    Hi Katyky.... Well I haven't seen the documentary but I do know he is owns a fish farm. :) I am not really sure if any other members of JT will be with him in Austin, it's billed as IA doing the songs of Jethro Tull so it does make me wonder. I have a "long lost" 1st cousin, actually I have yet to meet him, that lives in Austin. He is a professor of art at one of the universities there. We hooked up online via Facebook and found that we have many things in common, so he invited myself and my two sons over to Austin for the concert and bought our tickets!! Yay!!! It will be a very interesting night I'm sure. I have been a fan of JT for many years and I did catch the Rock Island tour some 20ish years back in New Orleans. I know no matter who will be there as his band it should prove to be a great show. Right now, I'm not listening to anything but the phones ringing as I am settling in for an overnight shift dispatching trucks. However once it gets closer to midnight and things slow down, I'll dig up some music to listen too... maybe some Tull! Peace! JT (my initials!!)

    Highly feasible ($15 + shipping) for a what's appears to be a solid used copy (i.e., VG rating, Amazon Fulfillment, and reputable seller): http://www.amazon.com/Schubert-Die-Schoene-Muellerin/dp/B0079O2N7I Look forward to your future posts!

    I love that particular song cycle and, while I realize it is only visual background for the audio clip, I am still compelled to ask whether you own a vinyl copy? I possess the DG cd, which - happily - also contains Erlkoenig, An die Musik, and Heidenroeslein. While sitting here reading, I'm listening to renditions of Tchaikovsky's 6th symph. (11/24/47)) and the Nutcracker (11/19/51) performed by the NBC SO under Toscanini's critique-proof hands!/peace, kate

    While there is great variance among subjectively rated stand-out shows, 2/14 is one of those special performances around which community consensus coalesces. Phenomenal open-structured jamming; note particularly what is formally called the Spanish Jam out of Born Crossed-Eyed, as well as the free-reigned improvisational workout between Alligator and Caution, the latter preceding a Feedback for which renowned taper Michael Getz "urge[s] everyone to sit down and let this thing grab you by the collar" as "it feels like the universe has been turned inside out, revealing the band as mere mortal puppets all along". Noteworthily, Getz concludes by stating, "Serious listening to this show reveals such a sheer depth of soul-awakening power that it astonishes me to remember just how young a band they were at the time". Love to hear your thoughts! /k

    Hi ACH! Wow, I was just listening to TAAB while driving the puppies out to the lake for a swim early this a.m.! It may just be the deadhead in me, but I've really become enamored of that MSG '78 bonus version on my rerelease, as well as the live iteration from '77 on "Bursting Out" ... much like our beloved Dead, Tull seems to have thrived onstage. Yet, there is a discernible dearth of live material on the market, to include ROIOs, especially from early on. I'm envious of your pending concert experience; I've been reading interviews and watching documentaries while becoming increasingly impressed with IA's wit, intelligence, humor, and common sensibility. Have you seen "Fish & Sheep, RocknRoll" : IA as squire, entrepreneur, superstar, and husband! Question: Is he touring with any remnants of the band's early incarnations? In any event, I'll look forward to your review! Nothing novel to report on the listening front this a.m.; I've got disc 2 from #11 in for a third listen - what a 2nd set!/kate

English Translation You are dead, you are dead, my dearest, And I breathe, you have left me, You have left me forevermore, Never to return, and I remain- No, no, if my verses have any power, I will go confidently to the deepest abysses, And, having melted the heart of the king of shadows, Will bring you back to me to see the stars again, Or, if pitiless fate denies me this, I will remain with you in the company of death. Farewell earth, farewell sky, and sun, farewell.

English Interpretation The night is quiet, the streets are calm, In this house my beloved once lived: She has long since left the town, But the house still stands, here in the same place. A man stands there also and looks to the sky, And wrings his hands overwhelmed by pain: Upon seeing his face, I am terrified-- The moon shows me my own form! O you Doppelgänger! you pale comrade! Why do you ape the pain of my love Which tormented me upon this spot So many a night, so long ago?

Grateful Dead ~ View from the Vault IV ~ July 24,1987 Oakland Stadium - Oakland, CAJust like They are still there I know I was. Real good show which also had Bob Dylan join later for a couple of sets that ran pretty late. So much joy watching this and going back again tonight. "Where does the time go?"

Thanks A.Cajun.Head, Cool. Sometimes I get those directions mixed-up like everything is happening at once in waves or something.

A pleasant thing to come home to. Kudos to the United States Postal Service! The new Dave's Picks is pretty sweet, and not just because it's from '72. As usual, the latest release sounds great, but I love the context.... the Dead were in the middle of an amazing run that saw them perform over 50 shows in the last half of '72, a show every three or four days. They bounced around the country daring tour heads to keep up.While I enjoy the local perspective as expressed in the liner notes, I wish Dave (or whomever) would have included some historical perspective as it relates to this awesome run of Dead shows. This Wichita show is but one of many incredible performances that summer and fall. A slice of the Dead at their peak. I'm still deep into playing this for the first time, but already the standout tunes are the Jack Straw (yeh, yeh, I know... Jack Straw from Wichita), followed by a pretty new Box 'o Rain. Yeah, the Box is sketchy, but Phil's bass line from the previous J Straw had me distracted, I think he really is a God. Sweet China Rider transition, too. Truckin' Other One Brokedown looms.... we'll see how it goes.

As I alluded to on the #11 thread, I've recently discovered Tull; despite the usual studio reccos for newbies from a couple JT boards, my first choice - after copious sampling on Amazon and iTunes - was a '77 live comp (specifically, "Bursting Out", which would be absolutely no surprise to Heads :)) ). Anyway, "A Passion Play" arrived in the mail yesterday and I listened with a sense of rapturous epiphany on the way in for some unscheduled (and blessedly quiet) time at the office. However, in one of those queer alignments of cosmic circumstance, my draw from the Toscanini RCA box - that is, for listening once in the office - was AT & the NBC SO's rendition of Haydn's Symphony No.88*; an extraordinary coincidence because I was immediately struck by a strong similarity between the powerful musical currents of the 2 works! Sadly, my lack of technical musical education or general knowledge correlates with a deficient vocabulary in this area that precludes a more satisfying explanation of these congruencies. Still, a pretty neat observation among pieces written approximately 185 years apart! *Given the forum, I feel inclined to specify that the piece was recorded in studio on 3/8/38 ;) ...deadheads and dates...(and yes, that's nineteen thirty-eight (magnificent sound, by the way)/ peace,kate

Your canonization of PL is spot-on in my book! :)) The more I read, the more I understand that he is a seminal figure in the evolution of the bass guitar from a simple anchor line to rhythm support. Because of his quick wit and native intelligence, interviews are always an intriguing affair. Perhaps one of my favorite, and also the most surprising, responses came during a Jackson interview (of course!) in April 90, to which Phil averred, in response to a question regarding musical influences: "...I don't study other bassists, and I don't think I've really drawn much from them. In my own style of playing, such as it is, I've been influenced more by Bach than by any bassists. Actually, you can go back even further - Palestrina, sixteenth century modal counterpoint." Okay, now I could identify diverse influences of the blues, jazz, country, western, balladic, and even carribean (Aiko) musical traditions in the Dead's catalogue, but 16th century modal counterpoint had eluded me entirely!/kate

#11 upon arrival most of yesterday, today back to my latest find, Tull (well it's a timely discovery for MY life's journey)...I suspect TAAB may well have just permanently catapulted into my all-time top 5 albums list. Holy cow! As proof that '77 was a gr8 year for someone other than the Dead, I give you the mad genius of IA and JT: peace, kate

We all seem to post past one another here, but I must say that you undoubtedly have the most eclectic personal taste in music that I've ever encountered. While nothing has yet struck me, I do listen - and look forward - to your diverse audio samples! Keep 'em coming!/thanks, kate
