"Me and Bobby Ace here are going to regale you with some old favorites"
Hey Jerry ? It is a long interesting story indeed how Phil was 'stuck somewhere' and soon you'll be able to play loud again. Is it really a coincidence though that several times this month of 12/69 members of the band were 'stuck' ;) I believe it was more a way of floating the idea of going acoustic, without confrontation. Almost the exact opposite of Dylan's going electric, which wasn't very popular at first with his fans. Dec. '69 was a prelude to some of the Dead's monster acoustic sets of 1970 which would come to define them, Bear's Choice, Workingman's Dead, American Beauty, NRPS etc. Brilliant ! 5*****
