Grateful Dead Hour no. 359
By David Gans
August 7, 1995
These two studio tracks show the surprising development of "Crazy Fingers." Compare them with the final version on Blues for Allah.
Also: A nice pair of songs from the fall of 1994, and one of two songs the Jerry Garcia Band contributed to the soundtrack of Wayne Wang's film Smoke.
Enjoy!

listening to the first half of the bonus disc from 3/22/72 included w/ the Reinhalle purchase (and will no doubt be glued to the second half tomorrow), I would like to make an obnoxiously obsessed request for this run to be released in its entirety.
Please.
“This odd museum merely documents, juxtaposes, relativizes – a perverse collection.”– James Clifford, “On Ethnographic Surrealism”
In the Unofficial Channels column of the February issue of The Wire, I write about Flokimotheque, a YouTube playlist that revives the perverse poetics of ethnographic surrealism. The playlist contains more than 100 posts that each juxtapose a single still image with a single piece of music. Check it out to see how prolonged immersion in such a seemingly prosaic process can reconfigure the senses and send ripples across the surface of the Real."

a fantastic little collection, containing everything from Nino Rota to Arne Nordheim, Vladimir Cosma to Mayo Thompson, Patty Waters to Rhys Chatham, music from Indonesia, Ennio Morricone, The Bug to Carla Bley, music from the Baka Forest People, Cabaret Voltaire to The Laneville-Johnson Union Brass Band.
one a day for 100 days and rising. treat yourself to a few minutes of the sidereal.
Just finished listening to The Samples' debut, self-titled album, currently listening to "Save The Turtles," and will be listening to "A Scarcity of Miracles" by Jakszyk, Fripp, & Collins up next.
Cure For The Blues (His most well known CD)Knobby is a local legend where I live and he has the chops. It's a cryin' shame he can't make his night job pay. But I guess that is the blues and if you don't have'um you can't sing'um. He alternates between three different guitars in a power trio and he commands that phat sound. Catch him if you can, definitely worthy.
...Matisyahu's "Selections from No Place to Be." Just finished listening to Chaise Lounge's sophomore album "Second Hand Smoke," and I'll be listening to Void's "Sessions 1981-83" next.
I'm one of those O.C.D. types who likes to rate the music on his/her iPod, and I had to re-boot my laptop's harddrive shortly before Christmas last year, so I've been listening to my entire album collection from "Absolution" to "93-03" in alphabetical order. And in case you're wondering, yes, it takes a LONG TIME to get through over 7,000 songs (especially when I keep adding new stuff and deleting stuff I don't really want anymore)....
My 3300 mile journey up and down the US East Coast...please remind me next time that 50 hrs behind the wheel of a small automobile is not the definition of a "fun" vacation...
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band -- 3/9/12 Apollo Theater (thank you Rog!)
Bat Chain Puller by Captain Beefheart. As last the original is out..big thanks to whoever mentioned it here a while back and sent me in its direction.
and
THE FIRST OF "BEAR'S SONIC JOURNALS": BIG BROTHER & THE HOLDING COMPANY FEATURING JANIS JOPLIN. LIVE AT THE CAROUSEL BALLROOM 1968, RECORDED & PRODUCED BY OWSLEY STANLEY ("BEAR")
Turn it up LOUD, it's a thrill ride. It is also a rather idiosyncratic mix from Bear with everthing from the PA (drums and voices) on the left hand channel and everything else (guitars) on the right. He explains why in the notes and even tells you how to arrange the speakers to get the best effect! Talking to us from the beyond.
Althought I rarely buy compilations I dicovered that a Miles Davis compilation CD called 'Blue Moods: Music For You' has a rare live version of the song 'Fran-Dance', recorded somewhere in France in the 1950's, specific location/date unknown, and it it's my all-time favorite version of this beautiful song. Check it out :-)Pete
Sweetheart of the Rodeo
(Untitled)
I think that it makes me something of a Byrds heretic to proclaim these two as my favorite Byrds albums...at least it would have circa 1971. Both CDs contain bonus tracks that enhance, rather than detract from, the original albums (hearing the original Gram Parsons vocals on several of the "Sweetheart" songs is worth the price of the CD itself. Regardless of whatever combination of legal problems and McGuinn insecurity kept them off the official release, I find it striking just how close McGuinn and Hillman in their own interpretations stuck to feel of Parsons' original takes).
I just saw Roger McGuinn a couple of weekends ago and seem to be on a bit of Byrds jag right now. There are worse places to be...

I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I had
To find you I'd suffer anything and be glad
I'd pay any price just to get you
I'd work all my life and I will
To win you I'd stand naked, stoned and stabbed
I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had
I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I got
To catch you I'm gonna run and never stop
I'd pay any price just to win you
Surrender my good life for bad
To find you I'm gonna drown an unsung man
I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had
I sit looking 'round
I look at my face in the the mirror
I know I'm worth nothing without you
In life one and one don't make two
One and one make one
And I'm looking for that free ride to me
I'm looking for you
I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I got
To catch you I'm gonna run and never stop
I'd pay any price just to win you
Surrender my good life for bad
To find you I'm gonna drown an unsung man
I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had
Bargain by >The Who
I love The Who, xo!

This song is a sherbear favorite! Listen 3 times for 1st 3 days and then 2X's for a month and desired effect will become ingrained mentally. LOL. Ha!
Thank You For Being A Friend!
Old School
Nils in the E Street Band and Nels (Cline) in Wilco, knock-out guitarists whose marquee bands don't feature their talents nearly enough. Maybe it's the first name?
Old and In The Way... right after Elephant Mountain. It's got nothing to do with old though!Subliminally I do have to wonder... with "Grandpa" Banana's new album release. And I am too now I guess (a grandpa.) Oh well. Age is an abstraction!
Peace all,

Early Ellington 4/07/27 just one tune
Milt Jackson "Lewis, Heath, Clarke & Donaldson" 4/07/52
Dizzy Gillespie "Birk's Works" 4/07/57
Jimmy Smith "Cool Blues" 4/07/58
Miles Davis "Jack Johnson" 4/07/70 ("Yesternow")
Grateful Dead Empire Pool Wembley 4/08/72 (2nd set - I cheated)
I had "my" show of the handful I saw, but one such as the above renders any and all I may have seen inconsequential, I'm afraid.
I have been watching a very good new documentary film called "Dawn of the Dead: The Grateful Dead & The Rise of the San Francisco Underground"
Fascinating material with some great footage of primal Dead. Don't miss it! It is already available in the UK, but release in the US seems to be in May
Comes A Time
Lyrics By: Robert Hunter
Music By: Jerry Garcia
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand (note 1)
Says "don't you see?"
Gotta make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up
You got an empty cup
Only love can fill
Only love can fill
Been walking all morning
Went walking all night
I can't see much difference
Between the dark and light
And I feel the wind
And I taste the rain
Never in my mind
To cause so much pain
From day to day
Just letting it ride
You get so far away
From how it feels inside
You can't let go
'Cause you're afraid to fall
But the day may come
When you can't feel at all
THANKS FURTHUR
THANKS ROB HB, XO
THANKS ROBERT & JERRY
THANKS ALL
I LOVE COMES A TIME AND YOU, ALL
It's indescribable how much....

Bright Side of the Road
by: Van Morrison, 1979
From the dark end of street
To the bright side of the road
We'll be lovers once again
On the bright side of the road.
Little darlin' come with me
Won't you help me share my load
From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road.
Into this life we're born
Baby sometimes we don't know why
And time seems to go by so fast
In the twinkling of any eye.
Let's enjoy it while we can
Won't you help me sing my song
From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road.
From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road
We'll be lovers once again
On the bright side of the road
We'll be lovers once again
On the bright side of the road.

Dark Star
Lyrics By: Robert Hunter
Music By: Garcia, Hart, Kreutzmann, Lesh, McKernan, Weir
Dark star crashes (note a)
Pouring its light into ashes
Reason tatters
The forces tear loose from the axis
Searchlight casting
For faults in the clouds of delusion
Shall we go, you and I, while we can?
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds
Mirror shatters
In formless reflections of matter
Glass hand dissolving
To ice petal flowers revolving
Lady in velvet
Recedes in the nights of goodbye
Shall we go, you and I, while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?
Ahhh and a delightful JAM.
This jam is so philosophic and has a
conversational endearment that is highly
evolved. The band members are actuating
a cosmic and deliberate symphony for?
Something surely worth the pleasure of it.
I am serene and feeling so>>>
New Potato Caboose
Lyrics By: Phil Lesh
Music By: Bobby Petersen
Last leaf fallen, bare earth where green was born
Above my doorknob, two eagles hang against a cloud (note 1)
Sun comes up blood red
Wind yells among the stone
All graceful instruments are known
When the windows all are broken
And your love's become a toothless crone
When the voices of the storm sound
Like a crowd
Winter morning breaks, you're all alone
The eyes are blind--
Blue visions are all a seer can own
And touching makes the flesh to cry out loud
This ground on which the seed of love is sown
All graceful instruments are known
I could never hear All the graceful instruments enough!
Each so unique and then the one and the other one.

With Coltrane you've committed an unprecedented breach of conventional listening! I LOVE it....BUT, I really came to attention with Jah Woosh (Neville Beckford - WOOT!) who's always reminded me of my favorite prog-reggae artist Eek-A-Mouse, especially that killer album "Assassinator"....oh my, it's been awhile since I've listened 'in that direction'; thanks for the signpost!
