    February 19 - February 25, 2007

    By mid-February, the Grateful Dead’s touring year was really getting under way, with the usual March madness just around the corner. This week we’ll check out some great stuff from 1973, 1974, some acoustic material from 1970, and we’ll look ahead to later in the year with come classic 1984 Grateful Dead.


    It’s widely known that there isn’t too much in the band’s vault from the great year of 1970, especially disappointing because when the band was on in 1970, they played some of the best concerts in their career (2/13&14/70, 5/2/70, 11/8/70). One quirky little show in the vault is from 2/23/70, just a week after the Fillmore East shows, in Austin, Texas. The show is filled with some standard (read: very good) 1970 material, but we’ve received a few requests lately for some 1970 acoustic Dead to be played, so that’s what we’ll focus on here. A terrific Little Sadie shows off some excellent singing and playing by Jerry. This is followed by a Weir-alone version of Me and My Uncle, although Jerry does chime in on lead acoustic guitar at the very end. Finally, here is nice combination featuring a pairing of the rare and the sublime: Seasons>Uncle John’s Band.


    This week in the Grateful Dead’s recorded history also featured the outstanding 2/21&22/73 shows in Champaign-Urbana, IL, recorded by Kidd on ¼” reels at 7.5 ips. This rendition of Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodel-oo from 2/21 demonstrates the confident sound the band would carry through the year, as well as the exceptional recording quality. Also from that tour, here is the final reel (reel #6 of 6) of the Iowa City, IA, show from 2/24/73. Unfortunately, reel #5 is missing from the vault, but what’s on reel #6 is certainly worth hearing: Jam>Bass Solo>Jam>Sugar Magnolia. Too bad the 46 minutes that precedes this jam is missing, but at least this excellent jam remains.

    A year later, the band would start 1974 with a 3-night run at Winterland, with Donna back with the band after sitting out the final tour of 1973 on maternity leave. This run is certainly one worthy of hearing in its entirety, and with so many highlights, it’s tough to select just a little, but here goes: from 2/22/74, the first set ends with this very special Playing In The Band. What makes it unique is Jerry’s persistent teasing of what would become Slipknot! in 1975 with the release of Blues For Allah. Slipknot! would appear in various Grateful Dead jams throughout 1974, but this is one of the earliest. Also from 2/22/74 is this Me and My Uncle, which is one of the tightest, most powerful versions of this little song ever. Also, here is a typically hot China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider, also from 2/22/74. From 2/23/74, the second set jam is one of the finest of the era, and filled with noteworthy moments. With a sequence of He’s Gone>Truckin’>The Other One>Eyes of the World, you know it’s going to be good, but everything is given that extra effort. The He’s Gone ending jam is truly rocking, the Truckin’ is played with passion, and The Other One is WAY out there, filled with crazy, deep spaces. And, once again, there is that Slipknot! jam again. And top it off with a typically inspired 1974 Eyes of the World. A stunning 60 minutes of music.

    Like last week, we’ll jump ahead a few months to play some 1980s Dead, specifically a nice Shakedown Street from Rochester, NY, on 4/16/84. For whatever reason, the Dead usually played spectacularly in upstate and western New York, and this night was no exception. Jerry’s REALLY into this Shakedown Street. Drawn from the cassette master.

    Check in next week, when we have no idea what we’ll be playing, but we’re certain it’ll be good. Your comments and questions are always welcome, so feel free to get in touch.

I always loved Little Sadie whether it was the Dead or Jerry doing it solo. Something interesting that I noticed: I bought a copy of Johnny Cash's excellent album Live @ Folsom Prison. On this there is a track that is labeled as Cocaine Blues. As I listened to it the first time I began to think that the tune was familiar. After going back & listening again I realized that it is the same song as Little Sadie, but where Jerry sings Little Sadie Cash would say Cocaine. Example: Went out last night to take a look around, met little sadie & blowed her down is how Jerry sings it. Cash sings went out last night to take a look around took a shot of cocaine & blew my old lady down. With that exception in the lyrics, the song is exactly the same including where the trial takes place - the judge & the jury they took the stand etc. Anyone out there know anything about this? I have heard other artists do Cocaine Blues inc. the Dead, but it was a different version. Interesting.

They're not entirely the same. The chords and lyrics vary a bit more, though they obviously came from the same source as do a few other similasongs of the same tale. Thought a good place to start would be with Dylan's "In Search Of Little Sadie:" G . A . G . . . . . . . G Went out last night just to take a little round. F# I met my little Sadie and I brought her down. Ab I ran right home and I went to bed A With a forty-four smokeless under my head. A I began to think what a deed I'd done. I grabbed my hat and I began to run. I made a god run but I ran too slow; Bb They overtook me down in Jericho F Standing on a corner I's ringin' my bell, F# Up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville. G G# He says 'Young man is your name Brown? C#m Remember you blowed Sadie down." [from this point there is some kind of regular rhythm] C#m "Oh yes sir, my name is Lee. G#m I murdered little Sadie in the first degree. F#m First degree and second degree. Bm F# If you've got any papers will you serve them to me?" D A Well they took me down town and they dressed me in black, G D They put me on a train and they sent me back. A I had no one for to go my bail; G D |: Dsus4 D Dsus2 D :| They crammed me back into the county jail. Oh, yes they did. C Now, the judge and the jury they took their stand. F Fm The judge had the papers in his right hand. C Am Forty-one days, forty-one nights; F Fm Forty-one years to wear the ball and the stripes; Oh, no! C Am Went out last night to take a little round. Em G7 I met little Sadie and I blowed her down. C Em I ran right home and I went to bed, F Dm Fm C A forty-four smokeless under my head. There's one take. ///////////////////////////////////// Now, "Little Sadie:" A Went out last night to take a little round. G I met my little Sadie and I brought her down. A I ran right home and I went to bed G [n.c.] A With a forty-four smokeless under my head. I began to think what a deed I'd done, I grabbed my hat and away I run. I made a god run but I run too slow; They overtook me down in Jericho Standing on a corner ringin' my bell, Up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville. He said "Young man is you name Brown? Remember the night you blowed Little Sadie down." "Oh, yes sir, my name is Lee. I murdered little Sadie in the first degree. First degree and second degree, If you've got any papers will you serve them to me?" Well they took me down town and they dressed me in black. They put me on a train and they brought me back. I had no one for to go my bail; They crammed me back into the county jail. The judge and the jury they took their stand. The judge had the papers in his hand.

He meets his (girlfriend/wife), Little Sadie, and shoots her. He flees, but is overtaken and sentenced to (a long prison term/life) AUTHOR: unknown EARLIEST DATE: 1922 (Randolph) see below see full entry here -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to the above the earliest reference to the "Bad Lee Brown" variant of the song dates from 1922 and appears in Vance Randolph's Ozark Folksongs, Vol. II (1948, pp. 117-118): Sung by Miss Billie Freese, Joplin, Mo., Apr. 17, 1922. Miss Freese learned it from her boy-friend, a native of West Plains, Mo. Last night I was a-makin' my rounds, Met my old woman an' I blowed her down, I went on home to go to bed, Put my old cannon right under my head. Jury says murder in the first degree, I says oh Lord, have mercy on me! Old Judge White picks up his pen, Says you'll never kill no woman ag'in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first known recording of "Little Sadie" was in 1930 by Clarence "Tom" Ashley It was reissued in 2001 on the album 'Greenback Dollar - The Music of Clarence "Tom" Ashley 1929 - 1933 Available from Countysales.com Description: Clarence "Tom" Ashley was an extremely colorful character with a fascinating career in rural entertainment that spanned over half a century. He traveled extensively on the medicine show circuit, helped give Roy Acuff his early training, and was still appearing at fiddlers’ conventions in the 1960s when folklorists Ralph Rinzler and Eugene Earle discovered a then-unknown Doc Watson playing in his band. Surprisingly, Ashley has not been that well represented on record recently, perhaps because he is considered to be more of an entertainer and "character" than a musician. But from listening to this impressive 20-song collection one will quickly find that he had considerable talents as a banjo player and very distinctive singer. His vocal & banjo solos such as LITTLE SADIE and COO COO BIRD—all 6 of which are found here—are stunning and some of the classics of recorded old-time music. His work with Byrd Moore’s Hot Shots and the Carolina Tar Heels, and his duets with Gwen Foster are all superior & almost unique in their individuality. A wonderful set of notes by Joe Wilson highlights this superb and important re-issue. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The John and Ruby Lomax 1939 Southern States Recording Trip Nearly 25 hours of recordings featuring 300 performers that John and Ruby Lomax recorded during their three-month trip through the southern United States in 1939 "Bad Man Ballad" performed by Willie Rayford - recorded at Cummins State Farm, near Varner, Arkansas ; May 21, 1939 Listen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley recorded the song again in Chicago in 1962 with Doc Watson on guitar on an album called "Old Time Music at Clarence Ashley's, Vol 2" released on Folkways Records in 1963 and reissued in 1994 as "The Original Folkways Recordings of Doc Watson and Clarence Ashley 1960 - 1962" [Disc 1] (Smithsonian Folkways) With 20 previously unreleased performances, many rare photos, and producer Ralph Rinzler's comprehensive notes, this is the definitive collection of two earlier volumes entitled Old Time Music at Clarence Ashley's. These LP's introduced the world to Doc Watson and played an important role in the folk revival of the '60s. Featured are Gaither Carlton, Clint Howard, Fred Price, Jack Burchett, and others. Compiled by Ralph Rinzler, Matt Walters and Jeff Place. Annotated by Ralph Rinzler. "Soul pours out of these unschooled folk musicians..." -- SF Chronicle Listen to Doc Watson sing "Little Sadie" live at Gerdes Folk City in New York (1962) on NPR's All Songs Considered -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remembering The Old Songs: LITTLE SADIE [Laws I8] by Lyle Lofgren (Originally published: Inside Bluegrass, January 2002) Outlaw as Folk Hero is an old theme in the Anglo-American tradition, probably dating from before the Robin Hood stories. America developed a second idea, that of Outlaw as Psychopath, a truly Bad Man. Stagolee and John Hardy come to mind, as well as Lee Brown, the narrator of today's story. Versions of this song were found throughout the south, particularly in Appalachia and the Ozarks. The tunes vary, but the story is remarkably stable. Lee Brown shoots his woman, runs away, is caught, tried, and gets a long sentence. He has no remorse, other than that he is jailed. One writer says this song was very popular as early as 1885, but I couldn't find the source of that claim. There are lots of towns in America with the names given in the song, but Thomasville and Jericho, North Carolina are only 60 miles apart, which make them prime candidates for locale. There's no reason to believe this song is literal history, though. A cursory search shows no information on a real Lee Brown, or any evidence that the song describes an actual murder.
