PEACE for ALL!

This show will certainly see an official release one day, what a blast!i

... or the Crime

may I chose to lose or win?

acoustic live
pretty neat don't you think?

maybe when my turn comes
I will have guessed

Another classic that needs to be an official release. Killer acoustic set with David Grissman and David Nelson sitting in. I think Garcia might be playing piano on Brokedown Palace. A knockout electric set with a Big Boy Pete and Attics of My Life. If this one is available lets get it released, please.

DaP 9 Adams Fieldhouse Missoula, MT
Sound is excellent. Keith in great form!
Thanks to a friend.
Cheers
Love the jazzy Playin' to end the 1st set.
And wow, my new favorite Dark Star! Well, until we hit the feedback, lol. But thankfully it was brief. Can't have one without the other I guess. A very well played enjoyable show for sure.

Billy, I love the Slipknot transition in the Eyes from that era too. I kinda wish they left that part in Eyes after Blues for Allah. But, HSF is a wonderful sandwich. I used to compare it to listening to the opening sequence of Genesis' Trick of the Tail - Dance on a Volcano>Entangled>Squonk.

As for The Great American Music Hall, check out Wolfgangs Vault if you havent. More treasure than one could ever want in a lifetime. Obscure stuff you mostly wont find anywhere else too. Those concerts by Joe Pass and similar artists at the GAMH are pure gold too! 3 Sets! Do a search by each venue for fun some time too. It will blow your mind. Cheers!

I bet the NFA etc. is too wobbly in sound quality to fix for release, which is unfortunate.

A holes who put Bear in jail robbed us of a lot of high quality soundboard recordings

Sigh

Garcia; Reflections (side two)

Last five:

Heartless Bastards, A Beautiful Life
Albert King, Travelin' to California
Ty Segall, Deforming Lobes
Jimmy Smith, Midnight Special
Willie and Family Live

10/27/90, the 30 Trips version, and then 55 again. I'm about done with it. It is not bad and I would have been absolutely thrilled to have been there, but it is not really doing it for me. I really had high hopes for this one. I really like some of the later stuff, Dick's 27 (12/16/92) for example is a fun release I think.

For 10/27 and 10/28 especially, I like the Drums>Space a lot. clocks and frogs and some Season Of The Witch in there :)

I listened to some Pigpen, 2/28/69 the last night.

Right this minute I am waiting for the new Jerry release to arrive, I am getting dangerously close to too much, lol
seriously though, if I never got another thing I would have enough for a couple life times I think...

Oh, I love, love, love me some 5/14/74 :)

Today marks 56 years since GD at Woodstock

Just sayin'

Worth hearing at least once

"A THIRD COAST!!!"

New Garcia Warfield dropped in the mailbox today.
Now Playing: Night 1. 2-28-91

How sweet it is.

What a fantastic recording! I'm really glad I was as able to make it to some of these shows at the Warfield in 1980, they were very special . I wish they would have brought back Attics of my Life, Mtns of the Moon , and Rosemary for the acoustic part of these shows, that would have been something

A friend sent me a link to the new RS article, how does this make sense, its like picking your thirty best friends, it changes. Many obvious choices and a few not so, had me chasing down a couple of the unheard primals from 8-Track tapes. At least two mistakes in places and dates listed, maybe you will find them. About one third the list has not been commercially released. Busy on summer hiatus, gonna fix that with an afternoon concert movie in a theater with AC in just a few minutes, at a location where they actually played in 1978.

X-Factor is immediate! And i'm only on disc one

Apparently an extra speacial spliff went round prior to walking out!! lol

Yowza

Just got in the new Jerry release, "live at the warfield - 1991".

Then the ice cream man says about the vinyl......

Bought the three shows.

Have just finished listening to the first set, first show,,,,, GREAT RECORDING!!!

Rock of Dave may want to order. (big vinyl man, right?)

Thanks for the heads up. (that's not from my wife :-) )

Dennis,
The bundle has about an $8 savings.
But the shows ship at different dates.

Woodstock Movie Director’s Cut Blu-Ray.

I bought all three from Amaz. Free shipping via prime saved me a chunk, plus I will get them on release day.

The 28th is already out for delivery.

Check out the Cats that open the 3/1/91 show. It's evident right out of the gate that John Kahn is locked into very funky bass line. By the time they get to the solo/jam section Garcia, Kahn and Kemper are absolutely locked-in and laying it down!!!

A Cats for the ages!!!

Rock on, gang

Got 8/12/72 goin' in car - not in car, but in Dead Shed now. Post a lot of tasty jazz I've got ABB Picked Fresh @ Boston Commons. Did this stuff really happen? Gut-wrenching from the get go!

Blu-ray spinning now.

Dennis - I haven't got many live JGB albums, so you've planted a seed. The last actual vinyl record I got by them was Almost Acoustic back when it first came out. A great record that I still re-visit.

Not that it's got anything to do with price of chips, but the record I play most of my recent purchases is Can Live At Keele University 1977. One of a great series of live Can albums from the mid 70's. They are often compared to Miles Davis live electric band at this time The whole sets are improvised. They start with a bang in the middle of a space jam and stop suddenly at the end of one. Great stuff

I will be putting the latest up shortly, so you can sample.

sidenote - have two albums from Can - Future Days & Tago Mago. Nothing from them on the archive. utube offerings are slim to none. Will investigate further.

Disc 2

After a trip to Long Beach washington I am resuming this release

I
Love
It

Cheers, Dennis that's great.

With Can, "Tago Mago" was the one for me. A double album back in the day, it starts weird and goes out where no man or woman had been before. Or since for that matter. Their equivalent of "Anthem of the Sun". A favourite track is "Mother Sky" from an album called "Soundtracks".

GD were brilliant to do the 80 acoustic material

Does a FULL SHOW of the warfieldrcmh shows exist in "officially released" form?

10/31/80?

I don't think so...

Listening to the 2nd disc from the redo from whenever

Beautiful

GBTGD

They did release the acoustic sets from Oct 9th & 10th. Its a great release. I was at both of those shows. Its too bad they didn't release the electric sets along with them , maybe they don't have them .

5/26/73

Very tasty

Ben Harper and the innocent criminals

Decent stuff

Right now... the 9/16/72 Dark Star filler after listening to 9/15/72 in the car yesterday. I will go through a second time.

I have also been listening to the first show in the new Jerry release, it sounds very good and the band is locked in.

In a Silent Way: The Complete Sessions.

Just recently acquired. For a long time I figured I did not need this one. At some point Columbia Records evidently decided to release every last scrap of Miles music they have on tape, and while some of the resulting boxes (Quintet '65-'68, Complete Miles Davis and John Coltrane) were obvious must haves, I took a pass on some others. Because I don't need to have EVERYTHING. Do I?

This set makes a good case that, yes, I do need all of them.

I resisted it because it has a bunch of tracks that were released on previous outtakes albums like Water Babies and Directions, which were OK but not essential listening. But I'll be darned, when you hear those tracks in the context of the session that ultimately yielded In a Silent Way (for my money, the best of Miles' fusion records) the whole somehow becomes more than the sum of its parts.

Kind of like a Dead show in that way. You can hear how the mood shifts in certain jams and how one thing leads to another and how one passage of relatively low energy playing can turn out to be essential to something amazing that happened next. And some stuff here actually does remind me of '60s Dead: the tracks that feature John McLaughlin noodling over Joe Zawinul's organ kind of remind of some of the Anthem-era live jams. I would even go so far as to say the Dead probably influenced Miles's work during that period, especially knowing he opened for them a few times.

Anyway, I think the moral of the story, once again, is that I should just buy 'em all, and let God sort 'em out. Next on my list will have to be the box containing the complete sessions for On the Corner, an album I thought was some kind of joke when it first came out, but which is now in regular rotation. Funny how that happens sometimes, you know?

First listen to the Nassau '73 from Enjoying the Ride earlier this evening. Jerry is very fluid through the entire show. Sugar Magnolia is a metronome set to a clear cut diamond.

Now enjoying the daguerreotype of Sturgill Simpson's Metamodern Sounds in Country Music. Gets better with every listen.

September 15, '72....... Keith really steps up there at the close of the PYITB jam! Sounds like Hornsby. And gets MVP for second set; keeps the music floating.

It's occurred to me too that Miles Davis recordings for In A Silent Way have a Dead like quality. On that 65-68 box there's a 33min 32 sec track called Circle in the Round which is very hypnotic too. Featuring one Joe Beck on electric guitar.
They seem very different, to me, these early Miles Davis sessions featuring electric guitar compared to the all out assaults that were to follow. Less celebrated, I actually prefer them on the whole.
Although, having said that, my favourite Miles Davis electric album may be Jack Johnson, which has some truly astounding guitar playing on it. But it's not one I can play that often.

10/4/80

Official releases offer no complete Warfieldrcmh shows

WHY

They can't have taped over ALL of them

And please

More GREEKS and FROSTS and SHORELINES and VENTURAS

🫠🫠🫠

From a vinyl gifted to me a while ago. The Stronger than Dirt jamming takes me back to when I first fell in love with this band. Erratic and primal-- like what they would have conjured up ten years prior during the acid tests. Electric. Really great stuff.

6/14/69

Release worthy?

YES

cmon, Dave and Co., get some more 69 stuff out to us that has been polished. PLEASE.

PLEASE.

I had a cassette of the show way back in college days. I listened to it one night while feeling "very special".

Phenomenal stuff.

We know all the '68's that are incubating, but we do have this one and it's a brain sizzler, no? Happy break in the freaking weather fellow mid-westerners!!!

9.24.72 from the 30 Trips box - such a great period for the band.

1st set is pretty sweet: Cumberland, Bird Song, and a Killer Playing in the Band

2nd set:
Dark Star > Drums > Dark Star > China Cat > Rider
'Nuff said

For a change of pace after 6/14/69...

Dupree's! Fall '77 Let It Grows are off the chain!! And OMFG that Cold Rain and Snow out of Samson to start Set 2!!!!

Dave's Picks Vol. 24, third disc.

Pure magic!!

DaP 24 - one of my favorite releases.

"This ain't Kentucky man, this is Berkeley!" "He had roses for lunch!"

Awesome Other One. Edit - yeah Anatexis that Phil jam is off the chain!! In my mind it's part of the Other One.

Yeah, that Other One is killer! I love the extended Phil jam leading into the Other One.
