Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

Deep diving into late 60s jazz lately, Freddie Hubbard, Miles, Coltrane. Surfaced this morning with my first listen to Scofields Uncle John's band. Wonderful stuff, had forgotten how great Stewart is on drums, more his up next. Nice to see love for Live at Leeds and would humbly suggest to those who might have not, check out the next night at Hull, though much the same, still great and Keith Moon might edge his Leeds.

Bear Family's recent "Memphis Blues Box" is a massive journey into the heart of the blues - from 1914 to 1969.

Last Dead -Shrine 11/10/67 from 30 Trips - although I listened to the record. Incredible stuff it is too, however you hear it. Starts high energy with "Viola Lee Blues" on side one, and by the time we get to sides 5 and 6, with "Alligator-Caution" it's like a train going offa the tracks.

Live at Leeds, spinning the vinyl now.

Preceded that with GD 5-3-72 vinyl, which took about 4 hours to get through.
Time well spent.

The great thing about scoring this box is I get 3 more Weather Report Suites. I never really cared much for Let It Grow after they dropped the suite.

plus bonus - that is a very very very sweet pick up. disc 3 night 3 is all time fantastic. and def don't sleep on that Cinci bonus disc.

'74 has had a GREAT run between my ears so far this year... and with that comes a SWITCH of YEARS, let's HEAR how long this next RUN might last; beginning today with 10-28-1991 oakland, and dare I say, a prep for DaP #51 (hmm, a '91 for 51?)
everyone ROCK OUT this weekend, turn UP the VOLUME, and THUMP IT!

...since the last NE show [6/30/74], so looking towards that energy boost with today's listen of Hartford 1974-07-31, got the DL many moons ago which was burned to CD and then imported to my phone (yup the version with the UJB encore tacked onto china>rider), so while it's not daP2 version, it's still going to be a FUN listen.

PEACE ALL!
