I've had the jones for some early mindbending Dead for awhile..
I finally decided this week was as good a time as any to feed it..
This week's Deadpod features fragments from two shows that took
place 43 years ago, February 2nd and 3rd at the Crystal Ballroom in
Portland OR. It's great to hear Tom Constantin on these tapes, I
especially enjoy him on the Clementine from the 2nd.. that show on
the 2nd also features the last time Bobby used these early
lyrics:
<i>"When I woke up this morning, my head was not in sight I
would ask the walls about it, but they vanished overnight I could
not think or spell my name, or fly there was no way and the heat
came round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day</i>"
The 2/3 show was supposedly one of the shows used in producing
'Anthem of the Sun'.. This features a rare 'Born Cross Eyed' and a
great 'Eleven'..
Hope you lose yourself in it.. :)
