128.0. "Predictions for revived songs" by KOBAL::MROGERS (Someday everything's gonna be different...) Tue Feb 19 1991 18:01

    I heard a rumor that the band has been rehearsing a lot lately and
    practicing a lot of *old* stuff!:-). Any predictions on what they might
    be practicing? I kind of hoping that they break out "Here Comes
    Sunshine" based on the jamming they've been playing lately.
    
    Any other guesses before the shows start this week?

	Wow!  Here Comes Sunshine would be like a dream come true!
	I'd flip if they brought that back, and I can't see why not.

	Other possibilities include Cosmic Charlie I'd guess... and
	hey, why not, Viola Lee Blues!

	I wouldn't want to hear St Stephen unless it was given proper 
	treatment, like lots of jamming followed by The Eleven ;-)

Here's another vote for Mr. Charlie.  That would be a BLAST!  But, didn't
Pigpen sing it?  If so, isn't it somewhat doubtful that they'd bring it back?

I don't know if it ever went away, but I saw The Music Never Stopped in
Pittsburgh (Apr. 2, 1989).

As a matter of fact, I just checked my mini-dead-base, and they played it 12
times in '87, 13 times in '88, and 7 times in '89.  Also, it was played for New
Year's Eve 87-88.

I am glad it is still around cause I love it!

So Mike,  I scooted outta this note looking for a what they played
last night and didn't find one.....can you tell us?

Or was it a 3 a.m. phone call while you listened to your machine
talking to an ecstatic head on the other end in CAL.???

Let's see - I could deal with anything!!  But it I had to list the first
three that came into my head they'd be

	Cosmic Charlie
	Hard To Handle
	Dancin in The Streets

Oh, this was for predicitions huh, not wishes?  Awwh, nevermind..

I'd also like to see the Golden Road.  It's the first dead song I ever heard
that I didn't already know, since it opens up Skeletons in the Closet!

Even if they just played an album-length version (less than 3 minutes), it
would be great!

    Nudder vote to bring back Cryptical->Other1->Cryptical!  And then 
    St. Stephen->Eleven while we're at it!

    The rumors about possible acoustic shows make me want to hear:
        Dire Wolf 
        Wake Up Little Susie
        China->Rider
    All acoutic of course!

the other day ... well the one for Sunday says "This One's for Mom"  (Sunday is
Mother's Day) but the other two (I don't remember the order) say "St. Stephen"
and "Cosmic Charly"

Yahoo!   Too bad a trip to Shoreline is unlikely :-(  This, plus what Healy
said about more old songs on the way, is good news!

    FWIW - They've used Cosmic Charlie on the back of tickets before.
    I forget whether they've used St. Stephen or not. Good luck
    anyways, though.

      Viola Lee Blues is a song that lives up to and beyond it's exotic
      name, which band member sings this amazingly groovy gig.

      I believe its Jerry singing on Viola Lee Blues, his voice 
    used to sound more nasal, and had a sort of tremelo to it.

I think it's Bobby singing the words myself:

some got 6 months some got one solid
some got one solid year indeedy 
some got 6 months some got one solid year
but me and my ?buddy? yeah we got lifetime here

Acutally I think Wier and Garcia sing some of together but Weir
seems to be more prevalent.

It's been a while since I heard this so I'm a gonna listen to it tonight...
