I just got a call from a friend wishing me a Happy New year and he reminded me about us going to this show 40 years ago! I did a search for it and found this sirte.... freakin amazing! The show opened with Jane Curtain of Saturday Night Live fame way before she broke onto the scene nationally doing some wicked funny stand up comedy and Livingston Taylor (James's little bro)doing some bits of stand up between sets...

What if some big-time rock band that had been around for 40 years had allowed fans to record shows, including soundboard patches, and then suddenly one day the band has been decimated by death and dissent but realizes there's money to be made in downloads of soundboards and PULLS ALL THE SOUNDBOARDS. A scary scenario, eh? Well, what if, by some miracle, an A+ soundboard got overlooked because it was kind of hidden in the shadow of 12-31-69, a classic New Year's Eve show.

Note to self: This is one of those "got lost in the jam" shows ...tight...cohesive...electrifying... but also moody and full of funk grinding ....p***-in-your-face scary zoning-out stuff only serious Dead nut-jobs understanding ....playful at timez ...gotta-f***-with-you serious at timez too.... Anyway...Prostate Cancer...1 month ago... newz to me...spread out through my body .... I sigh upward...into the winds blowing into my face ...Life is funny ... One day feeling tired...Go to Doctor....
