Grateful Dead

Operation 86 fury
7/6/86
7/7/86
First I’ve heard via the GOGD,(remember him?) second I have not.

Morning, rockers!!!!

Today's commute: The Who, Amsterdam September 29 1969

Now that is some serious rock and roll, crunchy with a capital C!!! Post-Woodstock, pre-Leeds, Tommy ascending, Who's on top!!! All the hits (and misses), Tommy, the wonderfully bombastic grand finale! Daltry struts his stuff, Moon's loony drumming, Entwistle drills a hole in your brain, Townsend our guitar hero, the maestro, the conductor, leading us to salvation through rock and roll.............

Needless to say we were and even now remain huge Who fans, everything up to and including Quadrophenia was a big component of the soundtrack to our teen and young adult years..........

Right behind you, I see the millions
On you, I see the glory
From you, I get opinions
From you, I get the story..............

And now we return to our regularly scheduled 1969 Grateful Dead, which shall play softly in the background while I work on autopsy reports.........

Rock on,

Doc
His eyes are the eyes that
Transmit all they know
Sparkle warm crystalline glances to show
That he is your leader
And he is your guide
On the amazing journey together you'll ride

....I play a game with shows.
Try to time it with pulling back into the driveway. I was one song off unfortunately.
Close enough.
Love you all.
Saw some bighorn sheep. Good stuff.
Jam -> Bobby McGee.
EDIT! - I just realized that someone else here listened to the same show.
I hate coincidences CC.

Made In Japan

4/25/81 - acoustic with John Kahn on bass. Bear's Sonic Journals. I believe this is Bears last recording of members of the GD. It is an exceptional recording. Perfect for an overcast day in Vancouver and strong coffee. Jack-A-Roe oh my.............

4/2/73 Such a good period...........

PT - yes, it was called "Children of Nuggets" and it focussed on bands from the mid 70's-mid 90's, but who played in the style of the original Nuggets bands. Bands like The Fuzztones, I think. I never bought this one.
The flood gates opened for 60's punk/psych/freakbeat compilations in the wake of Nuggets. Pebbles was the first I think, followed by Boulders and Mindrocker.
Not wishing to be outdone, the UK responded with the bootleg Chocolate Soup For Diabetics and Perfumed Garden, culminating with the...deep breath.....20 volume Rubbles series. Much of these U.K. comps have been superseded by more recent box sets with much better sound on the Grapefruit label.
There was also a 4cd box set called Nuggets 2, which featured bands from "The British Empire and Beyond" which featured mid 60's tracks.

I still remember the first time I heard their music, it was in the 60's, which exact year it was, I don't recall, I don't remember, but I do remember I was watching a show on tv, black and white, then I went away for a while, was out in the kitchen, all of a sudden this awesome sound came out of the tv, I was struck by the short, pushing rock that was being produced by these long haired hippy type dudes. Pushing to hard was the song, and they had me. Great band, gone to soon. Nuggets was a great compilation of underground rock from the mid to late sixties. If I remember right, wasn't there a "son of Nuggets" released? More great, short rock and roll radio ready tunes.

Not the whole show but what’s here is tight. Nice 71 Billy drum solo.

Also have 4/12/70 out and ready for later.

I had 4/11/69 in my tape deck yesterday and it sounds great for a 20 year old tape of a 57 year old show. Really good separation and Phil and Jerry are clear. I’m going back into these early 69 tours for a while, lots of good stuff there.

Cheers

Good to see them referred to on here. Their 1966 album "Web Of Sound" - which features ""Up In Her Room" - was a regular on my turntable circa 1980. For me, and thousands of others I first heard them on Lenny Kaye's seminal compilation "Nuggets". Since expanded to 4cds, it's one of the best box sets of 1960's music out there.
