Is this Overture? Underture is way too long for 10@10.

Underture has been played twice on 10@10.

Bathroom break
Slipping into something
And out of something else

Well, I think it depends on the quality of the speakers you're listening to.  If they have high quality bass response, I say crank it up.  If you're listening on a tinny laptop, I guess it's not that compelling.

I meant for the DJ  ;)

I guess I was relating to it from my experiences at Dead shows.  The Drumz segment was often a bathroom break for many!

There were a few Weir songs (and almost all Brent songs) that served the same purpose in the first set. (Which, if you'd spent any amount of time slugging beers before the show in the basement bar at Kaiser, would be a necessity.)
Let's get right to it.

I was going to ask him what he does during drums & space... the latter would be my bathroom
break.

I guess I just expect more from AL than I did from RR, and falling back on multiple "old standbys" repeatedly is a tad disappointing to me, given what an astounding year 1969 is.  I realize "the kids" in the KFOG core demo  haven't heard "Na Na Hey Hey" 8 million times... but I have.  ;)

You've hit the nail on the head.

There does seem to be some effort to pick songs that haven't been over-played on 10@10, but
for the most part little fresh ground is being broken.  I thought AL's re-inaugeral 1971 set was
outstanding, but that level hasn't been hit since then.  The tyranny of high expectations, I guess.

I suspect it would be fairly easy to construct an all "big name bust-out" 10@10 for a year like 1969,
and just a couple would be a welcome addition to any set.
