[FC Silver Fox]

...still trying to get into 'Ca Ira' by Roger Waters; still failing despite the utmost respect for most his previous works...

That'll do, El Bee, that'll do.

What an eclectic bunch we are..  Wait, I remember them: The Eclectic Light Orchestra

Will definitely have to pick up some more Grateful Dead though, sacffc, the more material I stumble across the more I seem to enjoy them.

You should check out the Grateful Dead internet archive, which has a huge number of free concerts.  Generally, the "audience mic" concerts can be downloaded and the "sound board" concerts can be streamed.  Two of my favorites are:

May 8, 1977, Barton Hall, Cornell University, particularly the second set starting with track 15 Scarlet Begonias.

April 17, 1971, Dillon Gym, Princeton University, because I was there that night.

I always admired the Dead's musicianship, but it all seemed to me to be an "inside thing" -- that is, being where the music was and wearing the right gear was more important than actually LISTENING to the music.

Chicago baby! "Goin' Uptown'

The late great Terry Kath was fantastic.
