Electric Apricot Page #10

an ass of himself

in front of Warren.

I'm just a f***ing a**hole.

F***ing f***.

Oh, f*** it.

It was going so smooth today

and then he's gotta trip out.

Well, I mean,

you know, who knows?

Who knows what'll happen.

Wow, wow, wow.

It's the old Cincinnati

dancing pig.

He's the barnyard Mr. Pig.

Is anybody up yet?

I mean, you know,

he always disappears, man.

He's just... I'm not

really tripping on it.

He did get pretty hammered,

I'll tell you that right now.

He was definitely-

Yeah, I haven't-

I don't know.

I haven't seen him

that lit in a while.

Well, he was all tripped out

because he went up to-

he went up to Warren Haynes

and just said

all this crazy sh*t.

But the camera guys said

that they stumbled across him

and he was passed out

and he was nude.

Hah, that's such...

That's Gordo.

It's cool, dude.

We got a lot of time.

He'll show up.

He always shows up.

I, uh... I think that

Festeroo is a festering...

not a disease-ridden

kangaroo,

but an ocean of creativity

and some of the Lord's

own jelly.

Check it, stop, rock

Everybody gonna move

Everybody, let's move

Everybody gonna move

Everybody, let's move

Ah, yes.

Ain't gonna stop

Ain't gonna quit

I've kind of evolved,

revolved, and dissolved

with the Grateful Dead.

And so, uh,

jam is my middle jelly.

You know, fun is fun

and we all know how he is,

but this is- this is...

this is kinda crazy, guys.

We might have to do it

without him, I hate to say it.

We're going to have

to do it without him.

What's the word, here?

You guys-

What's the word with you?

Nothing.

I goose-egged.

I haven't found a thing.

We're going to have

to play, man.

We're just going

to have to do it.

What do you think?

Should we, like-

Well, I think, you know...

Extended solos or should

you do your drum solos?

Hey, or I can do

a drum solo.

I can get bass solos, man.

I can do some stuff.

I can't believe this.

I can't believe this.

We're down to the wire.

This is it,

this is the wire.

All right, guys,

we gotta do it.

Coming out for you,

the seminal Jam band,

bursting onto

the Jam band scene,

enlightening the world

through music,

give it up for Electric

Apricot, everyone!

Get on your feet!

Get ready to dance!

A quarter of the Apricot

entity was not there.

Here we were

heading out on stage.

And we started getting into

some of the Burning Man,

the textures,

doing these textures,

you know?

The feeling you get,

you know,

just the energy that comes off

of that mass of humanity,

it's like, you know-

it's why I do what I do.

It's why I chose to be a

percussionist singer/songwriter,

whatever you want

to call it.

Next thing I know,

I look over and there he is,

kinda shambling out.

I was a little late.

I was working

some stuff out.

I knew, personally, that Gordo

was going to show up.

There's a place...

a wondrous,

magical place

where like-minded

individuals

come together on the playa.

This place,

this wondrous place,

is called...

Burning Man

Burning Man

I think the fans and our band

really connected today.

It felt really magical to me.

I don't know, it really

felt like we clicked.

I mean, it was like,

here's me, here's the band.

We kinda just came together.

Hey, are you going

to Burning Man?

Bury your toes

in the desert sand

Ain't no man for

to tell you how to be

Come on down with me

to Burning Man

I got a recipe

for cosmic flan

Strip off your clothes

and set your aura free

Gordo, today, played his

ass off, if I may say so.

He was singing something

electric with his guitar

that I hadn't- actually have

never ever seen before.

Come down with me

to Burning Man

Dangle your toes

in that desert sand

Ain't no man for

to tell you how to be

And by the man,

I mean the law.

Free people taking

Burning Man.

Amazing Larry's

got a masterplan.

It's all about

Just letting

myself be free

We went to a place that was

absolutely unbelievable.

People were staring at us,

they were staring at me.

Hey, touchdown, payday.

I don't want to say payday because that's

a little more of a capitalistic thing.

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

Hey, are you goin' to-

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

Hey, are you goin'

to Burning Man?

How you doing?

How you feeling?

It was good.

Everyone played

really, really well.

I was really impressed.

Gordo was just amazing,

Lap was amazing,

Herschel, I mean-

I was proud to be

in this band today.

We came, we saw, we conquered.

Why not have a little fun?

I think from here onward

and upward for the Apricot.

I turned and looked

and there was Gordo, man.

You only rock Festeroo once,

you know what I'm saying?

Gordo, we were ready to go on

with a three-piece, man.

I want to propose a toast,

a toast to us at Festeroo.

Sweet!

Yeah, yeah!

Hip, hip, hooray!

What a day, man.

Festeroo.

We came, we saw,

we pulled it off somehow,

and, uh... yeah, wow.

My head's kinda spun

from the whole-

the whole thing, you know?

So what happened

to you, dude?

I was...

I was in the woods

and I was sleeping

and I was naked.

I was woken up

by this voice.

I looked up, you guys,

and Jerry was standing over me.

Jerry.

He came to me.

He's been so fixated

on Jerry Garcia

for so many years, I guess

it was bound to happen.

Whether or not

it's real or not...

I mean, he didn't

see Jerry Garcia.

He was probably

talking to a squirrel.

I think he wanted

to see Jerry Garcia.

And he's talking to me,

but his mouth isn't moving.

Jerry was?

With Jerry?

What the hell are

you talking about?

But, dude...

I'll tell you what.

I'll tell you what.

I've never seen you play

like you played today.

I've never seen that.

That was incredible.

Yeah, dude,

you saved the show.

I really think you did.

We've been around the horn.

He was talking to me

through here and here.

Just the most spiritual thing

that ever happened to me

in my whole entire life, man.

There's a tray of special

brownies, if you know what I mean,

waiting for us in the rig,

if anybody wants them.

Oh, oh, oh!

The Cube... you know,

he's one of our biggest fans-

and he brought us

a tray of brownies.

You know,

those happy brownies.

Hey, our work is done.

Let's have a little fun!

So ready, man.

You guys better get in

while you fit in

because if I get that tray,

it's gonna be gone, man.

We have to get

out of here tonight

because we have

to get this RV back.

Otherwise we'll have to

pay another day rental.

Otherwise we'll have to

pay another day rental.
