economic meltdown and the Grateful Dead
if one goes to
http://www.archive.org/details/gd71-04-10.sbd.willy.8674.sbeok.shnf
you'll hear a grateful dead concert I attended at my college--Franklin and Marshall, in April of 1971. Having been to nyc the night before to see the latest Kurosawa film in the village, we stayed in the deserted dorm of a catholic prep school--the kids were on break. The next morning we headed to Lancaster, PA. Back to the dorm. Picked up my friend's brother and then collectively I imagine, 2000 people (at the most) filled the gym for New Riders of The Purple Sage and the Dead.
lots is probably worth retelling about that night but would be boring to the public I am sure...
what intrigues me is coming full circle from analog to digital..the analog recordings of my youth can now be digitized, uploaded, downloaded, etc....
hmmmm
listening to it now again...it is heralded as a great Jerry Garcia night...for guitar play...lyrics are a little muddled...
i am writing this in the shadow of wall street...many changes occurring
