“Feel So Bad” is a Little Milton song. I remember hearing it in the late ’60s on KMPX – not sure if that was Milton’s version, but it was a good one. “Feel so bad, like a ballgame on a rainy day.” According to Jeff Courouleau in the chat room, Elvis Presley covered it on his “Something for Everyone” album. And Tim Bogert said after the song that his old band Cactus used to do it, too. And: Freebo’s tuba solo on “I Found Love” – what a treat!

David Play Samson
Life’s good! My brother heard you thank me (he’s in NH), and he wants you to know that HE’S the pretty one!! I loved your love song to Rita! And I’m glad to hear you calling her your bride again. You’re such a romantic! I hope all is well with you and yours–sorry to hear about your friend with ALS
You brother is more beautiful than you? I am: skeptical.
Rita and I are still pretty dang blissful after 11 years.
Awwwww….. :)
’74 is always tight with me…
Hey speaking of Norfolk, Virginia, just found out that Ratdog is coming through there in March. Yay!
Thanks to everyone @ KPFA for a long day and a great time. DG, great show!!! Your work is perfect!
David, much earlier someone mentioned the Augusta ME shows from 1984. I can doubly attest to the wonders of it!! Oh such fun!! Would love it if you could find it for future broadcasts
I probably have it somewhere in the unsorted heap.
David:
The long trip continues. Thank you.
Do you have any out-takes from the many summer concerts at Frost Ampithreatre?
Jerry always liked to come back to his town (and Pig Pen’s) where he used to teach guitar in the local House of Music store.
Palo Alto Brand
I don’t have anyhthing from the Frost with me tonight, but I have a zillion pleasant memories of seeing the GD there.
Also: the only time I have ever thrown up from drinking alcohol was at the Frost in 1971 or so, and I swear to god this is true: Eric Burdon and War were doing “Spill the Wine.”
I’ll chime in again…’74 means Wall of Sound era…
I was not disappointed, but this is a board right?
I am knd of wondereing what the best sounding ‘aud.s’ of “The Wall of Sound” era are like to hear….
I guess I could take a chance on free downloads…
any suggestions?
Jerry Moore’s audience recordings of Miami 6/74 are terrific.
Thanks.
I’ll look ‘em up, in fact -I just looked at details for his tape of June 26 Providence, RI
Or back in 1971, was it Ripple you were drinking which we all learned to avoid? I’m sure that Eric, being a good English lad was not thinking of our Central Valley plunk when he wrote that song. And unlike the Greek, Frost has all of those trees close to the where we sat so you didn’t have to miss much of the show.
I still complain to the University for stopping those great shows where there was room to park.
Hello to Dead fans around the world. This is John in Sydney & I have been enjoying the music for the last 5 hours. This is my 3rd (or 4th) marathon & I nearly missed it as I assumed it wasn’t on till Feb like last year and haven’t had a chance to listen to DTW for a few weeks. It has made my summer Sunday afternoon as we prepare to watch the final of the Australian Open tonight. Any tennis fans out there? You must see Marcos Baghdatis from Cyprus play (no, I hadn’t heard of him either till this week). Unseeded 20 year old, he beat Roddick, Ljubicic & Nalbandian this week & takes on Mr Federer tonight! And, unlike most male tennis players these days, he actually has a great personality.
Lovely Stella Blue, etc. Thanks, David. I’ll throw another prawn on the barbis for ya. (We don’t say “shrimp.”)
Hello, John! I knew we’d hear from someone in Australia eventually!
Man, I had such a fine time in your country a few years ago – can’t wait to get back.
St. Michaels, if I recall correctly, it was Red Mountain Pink Chablis. And yes, the bushes were close enough that I could lurch over there, unload my stomach, and go right back to enjoying the music.
Total for the day: $21,522
Yay us!!!
samson?
David, I have just opened a Tyrrells Verdelho 2003 from the Hunter Valley to go with dinner & the tennis. Beats the shit out of Pink Chablis any day!
Yes, we’d love to have you here again. Let me know if you do.
I don’t think there’s any way to get to Samson in the time that remains, daddy. Remember: “Can’t do it all!”
Downunder, my wife is the oenophile in the family, and I know she’s fond of many Australian wines.
daddygreenjeanz, have you ever heard the original version of Sampson and Delilah by Blind Willie Johnson? Same song, but it’s called “If I had my way i’d tear this building down”. from 1927. words can’t describe it.
That Blind Willie Johnson version is amazing. What a voice!
Rev. Gary Davis’s ain’t half bad, either – and you can find that one on The Music Never Stopped: Roots of the Grateful Dead.
Oh hell yeah, I think Dark Was The Night has got to be the most haunting piece of music I’ve ever heard, Skip James’ Devil Got My Woman is up there too.
Yeah… one more Saturday Night….
I mean Sunday morning! ; )
She’s on the right track. This Verdelho is excellent. Great “Saturday Night” too with loads of energy..
Have you had Canadian Serena Ryder on your show? She is gigging in Sydney again next week – good singer.
a sort of funky casey jones, im liking it
DownUnder:
I’m your Pacific Rim neighbor in California (Palo Alto) but believe me we have all graduated from that Pink Chablis. But I have just returned from your Oceania neighbor country, New Zealand where they LOVE the Dead and where they are making some stunning red wines. Unfortunately VERY few reach us here on the Dead Coast of NOrth America.
David, you must go there. It is a paradise, even better than West Marin and Kiwi fruit is almost as good as Osley’s finest!
Brand
I’ve never herard of Serena Ryder. I’ll look her up.
I’d love to go to New Zealand, StMichaels. My new manager has some conenctions in Australia and thinks he might be able to get me into a festival there in December.
David:
Great work for this unique radio station. Is this a new high number for the marathon?
Also, I’ll put in a plug here to all on the Internet for the music that KPFA plays on Sunday afternoons. It was Jerry and Old and In the Way that turned me on to that style of music. Can we ever honor JG enough for all he has given us?
Wow.
pretty….
And now Sing Me Back Home. 2 Wows. Please don’t forget that we love your doing this special program for all of us and KPFA.
By the way, when you go to New Zealand tell them you are from No. Calif.
I knew you couldn’t go 16 hours without a Dark Star.
Dunno about their reds (except for their pinot noir) but the Kiwis do make stunning Sauvignon Blanc. I bought one yesterday. NZ definitely worth a visit – the landscape is so completely differently different from Oz. I’m amused that wine has sparked more comment from you Yanks than the tennis – quite right too!
I must go and have dinner & watch Marcos – fish & chips or “fush & chups” as the Kiwis say.
Is that really Dark Star for sitar? Terrific!
Thanks David for yet another incredibly great show! Good night good morning everyone… Nice to hang out with you all again…
StmMichaels, the KPFA GD marathon peaked at just under $50,000 several years ago. But this was a perfectly respectable result.
DownUnder:
The Sitar is to tuck us nicely into bed as it is 12:50 in the morning here.
Yes I went to NZ in search of Pinot Noir (I grew up in Santa Barbara County and if you saw the movie Sideways you will understand) but was amazed at all of the reds. Had a Cab-Merlot from Hawkes Bay last night with friends. They all thought it was stunning. Definitely worth the short flight to your neighbor to the east.
Peace to all,
Good night
David Gans making me stay up till 4 in the morning listening to Grateful Dead. What a crazy, amazing, long strange 16 hours it’s been. Solo Brent was a treat to hear, Olatunji was cool too. Great selections all day, I appreciated every note of it. Thank you David and everyone else who made this possible. Can’t think of a better way to spend 2/3 of a day then with David Gans and the good ol’ Grateful Dead. Looking forward to getting Greatest Pump Story! Take care everybody. Peace.
No, we can’t honour JG enough.
And thanks also from England – 36 years sharing in this great music but my first time listening to the show live from across the ocean … just got up and returned to hear that great version of ‘Bring me back home’ – many many thanks David

It was so nice gathering Party for Jerry’s 10th Memorial.
I did see Sideways so I get your drift.
Baghdatis was just broken Federer.
http://www.australianopen.com/ if anyone’s interested. Marcos alrteady has the ultimate accolade – he has had a souvlaki named after him in Melbourne!
Good night and good luck.
Deadhead good call on this Austin City Limits Panic show.
So downunder what was the deal with the ladies finale?
Nabe, I would love to play in Japan!
