Brian D 3:31:32 PM
Not a far cry from 1973-74 Grateful Dead here
Dan Ruccia (host) 3:33:34 PM
@Brian That's almost *almost* enticing enough for me to set aside my longstanding "no Grateful Dead" rule. Almost...
Brian D 3:35:04 PM
Ya a long instrumental piece from the Dick's or Dave's Picks series from 73-74 would fit right in
Brian D 3:36:36 PM
Hope Mickey Sprawl returns one day... always good for the long out there stuff too as are Pat Clamour & Dan Octo & others...
Brian D 3:38:23 PM
Now you've done it! (Purdie's sign on his bass drum)
Brian D 3:45:31 PM
