I like what Jerry said about tapers. After we play it, we’re done with it. They can have it. Talk about moving the music forward, experimentation.

Appropriate song for a drive inn

I sincerely respect Lindley’s right to manage his vibe with his music however he sees fit. But copying his CD and sending him a $5 kicker is light years from him getting exposure to tens of thousands of ears whilst appearing as a guest of Phil and Jerry and him saying “no taping”. He was looking a gift horse in the mouth. 🐴🐴🐴

Billy Strings is doing two drive in shows in Illinois and it says each car is giving an extra car space so if people want to get out of their car they use this extra space. I think those that got philly tickets are going to have a real swell time. I wonder how many cars the lot holds ? Hopefully all goes well with the follow up health reports. I don't see 1000 people packing into any clubs any time soon. Kudos for DSO for venturing out and for everyone who bought tickets and for all the forum folks for keeping a torch lit. FYI Lindley had a statement on his cds that said if you make a copy for someone please send $5.00 to a po box in Boulder. He said he wasn't funded by any corporations.

Ha ! I checked it out this morning. I was thinking earlier today how Dark Star Orchestra, this forum and it’s posters, your deadbase game, the internet, etc. has opened up the Grateful Dead universe to me. I started in 1980, so have always been a Brent fan and always drawn to that time period as far as listening to tapes. Catching Dark Star shows got me listening to seventies shows, seeking them out on the internet, getting an understanding of that era. About a year ago, I started to pull up shows from today’s date. A great way to explore all of the different eras of the Grateful Dead. There is so much to study. They make you listen to every note. All of it is important. It’s deep. I credit Dark Star Orchestra for keeping the wheel turning and keeping me from not fading away. Moving forward, I’m thinking one of the nights in Philly will be an elective possibly with a theme fitting of these crazy times of late.
