PSLs: Deep Purple/Grateful Dead - oooof!

Good evening brother Chris and a warm welcome

The Dark Star I know best.

The best ever? No.

The definitive? No.

But the very first. In many ways the benchmark.

[Spock!]

Side 1 is out of this world!

The Dead create their own world for others to explore.

Agreed on all points ( which are, of course, well made)

Phil was possibly my favourite of the band. Outspoken, intelligent, sensitive.

Have we seen the documentary on the Rex Foundation, which gave Dead money to neglected modern classical composers?

Agreement seconded.

Haven't really read that much about the personalities of the band - or, if I have, it didn't stick. Don't know much about their characters.


Not heard of the Lumen Foundation doc, let alone seen it.

Yes

Seems like a good man

If you have a favourite Dark Star, the first question asked is 'better than on Live/Dead?'

Which says it all, really.

I have better versions but this was the start…

I think I have more versions of St Stephen!

[Spock!]

Dark Star - might not be the best, still magical!






St Stephen - did he doubt or did he try? I have no idea what this song is about. Enjoy the vibe, and happy to let the words wash over.

BCB server down for a while, or was it just me?

I got the name wrong.

It is The Rex Foundation.

Arena documentary circa 1993.

For yonks I was a 'first LP only' devotee of this set.

Now I love it all.

Still don't think I've seen it. Just find some Youtube clips about it, but so far not the doc.
