You mean Marty Robbins.  He was the originator of the tune (music-gurus,
correct me if I'm wrong), so if anyone did a "best of compilation" it was
the Boyz.  

OTC: (official trivia content) I seem to recall that there used to be a
distinction (I think there still is) between "Country" and "Western"
music--Marty Robbins was pure "Western".

Oh please. Methinks you are a trifle biased. I don't get out to too
many non-Dead shows these days, but the ones I do attend are usually
fine soundwise. The Paul Simon shows at Red Rocks had phenomenal sound
considering the number of musicians on stage. I've seen Neil Young a
whole bunch of times and the sound was great every time.

Sure, Healy does a very good job, especially in shitty sounding sports
arenas, but he's not infallible. The first show at McNichols was 
especially bad. Poor mix in the first set; speakers behind the stage not
even turned on; missed turning up Vince's mike for first verse of song;
not enough volume in general.

IMHO, he should employ some wandering human analyzers to give him some
real-time feedback as to how it really sounds. It's no fun to go to a
show and not hear the first couple songs.

USA Today (12/17) printed a very uncomplimentary article about Deadheads
who have been arrested at shows for selling/buying LSD and given
extra-ordinary jail time.
Some of the article should serve as fair warning to those who are
stupid enough to buy or sell doses near or at venues--but the worst
is that it paints a very distorted picture of general behavior at
shows and seems to ignore the large majority of folks who don't
"indulge' as it were.  No attempt is made to ascertain
how much of the total audience these people represent--it implies
that we all go to shows to trip, and that's obviously not true.
    Anyway, I think that this article should be a good indication of
the chances of one or more of the boyz performing at the Inauguration.
Likely, very little chance--since I can't see Bill Clinton's folks
wanting to risk people getting arrested for whispering "Doses"
amongst the large crowd.  Surely, press like this is never good, but
the timing seems particularly bad on this.

Press:  We know that you and your family attended the 6/2/92 Dead
        show at RFK stadium.  Since we know that everyone who attends
        takes large doses of LSD, you must have too.

Clinton: Yes, I dropped LSD at the start of the second set.  But, I
         didn't swallow.

Anyway, check out the USA Today article and see for yourself What a
long strange trip it's been.

Christmas Card From Terrapin Tapes

I got Chuck Hayes's card yesterday too.  It was *very* cool.  He runs an honest
show.  And he's trying harder than he has to (IMHO) to soothe customers whose
feathers got ruffled by Maxell's screw-up last summer.

Hey people -
     Glad to have it back in DC.  I was listening to the first half of it
and had a few comments/Questions.  It must have been one of the earliest
Touch's.  I thought pretty funny hearing jerry really blow the lyrics. 
He also had a change in the line, "I see you got your list out, say your
peace and PISS OFF"  Great Jam in We Men are Smarter too.  My only question 
is what # was that.  I missed the second half of the hour, and I missed it.
I was just wondering what to expect next time and if we are on the same
schedule that the rest of the  country is.

Later,

B.S.

Its one of those TIME/LIFE commercials, and they are offering
the The GRATEFUL DEAD MOVIE (1974) & BACKSTAGE PASS VIDEO (1992)
for 4 easy installments of $14.95 for a total of $59. With this 
order you get FREE the GD One from the Vaults CD. Kinda funny seeing
the commercial, they had footage from the Dead Movie & a shot of
Pigpen on the steps of 710 Ashbury St, from Backstage Pass video.
I think it would be cheaper to order all 3 from GD Merchandising.

As a filler on a recent tape I got is Branford and the boys
doing an INCREDIBLE Harder They Come.  It was labled as
9/10/91 MSG, but I have never seen it listed on any set list
and people who were at that show don't recall it either.
The only other times Branford played with them (to my knowledge)
was at Nassau 1990 and New Years 1991, I think.  Is it possible
that this is from a sound check?  DeadBase has no mention of 
the Dead ever doing Harder..., but I do think that JGB does
it.  Anyway, it is one of my favorite moments on tape. 
It smokes !  I'd say it's between 15 to 20 minutes long.
There are at least 3 false endings.  You can hear a beautiful jam
comming to a close and it sounds like the song is about to end,
then Jerry starts in with another verse. Branford and Jerry trade
solos like they had rehearsed for years.
I strongly advise looking for this little tid-bit(Whats a tid-bit anyway?)
Its definitly worth the search .
Oh yea! I almost forgot.  If anyone knows the origin of this
rendition let me know.

After thinking about it overnight, I actually think this show is one of the
best 3 or so that I've seen!  It was incredible!!!  I'm hoping that they'll be
able to maintain that energy level tonight - it didn't sound like they were
getting tired at all, so I'm hopeful.  The only thing concerns me is that it
sounded like Jerry's voice was fading a bit at the very end - I hope it'll be
back up to strength tonight, because it's been so cool to hear him able to hit
all the notes and have real power in his voice!  His vocals on Dark Star last
night were simply amazing!  I'll leave it to someone else to write a complete
review - suffice it to say that I'm looking to obtain a copy of this show on 
tape as soon as possible...

Well I don't think I can do justice to the story without actually going and
finding the tape so I can transcribe it. And I'm *way* too busy with work and
Christmas-stuff to do that. But basically it's a typical Bobby dumb-joke
about this guy who gets rid of this brick and it keeps coming back.

I really have no idea what show it's from (except that it's definitely
pre-'73), again probably '70 or '71.
