Anytime I hear the phrase: "’60s “Primal Dead”... my interest is peaked.
Photos and SBD Matrix Recording: Joe Russo’s Almost Dead
For the last three-plus years Joe Russo has been discovering the music of the Grateful Dead from an interesting position: behind the drumkit of the Phil Lesh and Bob Weir-fronted Furthur. Russo admits to not being very familiar with the Dead’s songbook when he got the call to play drums in Furthur, but after all this time he’s up to speed. With that in mind he recruited four of his best friends to play two sets of Dead covers this past Saturday night at Brooklyn Bowl as Joe Russo’s Almost Dead.

3. But First
I will be listening to this, because even before this guy's gushing write-up, this has always been a "Top 5" Jam for me... warning: serious heads only need click onwards, as this jam is not for the feint of heart...
The Daily Ghost #61 5/22/2000 Radio City Music Hall, New York, NY
(From The Archives Release)
Ghost 5/22/2000Background (Set: 2 of 2 – Song: 5 of 6 – Show Gap: 2)
The first Ghost of the new millennium is one for the ages. It takes place in the last part of the second set. It is listed as a segue into Rock and Roll but this Ghost is it’s own beast. After archivist Kevin Shapiro released this Soundboard (SBD) during From the Archives 6/12/2009, he said “I don’t quite know what to say about that”. Sure hope I can come up with a few things.

Book: 50 Cent’s Playground, published November 1, 2012
Plot: After attacking a former friend with a sock full of D batteries, the teenage Butterball begins seeing a therapist to work through his anger issues. Overweight and an outcast at his suburban school, Butterball finds that his violence earns new respect with the cool kids. His father, who still lives in New York, also supports Butterball’s outburst. At a birthday party for his longstanding crush object Nia, the other kids goad him into trying to attack another kid. The plan goes awry when Butterball’s intended victim fights back with his friends. Humiliated and hurt, Butterball begins to question his life choices with his therapist’s help, finally changing his ways and starting to work harder on his passion for making movies. The book ends with Butterball’s newfound maturity paving the way for a better high-school career after he’s graduated from junior high.
And that boy grew up to be..... this guy.
9. Is It Better To Burn Out Or To Fade Away?
Or in the case of the Who -- why not just do both?
P.S. Was never a huge Mars Volta fan.. just sounded like weird noise to me.. and believe me, I am a huge fan of weird noise.
