Tapers Section By David Lemieux

We’re going to be doing some jumping around the calendar this week, to play you some music we didn’t get a chance to play for you the past few weeks.

First, as we’re always interested in playing unique sequences and segues, we’ll pop into 1980 for a quick stop on 10/2/80 at the Warfield in San Francisco. From this very good show is the interesting third set opening sequence of Drums>Comes A Time>Lost Sailor>Saint of Circumstance.

Next up, we’ll jump ahead 14 years, to 1994, specifically the very good Fall Tour. From 10/1/94 in Boston, we have the second set opener, Scarlet Begonias>Fire On The Mountain, and from a few nights later on 10/5/94 in Philadelphia, the very unique second set opening combination of Midnight Hour-Cumberland Blues.

From the Fall Tour of 1976, specifically 9/30/76 in Columbus, OH, we have the second set opening Lazy Lightning>Supplication.

Jumping back a bit to 1972, here are two songs from the 4/7/72 show at Wembley Empire Pool (subsequently Wembley Arena) in London, Chinatown Shuffle and a rocking Me and My Uncle. Bobby wasn’t kidding when he said about these two Wembley shows in 1972, “man, we played like demons at those shows.”

Check in next week when we’ll be playing some great music from your favourite band. As always, we welcome and encourage your questions and comments.

Where is Brent that Scarlet>Fire?

Guess I am missing something, but that certainly sounds like a 94 Scarlet to me and it RIPS.
I saw all of spring tour and all the west coast run that year but have always regretted missing one last run at Boston Garden before they tore that building down.

MORE LATER YEARS

its good to see some of the later years back on the taper's section....i personally like 93-94....just the way these years sound (sound wise) is way cool.....very clean, clear, pristine notes from jerry.....Weir has that stinging tone.....the drums have all those little extra touches like wood blocks and cowbell...phil is HUGE....even vince sounds great!

this "Scarlet>Fire" is most certainly from 10/01/94....not sure where some heard brent?

PLEASE....more 93-94!!!!!!

if 10/01/94 was released officially....i'd buy more than one copy!!!! :)

Indeed, Bobby wasn't kidding

Indeed, Bobby wasn't kidding when he said about the Whitechapel '88 London shows ('72 Wembley that is) "man, we played like demons at those shows"...

and hey bwah, I hear they played like the devil himself at Magoo's Pizza Parlor...
so please, let loose with some rippers from the long lost mid-'65 Warlocks pizza tapes.

wouldn't that be a topper?

David, in the spirit of All Hallow's eve, could you share a treat - perhaps one sweet taste
from the vault, series 6, of The Carousel Ballroom - March 17, 1968 ?

& thanks for keeping the vault open - we need you there man!

whine not?

the reason why this weeks TS is full of glitches is that DL is very preoccupied putting the final touches to a huge fantastic best ever box set in time for Christmas!!!

well

maybe...

When is the next release?

avatar

I hope something is being put together before Christmas or even before Halloween. Hopefully they'll step up their game.

considering...

considering every show that has been released......that's 3 vaults,13 download series, 37 dicks picks, countless official releases(well over 20),the big box sets, dvds...ect.....i mean thats a LOT of shows folks.....

be patient.....because there is only so much more that they CAN release.....not EVERY show is release worthy....and they have their years of future releases to consider...not every show was recorded.....tapes ARE missing from the vault (april78!!)......everyone just has to take a breath....the vault is not as bottomless and endless as even i once thought it was :( its just a fact of life...nothing lasts forever :(
TAKE A STEP BACK......maybe we are seeing a slowed rate of releases because, well in reality, maybe there arn't too many more shows they are/want to release?

<<<< no complaints here...well since i own all of the said above releases....and with david gans and his wonderful radio show.....and with the tapers section....i'm sitting fat and happy...the butterbean is content! (not that the butterbean dosen't want a watkins glen 73 or winterland 73 box set!!!...not to mention the creme' of the later years 89-94/5ish....) But that being said....i can name a show from 85 that if released would quiet everyone REAL FAST and for A LONG TIME...hint hint (04/27/85 FROST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! frost)....

but untill that time....
hug your family, kiss your dog, walk your cat.....and just be HAPPY!!!!!!! isnt that what its al about?

Wembley 4.7.72 MAMU

Dave,

I was there. My mate CJ taped the show. They didn't play Me & My Uncle. It would be nice to know where this version hails from though; indeed, it would be nice if you would release ALL of Europe '72 as the shows I got to deconstructed and then reconstructed me. And boy did we get through some fine, fine LSD :-)

Happy Birthday to BOBBY!

Nothing on the home page - extraordinary! But from the old country, heaps of love and buckets of gratefulitude to Bobby, for all he has given us, and for carrying the flame with such verve.

Gimme that old time religion!

Rock it, Bobby

Jeremy & Penny
