Help! Kidnapped and forced to listen to the Dead!

[smeet]

Yeah, well I hear the Dead are WAY better than the Beatles.

 

[bassie12]

Deepest sympathy.

 

[Oddly]

My thoughts are with you in this time of trouble.
Think of it this way.
Some day you'll be dead and the terrible memories of this trip will be gone.

 

[Shovel]

As long as she plays terrapin station and one more saturday night.

 

[bassRunner]

I think we're gonna need a bootleg recording of this event. You can send it to UC Santa Cruz, and they'll archive it so everyone can appreciate this historic occasion.

Deadhead 1: "Did you catch the July 12, 2014 show recorded in this dude's car?"
Deadhead 2: "Yeah, man! The one with Mrs. Smeet on backing vocals? That show was killer!"

I would expect a member of the Phil Lesh Appreciation Society to chime in any minute now. They seem to be among the more sensitive groups here on TB.

Smeet... Stay strong, my man.

 

[tbz]

Is she playing any Donna Godchaux stuff? Not sure why but her vocals really bug me. Probably because she's out of tune 80% of the time live.

Eh, last time I checked I'm a member, and....eh nah his complaints are valid.

The Dead are an acquired taste, and honestly I cant think of 5 hours of their music I'd want to listen to uninterrupted.

 

[nashvillebill]

I like the Dead, I saw them live twice (first time at Red Rocks in Denver)...but now I can only handle listening to them for an hour, if even that long...

 

[maestrovert]

"The horror..."

Come to think of it, we're gonna want two recordings. Yours from the front seat will showcase your wife's lyrics, and your daughter's from the back seat, with it's proximity to the subs, will be prime realestate for entering the Phil Zone.

PS: sub'd I have a feeling this thread is gonna turn into "a long, strange trip."

My advice; Start drinking, heavily.

 

[Al T.]

I like the GD but 5 hours worth- Even I would bail.

 

[/\/\3phist0]

when you stop and get gas (since it's a rental) "accidentally) pull the fuse for the radio...
one of us can look it up for you (IIRC it's under the hood)

 

[TigerInATrance]

Is she taking requests? I'd like to see how you deal with Seastones or an hour of nothing but Drums>Space...

 

[GeorgeRosenfeld]

In the correct "state of consciousness", that could be Nirvana. No, not THAT Nirvana...

 

[adi77]

fake a migraine?

 

[nashvillebill]

I suppose you could just drop a few hits of Purple Microdot ...

 

[Pilgrim]

My advice; Start drinking, heavily.

Lordy, I LOVE classic Blues Brothers quotes!!!!

Consider this: sooner or later she has to get out and go to the bathroom. You might consider pulling out the wires going to the radio...unless that would prompt her to begin a multi-hour soliloquy on the history and virtues of the Grateful Dead.

 

[Fat Steve]

Sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle there Smeet. I recommend some high powered blotters and a pint of raw ether.
