Lyrics to My Sisters And Brothers :
I wanna say to my sisters and my brothers
Keep the faith,
When the storm flies and the wind blows
Go on at a steady pace,
When the battle is fought and the victory is won
We call all shout together,
"We have overcome!"
We'll talk to the Father and the Son
When we make it to the Promised Land.
Chorus:
Walk together little children,
You don't ever have to worry,
Through this world of trouble
We gotta love one another,
Let's take our fellow man by the hand
Try to help him to understand
We will all be together for ever and ever
When we make it to the promised land.
Our Bible reads,
"Thou shall not be afraid
Of the terror by night
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Nor for the pestilence
That walketh in the darkness,
Nor for the destruction
That waiteth in the noonday hour."
Chorus
This world is not our own,
We're only passing through,
Our treasure's all laid up
Way beyond the blue,
Let's do the very best that we can
While we're traveling through this land
We can all be together,
Shakin' our hair,
When we make it the Promised Land.
Children, we can
Make it to the Promised Land, (repeat a bunch of times)
We can all be together
For ever and ever
When we make it to the Promised Land.
The Grifter's Hymnal
This album is real good.
If I was going to name a probable guest star on a RWH album, Ringo Starr probably would not have made the list. If I was going to name a songwriter that he might cover, Richard Starkey would not have made my list either. But "Coochy Coochy" is there with Ringo singing and playing, and somehow it all still fits.
Not from "Coochy Coochy":
And sure I drank a lot of gin and tonic
But I never threw away my Panasonic
I kept that turntable through my divorce
Playing Neil Young and Crazy Horse
Drunk out of my mind singing Tonight’s The Night
It was as lethal on vinyl as China White
Listening to the 7-27-1973 Watkins Glen Summer Jam Soundcheck......"And the fields are full of dancing, full of singing and romancing….and the Music Never Stopped”!
I've recently been listening to a site called radioio dot com / channels / dead. All Dead, all the time, with some commercials. They go real deep into the good stuff. Haven't been disappointed with it at all since I stumbled into it last week. But, you have to refresh if you want to see what you just heard. Check it out, it's a winner.
It's Sunday Morning Kinda, xo. We're Including Jerry and His All
with endearing love, xo.
This is a song from a band I adore
and I hope you listening to it @
least 3 times. All their songs are
as delightful too :)

Peace Be With You All, XO!

Living the Blues
Refried Boogie (Parts 1 & 2)
Whoa! Haven't listened to this in 35-40 years! Found it used at Amoeba Records. As I'm listening I can hear it could be the blueprint for the ABB's "You Don't Love Me" - or vice versa. Awesome and wonderful excess!!!
Low Down
So here's a little unabashed hometown boosterism, sort of. Check these guys out if you like Americana Rock (a little rock when you twang, a little twang when you rock). Well worth the listen, well worth the purchase.
The Mallett Brothers are based in Portland, ME, which is not my hometown. The two Malletts in the band are sons of David Mallett, a folk singer who's been toiling in semi-obscurity for getting close to 40 years -- his closest brush with fame was probably as the songwriter of "The Garden Song," covered by many and a minor hit for John Denver some decades back. David IS from my little town of birth nestled in the backwoods of Maine.
Hey excellent news about the Jerry release. I'm a little concerned that the website doesn't appear to be close to operational (a front page and a link to a sparsely-stocked store is not much to go on), but we have some hope!

I seem to have a couple of handsful of newish Americana albums in the queue right now.
"Lardy boy" Mr Badger? Is there a nagano pancake in our midst?
There are obviously so many great live shows, but I personally feel like Live/Dead kind of best represents their late 60's sound, and Europe '72 (once I went and got the original tracks for about of it, those which were sped up so much on the offical release they sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks play the Dead) is just the best you can do to represent the 72-72 era. But I know '77 is thought of as another great year, and all I have so far is a rather underwhelming (In my opinion) show from 4-30 (Download Series, Vol. 1). What would anyone suggest as THE one, single show to have from '77, official release or otherwise? I tend to lean toward the officials only because the sound quality tends to be slightly better than the stuff available on Archive.
Free: 10-29-77 The Dead in '77 had a lot to do with raging, right? Get the recent Charlie Miller Aud - they were all the way on this night. (It was a Saturday)
Dick's Picks 15. 9-03-77 After being "unable" to play for a spell, they bust out big time - Jerry is en fuego!!! My faves are 1/2 Step, Music, Loser, Estimated>Eyes... There's a radio broadcast out there with Jerry way more front-and-center than here - this is the connoisseur's version. (It, too, was a Sat)
Dick's picks 29, 5-19 & 21-77. The first show has an electrifying Sugaree as well as a tremendous second set. The second show has Scarlet >Fire and is probably a hair better overall. (Thurs. & Sat.)
AND there are three Winterland runs to be had via the Archive and Dead.net - for purchase, downloads and vines. Suerte, suerte.
Thanks, you've definitely given me some homework! So, do you think the "Great" 5-8-77 Barton Hall show is overrated, or great but there are better? I noticed you didn't mention it. I DLed it yesterday but haven't listened to it yet.
Or could they have picked better versions of a lot of the songs on Reckoning? I have a bunch of stuff from that Warfield run and Jerry's voice sound much better on the unofficial stuff. Also I hate how loud they mixed the crowd on that album.
Been driving around listening to the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band this weekend
This band supported the Grateful Dead at the Boston Tea Party in 1969! What a wild show that must have been.
Quadrophenia (Deluxe)
I've never seen the Who, just got tix to see them in November performing Quadrophenia.
The "deluxe" part is Pete Townshend's demos of the songs on the album. His demos sound better than a lot of bands' final products...
The big release of '90's shows inspired me to dust off Dozin. I've had if for a long time but never got that into it. It never ceases to amaze me how I can listen to a dead show many times and not find it very interesting and then all of sudden, the mood is right or something, and it will blow me away. They certainly were hot in the fall of '90 if the music captured on Dozin' is any indication. I also pulled out my copy of Without a Net, which was released in '90. Anybody know when that material was recorded???
we welcome you ... on behalf of the band ...
Grateful Dead Great American Music Hall 8/13/75 aka One From the Vault
A good number of Fat dates this month ...
They're indeed a band beyond description.
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!
peace/k
