Curveball - 08/17-19/18 Watkins Glen

[Buffalo Budd]

Honestly don't care about color or prints... I just wanna listen to SS&P on my record player.
Soon.

This.
I remember the day I got it on cassette like it was yesterday.

are those things real??  NEIN!

SS&P, and specifically Mike's, is what really sank the hook for me (pun intended).  my brother has a wristband and is going to Dick's, I hope I end up with that vinyl somehow, plus a second copy to gift to the right person somewhere down the line.

I remember walking down the raidroad tracks to get to Karma Music about five miles from my house and buying the CD the day it came out. I threw it in my Walkman for the walk home back down the tracks, packed my bat, and had one of the most enjoyable walks of my life!

It was the first new album of theirs I bought on its release day.  I was still a relatively new fan and I can recall drinking with some friends that night and our little get together turned into a spontaneous SS&P listening party.  Half a dozen young n00bs getting shitfaced and listening to Mike's on repeat!  Good times!   :rockout:

I had been a fan for years but other than A Live One, this was the only other official live release at the time and the sound blew away every XLII Tape I had.

i kinda miss the days of going to the music store on the release days.  that first listen was always amazing, and this release was no exception.

When SSP came out, I had just returned to the states from a year in Asia. I was at a Best Buy the minute they opened to grab it on my way to an early dentist appointment.

I remember having this realization the first time I heard the "Indians lying on dawn's highway breathing" segment that Jim Morrison was so filled with bullshit melodrama he sounded like a complete douchebag I could never take seriously... but Trey just sounded like a fucking tool... and a tool I can relate to. I'm a fucking tool.

And even in the depths of my acid days, I still just kinda dorked out on dumb shit. It was never that fucking deep mystical shit the Doors claimed to be after. Sure, it was internal and it affected me and changed my perspective on the world around me and all of that, but it was always a big cosmic joke. Life is just a bundle of joy. Surrender to the flow. David Bowie UB40. Boy Man God Shit.

The whole adventure is into absurdity not any kind of depth... and this segment of parroting, even mocking, Jim Morrison and his bullshit depth somehow crystalised the whole thing for me.

Plus, musically, this was a completely different band than the one I last saw at Clifford Ball... and I could not fucking wait to see them again. My next show was 12/29/97 - still one of my all-time favorites.

OK, I know it's not right, but... I still snickered a little...

The no SSP bums me out. I really want it soon. And I don't really care for any of those items in the shop, except maybe the brown "killer acid" shirt.

Heard it was a BF RSD release now :/
