First Set Cold Rain & Snow Jack Straw G Blues Jam They Loved Each Other Little Red Rooster Scarlet Begonias Estimated Prophet-> Eyes of the World Feel Like a Stranger Ramble On Rose Looks Like Rain Let It Grow Second Set Bertha Crazy Fingers Deal Visitor Last Revised: 02/07/06 Next Jam: Wednesday January 7, 1997

• I had a lot of trouble getting my bearings from note one.  Just remembering the chords was tough.  Two chord songs are funny that way and can be more difficult to remember than 6 chord songs.  I think Kevin can back me on this.
• We jammed on the G blues riff I have been practicing recently.  I think I'm going to call it the "Mojo Riff."  Finger-picking it with reverb out of the Boogie wade a nice pop.
• As usual when we play it, the Love Each Other may have been the best song of the night.   That is one song where we can get a nice staccato groove going.
• Larry pooped out by the Let It Grow but we played the whole first set.

Spillboy and Freakboy did a spectacular job in doing a McDonald's run and bringing back the goods.  Lots of large sodas couldn't have been easy to carry but they deserve the deepest of thanks for doing that.  What a great place for letting us sit there and eat.  We almost lost the second set.  Paying $20/hour to sit on two couches relaxing and eating McDonald hamburgers.  Thanks God the music that we do play is good enough to keep us coming back.

• It was a place that teased us with delectable air conditioning but they turned it off too early any we roasted.  The morning started with Snow which dissipated by nighttime.  Therefore the Cold Rain & Snow was just hype and not based in any reality.

1997 has been quite a tumultuous year for Deadstein, but we seem to have made it through with freaky colors. Even with our comfy Gansevoort rug pulled out from under us, we landed on our collective feet (thanks to Scotty) without missing a step and were able to thrive. Deadstein has evolved an instinctual lust for survival, like one of those alien life-forms that always is threatening to take over Capt. Kirk's body on Star Trek. We refuse to die. Faced with an unthinkable fate of no "last jam 0f '97", we picked up the whole show and transplanted it, like David Crosby's liver, to 31st street with very little apparent effort and great success. God bless us. A new home, new equipment, the consecration of Spillboy, the progressive freakiness of Freakboy, and the high level of play are all things to look back on with pride as this year comes to a close. We can all feel good as we look forward in anticipation to a longer, stranger trip in 1998. Thanks Deadstein. Woo.

OOPS 1st official deadstein oops show, on erev new years eve to boot. A speedy recovery to Mrs. Gibson. Kudos to Larry M for coming up with space on such short notice. Drove by the phish kids on the way into and out of the city. Boy, I wish we had someplace to be like that. Now onto the music As Larry M said, remedial deadstein. Incredibly clean sound in the room. Took me some getting used to Larry G Red Strat but boy was I glad to have it. I felt totally naked and without my effects tray it was even tougher. The tapes have such stark vocals that they may have to be destroyed lest I never sing again. That having been said Kudos to all of us on our attendance and committment to further abuse on a weekly basis. Happy New Year

Amazing how this group we call Deadstein refuses to miss a beat. Scotty was dearly missed. There was indeed a clean sound and I enjoyed it. It was nice to have strong vocals in the mix for a change. A healthy and a happy to our extended Deadstein family. I am truly fortunate to know and be with all of you. Our unique weekly gatherings help make life special for me. Love and Peace.

So Admiral is dolishing the building on 10th Avenue that formerly housed "The Vault", a local club catering to the S&M life style. When the club was seized by the feds, they left behind the sound room mostly in-tact. All the mixers and good stuff have already been lifted by the general contractor, but the big PA bottom speakers are left. They are similar to VOTT. They can be shipped to 38th street on Monday....we just have to clean the bodily fluids off.
