My first experience with live music was in the summer of 1969 when I was all of 15 years old. I saw the Allman Brothers (the original group with Duane and Berry Oakley) on numerousblazing hotSunday afternoons in Central City Park in Macon, GA, and also the Dead in Atlanta. With MAYBE the exception of the Stones, everything else has been a comedown since.
"We now return our souls to the creator, as we stand on the edge of eternal darkness. Let our chant fill the void in order that others may know. In the land of the night the ship of the sun is drawn by the grateful dead."
Clearly the very finest of their studio albums. Except possibly for American Beauty… OrmaybeMars Hotel… Then again, there's Wake of the Flood… Oh, and Blues for Allah… Or whichever one is playing at the moment, really…
"We now return our souls to the creator, as we stand on the edge of eternal darkness. Let our chant fill the void in order that others may know. In the land of the night the ship of the sun is drawn by the grateful dead."
I'm 61 years old now, which makes no sense at all. But in 1971 I was 17 and that feels like yesterday. And that year I saw the Dead at the Fillmore East, How crazy was that… where did the time go?
I was fortunate enough to see them at a local club. I sat in the front row … I watched Jerry Garcia, most directly in front of me, 15 feet away … for almost 3 hours. Even better, before the show, we "shared" with some of them in the parking lot. … '67 …. they were hip folks. The cost to get in ? $5
I am grateful that I got to see th in Marin County back in the day.
I thought this was death metal from the name..
Where does the time go?
This album never gets old.
