    Deadbase says they played "Samson" at 39 out of 41 shows in 1976.

    FWIW, in 1974 they played "U.S. Blues" at 35 out of 40 shows.

    Digging into a bit of the Oct 72 shows from St. Louis before bed. Damn Fall '72 is great.

    How did you search for that? Songs per year.

    No, you shouldn't. It's not a prerequisite. I can state that definitively.

    What'll kill you faster? Smoking every night or eating a hot fudge sundae every night? The trick, my friends, is to smoke, and forego the sundae.

  14. so wrong. The guy sings great, plays the hell out of the piano. But Hornsby's songwriting is what really puts him in the big leagues.

    Hot House is one of the best records of the 1990s. In any genre. That one and Spirit Trail are my favorites.



    That said, I didn't think any of the Grateful Dead live versions of Hornsby tunes were all that hot.The versions of his songs on The Strange Remain, the Other Ones record, worked well, though- "Rainbow's Cadillac", and "White Wheeled Limousine" (also found on Hot House, and on the late Rob Wasserman's Trios CD, with Branford Marsalis on saxophone.)

    "End Of The Innocence" (which Hornsby co-wrote) from Hornsby's live record, with Steve Kimock guesting on guitar, is heartbreaking. Hornsby covers "Lady With A Fan" on that record, too.

  15. Because when you smoke "postmodern 20+% THC" pot, it doesn't "creep", it hits you in the head with a shovel.

    < so, edibles

  19. Hornsby's "Sunflower Cat/Same Dour Cat (Down With That)", from Spirit Trail, featuring him sampling the opening of "China Cat Sunflower" from Europe '72:



    Okay, I'll quit selling Bruce Hornsby, at least for now. I really do think he's done a lot of underrated work. I admit, I haven't heard much since Spirit Trail that really grabbed me. But I slept on Hot House for a few years after I bought it before giving it enough of a chance to hear out the entire record. So it's possible that I'm missing something in his later work that I might catch up to later on.

    Hot House also features one of Garcia's very last- and best- guest appearances on record as a lead guitar player: "Cruise Control." I like the solo on "Across The River", but Jerry's playing on "Cruise Control" is even better. Signature Jerry Garcia, really. It's like he left it all out there. His contribution doesn't sound to me as if it was fixed in the mix, either, although that's a hard thing to know. Whether he nailed his guitar part all the way through or not, the tone, approach, construction of it are 100% Garcia.

  20. Not for me. The gummiez make me feel spritely. It helps that I bite them in half, sometimes into quarters. For some reason, much easier to calculate and titrate than the more traditional baked goods, with a faster onset.

    < okay, enough culinary talk

    It depends on the type of gummy. Sativa gives me anxiety off the charts. Indica is excellent. I can put away 8 in a day on a good day and never feel like I'm too high.

  22. It's all about the profile balance, for me. Thanks be to accurate and complete labeling.

    < I said enough culinary talk. but who listens

    I should get a pass, for the GDead related content.

    Definitely gotta watch the CBD levels depending on what you wanna do. The straight THC makes me anxious though. 1:1 or 2:1 are great. 4:1 to sleep.

    Just started the Peter Conners book about Cornell, and one of my absolute heroes, David Mancuso, pops up in Chapter 1! I didn’t see that coming. The book seems promising.
