I was aware of the Spooky Tooth cover. However, I recently learned JP never performed β€œInciter” live until a few years ago.

Why Judas Priest Was Sued Over 'Better by You, Better Than Me' Judas Priest released their cover of Spooky Tooth's 'Better by You, Better Than Me' as a single on Jan. 27, 1978.

By far the Priest album I’ve listened to the most over the past 20 years.

Better By You, Better Than Me is one of my favorite Judas Priest songs that has quite the history:

Brokedown Podcast Music Interviews Podcast Β· Bringing you a regular dose of Grateful Dead music, news, and discussion.

Well, me using β€œded air” is just me being lazy. Perhaps it was called Dead At Night?

Public Radio station KPFT is part of the Pacifica family, I do recall some of the weekly shows being syndicated from Berkeley.

Are you familiar with the BrokeDown pod:

Then I was in a mixtape trade group in later 90’s with 8-10 different people. We typically traded homemade mixtapes every 3-4 months. In one trade one of the members included a dubbed GD tape as an β€œextra,” each member receiving a different show……that was really cool!

Sunday nights back in late 80’s / early 90’s Houston Public Radio had a Dead Air show. Can’t say it was appointment listening for me, but I typically enjoyed what I heard when I did tune in.

The way people could recall dates, locations and setlists kind of blew me away……still does!

A buddy who I regularly made mixtapes for back in early 90’s went abroad for higher education. He got a part time gig tending bar in some London pub and would occasionally play my mixtapes for the patrons 🍻

Kind of, I don’t have a single Dead Tape anymore as I lost the two I had when our home flooded back in 2017.

But I occasionally listen via Archive and Garcia live show available via streaming services.

but such an impressive GD tape collection to have at record store that also serves beer on tap
