eljr,
I love that scene from clockwork Orange.
When I was 19 I wanted to use that as a pickup line but I could never remember it. ( long time before the web)
 
most recently I have been listening to 8-9-95. Ratdog at the Hampton Beach Casino the night of the day Jerry left us. Man, 21 years ago. I have a beautiful DSBD file set of this if anyone is interested. The emotion from Bobby during Blackbird is incredible.
A little light reading.....

An Elegy for Jerry by Robert Hunter

Jerry, my friend,
you’ve done it again,
even in your silence...
the familiar pressure
comes to bear, demanding
I pull words from the air
with only this morning
and part of the afternoon
to compose an ode worthy
of one so particular
about every turn of phrase,
demanding it hit home
in a thousand ways
before making it his own,
and this I can’t do alone.
Now that the singer is gone,
where shall I go for the song?

Without your melody and taste
to lend an attitude of grace
a lyric is an orphan thing,
a hive with neither honey’s taste
nor power to truly sting.

What choice have I but to dare and
call your muse who thought to rest
out of the thin blue air
that out of the field of shared time,
a line or two might chance to shine —

As ever when we called,
in hope if not in words,
the muse descends.

How should she desert us now?
Scars of battle on her brow,
bedraggled feathers on her wings,
and yet she sings, she sings!

May she bear thee to thy rest,
the ancient bower of flowers
beyond the solitude of days,
the tyranny of hours–
the wreath of shining laurel lie
upon your shaggy head
bestowing power to play the lyre
to legions of the dead

If some part of that music
is heard in deepest dream,
or on some breeze of Summer
a snatch of golden theme,
we’ll know you live inside us
with love that never parts
our good old Jack O’Diamonds
become the King of Hearts.

I feel your silent laughter
at sentiments so bold
that dare to step across the line
to tell what must be told,
so I’ll just say I love you,
which I never said before
and let it go at that old friend
the rest you may ignore.

Notes:
Here's another nice audience recording by the same crew that did the San Diego show on 01-07-1978. This one sounds a bit warmer than the San Diego show, and perhaps not quite as in-your-face. And like that recording, the deck was stopped between virtually every song. In this case, there are some nasty jump cuts between songs where no music is lost, but at least one song ("Brown Eyed Woman") is clipped at the beginning. It's hard to tell, but "Sunrise" might also be missing a little bit from the beginning. I inserted on little crossfade in track 7 of disc 2, because it was just too abrupt. There is also a cut/tape flip in track 9 of disc 2 at about 07:44.
Otherwise, it's a nice companion to the soundboard that has circulated for quite a few years.

Donna and Bobby, for me. Like nails on a chalkboard.
I'm a completist; otherwise, I'd edit it all down to Jerry tunes.
 
Bob doesn't bother me very much, but Donna makes me want to stick icepicks in my ears. And I don't get it; the stuff she had sung backup on prior to joining the Dead was pretty good. What happened?

I have imagined many times how good they'd have been if Donna was replaced by a true singer with a powerful voice.
