I have been a bad blogger lately, I do apologize. Work has been crazy and it has been hard for me to keep up with The Dead. I am plannin on gettin the weeks song list and set lists up this weekend. Thank you guys for keep coming back. Lucab I am uploading the Rorchester JGB show now along with some others. I just have to remember to not close my browser. If you guys have any suggestions of other shows you would like uploaded let me know. I prefer not to upload any Grateful Dead, The Dead, Ratdog, or Phil since that is all on archvie.org. JGB and The Other Ones though I don't mind uploading. I also have a Talking Heads show that I plan on puttin up sometime soon. Until my next post (which will have NEW DOWNLOADS) thanks for reading.

The Monday Blues

This past weekend was one of the best weekends I have had in a long time. I saw The Malah play a free show in Paris Mountain State Park. They were the first band to play Music In The Woods this year. It was a really enjoyable set, except for those kids on the drums. Music In The Woods is a free concert series, all the electricity comes from solar power. If you decide to go remember there is NO ALCOHOL permitted. This wasn't a problem for me and my friend but it was for others. Then I went to a party after the show which was excellent. The drummer from The Malah made a cameo and we raged it till about 5 in the morning. The next day I went hiking at Paris Mountain down the Turtle Trail. This was sort of disappointing as it led only to the road. I have no idea why they would do that. Also I saw no turtles on this trail only frogs. Well now I have to go to work and only hope next weekend will be as fun.

Worchester 40 Years Earlier

The Grateful Dead played in Worchester 4-20-69. That would mean that The Dead in a way celebrated that great show with these past Worchester shows. However, The Dead didn't play Dark Star which was a stand out song from the 69 show. Just a little piece of history to go along with this tour.

200 Good Alligator Costumes....

This is an interview that was on Rockline on 12-11-89 with Garcia and Weir. I really dug this find. It was a call in show on the radio. The people that called in were pretty much in shock that they were actually talking to Jerry and Bobby. The questions were a mixture of humor and seriousness. I didn't include any of the songs since they were straight off the albums. I figure if you are downloading this you already have Built To Last and In The Dark.

Also as a bonus here is a JGB show from 95. I just got this and haven't got a chance to listen yet. The setlist looks pretty decent though.

Brent Mydland's Unreleased Solo Disc

This isn't too bad of an album. It is very early 80's late 70's lite rock. Either way this is hard to come by. This is for those people out there that need everything from the Dead. You will also recognize Tons Of Steel from this album. Also this has some filler with random Brent tunes that were played live with the Dead. I have been driving to work with this album on for the past couple of days.

Also I would like to note that Dark Star has went back down to 2 since it was in one show. So from now on if a song is played more than once in one show it will more than likely be counted as one. Another example is PITB that was played in tonights show. It was counted as one not two. If anyone disagrees with this counting method please let me know.

The Dead On Archive.org

I was planning on uploading all the shows. Now I feel that is almost a pointless task since The Dead have given permission for AUDS to be on archive.org. A huge thanks for this news is directed at Zooma. He posted about this in his blog Inspiration Move Me Brightly. If you haven't checked out this site you should. It is full of great music and fun thoughts.

PS This is only for The Dead from 2003 on. No SBDS or Matrix only AUD sources. Also nothing from The Other Ones. We can hope that will change right.

Tax Office Pisses Me Off Majorly Pt. 2

First off let me start this off on a good note. Make it a great note. I went to a "festival" last night. This is pretty much just a huge party in someone's back yard with a crapload of bands. The highlights were the opening band who was more bluegrass based. Then as the night went on there was a band called Ko from Charleston who was absolutely amazing. There were other bands there but none of them really stuck out. Also the only price was 5 dollars for a cup and you could drink all you want. They had 2 kegs and they were tapped around 11:30, the cops came around 1 to tell the bands they couldn't play anymore. It was a great time. Well, while I was there I got a phone call from a friend. She was wanting to know if I wanted to see the Dead tonight in Greensboro. The answer was yes. The spare ticket that her friends had was only 30 dollars. So far so good. Now for the part that pisses me off. The people that had the ticket needed someone with a car. I have a car but with an expired temp tag. A temp tag that I won't drive out of state because honestly I don't have the money for a ticket. So now I am not goin to see the Dead. Which I excepted a while back. The kicker is I could have seen and afforded it. Damn tax office being closed on Good Friday. Well happy Easter everyone.

Stupidity and the Tax Office

I am pissed off at the city of Greenville or is the state of South Carolina. So I went to pay taxes on my car today. I have temporary tags which expire on 4/10/2009. That is today. Apparently the place I have to go to pay the taxes is closed for Good Friday. The DMV across the street however was not closed. WTF?!?! The extremely kind lady at the DMV was telling me that the DMV had no idea that the tax office was going to be closed either. There were signs in the doors or anything saying that they were closed for Good Friday either. So now I am forced to drive with an expired temp tag for the weekend. I am also aware that I should not have waited till the last minute but my funds have been lower than normal. Which that is another story, in short I am entertaining the idea of looking for a new job or a second job.

On another note expect to see more concerts posted soon. I just received a crap load of Garcia stuff and I want to share the wealth. As a reminder, The Dead start spring tour tomorrow. So hopefully some more stats and more The Dead shows will be up on the 12th!!!!!

Megaman Vs. Metroid

I have always loved Metroid. Megaman was always a fun game, just a little hard. Well here is the combination of the two classic games.

Alright as promised some 2009 Dead shows.

There is also a 2004 show for you guys to download as well.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FN894XDM 8-19-04 Atlanta

The Inaugural Ball show was well....bad. Still how often does the Vice President of the United States speak in the middle of a dead show.

The acoustic show is really good. Although, Bobby does mess up Dire Wolf pretty bad. Check out Bird Song. It is 20 minutes of pure acoustic bliss.

The other shows nothing really stood out too much. Althea was good at Roseland. Cassidy I think was the best played song of the night but the set seemed more of a tease to me.

That Atlanta show I was at. It was the last Dead show until the Deadheads For Obama show in 2008. Down The Road is a standout song from this show. I like it when Mickey sings. Its a fresh voice and his songs are usually rather fun. Please comment if you download.
