Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Reasons The 5/21/74 Playing Needed To Be 46 Minutes Long

  • Inflation.
  • The guys over at Gary’s Olde Towne Tavern dared them.
  • Too many drugs.
  • Not enough drugs.
  • Time Sheath-related shenanigans.
  • Forgot the ending.
  • Billy was especially dick-punchy that night, so to protect their dicks, the Boys just kept on jamming.
  • Because a 50-minute Playing would be overkill.
  • Bomb attached to stage set to go off if they jammed below 55 mph.
  • Keith had to go to the bathroom and everyone else was being an asshole.
  • They ordered the Peking Duck, and everyone knows it takes at least 45 minutes for the Peking Duck, which is why you should call ahead, but the Dead did not call ahead and now they are killing time waiting for their Peking Duck by doodling around for almost an hour.
  • There were just too many notes in the guitars that night, I guess.
  • The Man said not to, and the Dead was like, “Fuck The Man,” so they did.
  • Nothing good on teevee.

    They wanted to mess with the tapers that were using 90 minute cassettes. Tape flip in the middle of a song!
