lol, hippies don't smell... that's what sage is made for!  :lol:

BTW, one doesn't stop liking the dead. We just get older and get jobs.

Oops! Now we've gone and done it. The grumpy mod is sure to lock this thread now that its gotten so far off topic of all he holds dear.

What about salvia and the gr8ful dead, greg? (Probably a dumb question, but maybe it will keep the thread from being locked.) Doesn't the guy who used to play bass with jerry have his own band? Salvia trips are weird just like the dead music I've heard is/was/will be.

For non-dead heads:

In the middle of every Grateful Dead show was a cool musical interlude that was termed the name "Space". Now, the best way to describe this is a loose, trippy jam that the band does free form. Even being straight, you feel that your mind is going out in space. Even saying that is not doing it justice.

The first time I tried Salvia, I was listening to new age music and felt like a tree blowing in the wind where the wind was the music playing. Each time the music changed in tone I was gently blown this way or that. Too me it was too cool.

The Bassist, Phil Lesh was once quoted saying:
"I know, we'll go to the ocean and record the air there and then go to the desert and record the air there. Then, we'll mix it together!"

Yea, Salvia and The Dead is certainly a worthwhile topic that could prevent most any thread from being locked.

I was wondering the same thing Gr8ful, why did you say you "used" to be a dead fan?  Did you loose faith or what?  You don't believe those rumors that Jerry is dead do you?  Have you tried salvia while listening to music?  Especailly live dead music?  Like when this "Space" interlude you mention starts?

That is a pretty good discription, imo.

There is much synergy between salvia and music. Sally makes recorded music come alive, but even that is no substitute for partaking of this holiest of sacraments at a live musical event. Especially with a little 'lectricity throwed in for good measure.

Sometimes we find a crack to slip into, other times the band makes one just for the occasion.....

Heh, this thread is gonna get locked down.

I consider myself old now at age 37. Yet as far as musical taste, I still have a broad spectrum. Just this morning I was listenin to Widespread Panic and then flipped in my Disturbed CD. While listening to that, I saw Tool pop up on XM radio display and jammed to "Prison Sex" (nice jam, kinda sick when you think about it).

I don't get many times to jam out to The Dead like I used to since wifey doesn't like my tunes and jamming out to The Dead in rush hour traffic makes me drive too slow.

Maybe this will help. (If you haven't foundn it already.)

Pick a date. Almost any date. Then stream 'em all day long on your computer......

A set of speakers helps.

Hey 'pop, thanks for the link. I am listening to my first show, 11/21/69.

[lollipop guild]

No problem. Give a listen to 9-2-83 in Boise, ID. (just downloaded one of the finest sounding audience tapes I've ever heard from the night in question.)

According to his book, I'm pretty sure Phil and Jill took their first driving tour across the US during this run of shows. Romance was in the air and he was on top of his game. Sounds like the whole band showed up to play in the capitol of the 'tater state.

I get blocked from my proxy at work. Checked it out from home and loved the quality! Brown eyed women from an old '92 show in Atlanta was great! Thanks for the link. I now have something I can listen to on Friday nights while I drink.  :shock:

Isn't Phil's book a gem. Read it once for the story and again for the music in his writing. Long live Phillip Chapman Lesh!!

I will check out that show, though I am much more enamored of the years 67-72.

[lollipop guild]

Late 60's, eh? Well then, check out 6-14-68 as well. Its a downloadable audience tape, (as opposed ot the soundboards which can't be downloaded anymore.)

I burned the 83 boise gig this morn. What a gem  of an audience show.
