    We all seem to post past one another here, but I must say that you undoubtedly have the most eclectic personal taste in music that I've ever encountered. While nothing has yet struck me, I do listen - and look forward - to your diverse audio samples! Keep 'em coming!/thanks, kate

    #11 upon arrival most of yesterday, today back to my latest find, Tull (well it's a timely discovery for MY life's journey)...I suspect TAAB may well have just permanently catapulted into my all-time top 5 albums list. Holy cow! As proof that '77 was a gr8 year for someone other than the Dead, I give you the mad genius of IA and JT: peace, kate

    English Translation You are dead, you are dead, my dearest, And I breathe, you have left me, You have left me forevermore, Never to return, and I remain- No, no, if my verses have any power, I will go confidently to the deepest abysses, And, having melted the heart of the king of shadows, Will bring you back to me to see the stars again, Or, if pitiless fate denies me this, I will remain with you in the company of death. Farewell earth, farewell sky, and sun, farewell.

    Your canonization of PL is spot-on in my book! :)) The more I read, the more I understand that he is a seminal figure in the evolution of the bass guitar from a simple anchor line to rhythm support. Because of his quick wit and native intelligence, interviews are always an intriguing affair. Perhaps one of my favorite, and also the most surprising, responses came during a Jackson interview (of course!) in April 90, to which Phil averred, in response to a question regarding musical influences: "...I don't study other bassists, and I don't think I've really drawn much from them. In my own style of playing, such as it is, I've been influenced more by Bach than by any bassists. Actually, you can go back even further - Palestrina, sixteenth century modal counterpoint." Okay, now I could identify diverse influences of the blues, jazz, country, western, balladic, and even carribean (Aiko) musical traditions in the Dead's catalogue, but 16th century modal counterpoint had eluded me entirely!/kate

    As I alluded to on the #11 thread, I've recently discovered Tull; despite the usual studio reccos for newbies from a couple JT boards, my first choice - after copious sampling on Amazon and iTunes - was a '77 live comp (specifically, "Bursting Out", which would be absolutely no surprise to Heads :)) ). Anyway, "A Passion Play" arrived in the mail yesterday and I listened with a sense of rapturous epiphany on the way in for some unscheduled (and blessedly quiet) time at the office. However, in one of those queer alignments of cosmic circumstance, my draw from the Toscanini RCA box - that is, for listening once in the office - was AT & the NBC SO's rendition of Haydn's Symphony No.88*; an extraordinary coincidence because I was immediately struck by a strong similarity between the powerful musical currents of the 2 works! Sadly, my lack of technical musical education or general knowledge correlates with a deficient vocabulary in this area that precludes a more satisfying explanation of these congruencies. Still, a pretty neat observation among pieces written approximately 185 years apart! *Given the forum, I feel inclined to specify that the piece was recorded in studio on 3/8/38 ;) ...deadheads and dates...(and yes, that's nineteen thirty-eight (magnificent sound, by the way)/ peace,kate

    uh..... I dunno, that new Dave's Picks? Wichita anyone?
    A pleasant thing to come home to. Kudos to the United States Postal Service! The new Dave's Picks is pretty sweet, and not just because it's from '72. As usual, the latest release sounds great, but I love the context.... the Dead were in the middle of an amazing run that saw them perform over 50 shows in the last half of '72, a show every three or four days. They bounced around the country daring tour heads to keep up.While I enjoy the local perspective as expressed in the liner notes, I wish Dave (or whomever) would have included some historical perspective as it relates to this awesome run of Dead shows. This Wichita show is but one of many incredible performances that summer and fall. A slice of the Dead at their peak. I'm still deep into playing this for the first time, but already the standout tunes are the Jack Straw (yeh, yeh, I know... Jack Straw from Wichita), followed by a pretty new Box 'o Rain. Yeah, the Box is sketchy, but Phil's bass line from the previous J Straw had me distracted, I think he really is a God. Sweet China Rider transition, too. Truckin' Other One Brokedown looms.... we'll see how it goes.

Badger, I hadn't heard of them either, saw them opening for Drive-By Truckers last fall. They came out playing "Hold On" ... I was dancing almost immediately and did not stop until they left the stage, which is saying something for these old bones. And I walked away with a memento: something frisbee'd from the stage to the crowd at the end of the show -- a setlist written on a paper plate, ended up in my hands.

of WBGO fm since I've been spending a LOT of time in cars lately and they broadcast in my local market, as well as online at www.wbgo.org. If you fancy a jazz fix and can pry yourselves away from the Dead channel on SiriusXM or gdradio.com they are a reliable fix. Even heard them track a selection from the recent David Bromberg/Levon Helm collaboration during the Blues hour (3-4pm ET) as a nod to Levon. Just making a suggestion. If your mother doesn't like it tell her to write her Congressman...

Generally those freebie record company compilation cds are very hit-and-miss -- stuff you love jammed up against stuff you hate, at least in my experience. But...this time through I grabbed a New West Records collection of NPR "World Cafe" live selections, and with a couple of a handfuls of my favorites (Buddy Miller, Steve Earle, Old 97's, Drive-By Truckers, Jason Isbell, The Flatlanders, Tom Morello, Mark Olson & Gary Louris, and more), it was hard to go wrong. I might even give this one a second spin.. Mamas and Grandmamas love you 'Cause that's all they know how to do But you never planned on those bombs in the sand Or sleeping in your dress blues. -Jason Isbell

Despite the dearth of jams, and despite the WOS vocals that sometimes seem to slice right through my head (I've got a fair amount of higher-frequency hearing loss; you'd think that these sibilant vox would help compensate for my hearing deficiencies, but no, instead they sometimes edge over into white noise territory for me-- a little unpleasant), I'm very much enjoying this one.

Sirius XM, just caught the tail end of 4/28/71, Fillmore East. St Stephen > NFA > GDTRFB > NFA Going Down the Road features an additional verse: I'm going where those chilly winds don't blow I'm going where those chilly winds don't blow Going where those chilly winds don't blow Don't want to be treated this way. The first time I heard this, I thought that Jerry was singing "I'm going where those shitty winds don't blow." And maybe he was. But probably not.

Beatles -- Magical Mystery Tour. Not exactly a favorite Beatles album, but I've always loved the non-album singles that Capitol included on the US (now the "standard") LP version of MMT. Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever was the first record that I ever bought, it's still one of the best double A-side singles that I've ever heard. I ran into a "40 best albums released in 1967" list just a little bit ago. I didn't start buying albums until 1969 (too young, no money), so it was a little surprising to me that I had a goodly number of these sitting on my shelf, most in vinyl, and most in vinyl AND CD. A pretty good year, I think: Grateful Dead -- Grateful Dead Beatles -- Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Magical Mystery Tour Jimi Hendrix Experience -- Are You Experienced? Axis: Bold As Love Doors -- The Doors Strange Days Rolling Stones -- Between the Buttons Jefferson Airplane -- Surrealistic Pillow After Bathing at Baxter's Moby Grape -- Moby Grape Big Brother and the Holding Company -- Big Brother and the Holding Company Pink Floyd -- Piper at the Gates of Dawn Byrds -- Younger Than Yesterday Aretha Franklin -- I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You Velvet Underground -- VU and Nico Cream -- Disraeli Gears Arlo Guthrie -- Alice's Restaurant Moody Blues -- Days of Future Passed Bob Dylan -- John Wesley Harding The Who -- The Who Sell Out Donovan -- Mellow Yellow Otis Redding and Carla Thomas -- King and Queen (and by the way, RIP "Duck" Dunn) Buffalo Springfield Again

The 23rd is a revelation. Own this or the odds may never be in your favor!The 24th is a struggle - Jerry's darn g-string gives him fits repeatedly! But there are plenty of shining moments, including those that wound up on Europe '72. The 25th is back to position "A". I'm listening to it now and, yes, the Feelin' Groovy is as good as it gets. How can this still be so amazing after 40 years? The 26th. We know this one. It knows us. Thank you, powers that be. And thank you to my fam for allowing me the spac e to listen to all this magic.

Gloryland Not new, but new to me -- the artist, that is. Checking him out in advance of seeing him open for Todd Snider in a few weeks. What I'm hearing from the album reminds me at times of James McMurtry, of Todd Snider, of Dave Alvin, of Steve Earle. Roosty rocking, great lyrics. The album was recorded in 2009, mixed/mastered in 2010, the copyright says 2012. What took so long? In the DIY land of what passes for today's music business (see this article by David Lowery, long but worth the time: http://thetrichordist.wordpress.com/2012/04/15/meet-the-new-boss-worse-… If you need a reason to support your favorite artists with your dollars, this should drive home the why of it), it probably took that long for Gordon to be able to afford to release the album. And in true DIY fashion, when you order the CD from his website, Gordon signs it for you, personalized if you wish. Not just once, mind you: signed the digipak, the CD itself, and an insert. Nice. And to echo Guitarman: RIP Doc Watson.

Just started set 2, via the archive. The version I'm listening to is a SBD/AUD composite, but its such a great show that I didn't try to fine a full SBD to listen to! I suggest giving it a listen.
