I have to listen to Attics of my Life now👍😎

[@verbenco]

@jenzeppelin Greatest Album is hard to pin down. Certainly American Beauty was very wonderful, but Europe '72 is the one I have played the most over the last few decades.

[@clarkewi]

Their best studio album.

[@elms91]

haha i love bob at 2:45 trying to explain attics

[@timhorpo]

Love seeing/hearing Scully

[@randolphr]

Just beautiful to hear all of their thoughts ..... Thx greatly for sharing this and the W.D. clip as well ......

[@vampyros1]

Actually, the Jefferson Airplane did their vocals/harmonies that way too. Love both bands.

Thank you for uploading these!

"There were good songs" In the same way that K2 is a good hill.

[@diatroptoff94]

Jackie Greene is the luckiest musician i swear man.ANd hes a fantastic musician too

[@learningrichard]

also, Box of Rain is my favorite Dead song. Funny how they tried to make it "not" sound like a Grateful Dead song... with the vocals how could it ever _not_ sound like the Dead?

[@sundowner108]

hey now since it's not mentioned in the description, maybe you could add that that's Rock Scully on the right, the Dead's what; first manager, or second maybe after Hank (Courtney Love's Co-Creator) Harrison, who was the manager of the pre-Dead "Warlocks." -= : ) : ) : ) =-

Jackie Greene has a really cool life . Lucky dude !

[@stillaliveandwell5291]

The conversation is clearer through headphones but watch out at the end. The music comes on super loud! Same with the WD part of this interview elsewhere.

[@hbscone]

It's strange hearing Rock Skully saying "we" so much, as if he were part of the band. But I guess that's the way that GD worked. It was family. Hardly any other band would let the manager talk that way.

badself I think the band enjoyed him (when he was sober) check this out:

With much respect Bob, CSN did not sing parallel harmonies.

[@concretejungle80cruz]

@elms91 lol talk about space brain!! hahaha so funny

[@FoolishPrankster]

Thier Live Version of Box of Rain sucks, get Nelson to play his B Bender like it was done on the album.

[@Halliday7895]

Jackie Greene is a luck dude....lucky Kid . I hope to jam with Jackie one day...

[@wisskier]

Counterpoint

[@forest1997]

Bob sounds liks a spacehead haha

[@jcolterh]

Be quiet Bobby. The adults are speaking.

[@georgebethos7890]

Terrible audio who the hell recorded this

[@learningrichard]

ok... maybe ONE of the greatest... but your very name reveals you too probably think that Physical Graffiti is the greatest album of all time, buy the greatest rock band of all time.
