I've been on a bit of a Dead thing lately. This show is always listed as quintessential from a hippie/GD perspective. Neal Cassidy pops in about 25 min in.(it may be file footage I don't know) The first 10 min are silly-then the music and the acid seems to kick in. Best hippie footage I have ever seen. Warning there are bare naked ladies and gentlemen.
What are you listening to? The world really needs to know. #7

Thanks for not making specific mention of naked tripping guy on telephone pole during Jack Straw.:eek: In Good Old Grateful Dead circles, 8/27/72 and 5/8/77 seem to rise to the top as the best shows ever from them. I'm not a full show type; I dig on moments, which are scattered among the many hundreds of official CDs and authorized cassette boots out there. But on this one, the jam from China Cat Sunflower into I Know You Rider is particularly good (10:01-14:40). Playing in the band was great that day, but isn't on this viddy except for a snippet of the jam @ 1:02:30. Merle Haggard's Sing Me Back Home is really well-delivered as the sun goes down, but only gets brief treatment at the end of this video.

kinda my mood lately. Mathew Ryan nails it and the cd this is from CONCUSSION is excellent.
Heard this on the radio today.
That was awesome.

Chronic, you need to lurk these halls more often. You and I have like-minded musical tastes and, to boot, you're a hot shit (late '70s-early '80s cool-speak). Good to see you are still kickin'
Here's a curveball:
the only good poet
One retreat after another without peace.
I remember seeing Billy Childish's Hangman Press books with their woodcut prints while scouring London bookshops for Bukowski. The books always went back on the shelf. The misspelling seemed affected.
You were warned! He is up there for a very very long time. Kudo's to him he never fell. I wondered where is he now??
I own that video - the funny thing is he shows up later on the same pole with cut-off shorts on. Somebody must have said something.
Or he just got cold and we know thats never a good thing
Well, it was about 105F that day.
This is worth the listen-you can thank me later.

I know that Grateful Dead don't get much love 'round these parts, but the late '70s versions of traditional ballads such as Peggy-O are a favorite of mine. Jerry throws in a really tasteful solo from 3:10-5:28:

Small Potatoes. Gale Garnett, who, if you're old enough, you'll remember from We'll Sing In The Sunshine in the mid-60s. Keep an eye out for the flop sweat at 1:45.
The video is interesting because it's for a Cinebox Scopitone machine, which was a jukebox that played films. In the 60s!
Here's another one, for the kids.
"Man, I don't know what to do when you're filming us!"
"Just stand there with your dick showing through the tight white pants, it's perfect."
The Cinebox Scopitone story is worth reading. A little slice of music history.
