    Goats Head-Rock n' Roll

    The two albums where Mick Taylor really shines for me, are the Keith lite Goats Head Soup and It's Only Rock n' Roll. Superb soloing by Mick T. on Time Waits For No One.

    I like Ron Wood, but he seemed to adopt a kind of court jester role with The Stones which I found a bit tiresome. I do like these archival Stones live releases though - the Taylor years are still the gold standard, but the last two I got-from The Steel Wheels tour 1989 and 1998 in Beunos Aires rock like the proverbial b......Specially the 1998 one.

    50 years ago today………….

    April 25, 1971
    Fillmore East, New York City, New York

    Set 1: Truckin'-Loser-Hard To Handle-Me And Bobby McGee-Cold Rain And Snow-The Rub-Playing In The Band-Friend Of The Devil-China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider-Casey Jones

    Set 2: Morning Dew-Beat It On Down The Line-Next Time You See Me-Bertha-Sugar Magnolia-Second That Emotion-Good Lovin'-Sing Me Back Home-“Spanish jam tuning”-Not Fade Away>Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad>Not Fade Away

    It’s long way from Durham to the Fillmore East. About 480 miles, give or take a little………

    Pinballing through New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Maine, North Carolina, and finally back once again to New York, you’d think the Dead would be tired by now…………

    On this evening of wonders, they sure don’t sound tired. As so often happened, it appears the Dead upped their game being back in the big apple. They start high, and then soar. The ultra crunchy Hard To Handle. The hyperkinetic Rub. The once-in-71 Friend Of The Devil. The fine China/Rider. The powerful Dew to open the second set. The greasy Good Lovin’. The typically fine NFA suite to close it all out. Maybe not so famous as other shows in this run, but oh so worthy!!

    This is classic Dead!!!

    Rock on!!!

    Just wanted to chime in about my appreciation
    for the Mick Taylor era. As Daverock points out the real
    secret to the Stones true sound was the Jagger/Richard/Watts
    lock-down (Charlie comes in a nano-beat behind Keith).
    That said Mick Taylor played the sweetest leads for their
    material - by far. He was more instrumental in a few
    key songs than most people realize - Moonlight Mile - Keith
    passed out on the studio floor and Jagger, ever the economist
    demanded the sessions proceed and Taylor composed and played
    all guitars, Likewise with Goats Head Soup where he plays bass
    on several of the tracks as well as co-credited for Winter.
    Live by ’73 he was very frustrated with Keith’s erratic
    playing. One night MT was just expected to be the gun slinging
    guitarist while others he had to carry the show cause KR was
    checked out. The final straw came on It’s Only Rock and Roll
    when he and Jagger co-wrote “If You Really Want To Be My
    Friend”, yet when the album came out it was credited to the
    Glimmer Twins. Adios Stones …
    I always loved Ron Wood with the Faces, yet it seemed
    he really dumbed down his act when he joined the Stones.
    His best work was on Some Girls - otherwise he was all mod-rocker
    hairstyle and shades and no substance (probably just what Mick
    & Keith wanted).

    The Stones are the one band I know as well as the Grateful Dead. Right you are about Beggars and Bleed Daverock. Taylor was not involved much. He started with the Honky Tonk Women single, which for some odd reason they used as a single and went with Country Honk for the Let It Bleed album (certainly my least favorite on the record). Played on Live with Me from that record too.. Taylor contributed substantially to Sticky Fingers through Only Rock and Roll. He One of the reasons he quit was because he was not getting the writing credits he deserved. I was surprised by your comment crow told me, but I guess if you're not a Stone Head you may not know how involved he was in the writing and recording sessions. I am surprised too hear you found his live playing a distraction. His soloing was so smooth. Prime example is Dead Flowers at the Marquee '71 -OMG unbelievable how many notes he played "in time" on such a fast little diddy, and exits right when he needs to for the next verse after improvising a solo that had a proper beginning middle and end. As far as "weaving" the China cat example is cool yes, but not mahatma Keith is talking about. He means chord weaving, where, he'll play one thing and the other guy will fill in something in between (also chord playing) but the key is that they compliment each other's playing. I would emphasize that I do not mean they playing the same thing in a different octave (this is a different technique altogether that is used to fill out guitar sound). Check out Stray Cat Blues live at the Roundhouse 1971. Mick Taylor was so good he alternate modes within a song, he could play a different solo every time, or in some cases (Midnight Rambler) Keith would start a lick and Mick would finish it for several bars. To each his own is my philosophy I just couldn't figure out where the Taylor criticism made sense. I will say this, that one live song I am too keen on his playing is the Brussels Brown Sugar where he picks up the slide and does sound like he's overplaying. But that was the only time I've heard him play slide on Brown Sugar or sound distracting. Overall he was easily the best guitarist the Stones ever had. Brian Jones was easily the best multi-instrumentalist they had, but he added his touches to music that was already written. Taylor actually composed music in the writing phase (and to his credit he played bass on some tracks that Bill Wyman was not in the studio to play on like Tumbling Dice and Happy).

    Yes, China Cat/Rider features wonderful complimentary guitar playing.

    I agree with what you say about The Stones to some extent. I think Mick Taylor happened to be in the band when they made some of their greatest recordings, without necessarily contributing to them being great. Both Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed were based around Keith Richards playing, with embellishments on some songs by Brian Jones or Mick Taylor. But Keith is the only guitarist, I think, on many tracks on those two albums.

    In many ways, with The Stones, the rhythm is both that, and the lead. The riffs of so many of their songs define the songs -the solos are just the icing on the cake. It doesn't matter to me too much what the soloist is doing on tracks like Jumpin' Jack Flash - its the groove that counts.

    Live, the pulse is what I like most, and that is provided primarily by Keith and Charlie Watts. And again, the soloing is the secondary to the groove.

    You want to hear "the art of weaving," as Keith Richards sometimes call the two-guitar thing he supposedly loves? Listen to what Garcia and Weir do on pretty much any recording of China Cat. Or pretty much any recording, period. Because Weir is truly the master of being the Other One, playing jazzy chords and single note runs that complement Garcia's genius. And he can do it on the fly, spontaneously responding to whatever musical thoughts cross Jerry's mind.

    If I say that Weir is the most under-rated guitarist in rock, I doubt if anyone here will argue with me. What he does isn't "rhythm guitar." It's more like what a great jazz pianist does.

    The Stones? I mean, I love the Stones, but at least 90% of the time all that's going on with the guitarists is that one guy is playing lead and the other (almost always Keep) is playing "rhythm": ie, playing the same chords or riff over and over while the singer sings or the other guy solos. This was particularly true during the Mick Taylor years: people talk about how great he was for the band, but when I hear live recordings from that era, half the time Taylor's noodling without regard for anything anybody else is doing, and it's just a distraction. The Stones were much more interesting live with Brian Jones OR Ron Wood.

    Keith's a GREAT songwriter, a great RHYTHM guitar player, AND one of the all time GREAT bullshitters.

Thanks, THAT MIKE! Yes, very much agreed. I owned many of his albums on CD, but the CDs have long since deteriorated and my mp3 backup copies were mostly lost in computer crashes. Live 1990 is great, love hearing his Box of Rain in particular.

Other magical moments that come to mind, but certainly not all of them:

Tiger Rose - "Cruel White Water" and "Yellow Moon" (not to be confused with the Neville Brothers tune, which is also great)
Liberty - personally I dig "The Song Goes On," full of references to Krazy Kat & Ignatz, a great old comic strip, and "Come and Get It"
Rock Columbia - IMO every track on this album is stellar. "Eva," "Aim at the Heart," "What'll You Raise," and "Who , Baby, Who?" are probably my favorites from this batch but like I said they're all great.

Curious choice? I like every show on this tour, but some I have no memory of - and 5/3 is one of those. The Dark Star from 5/4 came out on vinyl on few years ago, so it makes a companion piece.

I never got many Robert Hunter albums, so I would welcome a reissue programme for them. I used to play Tales of the Great Rum Runners a lot in the vinyl days, and I had one called Liberty on vinyl too. Apart from those, and Armagellan Street on cd thats it.

April 7th, 1972, Wembley Empire Pool, London, England. Ah, my favorite part of the year. The kickoff date for the anniversary of the E72 tour. Every year I set out to listen to each show on it's anniversary date....and every year I go off the rails around Hamburg or Paris. Well, I got it down the first year since acquiring all the shows...

Some of the best banter ever on this tour:

Bobby: "Begging your indulgence, we're going to play on with another tune that's uh.......What the fuck are we doing?"

Jerry: "What indeed...."

Or there's Jerry when the acid kicked in: " look that guy's got a trailer!"

Good stuff. Great kick-off with Greatest Story Ever Told. Possibly my favorite of the tour. I really like done is half-scream on the "cool clear water well you can't ever tell" verse. Sometimes you got it once in the song sometimes twice. On this one you got it twice.

I really like the 8 minute part two of The Other One into Wharf Rat. I consider these this tour's 5 Wharf Rats my favorites ever. Dig Donna, but prefer Wharf Rat pre-hiatus when she doesn't sing on it.

50 years ago today…..

April 8, 1971
Boston Music Hall, Boston, Massachusetts

Set 1: Truckin'-Bertha-Next Time You See Me-Playing In The Band-Loser-Beat It On Down The Line-Second That Emotion-Sugar Magnolia-China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider-Casey Jones

Set 2: Dark Star>St. Stephen>Not Fade Away>Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad>Not Fade Away-Sing Me Back Home-Cumberland Blues-Greatest Story Ever Told>Johnny B. Goode

Encore: Good Lovin'

O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars……

Here the Dead treat the faithful in Boston to a fine, and in historical hindsight, very underrated show. Both sets start high. Mix with minimal amounts of grease and absolutely no country-Weir-and-western, throw in some Garcia-soul, rock and roll, and jamming and voila!!! Quirky April 1971 gooey goodness!!!

Interesting and unusual positioning of both the Dark Star and the Good Lovin’. And, pray tell, where did Second That Emotion come from?

Please, my friends, check it out!! You won’t regret it!!

Rock on!

That Doc Ellis feat is one to behold. I watched a documentary on that incident a few years back and was blown away. I could see how he could've honed in on home plate to atomic proportions given his headspace. That accomplishment is definitely one for The Books.

KeithFan, always awesome to be on the receiving end of your giddy Europe '72 shout outs; you provide the timbers to fuel that fire in my head and I go seeking the gems that haven't had ears on them in some time.

This goes for Doc, too, the '71 offerings are a continued treat. I've realized I need to check out today's droppage too.

In another lifetime, in a galaxy far far away, certain individuals were known to indulge in a little “magic coffee” before skiing. (The recipe for magic coffee: take one thermos of coffee, add 1-2 purple microdots, shake vigorously. Serves 2-4.) Benefits of magic coffee included increased energy and improved ability to “trust your body.” Side effects included pink or purple snow and uncontrollable giggling.

As a side note, I only ever played music twice while, uh, feeling cosmic. The first time, I felt like Jimi Hendrix. All I had to do was think a musical thought, and the notes went flying effortlessly out into the universe as I, a mere spectator, stood in slack jawed wonder at the spectacularly cool shit coming outta my amp. The second time, I couldn’t get in tune, my hands felt like oven mitts, couldn’t remember any of the songs, and couldn’t wait for it to be over. So there was no third time. (Yet.)

Saw your call out - always nice to hear from you man. I hope it's all good in Sixstusville.

Vguy - you spoke what I've often wondered - how on earth they kept it together tripping onstage. I also wonder how they procured while overseas during E72 tour. I guess that was Cutler's job.

Dead Storm Britain! 4/8/72. Lotta energy from Jerry on this one. Lots of fills between chords and solos. I guess I would say it's aggressive playing in general. Aggressive for Jerry anyway. He's always working on this one. I noticed it in Bertha a while back, and I've always dug some cool stuff he does in this Good Lovin'. Yesterday's run through made me realize he's doing it in just about every song. Tennessee Jed - smokin' solo.

Bobby: "We're going to start this set off once again just like last night with a song that rose straight to the top of charts in Turlock, California. This was number one, Numero Uno...."

Jerry (laughing): "That's just like you did last night man!"

Mayser Gymnasium, Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster Pennsylvania

Set 1: Casey Jones-Me And Bobby McGee-Next Time You See Me-Loser-Beat It On Down The Line-Hard To Handle-Bertha-Playing In The Band-Deal-Good Lovin'

Set 2: Truckin'-Sing Me Back Home-Me And My Uncle-China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider-Cumberland Blues-Sugar Magnolia-Midnight Hour-Uncle John’s Band

If there must be “standard” or (heaven forbid, lol) “average” April 1971 shows, let it be like this.

For many, this show “suffers” for lack of a big jam. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, can’t we all just enjoy some well played rock and roll Dead? As previously, both sets start high, the grease and country/western is back, you get a rare Good Lovin’ to close the first set, and a rarer still Midnight Hour. What’s not to like---or even love---about all that???

Unknown, unheralded, gathering only the faintest of whispers from 1971 aficionados, lost in the glare of what came after, yet still worth a listen!!

Rock on!!!

Doc
Sometimes there is no darker place than our thoughts, the moonless midnight of the mind

An interesting set list, Doc, and as always, you provide a great synopsis. I’ve had the NRPS in rotation lately, so this set list (with the “country/Weir” as you like to say) compliments that nicely.

The Grateful Dead could play concerts high on LSD because they practiced high on LSD.

I seem to remember reading that Jerry once said that one of the pleasures of playing the acid tests was having the freedom not to play if he didn't feel like it. Maybe after 1966 they took lower doses to avoid feeling they had to play music when they felt too high to do so. Pure conjecture, of course.

I've searched high and low for a soundboard of this one. Not so much because I need another 1977 show, but I've been wanting a good copy of the last remaining Help / Slip / Franklin from 1977. They only played it seven times that year, and the Slipknots were really really good.

I, too, have not been able to find quality recordings of these shows, except for the Download Series #1 from 4/30. And that's a good one. I recall not seeing any tapers at my first show on 5/1, although there is a mid quality recording out there, probably from the balcony. My guess is that taping was verboten for this run. Somebody mentioned a wish for a Palladium Box not too long ago...YES PLEASE!

I have a fairly good copy I downloaded years ago (over15) from the archive. Not sure of it's origins since I didn't make any notes on who remastered it. I do know that I most of my downloads were CM remasters, also If you look Charlie was on a roll remastering that
run

Was reading about searches for 4/29/77.

SBD does not currently circulate.
That being said, DL has played a number of tracks on Taper's Section in addition to the 3 tracks released on Download Series as follows:

Set 1 - Taper's Section tracks:
1. Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
2. New Minglewood Blues
3. Cassidy

Set 2 - Taper's Section tracks:
1. Samson & Delilah, Sugaree > El Paso, Brown Eyed Women
2. Scarlet Begonias > GDTRFB (Download Series Volume 1 Filler)
3. Drums > The Wheel > Wharf Rat > Around n Around, Uncle John's Band

Them there are the SBD tracks I've been able to track down.
LMK if anybody has any of the other missing tracks.
You've got 5 songs missing from end of Set 1 and Estimated & Drums missing from Set 2.
There's an audience tape that includes those tracks in circulation.

Hope that helps somebody find some music they want to hear :)

50 years ago today…..

April 12, 1971
Civic Arena, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Set 1: Cold Rain And Snow-Me And My Uncle-Bertha-Next Time You See Me-Playing In The Band-Loser-Cumberland Blues-Hard To Handle-Greatest Story Ever Told>Johnny B. Goode

Set 2: Truckin'>drums>The Other One>Wharf Rat-Me And Bobby McGee-Casey Jones-Sugar Magnolia-Deal-Not Fade Away>Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad>Turn On Your Love Light

A very solid show that one rarely, if ever, hears about. Why is that? Because it was Pittsburgh?

Truth be told, the folks in the steel city got a real treat and seriously good show that night. Hard rockin’ mix of rock & roll, grease, and Bobby. Big jam to open the second set and a Lovelight in the classic show-closing position.
Underrated and worthy of your consideration!

I have turned lots of people on to this show, no complaints so far!!

Rock on!

Doc

For better and worse, some drugs seem to transform people into more extreme versions of what they already are.
