Saw this show live at the City Ctr in NYC ~’88 (maybe). It was amazing. What a talent - what a treat

Sure - for us mortals. But for some life is also measured in fullness not necessarily just duration. These folks had a helluva ride

Taking another swing at the musical trajectory - comparing Misunderstanding with San Jacinto a short time later - What a contrast

I suppose it’s better than 3x3 which gives us Paperlate. Well into their syrupy pop-phase by the 80’s. They certainly churned out hits but the original composition and sophistication was the causality

filé is good in the song but is okra better in the pot… this debate brings the heat in the kitchen like a good Cajun stew should. Jam - Cook - Enjoy

Great (protest) song. I’m fortunate to live very close to where this originated and the current Guthrie Ctr. Cool slice of history and a tradition in our home.

Probably the best version of Dancing in the Streets commercially available- The jamming on this whole release is just incredible. Those lucky enough to be there were also treated to epic Allman Brothers. Shout out to the Bear

It’s the easy cruise back that’s so different from the past

There are a handful of cities in the US that standout - San Francisco is way up there. NYC too of course but it’s my home town and another story

Always a treat to see a favorite- especially in a good venue. This one upcoming is a wishlist but too soon and too far…. Someday, until then there’s vinyl

Agree but you can’t overlook any live cut of Estimated Prophet by the Dead - esp ‘77 era !! Jerry usually had lots of fun with these jams

Got to see David a couple times - 1st time decades ago then more recently with his wife’s band - super talented and a whole lotta fun

NO - So much good music, food, and culture, with a little sorcery & mysticism stirred in. If you look at it just right.

I’ve had three - two crushed us when they left too soon. Did get the chance to double up for a spell. Glorious creatures - beyond anything

Should be easy enough- their coffee sucks

Essentially a greatest hits album - A culmination of talent and creativity. So much good music on this one. (Nearly 50 years years old ‼️- Can’t believe that)

Smoking show - Bluesy - wicked version of Good Morning, School Girl. This show captures the Band during this period- so well.

Funny - they never put “Paint It Black" on my Captain Crunch

Loved “record” shopping- I could spend hours browsing the racks, reading labels and seeing who produced or sat in on various albums… There was also the rush home to tear off the cellophane and crank up the 1st listen. Huge loss overall

His work with Silkroad Ensemble has been fantastic - Yo-Yo created a great project that continues to grow and evolve. Got to see a really good performance with him at Tanglewood a few years back under the stars

When this show was released on VHS years ago- I watched it, rewound it and immediately watched again. For those of us who missed them live - it’s an amazing film.

Landmark album - Cosmos reminding you it’s all connected

They don’t come Northeast enough - really fun band. Would love to party ‘with’ them at a show someday.

The explanation is increasingly obvious - what’s really needed is a complete rejection and rectification (or maybe stop pretending and just own it)

I was on Wall St that morning - so many hero’s that day. Across the spectrum. Many unsung who were just going to work and found themselves in a terrible situation and tried to do their best. It felt different looking back - we really seemed to come together especially in NYC.

May I make a contribution?

Very nice hills a little further west from there

Saw them a couple times - the scene was always the best part, but they never really clicked for me. Left me wanting more — I think what Grahame’s doing is somehow more authentic and really captures the vibe and the musicians are often fantastic

A classic - Allan Holdsworth is great on this album- I prefer the more sublime Cosmic Messenger but both are keepers

East Coast here … With a word or two on Tedeschi Trucks Band @Tanglewood MA on Tuesday 🔥. Venue aside (‼️), the band was peak. Versions of “Ohio” and “Dreams” were so incredible. Derek is a master and Susan is a badass - what a frickin’ show.

Add to that Smokestack Lightning & Good Morning Little School Girl (Big Boss Man etc etc ) what a legend with Jerry playing along

Great trifecta- but stayin’ on the bus, I have to go with:

Anders has kept great company over the years. So much really good music from Galactic to North Mississippi Allstars and on and on just to scratch the surface.

Rare treat to see them live last year in an awesome 100+ year old theater in W Mass. Jelly Joseph was with them and they all really brought it !

When you widen the aperture enough, the music you let in can be awesome- Been streaming Stick Figure Free Flow Sessions genre - Get lots of Arc De Soleil along for the ride

Grahame gets it - Seen him a couple times in the Northeast. His Unbroken Chain shows at the Capitol Theater really capture the vibe. He’s for real

Had Equinoxe on 8-track in my car. I remember a couple harrowing times blasting it on the LIE

The series finale for the brief show “Rectify” was fantastic (2016). The series was really well written and acted but it was very edgy - The ending was so perfect- one of the best imo

VC @hard2hndle.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
Agree - This show is really worth a listen. Meanwhile on a different 🎶 - Absolutely stunning afternoon today for Beethoven Symphony No. 9, Ode to Joy at Tanglewood to close out the classical season. The BSO does an incredible job with this piece. It’s an amazing experience

When I need a howling Panic jam - I often reach for Rebirtha from Night of Joy (back in ‘03). Dirty Dozen is a fun addition to the live set too

This whole album is great - it manages to offer so much while also being incredibly relaxed and chill. I keep this one close

Collin’s did a great job with Suppers Ready and his talent was also obvious throughout Trick’ and Wind and Wuthering among many others - Both artists excelled after the breakup

Robinson must’ve been a great addition. See them @Tanglewood in less than a month- hard to compete with the Beacon - but great venue in the trees.

Railroad Earth has done a good job with Genesis - the original will always be special though
