    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

    Elevenses and Tull
    #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

    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.

    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

    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

    uh..... I dunno, that new Dave's Picks? Wichita anyone?
    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.

Today is the 41st Anniversary of the final concert at Bill Graham's Fillmore East. The show was aired on WNEW FM live. I've been listening to the show which featured The Allman Brothers Band, J Geils Band, Edgar Winter's White Trash, Albert King, The Beach Boys, Mountain and Country Joe McDonald. They are all available for streaming on Wolfgang's Vault.

Big Moon Ritual If you like Americana, If you like psychedelia, If you like great tunes and good playing. You will probably like this! Echoes of the Band in there, memories of the Grateful Dead and all sorts of other fine sounds. Highly recommended

can be streamed. This seems to be the GD's licensed outlet for taped performances. I just listened to a Dark Star from 8/67 that was way out there and the quality was amazing, even over my crappy computer speakers. I can just imagine how it'd sound over a good sound system. I'm just amazed at the plethora of richs out there for us deadheads at the moment...

Falling Off the Sky Sounds like an old dB's record, which is not a bad thing. For some reason listening to this makes me miss REM... Tuesday at work, almost no one else here. I'm wearing a Jerry t-shirt and jeans, am rocking out to my crappy laptop speakers. NOT my normal day on the job. Happy Independence Holiday, y'all.

Live from A & R Studios, New York . 26 August 1971. Outstanding performance. Issued on the Left Field Media label, who are releasing (in the UK) a stack of legally 'grey' FM broacast shows . By the way, if anyone has the full video of the Allmans PBS TV Special from the Fillmore East on Sept 23 1970 please let me know. Most of the show is on Youtube/Wolfgang's Vault, but it is a crying shame it has never been cleaned up and given a full release.

Various - Sub Berlin - The Story Of Tresor CD/DVD. ahhh, those transcendent days of Berlin in the nineties. fantastic compilation that brings it all back like a warm enveloping rush to the head. those futuristic real-time experiments, staged in strobe-light; eyes gleaming, ripples of electricity into the night of total and utter madness. nice to give those old 12"'s a deserved rest and spin a digital disc of classics from Infiniti, X-101, System 01, Pacou, ChrisLo, Scan 7, Monika Krause and more. Jeff Mills, Juan Atkins, Mike Banks and Robert Hood coursing through the dark, twinkling metropolis on a journey into the unknown. Monika Krause meditative spaces, waves and textures and blossoming reverb. gothic breathing and warm saturation. cyclical bliss amidst the chilling depth. Emptyset micro blooms and ecstatic joy. cushioning spray on columns of flicker and pulse. Ricardo Villalobos

Cosmicbadger - I wonder if Left Field Media is the same as Let Them Eat Vinyl who have released PJ 1992 Broadcasts and Beefheart An Ashtray Heart both taken from radio broadcasts. And I've just found out that the Live from A & R Studios, New York set is due out next week. They have announced a 3 x LP Grateful Dead Live Set - New Years Eve 1987

I really enjoyed about 3/4 of the show, and then the last half of the second set slowed down to a crawl, tempo-wise. I was hoping for a kick in the butt to close out the show, but it never came. Up until then, I was having a very good time. Plus it stopped raining just in the time for the band to start, always a good thing.

Big Moon Ritual Recommended by cosmicbadger, I second that. Thanks, Mr Badger! and then... Patterson Hood -- Murdering Oscar and Other Love Songs I'm seeing Hood and the Downtown Rumblers (comprised of 2-3 fellow Drive-By Truckers bandmates and a cello player?) tonight in Winston-Salem. I'm guessing that we'll be hearing him roadtest a good chunk of his upcoming new solo album. See you at the rock show!

Reminded by DaddyDead that I had not watched this for ages. Now enjoying it too while doing a little house cleaning up. But does anyone know what the big joke is after Wang Dang Doodle? It seems to start with Jerry making some strange gesticulations and soon after they are all very amused by something.

Valentine's day '68. It goes everywhere. I wanted to be there but mt stingy parents had a problem with a 2 1/2 yr old hitch hiking from Illinois to Cali to see a band called the Grateful Dead. With the release of RT 2.2, I have since forgiven them. Can't hold a grudge forever!

7/11/12 Cary, NC Listening to this a couple of weeks after I was there. At the show I was let down a bit by the back end of the second set, felt as if the show kind of petered out. The set started with a 22-minute Playin' followed by In the Midnight Hour >Here Comes Sunshine>Mountains of the Moon>UJB that levitated me right out of the crowd. The No More Do I, Foolish Heart, Days Between, E: Box of Rain that followed seemed to bring me right back down to earth. Fast. Maybe I was getting tired (it was a looooong day). Maybe it was the Chatty Cathy party girls behind me -- I finally fled during Days, wormed my way out of the pit to the back of the venue, so the mood was pretty much shattered at that point. Sounds much better now (Days Between, especially). Even if it wasn't the most inspired song combo to close out a show.
