Sad indeed. Here is a list of the Dead song lyrics he penned;

    A Little Light
    Blown Away
    We Can Run But We Can't Hide
    Picasso Moon
    I Will Take You Home
    Gentlemen, Start Your Engines
    Hell in a Bucket
    Throwing Stones
    My Brother Esau
    Feel Like A Stranger
    Lost Sailor
    Saint of Circumstance
    Easy to Love You
    I Need a Miracle
    Heaven Help the Fool
    Estimated Prophet
    Lazy Lightnin'
    The Music Never Stopped
    Finance Blues
    Let It Grow (Weather Report II)
    Black-Throated Wind
    Walk in the Sunshine
    Looks Like Rain
    Cassidy
    Mexicali Blues 

You're just scared of how real mine is.

Woohoo!

 See you on the dance fields...

Another cool read

Here is a great read about the Summer Jam from 1973, I look forward to returning this summer

Yes, better than decent for certain. Umphrey's addition would be great.

'Tis the season for your lists and I look forward to this years lists with the influx of lurkers surfacing in the last few months. From what I am gathering, its never been easier for people to track what they are listening to and how much via Spotify and such. I am still stuck in the past with regards to any sort of tracking, I just stroll through my folders to remember 2018.

Albums

Chris Robinson Brotherhood - Barefoot in the Head (these cats continue to lay down solid music and are my favorite live band going these days)

Lukas Nelson & the Promise of the Real - Lukas Nelson & the Promise of the Real (my fav song this year featuring Lady Gaga, didn't think I'd ever say that)

Hiss Golden Messenger - Hallelujah Anyhow ( I really discovered their entire catalog this year which is definitely worth a review if you haven't)

Willie Watson - Folksinger Vol. 2 (a beautiful rendition of Samson and Delilah as well as other classics)

The Barr Brothers - Queens of the Breakers (this is their first release that has really grabbed me since the slip, seeing them live this year also helped)

The Deep Dark Woods - Yarrow (it sounds very similar to their last albums, as they say, why mess with a good thing)

Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile - Lotta Sea Lice (love their backing band, Courtney is definitely channeling Lucinda)

Antibalas - Where the Gods are in Peace (a welcome return of an album after no new music for 5 years)

Some Live releases

Pigeons Playing Ping Pong - The Great Outdoors Jam (great live album, the opening jam Poseidon is how to open a show)

Marco Benevento - Woodstock Sessions (this is also his first release that has grabbed me, go figure, its liveish)

The Tedeschi Trucks Band - Live from the Fox Oakland (complete with a stunning DVD, this is also one of my favorite bands going these days)

The Wood Brothers - Live at the Barn (I love Oliver Wood's voice and it comes across live well)

Still need to Listen to albums

Yonder Mountain String Band - Love Ain't Love

Infamous String Dusters - Laws of Gravity

Spafford - Abaculus - An Improvisational Experience

Deer Tick - Vol.1 & Vol. 2

Dead Man Winter - Furnace

Blitzen Trapper - Wild and Reckless

Old Albums new to me

Chico Hamilton - The Master (this gem from 1973 features most of Little Feat and apparently helped them find their r&b groove)

Robert Palmer - Pressure Drop (most are familiar with Little Feat backing him on 1974's Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley, they also back him on this album in 1975)

Indeed. It was a pleasant journey.

Ha, I believe it's the guy in front of me holding up his beer or its another photo dimension I like to slide in and out of.

So sad

I always loved seeing him taping.

A tragic loss for so many.

I too went to that Buffalo show.

First time in the USA since I was denied in 2002.

A great return!!!

LIkely the best jazz concert I've seen in a decade.....I didn't want it to end!

Nice. I was looking for you and didn't see you and thought they maybe didn't let you in. Great news.

I just saw their show in Buffalo on Wednesday night. Unbelievable musicianship across the stage during all 3 sets.

So many notes played. Its kind of hard to put the experience into words.

Damn that is a crowded week for the Toronto concert schedule..... Kurt Vile and Courtney Barnett, Arcade Fire, Elliott Brood, Bela Fleck, GnR.

Jimmy Herring and John McLaughlin as well as Dopopod are the same night in Buffalo too.

Blueberry Hill was the very first song I ever did Karaoke to as a young lad.

Our own Blurry managed to raise over $6000 via The Hip for some good causes.
