comparable "no-name" ones go for about 3-4K. this was a pro billard/snooker table -- no pockets -- from when steve was a billiard hustler, prior to his move into poker. i'd thought it might go for more

it's a good track i nust admit. i was living in sf then, but spending all my nights at punk clubs and my das flipping father yod, white label dead & psych LPs of all sorts dealers in europe & through goldmine. i felt things went sideways when pigpen died, so i didn't pay much attention to them then.

nothin' personal, jeff. i just hated that era/sound. they took some of the dead's shittiest songs -- "playin in the band," "one more saturday night" -- and made them even more unbearable. trapped between that & glam rock, a turn towards krautrock, zeuhl & canterbury was the only sane choice.
