Dude, great idea.
Hopefully that won't delay you from writing the definitive 100-page thesis on What's Become of the Baby? Not enough can ever be said about that one.

I would have liked to tackle the complete performance history of Day Job myself, but alas, it's just too complex for me; I'll have to leave that to the experts! I try to stick to the simple tunes myself.

Thankfully the keener minds among us are already taking this one on...

That would be 'Bonjour matelot' in this thread. WT I followed the link and found questions concerning my marital situation. What's a boy to think ?

It's the motto of the French Navy - 'To the water! It is time!' (A l'eau, c'est l'heure!)

Shortly followed by 'M'aidez ! M'aidez !' But we digress.

I've been enjoying this since lunch. Pretty typical '73, but there's nothing wrong with that, and it has great sound quality. http://www.archive.org/details/gd1973-05-13.sbd.partial.smith.miller.100239.sbeok.flac16

Nothing wrong with 73 at all, one of my favourite years at the moment - particularly November (a real treasure chest of a month) and December.


Just digressing a tiny bit further: our 'mayday' actually derives from 'm'aidez' - but you knew that!

[please, please, K-man, this is only in jest...]

I have often wondered about that name too...are there latter era DEAD songs for which it makes sense, I suppose? But still, it just seems odd to me too.

That's my work in progress- I've promised. But you can share the results of my early research:

"Keep Your Day Job"
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia
Copyright Ice Nine Publishing; used by permission.
Maybe you collect or maybe you pay
Still got to work that eight-hour day
Whether you like that job or not
Keep it on ice while you're
lining up your long shot
Which is to say
hey-ey
[Chorus] Keep your day job
Don't give it away
Keep your day job
Whatever they say
Ring that bell for whatever it's worth
When Monday comes don't forget about work
By now you know that the face on your dollar
Got a thumb to its nose and a
Hand on your collar
Which is to say, hey-ey
[Chorus]
Punch that time card
Check that clock
When Monday comes
You gotta run, run, run
Not walk
[Chorus]
Steady, boy, study that eight-day hour
But don't underrate that paycheck power
If you ask me, which I know you don't,
I'd tell you to do what I know you won't
Which is to say
Hey-ey
[Chorus]
Daddy may drive a V-8 'Vette
Mamma may bathe in champagne yet
God bless the child with his own stash
Nine to five and a place to crash
which is to say...
[Chorus, with added lines at end:] Keep you day job
Until your night job pays

"Day Job"
Recorded on
• Dick's Picks, vol. 6
First performance: August 28, 1982 at the Oregon Country Fair Site, Veneta, Oregon. "Day Job" appeared as the second set opener, preceding "Man Smart, Woman Smarter." "West L.A. Fadeaway" also appeared for the first time at this show.
Hunter, in his Box of Rain, notes that
"This song was dropped from the Grateful Dead repertoire at the request of fans. Seriously."

This was the funniest subject line in a long time...and you know, between this, LiA's post above, and his humor in the post below (after my rant), I do believe that a real serious sense of humor is hidden among the archives of amazing insights and information he has "up there"...nice to see it. Pretty soon we'll reduce him to back and forths with Dire, and oh how the mighty will have fallen.

Bwaaahhaaa...or some such...how else could I respond to the comment somewhere about "the only professor..."? We got professors coming outta our ears around here. In a good way;, oh, and to be sure--any time LiA wants his honorary doctorate, I am happy to pick up a few at the uni.

Dire proves this everyday...but, maybe that was the school of hard rocks he was telling me about.

Great job! But seriously why does everyone hate Day Job? I thought it was a great little uptempo set closer, but as far as I can tell everyone else hates it.
