Lost and underserved Grateful Dead history http://lostlivedead.blogspot.com/
Ok I take it back-I read the book, which was called Flowers For Algernon, and the movie was called Charlie.

Flowers For AI (just to age myself, I actually read the book, which was called something else—Charlie?)

I was in a now long-gone Berkeley pizza joint (Kip's on Durant and Telegraph), watching the Patriots game in one of the first big screens in town.

Could this be like a Star Trek episode, the one where Spock is evil, and it’s an Alternate Universe Warriors team?

A few years later I met someone who’d actually been in the band when it was called Rubber Duck (bassist Tom Glass), but even he had no idea that a record had ultimately been made.

No one knew about it. I found my copy in the 50cent bin in Rasputins Records in Berkeley about 1980. I was startled to see TC in the credits. No one I knew had ever heard of it.

Fito Parra standing tall, now in his 58th year as Canned Heat’s drummer (1967-current).

I can’t top Paula, but I saw the with The Bear (and Fito) at Chet Helms’ Tribal Stomp, Oct 1 78, and they killed it.

A very strange weekend indeed. On Friday June 6 Wayne Ceballos (AUM) played the first six numbers on Garcia’s rig. On Sunday June 8 there was too much juice in the apple juice, and Ceballos and Elvin Bisop covered for Jerry in the second set.

The business model is English and European soccer, which I believe followed a similar arc (I am no expert). What was initially clubs all over a country supported by their local fans became the playground of a few behemoths (Man U, Bayern Munich, PSG etc).

It’s good actually. Pretty big hit in its day

Well, Nicky H a genuine British rocker if anyone was…

They were English, but not rockets. Acoustic trio. Had a hit with an aCapella version of Neill Young’s After The Gold Rush

When I got a job in Manhattan, then a naive West Coaster, a kindly local explained "there are no stupid questions, just stupid people."

The Oceanside Blade-Tribune was on the case. From the July 19 edition, 90 arrested, 100 injured. Good times!

#PeterFrampton seems to have first visited Nashville when he headlined at the Fairgrounds Speedway on July 4 1976. He lives in Nashville now, and his plaque is on the Music City Walk Of Fame (121 S 4th st), where it belongs.

Phil Lesh's famously attributed remark (which he apparently never said) was that "Dark Star is always playing--and sometimes we get to hear it." Maybe the corollary is that the Velvet Underground is always playing, and sometimes we got to hear them.

I checked my notes. I actually attended this show. I really only recall Big Boy Pete. This was about two shows before I went Emeritus and basically retired from seeing Dead shows.

I saw The Tubes at The Boarding House (SF) Aug 75, pre first album. Out of this world, years ahead of its time. MTV live on stage, before there was an MTV, each song a live action music video
November 21, 2025 at 2:59 AM
Around this period (‘75), The Tubes would play country joints like The Palomino (in Hollywood) or Cowtown (in San Jose) as Cowboy Fee & The Heifers Dream. They played songs like “Rawhide” and this one

Rod Price, later of Foghat, was in Black Cat Bones

In a strange twist, Ray Columbus moved to SF in 1965, and led a psych pop group called The Art Collection. Recorded a bit, never made it, returned to NZ after 1967 or so.
