    I didn't get a smartphone until 2018. I'm a really on the cutting edge, I tell ya. First adopter and all that. At least there's running water. I have one of those record playing machines too. Very cutting edge in 1951.

    1974-05-12 Very hot so far, I'm up to the "meat" i.e. Truckin' etc. If they pull that off well I'd say it's a superior show. I don't remember ever listening to this before.

    OK, when you put it that way it makes sense.

    I always thought of it as a third-rate entry in the 'self-referential band anthem' category that does moderate service as a set 1 closer. :laugh:

    In all seriousness, I'm a well-wisher towards that song, in that I don't wish it any specific harm.
    That's you? I was at the library with my kids this morning, before I saw this post, and pulled out my stupid phone and that was the first thing in my feed. I'm glad you put this reminder, the next time I took it out that article was not on the list anymore.

    Then after I read it on the home computer, every time I pulled up Google on the spyphone it was on the list again.

    We are about the same age, I'm from the NYC suburbs, my school was crawling with hippies and GD-loving preppy-types, among the guidos and gangstas.

    Also went to high school in the '90s. Mostly just the typical jocks, geeks, and average boys and girls. I think there were maybe six hippies in the whole school.

    Oh, and the one goth guy. Can't forget that goth guy. He was pretty cool, black lipstick and mascara aside.

    That's cool. I was stumped by We can Run, I had to look up the setlist.

    What's remarkable, from the bits I sampled anyway, is how little what one might think of as "rhythm guitar" he plays, if we consider that carrying the rhythm; Weir seems to be sort of playing around in the rhythm but not really carrying it.

    Other than some early examples of Lovelight, Bertha, et al, Weir never really carried the rhythm. Phil didn't either. Keith sort of did and the drummers were probably as close to a traditional role of rhythm section anchors as anyone. The result was the crazy conglomeration that we know as the GoGD.

    I went on a three-week vacation to Thailand in 1982 and stayed for four years.

    Only have time for disc one tonight, but someone should be listening to this on its anniversary. :shrug:

    Might as well be me.

    Is it me or is the GTH version of Althea the gold standard for GD studio material? It’s perfect in my book. The recording style/sound is very reminiscent of the time, sure but there’s something quite special to it.

    Dave’s Picks 31 has sent me on an Althea rabbit hole tonight. The live one on the 2003 remaster from RCMH 1980 is amazing as well. Now listening to the Go To Nassau one...
