My name IS NOT James, and I DO NOT Live in America. in fact, there's no such thing! The Reality? Do You think you have a "Firm Grasp?" Reality... pfft! People with a firm grasp better get to letting go. Insanity... what is that? Society... Who says? and why? Ask Why... Why? You already know... Don't you? ... Didn't You? Who is that Voice inside your head? You know, right? NOPE. He/she may sound like you, but who are you actually?... Do You Know? Honestly? That voice may sound a lot like you, but is it actually me? Or him, or Them? I bet you feel you know! Maybe you do... You Don't. If You Think so, you must know you're you, you're NOT... you're me... I'm You... I AM. You don't believe?.. YOU wouldn't.

Trey: “We actually have exercises that we do, where we work on improving our improvising as a group. It gets rid of the ego. It’s an exercise to get rid of the ego. And the more that we do it the more we find that our improvisations are less concerned with showing off flashy solos or whatever, and more concerned with making a group sound. There’s a feeling that we always talk about. When we went out with Santana, he had brought up this thing about the Hose. … where the music is like water rushing through you and as a musician your function is really like that of a hose. And, and well his thing is that the audience is like a sea of flowers, you know, and you’re watering the audience. But the concept of music going through you, that you’re not actually creating it, that what you’re doing is — the best thing that you can do is get out of the way. So, when you are in a room full of people, there’s this kind of group vibe that seems to get rolling sometimes.”

Mike: “It gets — It really starts to seem like It’s not the audience or the band. This Thing that gets rolling is It’s OWN Thing. When things are going really well, and a jam has taken off, there’s this feeling of motion that is created by the rhythm. And at that point my bass that I’m playing feels like this sortof vehicle, or like a hitch for me to hold on to, like someone would hold on to a um … Like if you were on a — I was thinking if you were on a ski lift, maybe. A chair lift. Or just something that would hook you on to the motion that’s going, and pull you along with IT.

The Grateful Dead - Dark Star

Classic GD Dark Star footage! Jerry’s playing a strat. I wish I was alive to have been there. I prolly would have quit my job there and then, to fulfill a life on the road trading my wares by day and co-creating magic (through dance) by night. Those were the days, or at least I think they may have been! :-D

The Grateful Dead: one of the greatest musical legacies of all time! We’ll call this one “Peakin’ in the seveties w/ Donna & Keith.” Great Shot!

Bob Weir~ “Weather Report Suite” [Acoustic Studio Demo]

Bobby Wier (of The Grateful Dead) Playing “Weather Report Suite” Before it was “Weather Report Suite”! There No Lyrics Yet, But the Arrangement is complete, and Gorgeously Performed.

I Love this sooo Much that I had to Share it.

Go Out and buy the remastered “Wake of the Flood” (its on there as a bonus track) I’m Sure ‘The Grateful Dead’ won’t mind me posting this (considering their loose trading policy).

Finally, I Just want to say Thank you To Mr.Weir… for a lifetime of inspiration, and for all the exposure to the Divine creative Flow you have extended to & through me my entire life!

Thank God For “The Grateful Dead”!
