And regarding the other music selections. Row Jimmy is my favorite Jerry tune to play (on my own). Love the simple but elegant chord progressions. Regarding the wonderful surreal lyrics, Do Paso is a square dance step. Jukebox in the original meant brothel, cheap tavern or low dive, before it became a device which plays records. "Two-bit piece don't buy no more, not so much as it done before" is inflation. Funny, in its first couple of years i used to find the tune very slow, in part because friends of mine thought that, were very vocal. On 3/20/77, i heard a rendition which turned me around 180 degrees, have loved it since. This was an excellent version.
Playing in the Band is a tune i often play on my own, did so New Year's Eve right after the Midnight Auld Lang Syne, segued into it. Very unusual figure of D, Csus2, G (or G/B) which then gets turned into D7, Csus2, G after the lyrics, and the D7 morphs into Dm7, totally changing the texture and entire feel. Likewise an excellent version. Great selections.
"Got some things to talk about, here besides the rising tide." Wonderful images, so evocative of the mood in late 1969, when Uncle John's was first broken out. The second tune i ever heard from the Dead, first heard it in October '70 on a ... jukebox at a place near downtown Oakland which had live music. i thought it was Crosby. Stills Nash and Young at first. :-) Then i got the album, my first Dead one. First time i heard it live it was the encore for my geddit show, my third, 8/24/72.
And i loved Wheel from the first time i started hearing it on FM radio in early '72, puzzled why they never played it. Till they started doing so when they started doing regular shows again in June '76, after a long hiatus (the "retirement"). Liked the earlier versions better, they gave it more attention, didn't seem to do so very much after the early '80s, except a few times.
I've now listened about half way through.
First, re the music. The lyrical content of "Just a Little Light" is IMHO the best Barlow/Mydland cooperation product. The music is of his tunes the most in the general Grateful Dead motif. The break right before the final lyrics would have made for a perfect platform for a longer jam, had they chosen to do so.
"Mud Love Buddy" is just humor on the band's part, it's a version of a jam called "Mind Left Body" which was done several times in '72-4, then surfaced once in Dec '83 and and once (with me there) on 10/31/84, then went dormant till this rendition. This version, like the first couple, was in key of D, the band then did it several times in A, once in E, before coming back to D in '83. Subsequent to 3/24/90., it got done several times into Dec '93. LOVE IT! Phil said "Oh, it's just 4 chords," but it's a really tasty and unusual chord progression, probably my favorite of all their jams. And this version is one of the very best.
EDIT: i got curious, went to the 12/30/83 Archive, and there is Mind Left Body, in the A version, though pretty damn short, under 2 minutes if that, nothing like 3/24/90, which is one of the longest ever.
Excellent point in the first segment, about the main result of "2020" is the forcing of all of society's interactions onto the Internet, the biggest acceleration of digital disembodiment ever. I heard from so many people crowing about how they were totally OK being able to see music without having to deal with bothersome human audiences, looked forward to doing away with messy cash,... And at least here in Berkeley, so many are still completely buying the "dangerous virus" narrative, even if some of them have come to hate the shots. And really painful, what they've done to our sexual world with Antioch by-the-numbers consent rules, MeToo,....
Second segment, regarding the Tokyo airport crash and the use of astrology to decipher events. Flight 800 was probably shot down, but in 1996 the Coast Guard was not a part of the Navy, in fact not even under the command of the Pentagon. From Wiki, "The U.S. Coast Guard operates under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security during peacetime. During times of war, it can be transferred in whole or in part to the U.S. Department of the Navy under the Department of Defense by order of the U.S. President or by act of Congress. Prior to its transfer to Homeland Security, it operated under the Department of Transportation from 1967 to 2003 and the Department of the Treasury from its inception until 1967.[9][10] A congressional authority transfer to the Navy has only happened once: in 1917, during World War I.[11] By the time the U.S. entered World War II in December 1941, the U.S. Coast Guard had already been transferred to the Navy by President Franklin Roosevelt.[12]" OTOH, perfectly plausible that a US Navy ship fired a missile in error or in a test-gone-wrong. Good analysis of how what happened at the airport cannot be "proven" to be a hoax via astrological charts.
