PEACE for ALL!

Seemed like a good fit.

I've been in a very positive mindset lately, but Bobby combined with several other deaths around me the past two weeks has got me down. Bobby being the last one was unexpected. Brought me back to when Jerry, Phil, and Brent passed.

Blue Mountain has a reflective vibe, like a man in his years sitting in a rocking chair reflecting on his life. It got me reflecting on my life too. I think I will reflect some more.

All gussied up and very enjoyable. Another nice, well played show with sweet delicate dynamics e.g., Sailor, LLR. Similar mo to 3/14 and 3/12, as compared to more outwardly ripping MSG, Utica, Cole. Very lysergic like in that the energy is inward versus outward, if that makes sense? Nice timely He’s Gone etc.
Looking forward to next night mañana…

So sorry for your loss!!
You always spoke well/appreciatively of her.
Tough week indeed…

....to make five dollars a day, but right now, its Santa Fe time. Have a couple cousins that reside there. Making chicken enchiladas.
Edit. Saw that Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles posted a memorial on her IG. I'm a subscriber because shes cool.

Gotta cue up the Aiko Aiko from '88.

10/2/77

Putting on the big ears today to listen.
That 11/14/71 Other One is something else (top shelf complimentary). From the land of Phil to a section where it's just Jerry, Keith and Bob all playing quiet and delicate that had me ready to melt.
Now turning back to 11/17/72 Wichita, which I never really got in a good big ears listen. Now a little over midway through Set I. Bob's guitar on Brown Eyed Women . . .

Taking a ride through the June 1976 box set. Welcome back Mickey!
Yesterday was bad. Today was just a little bit better.

My 2nd show.

I'm done with mine

Rest in Peace, Bob
