I guess if I have to live another I could at least ask for a song request. How about some Dolly Parton?

I guess if I request Dolly Parton and get Molly Hatchet I'd be okay with that.

I'm going to catch up on the archive, as I'm hanging with the phish stream now - the light show of these phish shows is really insane.

Jeff Conklin:

did you just check in to say you're choosing phish over this show??
  12:11am
saucerful:

Happy new year everyone! Pantz - you'll request Dolly Parton and probably get Grateful Dead, so be prepared ;-) And hello to Jeff's dad...welcome!

Yeah, great set so far!

If I request Dolly Parton but will probably get Grateful Dead can I request Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane?

in a lot of ways Starship was better than Airplane

** happy New Years ** Jeff , Nick too everyone ,,, ( does not agree with Luisa wholeheartedly but I like the StarShip too .. )

This Starship is amazing, can't go with the better than Airplane...

A lot of ways? Gonna need more support on that claim.

.. not by the late 70's when FM starting to turn to crapola starShip anyway before that ,,,

Wasn't Starship in the Star Wars Holiday Special?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:26am
Tome:

think by like 75 I developed a taste for Tuna ( not the seafood kind [ not trying to be funny either ] )
  12:27am
saucerful:

Woah, Starship in a Star Wars Holiday Special? Bizarre. I can imagine that, though... In the past couple of years, I've probably listened to Blows Against the Empire more than most recent music.
  12:28am
pantz:

Starship in the Star Wars Christmas special was the height of their career, except for We Built This City. That goes w/o saying.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
  12:34am
saucerful:

Je T'ai Crue translates in Google as "I Tasted You"
  12:35am
Agent Peter:

Blows Against the Empire was a Paul Kantor thang. The record company added Jefferson Starship to the name but it was a different than the eventual Jefferson Starship, who were pants.

Number Six:

HNY, Jeff & All. Just think, now that Disney owns the rights it's only a matter of time till that "Special" turns up on Broadway.
  12:36am
DJ E:

@saucerful - yeah, it's one of those things that seems too weird to be true and most people seem to suppress it of they knew.

It is 9:36 here but we celebrated on New Jersey time, so HNY everyone.

@fleep - New Jersey time is how all things should be measured.

Smilty69:

Happy New Year, guys! Is it too late to request "Row Jimmy" by Grateful Dead?
  12:41am
saucerful:

@Agent Peter - yeah, Blows Against the Empire seems to have more in common musically with the Paul Kantner/Grace Slick release Sunfighter than with the later Jefferson Starship music.
  12:42am
fredr:

Great stuff this morning Jeff! Happy New Year!
  12:42am
Luisa24:

it was better at that moment... :)
  12:43am
Agent Peter:

Not the Monterrey PoP version?

(Everyone's a critic!)
  12:44am
Mark R:

I've never heard this version of "Section 43" before--only the one on "Electric Music for the Mind and Body." It's very similar but I could tell it wasn't the exact same version. This is one of my favorite extended psychedelic jams of that era.
  12:56am
saucerful:

yummy, lovely Neil Young "All my pictures are falling from the wall where I placed them yesterday."

Letting go of 2017 feels like a huge transformation into the unknown.

So did Adam Gadahn play on that BotE track?
Avatar 1:21am
Jeff Conklin:

No, he wasn't born yet.
  1:27am

Probably just as well.
  1:27am
saucerful:

It's amazing Phil Pearlman was the man behind Beat of the Earth, Electronic Hole, and Relatively Clean Rivers...definitely an eccentric genius. Sad about his son Adam Gadahn.
  1:29am
MoeLarryAndJesus:

I've still never heard the 2nd BotE record.

How about some Swamp Rats to cleanse the palate?

Well shit, getting in late and this is EXACTLY the show I wanted to hear
  1:41am

seriously you read my mind

8 months after THAT Port Chester show...

Jeff Conklin:

Ha, nice, Moneybags...
  1:44am
MONEYBAG$:

I was reflecting on the disorganized way I got into the dead, and this DS/wharf rat/MAMU was what I found in napster in the beginning
  1:46am
MoeLarryAndJesus:

I tuned in after the Temps Heureux. That's a great record.

Bad bob:

Isn't this against the rules?
  1:48am
Mark R:

Seems like it was a particularly hot night in Port Chester (or would you say this is just representative of a pretty good night, nothing special?) Anyway, they sound pretty hot to me.
  1:50am
Luisa24:

so pretty those jerry notes!
  1:51am
MONEYBAG$:

this is a historic show for sure... quality is in the eye of the beholder

@Mark: Overall the show isnt the hottest, but that jam is the best of the month IMHO
  1:53am

delicate transition. well played sir

Glad you played the best part then!

This show has been particularly hot for months.

surely just when I thought I heard just about everything there is this show , and new and familiar sound I love ,, the kind of show I would like to do same ,
  2:09am
MoeLarryAndJesus:

Tome, best thing about music is there is always something new.
  2:15am
MONEYBAG$:

There's always something new from 1972
  2:17am

It's new if you haven't heard it before or can't remember hearing it.
