Feeling a little janky tonight. Some Rolling Stones doing Respectable in '78, a rehearsal for a performance on SNL.

It was 1990, give or take, I don't remember When the news of revolution hit the air The girls hadn't even started taking down our posters When the boys started cutting off their hair

David Bromberg sits in with Tuna at the Vic in Chicago (1986)...for a little Rider jam.

I'm feeling so low, I'm tore down...Some Clapton doing I'm Tore Down for an unreleased documentary, Nothing But The Blues by Martin Scorsese.

Glad I'm hitting the road for the next two weekends. I need to get away for a little time with old traveling buds & some musical therapy. ABB doing Midnight Rider at one of the many Beacon shows.

Speaking of the road, my mind keeps returning to this night, 4/1/93, it is one of my happier memories. Just learned the guy we stayed with passed away a couple years ago. Besides Barney the Dinosaur playing bass with the band, the other highlight was the encore, the Beatles' "Rain." No video on this one, just the soundtrack...though I thought I'd share a picture.
When the rain comes, they run and hide their heads. They might as well be dead...
RIP, Max, we love you.

Some more Dead just because I feel like it, and the songs fit my uneasy mind...uneasy because of a woman of all things. Don't she know I'm too old for these games?
Test me, test me Why don't you arrest me? Throw me in the jail house 'til the sun goes down 'til it go down
I had to move Really had to move That's why if you please I am on my bended knees Bertha don't you come around here anymore

The wheel is turning and you can't slow down, You can't let go and you can't hold on, You can't go back and you can't stand still, If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will...

Always used to love it when they played Stones songs too...from the last run at Alpine Valley.
...I used to love her, but it's all over now...

There. I think it's out of my system now. Thanks for listening, & thanks to those of you who've helped to keep this fantastic thread going.
You all rock.

This is where all the muso's hang out, no doubt about it. Love the Dead, and Vault man....great versions. Cheers. A broken Heart is the worst fecking thing that can ever be inflicted upon a Man, we've all been there....been through that. Point being, aye....Took me 3 years to recover. I know.
This was my 'break up' song, after cohabiting for 7 years (living in sin, I know...lol. Oh Lord have Mercy)
She was a firebrand. No doubt that is why I loved her so much, little Spitfire, with a worse temper than me. That's saying something. Always was a sucker for a Lass with a wee bit fire in her belly. Chalk and cheese, and never the twain shall meet. Happy times too though, and I remember em well. No animosity, amicable parting. If you've ever really loved someone though, you Always will.
I feel almost guilty posting this, but life goes on Vault.......and Jesus Christ look at those pins!
Hope you and her can somehow work it out Vault, otherwise just cut loose man. Best wishes.....sincerely.
Right, this is just a flying 'drive by' visitation, and I haven't really thought it out.
Hmmmm. I do love this song though. 'Ocean Colour Scene' from Brummieland with 'The Circle'. For all those who ever grew up on a sh*thole sink estate, watching the world go by....this ones for you. It's genuine, and from the heart. Great vocals and lyrics too, and the band (though not a big fan generally) put a lot of more successful bands to shame with the quality of their musicianship. It's acoustic. Acoustic jams are real as Piper will tell ye.
Give it a try, you might be surprised.

I'll leave ye with this, doesn't make much 'sense' (quite deliberately).....and paradoxically it sums the journey all up. Stream of consciousness, the Human Condition.
Thanks, Biggles & piper, "complicated" seems to be the only relationships I'm able to develop with women. This one was especially so, and I went into it knowing that it might end up being too much for me to handle. I knew I needed to be prepared to walk away, and that seems to be what's happening. No worries though, as I mentioned, I'll be on the road the next two weekends with some old touring buddies. We'll be taking in some shows here in KY and up in Chicago. That sort of thing always sets my mind aright, it never fails.
Felt like some more Petty & the Heartbreakers. There's a nice featured show at Wolfgang's Vault from the Winterland back in '78. The link will take you to "American Girl," but you can watch the entire show from there. Video's a little grainy but the sound is real good. Enjoy.

Maybe a little Dylan too. From the Bootleg Series; Rolling Thunder Revue..."Simple Twist of Fate."
