How bout some BAD quicksilver now

Agent Peter:

In the Brent era, Bob's voice was totally shot and Phil wasn't singing for most of it. Plenty of shows from back then were flat as a pancake until Brent added some energy to the stage.

Will do. Thanks Jeff.

Jeff - Thanks for showing up on a week when many a DJ bailed, and thanks for playing Jorma, whose voice does not suck.

Couldn't imagine being anywhere else tonight. Thanks, Peter.

can i make a request for "Cross the Breeze" by Sonic Youth??

You can make all the requests you like, Sean, but I will not honor them. Sorry.

Kev in norfoc:

Yo Jeff. It's rare that I get to listen live (just tuned in- not sure if I should be sad I missed the Dead spin it not, based on the board). Anyhoo, thanks for doing what you do - always enjoy jammin to the archives.

Hey Kev: Don't mind the comments, it was a great GD cut as I don't fuck with anything but...Thanks for joining in

For a brief moment, I thought this was Bobby Beausoleil's "Lucifer Rising".
  12:34am
Eartha Lime:

Saw Richard Thompson on the 13th. Show was really great as usual. But he would not play Jorma's Hesitation Blues. Did play Marty Robbins' Big Iron.
  12:35am
Kev in norfoc:

Yeah, Jeff - you always seem to bring the dope shit. And that ain't no bull, brother.
Avatar 12:35am
Jeff Conklin:

Was that the request show, Eartha? What did he say about Hesitation Blues? Any other deep cuts played?
Avatar 12:38am
Jennifer_PNW:

The digital download on Bandcamp for "Peace in the Mountains" in $1,000...

@Jennifer: They do that so you have to buy the tape. You get a download with it.

Eartha Lime:

On the Richard Thompson show, yes it was one of the four in a row request shows. He laughed at the Hesitation request and joked about Northern California bands like that stuff is off the table, and then referenced Moby Grape as something wonderful (snarky British humor?).

You put your request on a little green slip and it goes into a bucket. He can pass the chosen slip to an assistant who prints the lyrics. He didn't choose my two minute sea chanty "Santy Anno" by Odetta.
