    "Porpoise" is one of my songs, I will post the lyrics for your enjoyment: I'm just a porpoise that looks like a dog I got big funny ears, you might think I was a frog If you saw me But I'm just a, well...porpoise I got lots of gray fur All over my back I got a dorsal fin and my nose is black I'm just a, well...porpoise Re: all these wonderful folks: I think they were either not aware of the previous forum (Dead.net sent out emails to like, everyone about the new site) and/or the chaos of the old forum freaked 'em out and they couldn't deal. Either way, its too bad, 'cause we coulda used 'em! My turn for questions: Joe, ain't you shackin' up in Jersey? I grew up in Union, NJ. | I'm just a, well...porpoise. |

    I think with all the topics now available and sub-topics and super-forums, etc, its so easy to lose track of folks especially now that us old 'wild west' folks have been merged into the general population.

    Uncle John's Band in Barcelona...
    Band de tío Juan Manan los primeros días son los días más duros, no tú preocupación más, La 'causa cuando vida parece la calle fácil, allí es peligro en tu puerta. Pensar esto a través con mí, dejarme saben tu mente, ¿Wo, oh, qué deseo saber, soy soy tú bueno? Es opción de un bailarín del buck mi amigo; mejorar la toma mi consejo. Sabes todas las reglas ahora y el fuego del hielo. ¿Vendrás con mí? ¿No vendrás con mí? ¿Wo, oh, qué deseo saber, tú vengo con mí? ¿Goddamn, pozo que declaro, has visto los similares? Su pared se construye de cannonballs, su lema es “no pisa en mí”. Venido oír a tío John'n Band el jugar a la marea, Viene con mí, o va solamente, él se viene tomar a sus niños a casa. Es la misma historia que el cuervo me contó; es el único que él conoce. Como el sol de la mañana vienes y como el viento vas. No hay tiempo para odiar, mide el tiempo apenas para esperar, ¿Wo, oh, qué deseo saber, dónde el tiempo voy? Vivo en una mina de plata y la llamo la tumba del mendigo; Me conseguí un violín y te pido llamar la consonancia, cualquiera bien escogido, puedo oír tu voz. ¿Wo, oh, qué deseo saber, cómo la canción voy? Venido oír a Venda de tío Juan al lado de la orilla, Consiguió algunas cosas para hablar, aquí al lado de la marea de levantamiento. Venido oír a Venda de tío Juan el jugar a la marea, Se adelanta adelante, o va solamente, él se viene tomar a sus niños a casa. Wo, oh, qué deseo saber, cómo hace la canción ir.

that clip is from a CBS documentary, circa 1967, called "The Hippie Temptation." Narrated by Harry Reasoner, who usually had better sense, as I recall. It's about half an hour long. Let's just say it will probably provoke mixed emotions.

dude, check you local public library, if they have a video lending library, sometimes you would be amazed at what you will find... or if you have access to a big city University library... good luck, if you find it, please send me a private message. thanks, CC Joe

I think I found about a dozen versions of it on YouTube but that was a while ago. For some reason all the online versions I've seen are very purple.

marye, any idea of the search tags you used? could you please find the vid again and embed it here or post up the tiny urls (see I'm learning) to the link. I searched on youtube right after I first saw the vid, but couldn't find it, then I searched again using Hippie Temptation, and other combinations, and other words, documentary, Harry reasoner, etc. etc. Haight, naturally 'hippie' gets a million hits... so it is impossible to wade through all of that... any ideas? I was going to go at this from the other end - and look for an original full copy, any idea what station broadcasted it or who owns the rights? was it on the history channel or something? I was even thinking if I called up Harry Reasoner, he might be 'reasonable' enough to share a copy... ( -: thankx and peace.

CC Joe, it's on this DVD also (well a small clip of Reasoner with the most famous sound byte) which Rhino would love for you to know about I'm sure. GREAT DVD, one of my favorites, in fact. Mickey's reaction to the label "hippie" is classic, among many great moments. "We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold."

Anthem had the one Garcia quote about living a good life, living a simple life... words to live by. anyways, Anthem is totaly fucking cool. I like it when they are at the mixing boards. peace. "The highway is for gamblers, you'd better use your sense. Take what you have gathered from coincidence"

Yeah, "Anthem" is good stuff, for sure. My mom gave it to me as a Christmas present some years back. She had no idea what it was and made it through about 5 mins. with me, when I opened it and slammed it into the DVD player. It was my favorite present that year. My kids really enjoyed it and I agree with your assessment, CC Joe, it's a great "primer". In another note on this DVD, a friend included that Garcia quote on an old bootleg tape, many years ago, and I used to play it over and over to people but no one seemed to "get it". I left it on the answering machine of one of my supervisor's, when I resigned from an old job. They actually hired me back and were really cool until I ultimately left the company more than 5 years later. I actually should have never left that job, although the cultural shifts that were occuring there would have made it a moot point in time, I'm sure. It is a cool world sometimes. The Dude Abides!

also I especially enjoyed Phil and Hunter's explanation of writing box. I dig stuff like that, too. I actually picked up Anthem of Beauty not really knowing what it was about, or that is was a documentary. I was at best buy or somewhere, getting a few of the Views, in a mad rush, spotted it, oh, a GD DVD?, into the basket, I kind of thought it was going to be studio footage of them recording American Beauty... or something like 'So Far' little did I know.

the kind of funny irony, is that Rhino, which many fans give shit to, put this DVD out. and, of course, the vid contains band members discussing their relationship with Warner Bros. it was especially funny to see the ex-WB executive, I forgot his name, STILL wearing his cheesy sportscoat talking about how Phil and Micky are insane. I wonder if he got it out of 'a time warp wardrobe' just for the occassion? my criticism of the DVD is the stupid, self promoting, valentine Rhino wrote for themselves which we HAVE to watch at the start of the DVD, and the fact that the whole DVD is too short. ( -; there has to be more historical film of the band's off stage antics on the road out there. more historical interviews and more in studio film would have been a big plus. enough complaining for one day. peace.

Yeah that opening advertisement is about the worst piece of self promotion I've ever seen 'cause "our trip was different. It was to be a classic affirmation of everything right and true in the national character. A gross physical salute to the fantastic possibilities of life in this country. But only for those with true grit......." Great video, though!

Hi Y'all, I wrote this poem about Jerry the day after he died. It is from memory, so it is not exactly what I wrote, but it is close. I wanted to share it with my family. Please share it with any family who might get something from it. My gift to all of you.... No Stella, No Dew, No Cumberland Blues No Speedway, No Aiko,Or Row Jimmy too No Bertha, No Shakedown, No Wheel No more No Terrapin, No Eyes, No Knocking on Heavens Door Comes a Time Came, and He's Gone went Money Honey finally came up with the rent Dark Star shattered, Black Peter played Shining Star shined 'till its dying day The Breadbox has dough, The jelly has rolls, The Fire on the Mountain is nothing but coals The Wharf Rat did, and Don't Let Go didn't The Eyes of the Maker are always well hidden The Wheel is turning, Stagger Lee has Balls, St Stephen has gathered all that he lost The Sunshine came, Help is on the Way, Visions of Johanna are now all that remain The Loser is losing, The Deal is done, and we'll never forget you, who shined like the sun. Be well all of you. And rest well,Jerry! I think about you every day! Midnight on a carousel ride, reaching for that gold ring down inside. Never could reach it. It just slips away. BUT I TRY!

shivers in my spine, dude. shivers up and down my spine. thankx for sharing. ************************************* Hunter wrote this, and it was read at Jerry's funeral: Elegy for Jerry Garcia Jerry, my friend, you've done it again, even in your silence the familiar pressure comes to bear, demanding I pull words from the air with only this morning and part of the afternoon to compose an ode worthy of one so particular about every turn of phrase, demanding it hit home in a thousand ways before making it his own, and this I can't do alone. Now that the singer is gone, where shall I go for the song? Without your melody and taste to lend an attitude of grace a lyric is an orphan thing, a hive with neither honey's taste nor power to truly sting. What choice have I but to dare and call your muse who thought to rest out of the thin blue air that out of the field of shared time, a line or two might chance to shine -- As ever when we called, in hope if not in words, the muse descends. How should she desert us now? Scars of battle on her brow, bedraggled feathers on her wings, and yet she sings, she sings! May she bear thee to thy rest, the ancient bower of flowers beyond the solitude of days, the tyranny of hours-- the wreath of shining laurel lie upon your shaggy head bestowing power to play the lyre to legions of the dead If some part of that music is heard in deepest dream, or on some breeze of Summer a snatch of golden theme, we'll know you live inside us with love that never parts our good old Jack O'Diamonds become the King of Hearts. I feel your silent laughter at sentiments so bold that dare to step across the line to tell what must be told, so I'll just say I love you, which I never said before and let it go at that old friend the rest you may ignore.

welcome back, Gypsy Soul, this show is for you! ummm, I'm afraid that JB Goode is not correct for any of the rounds... by the by; the most recent round is here: http://www.dead.net/forum/false-alarm-only-game-town?page=39 after round 2, the 'network' gave us our own channel. it is in the News and Talk Section, under: False Alarm. Round 12 is up for grabs. love and peace. "What's the point of calling shots, this cue ain't straight in line Cue balls made of styrofoam and no-one's got the time"

there was one or tw more bits... this was the 86-87 NYE show or the 87-88 NYE show which was simulcast on cable TV or PBS or something... they put in these clips during the set-break or before the show. I had an old VHS tape of this, along with a copy of So Far, but I think it is packed up in a box inside my sister's closet... maybe Christmas time I will hed that way and see if I can find them. peace

What do you think the chances are of convincing the dead to put their sb tapes on the net something like David Grissman does with his Acoustic Disc label? You know, charge a nominal fee and let us download them. It seems a shame to lock all that rare and unique music away in a dungeon. I.m new here, so this may have been discussed before.

gypsy soul SAID Posted: July 20, 2007 - 5:33am "thanks ccjoe you answered my next question. love that kind of stuff. almost hurts too in a bittersweet kind of way. i think you know what i mean. thanks again baby, you are the best!!!" no, YOU are the best, babe, you are the best. I know exactly what you mean in bittersweet. yeah, it does hurt. and while it hurts, I still can not get over how wonderful it is. I see the band lounging together, probably the only band in the history of the fucking world that had such a relationship with their fans. such a sense of humor, such touching, caring love for everyone -- a true two way street. as much as the fans loved the band, the band loved the fans. they always did. that was the special relationship we had with them, and them with us. being near the front of the stage, and Jerry smiling at ME. smiling at US. the boys playing their hearts out for our joy and pleasure which bounced off us and back into them to open their hearts yet further... do you think Madonna has such a relationship with her fans?? I remember watching that show 'live' on cable TV or whatever with a group of hard core east coast heads... well, hardcore to a certain extent since we never motivated enough to get to the left coast for a NYE show. (sigh) man oh man, when we saw those comedy clips we were fucking freaking out. nice memories, thankfully preserved on tape for the generations to come to see and enjoy. but it makes me remember... the one year, the one fucking year, I had all of my shit together, had all of my plans carved in stone, to be in the bay area for NYE... what happens? oh, yeah, bittersweet to say the least. peace.

Hey now folks! I'll be heading down So many roads I know So many roads to ease my soul... see ya in a few months! love and peace! c'mon everybody, sing along! So Many Roads Lyrics: Robert Hunter Music: Jerry Garcia Thought I heard a blackird singing Up on Bluebird Hill Call me a whinin' boy if you will Born where the sun don't shine And I don't deny my name Got no place to go, ain't that a shame? Thought I heard that KC whistle Moaning sweet and low Thought I heard that KC when she blow Down where the sun don't shine Underneath the Kokomo Whinin' boy got no place to go So many roads I tell you So many roads I know So many roads, so many roads Mountain high, river wide So many roads to ride So many roads, so many roads Thought I heard a jug band playin' "If you don't... who else will?" From over on the far side of the hill All I know the sun don't shine And the rain refused to fall And you don't seem to hear me when I call Wind inside and the wind outside Tangled in the window blind Tell me why you treat me so unkind Down where the sun don't shine Lonely and I call your name No place left to go, ain't that a shame? So many roads I tell you New York to San Francisco So many roads I know All I want is one to take me home From the high road to the low So many roads I know So many roads so many roads From the land of the midnight sun Where the ice blue roses grow Along those roads of gold and silver snow Howlin' wide or moaning low So many roads I know So many roads to ease my soul ( -;
