Bickershaw 1972
Continuing the series of 'Dark Stars' from the Grateful dead European tour of 1972.Here is the 'Dark Star' from the (very muddy) Bickershaw Festival held on the 7th May just outside Wigan in Lancashire, England.
(Look closely at the photo above and you may be able to see Elvis Costello. Actually you can't he was in front of the left hand side speaker - stack!)
Other 'Dark Stars' here.

Eh?
Well I had a post removed by Blogger.
What post you may ask?
Answer: 'Ryan Adams - Cardinology.'
What were they (who knows who) objecting to?
What was there?
There was a link to the 'review of the reviews' from the blog 23/7.
There were a couple of pics on the post including the album cover.
(Update: Interestingly I just went to look for the album cover in Google Images and there are none there. Could that really be what they were objecting to?)
Finally there were some live versions of tracks from the album available from another site that I also linked to (bag of songs blog) and a version of 'Wharf Rat' from Ryan Adams performance with Phil Lesh and Friends' on his birthday last year.
Which are all available to download at Archive.org.
So what was objectionable?
I really would like to know so I don't do it again, but it seems to me that some - body/machine saw the post title and presumed that maybe I had put up the album.
I don't know and I really would like to.
Finally if you have a problem with a post let ME know (via the comments) and I will remove it immediately OK!

Leonard Cohen - my love letter to the USA
"I'm sentimental if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight,
getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
that Time cannot decay,
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
this little wild bouquet:
This is my love letter to the U.S.A."
Leonard Cohen introducing 'Democracy' at the Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow, November 5 2008.
