeezed through like a baseball pitching machine, and let light and magnetism propel you through, so mass-less, you won't burn up like Icarus. The added bonus is that the MRPC would provide what amounts to a force field requiring no internal power source against radiation and friction itself, as in Newton's water and glass experiment, which then becomes the mechanism for either latching onto or bouncing off light itself. And when you travel at light speed, mass as normally perceived has no mass at all - and this is where Susskind's theories, and Frank Herbert's imagination, take over nicely. Travelling from star to star at worm hole speeds(?) through 2D space(?) would be like folding space: Speed, mass, time, distance, even cold and heat, Einstein's entire universe and things like that, are 3D relative terms that have no real meaning inside a worm hole, or in 2D space, and the only time you would ever actually hit or almost exactly hit light speed is just prior to entering and the split nanosecond after leaving - probably less. So the ultimate goal is to literally aim for, and now through, the stars for the next slingshot to where ever you want to go, and you don't need any fuel because the energy is all around you. It would seem that perhaps that path we've been searching for has literally been lighted all along, while we have concerned ourselves with peering through, and groping through, the darkness. So perhaps it’s time we aimed for the stars instead… Hey, there’s one right there…What do you know? Ninety degrees to starboard sounds good to me! Port is for drinking! At least that's what SDO seems to show me...as I've thought it through so far... ------------------------------------------------------------------- Part III: Stars don't exist, but worm holes do. I'm here to demolish our classical conception of stars as singular entities floating nicely in three-dimensional space. Instead, what you're looking at when you look at a star is the business end of a worm hole, which can itself best be initially considered as you'd see it on a computer screen or paper - as two-dimensional representations on a thin film - a picture - a fiery StarGate, if you will, with exception forces at work. But that star as we perceive it is only three-dimensional because of gravitational forces such as lensing, exerted by and within the worm hole itself, which elongates or distorts what we perceive as spatial and material reality from our participant perspective. So we, who are also caught up in 3D Space due to our proximity, can literally fly 360 degrees around the sun and always perceive it as a round ball because that is the nature of 3D space in the area around a worm hole - we always experience and perceive depth - so 2D space is more akin to viewing this ultra-thin film with no real edge depth at all, as a flat paper held edge on: It's right there, but we just can't see it. This warped space within the influence boundaries of the worm hole may even be the only place where 3D space and Time, in its tic-toc state as we know it, exists at all. As such, our solar system might be envisioned in three dimensions as resembling a cut fiber optics cable with the sun in the center strand and the planets hanging on the ends of, say eight or nine cut fibers, with some frayed to represent the moons, while its two dimensional representation would look something like the original Pong video game, with nine little balls moving horizontally back and forth across this circle we call the sun. I Ching: "It furthers one to have somewhere to go." So again, stars don't exist, but worm holes do. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Part IV: The Proof Comet Lovejoy plunging "into" the sun - with hypervelocity subsequent eruption. There are more occurrences just like this one. Here is the evidence for my theories, which I believe to be correct. The impact and subsequent discharge are too close together for the extreme distances involved for there to be any other explanation http://spaceweather.com/images2011/14sep11/sundiver6.gif?PHPSESSID=60as… There are other comet strikes that show the same thing. ------------------------------------------------ Final Argument: It's long been known that the sun's interior is cooler than its exterior, but no one knew why. The reason is that what we perceive as the sun’s interior is actually a worm hole that dissipates the heat from what we call the corona, but what in truth is the event horizon of the worm hole which we perceive as a star, or the sun. -------------------------------------- In conclusion, if I were to try to describe our predicament (if we are indeed in one) in the most concise terms possible it would be this: We are essentially caught in the middle phases of a Heisenberg compensator operation - both material/spirit or corporeal/noncorporeal - and this thing we call the sun is that compensator. Matter would first be combobulated, then discombobulated (converted to photons) during passage, then recombobulated at the other end as it again enters 3D space. So where are we exactly? That's where the new quantum computer might just come in handy, because we're apparently in all three states (yes, no and maybe), or at least two of them (yes and no) simultaneously and kinda stuck here in limbo because of this curious thing called Time, which may only exist in its tic-toc state here in good ol' 3D Land, where we're sitting all combobulated (figuratively fat, dumb and happy), going around in apparent circles and waiting for the next phase - which may be no more than us finally figuring it out for ourselves. The stars may not have all literally fallen from the sky, but they have been left dangling by rather curious threads. Peace, Byrd P.S.

    Thank you
    Brother Byrd. Most intriguing and (wait for it...) enlightening. Can't help but wonder what Mickey might make of it all, given his dabblings with sonicification. One potential quirk, though. Since you hold that time is a dimension perceptible only in a 3D phase space, what happens to music in a 2D space. No time, no rhythm, no music. I may be antiquated in my thinking, but to me Time has always been the 4th dimension anyway. But I recognize that's a belief, not a fact.

Hey, so a shout out here to Oroboros who sent me some discs! Oh but wait, there's more! He sent a copy of an Egypt program from the show at zee Pyramids as well. Incredible! Haven't gotten through all of it yet music wise, but I am currently enjoying 7-5-78 which so far has the best Estimated Prophet I've ever heard. Just blows me away completely and the Eyes that follow has some weird tempo shifting going on but it is still nice. This show has been such a treat that I looked it up on the archive: 07-05-1978 At the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, NB A reviewer there said that the pitch was off...the tempo does seem up a bit from the CD's I have but I'm having a hard time telling if it makes that much difference. Beyond worth a listen and thanks Tim! | I'm just a, well...porpoise. |

Well, my wife and I just returned from our summer vacation this past weekend. Bonnaroo was a lot of fun. After Bonnaroo, we drove and camped though the Great Smokies and later through the Shenandoah Skyline Drive.Nice leisurely way to get back home! After the craziness of Bonnaroo, it was nice to hike in the mountains and relax by the campfire. My wife and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary last Monday with a campefire dinner and a late night bottle of wine around the fire, in the Great Smokies. A very good time. Last night we caught Dylan at Hershey. Not a bad way to wrap up our summer vacation if I may say so. Anyway, here's my recap of 'Roo: Thursday night's Tea Leaf Green show was killer, though I wish they would have played longer. String Cheese on Friday night melted my brain a bit. What a great band. It's a shame they're riding off into the sunset though...Railroad Earth is absolutely incredible! The singer/guitarist had this big ass smile on his face through the entire show; so did I! John Butler was great as was Michael Franti and Spearhead. At one point Franti jumped into the crowd and rocked out with us. Crazy. The 3 hr Govt Mule show on Saturday was definitely a highlight. Bob jamming with Warren on Sugaree was great. Ben Harper was awsome (John Paul Jones joined him for a ten minute jam of Dazed and Confused, which was cool because I missed the superjam as I was at the Cheese show). Richard Thompson was a suprise. He has a rockin' band. I love Vincent Black Lightning, and I was really impressed with his newer songs, in particular, "dad's Trying to Kill Me" a song written for the soldiers in Iraq. ("Dad" in this case, works on various levels). There were so many good shows man. Rodrigo and Gabriella are musicians I can't recommend higher. They absolutely floored me However, I was a little non-plussed by the Ratdog show on Sunday afternoon. I felt like Bob was holding back a bit. They did get into some nice groves and explore some interesting ideas during Throwing Stones, The Other One, and Franklin's Tower, but overall something seemed off. (Hell in a Bucket was awful). Well, I'm planning on seeing them later this summer with the Allman's so hopefully I'll enjoy that show more. It is nice to be back home though. Yo Soy Boricua!

Yeah, we had a great time at Bonnaroo as well. I took my wife and three "kids". I missed SCI 'cause I went to Super Jam and had my mind and face melted off. I really wanted to be in two places at once, on several occasions this year, more than other years (it's always an issue at Bonnaroo). Also missed most of Gov' Mule 'cause I was at The Flaming Lips show which was incredible! Was able to catch the very end of their jamming ass show but was exhausted from a day of standing in the hot sun seeing Ziggy and Ben Harper, up close with little or no support from my camp because they were resting up for The Lips and DJ Shadow. My wife brought in some water and frozen lemonade after Ziggy, which got me through Ben Harper's show. Did catch some of The Police but we got great "seats" for The Flaming Lips which exceeded our every expectations for a show, both musically and otherwise.Happy Anniversary to you and your wife. Ironically, we are celebrating our 25th all summer long with Bonnaroo being the big kickoff. See what good music can do! See what love will make you do???? Glad to see you're still with us, Leadbelly. The Dude Abides!

We passed the festival site on Thurs nite (14th) on our way to Florida. It appeared the police were turning all east bound cars (with obvious concert goers in them) away from the exits and making them continue east bound on the highway. I couldn't believe how many squad cars with flashing lights there were for what seemed miles past the actual site. How many towns over was it?

Thanks CC Joe, Skenisahen, and GRTUD. Yeah GRTUD, every year we have these little mini "crises" over whom to see at bonnaroo. We decided on SCI over super jam because this is SCI's last tour. They even busted out a little Keller Williams Incident for a Stayin' Alive>Best Feeling jam. You can download the SCI show from their website. We decided on the Mule show over the Flaming Lips because we'd heard rumors over the various guests Warren had planned. I know the Lips had like a flying saucer, but John Paul Jones on keyboards for a twelve minute "No Quarter" was epic. Happy anniversary to you GRTUD. Wow 25 years; that's great. Any tips for me on staying together for that long? I have already learned to defer on most issues to the wife; sure, I can quote Hannah Arendt, and have written dissertations on Aristotle and Hume, but she knows about finances and investing (basically a bunch of stuff I don't understand; if it were up to me we'd have all our money under the mattress :) ). I get main say on things like what films to see, what concerts to attend, and the best way to perform minor home repairs. I also kill bugs. I am in charge of killing bugs. It is a good life, and I am not forced to talk to the accountant. Yo Soy Boricua!

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!

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

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.

the one with Al Franken was from some simulcast concert on cable or something... but I just searched on youtube.com and got those... every now and again I do a new search, and since folks are always putting up new shit, there have been some pretty cool things. the one with Brent and Billy order some hot dogs on the street here in NYC during Spring 88 tour. Billy likes just mustard while Brent takes 'everything'. Mickey Brent and Billy order some hot dogs on the street here in NYC during Spring 88 tour. Billy likes just mustard while Brent takes 'everything'. Mickey then comes down from Mars to offer greetings... Backstage at one of the venues, Bob makes his foray into dentistry with his trusted assistant Billy. These are both Justin Kreutzmann's footage. peace.

Terrapin Flyer, Chicago's liaison to the spirit of the GD, will be performing two special shows on the day of birth and the day of passing of Jerry Garcia at the Kinetic Playground. The August 1st show will feature Wavy Dave from Cornmeal and Chicago jazz legend Pat Mallinger and the August 9th show will feature former Dark Star Orchestra bassist Michael Hazdra. Hope you can make it and if not help spread the good word!!! Dead to the Core www.myspace.com/bongwizard

hey everyone. just wanted to say I am having a great time with this site. I have met some really really cool people and feel like I am part of the family again. It is awesome and great and it makes me sad that i drifted away. with that said, I am really really really really enjoying the fan photos. I am especially digging the parking lot photos, crowd scenes, and pictures of people and their friends. i am trying to put some of mine up. I know alot of us couldnt be bothered to lug a camera around a show ( it was hard enough keeping track of shoes and car keys), so it is great to see photos I wish I had taken. I am trying to add some of my photos up. Sadly, I would say over 150 shows, i have about twenty photos from shows. wish i had more. im going to put up a photo soon in tribute to my datsun 510, covered with dead stickers, who willingly took me on all those road trips. i am rambling now, trying to look busy at work....

Stevie Ray with boobs? take that back! take that back, right now. ok, the 'kid' asked a serious question, so here is the serious answer: if you want studio stuff: Get: American Beauty Workinman's Dead Terrapin Station Shakedown Street for live stuff, first there is a TON of free shit here: archive.org or get any of the dick's picks. I am partial to the 'Brent' era; but that is another discussion. up to you. peace.

Thanks ccj I got american beauty and working mans dead. great albums, but i still gotta stick by shakedown street as my fave. couldnt find terrapin station though. Maybe get it from my aunt. Been away on sabbatical in maine. computers also been broken for about a month, but im getting a new one for my birthday i think. I would prefer a car, of course, but my parents are terrified of the idea of me driving. ;-)peace also, to anyone goiung up to maine who will be passing anywhere near freeport, checkout a store called cool as a moose. great store with some hilarious stuff as well as some cool people who hang out there. check it out.
