Tuesday, January 26, 1999

We had a few guests of Scott's, Karen and Chrissy or something like that.  One of the spun and sang and when she said hello to us during the "You were gone" in the Looks Like Rain, we all had to see where that was coming from.  Actually, the first note was a shock and the rest of it was good.  Andy's friend Jason was also there and in a Zen sense, his cup is never empty of ice.  It's a miracle how he always has it.  Even at the beach.

Rich was kind enough to bring me some information on analog/digital converters to make high quality Dead bootleg CD's.  The benefits of all that stuff will be felt by many as the Gindoff tape collection finds its way to disk.  The first installment was made tonight as I gave people copies of downloaded boots turned into CDs.  It cool stuff.

Andy arrived during the Jack Straw and heard how loud we are without him. Loudness was a topic for the evening and we discussed playing softer ad how to do so, but like a Domino's Pizza, talk is cheap and the crust is just dough.

I think the Rooster, Peggy-0, Tom Thumb and Looks Like Rain were the closest we came to playing without the throttle floored.  To bad when its floored you can't go faster, slow down and steer.  All you can do is hold on for the ride because there is no enjoying the sights except for the exhilaration of the ride itself.  I got to enjoy the use of a fat slide Jason was able to snatch for Andy.    I liked it, it was smooth.  Wat did Jason care, he was enjoying some type of Architechtural Book.

Like a Road was hot  Can't write for too long becuase I have to clean my room because the maid is cominh in the morning.  All the CD burning has resulted in lots of piles of stuff all over.  Till we figure out when we can play next week.   Adios.

Deadstein is the coolest. I love the way without really trying, we can pull off a tune with enough energy and authenticity to take your breath away. It is one of the best parts of life. This week we had more female visitors (a la Scotty), one of them a kind, crunchy Deadhead. From the way she was twirling I can only assume she really liked it. I liked it too. We had her and Freakboy waving their respective "freak flags" like Marines on Iwo Jima. That is good stuff. With all the uncharacteristic female stuff going on lately, I just thought I would remind us of one of the "given" properties of a Deadstein member (besides being a freak): We urinate standing up. A couple of memorable moments for me were in the second jam of the Sunshine, the Drummers and I turned the beat around and laid back into a Zeppelin-Presence/In Thru The Out Door groove that was really cool. Trister must have felt it, because he started playing bendy pentatonic stuff that made the hair in my neck stand up. The Stranger was very professional and strong. LittleLarryB got some good vocal stuff going in the LLRain and Like A Road. He also gave us a tremendous Jack Straw before Trister got there. The core is solid. BrotPen with the big Sat Nite as well as plenty of caterwauling on the high parts during the Samson. TheGind has entered a new era in his career as Deadhead/Taper supreme by making and distributing freely his own bootleg CD's. God Bless that genius kid. The day of Deadstein CD's is near. Be frightened.

I don't know who's happier, Larry G. or Dave about Thursday. Just got off the phone with Freakboy and he was subdued about it. Hope all you sick boys get better.
