Grateful Dead

I remember them well, although I never saw them. They were included in with the punk bands that made records starting in 1977. Musically, they were a bit different from other British punk bands as they had someone on organ and later synthesizer. More influenced by The Doors than Iggy and The Stooges. I also like the twangy guitar, which sounded a bit Ernio Morricone or surf like at times.
The biggest downside was that they wrote some of the most sexist and sexually violent lyrics it has ever been my misfortune to hear. They seemed to celebrate thuggishness.

I decided to listen to the Stranglers. Maybe the creepyass name kept me away

Anyway, apparently were huge in the UK but NEVER heard in the US

so a few tunes in and yeah, they sound rather unique.

Any UK input on the Stranglers?

Absolutely 💯

Disc one good
Disc two great
Scranton test passed
Bonus material tasty
Disc three will be tomorrow's festivities

Edit
Went ahead and enjoyed it tonight

Got thru Hard to Handle

Went to disc three of 4/24/72

Melted

Will return to Scranton shortly

I would post your Tiger Rose comments again. I think the take down was unintentional and not targeted at you. I remember that there was a wordy spam/bot post from a newly minted account right about then and it got taken down when I checked back in. My guess is that the ptb that police that sort of stuff inadvertently took down yours also. Been awhile but I've had it happen to me and if I remember correctly several of us lost posts once because they were sandwiched between 2 spam posts.

Not listening to anything at the "moment" - focusing on pizza and some cold beer after hot day in the field. The music will flow shortly. I could easily go Tuscaloosa but don't have it at hand. Edit - so its 5/26/77 Baltimore DaP 41 - its got a Jack-A-Roe and the whole release sounds amazing (as we all know).

Keep on enjoying the weekend everybody.

As I did not get to it earlier this week, I thought I'd go ... Anniversarial 😊

Let's find out

Hoo-Hoo >> Where are We?

All the discussion around the shows leading up to these this week made me grab it - It's amazing that it came out (in this form) a full 25 years ago (!)

Anyway, the sound quality on it is so spectacular, and most all of the playing is as well ... Disc 3, in particular, the majority of 4.28 (edit: Set 3), takes me back 40 years, as it was one of the first good quality cassettes I ever heard ... and then came to have shortly afterwards.

Peace
