Poor Al Davis must be rolling over in his grave. Doctor I help out with his farm clued me in to a secret code they have in the medical community. FLK= Funny Looking Kid.

Man, my Raiders are stinking up the joint. So much for McDaniels big plans.

Wow! They’re playing the fuck out of Chinatown shuffle.

It’s in there. I’m exhausted just reading through the first set song list and imagining the energy in the room. Filler is just a sweet cherry on top.

I need to lose my Penn’s Peak Cherry. I think this year may be it.

The Grand in Wilmington is a Sunday show. Just saying. I’m there.

3/31/18 and 5/26/21 I was in attendance for. Yea, that’s what I thought, just a couple of times a year, more when they first started playing it, just like Jerry and the boys.

Digging the Expressway. Any stats on last time played?

Coolest thing last night; a couple migrated up the front where I was, one back from the rail. The guy explained to me that the lady he was with was deaf. They wanted to get close to stage so she could feel the vibration of the music. I suggested that she needed to have a balloon to hold to better feel the vibrations. (Saw it on the documentary, long, strange trip.) he thought that was a great idea, explained it to her. A guy standing nearby heard us and walked off, came back in a moment with a balloon for her. Pretty cool, was glad to help.

2/14/88 at the Henry J. Kaiser in Oakland. Mighty Quinn encore went right into Easy Wind with Lisa on Harmonica, box a rain, Let it Rock. Great weather, great night.

Playin>Scarlet> Playin, Hhmmm. Interesting.

I was there last year. Basically a stage in a field in a condo complex but better than I am making it out to be. . Gotta get between the speakers to get the best sound. Gotta use GPS to find it.

So, The Shape I’m In, they played it a couple of months ago. Not a bust out but a rare and different tune. Correct? I don’t trust my memory as much as I used to.

Lisa in on vocals on shining star? Or had the fog set in by then?

Absolute crisp perfection, yea, I know the band you’re talking about. Great description. I’m guessing a step above just exactly perfect.

The Italians from Philly went to South Jersey and grew vegetables. Fresh Jersey tomatoes, available in Florida in February.

I’ll have to get that. My 34 year old cassette of that show, recorded off the dead hour on the radio. Should be an upgrade.

I’m still blurry on Tuesday morning but didn’t Lisa have another tune, I forget the name of it, early on in the first set? That’s when the rain started. The harder it rained, the harder she sung, kept ramping it up to meet the rain. I was near the stage and everyone just kept grooving as if it was pouring down but not a drop on me. It could be a dream we dreamed but I am remembering the other one in there with Dark Star. The transition back into Dark Star was just exactly perfect. Finally caught my first ‘piece of my heart’ . Lisa does a fantastic job channeling Janis, along with channeling Donna. A star in her own right. I had as much fun as any other Dark Star show I have ever been to. The band is as dialed in as ever. Other players stepped in and covered for Eaton who was unable to sing. The opportunity in that gave us a great and interesting show. Great friends, a great time. Still blurry on Tuesday and I don’t mind.

I got an email from the venue today that describes parking as a nightmare. Any body have any insight to the situation?

They announce at the end of the show. Also, the announcement might be that it’s an elective, a set list that hasn’t been done before.

Got tickets, schedule clear for Baltimore. Can’t stop the train, you gotta let it roll!….

Interesting placement of the weight but after singing the opening lines to myself in my head, it probably worked just fine.

Maybe you had too much, too fast….

Interesting. Overrated?

Ok, now my feet are sore just from reading Help/Slip/Frank second set closer. Wow!
