Its ok to look back. Dylan's "don't look back" theory is misguided

I'm convinced I was at some great shows in my previous life, born into this body in 1978 & it just doesn't seem like I missed the 60s & 70s, pretty sure I was partying hard on that scene
Saw the Grateful Dead 2 years in a row in the early 80's at Manor Downs racetrack on the outskirts of Austin. I think we got the tickets through KLBJ radio station in conjunction with Armadillo Headquarters. Also saw Asleep at the Wheel in Austin. Wow lotsa fun

Yeah man I was ther @ the Downs :)
I saw some great musicians at The Armadillo World Headquarters, , I saw Jerry Garcia several times, Freddie King several times, Alvin Crow and his brother, Joe Ely , Boz Scaggs , and the list goes on and on, The Armadillo World Headquarters had the best nachos in the world and cold Lone Star, it was hot in the summer and cold in the winter but it had the best music in the world
That recording has one of my favorite takes on Bobby McGee.
Cool
Armadillo world..did it..wow..🔥
Saw Garcia and side band (Merl Saunders?) at Armadillo in about 1974. Sat on floor in front of stage for 3 hours.
Very nice... 💀🌹⚡
Elton John almost canceled his first performance at The Trubador when he saw Leon Russel in the crowd. Elton was also inspired by Garth Hudson ❤
Like Grahm Parsons, the GD blended country and rock and exposed it to their massive audience. This type of country bears very little resemblance to commercial country music of today, which really sucks. Listen to bluegrass or Hank or Scrugs or Watson for example to name a few.

don't forget the byrds 'sweetheart' album (1968) which created the genre.. very much a result of parsons joining the band and finding a kindred spirit chris hillman ....

Grahm Parsons and the Dead or just Garcia would have been a wonderful combination. I never heard of their paths crossing.

Damn, Shiner and Lonestar were cheaper than Bud and Schlitz!!
