Grateful Dead

8/28/82 Oregon County Fair?
I don't think I've ever really listened to this one, I may have picked through it, I don't know. I do know I like this Althea, as I like most Altheas, except for maybe the one on 55, Ha!

Otherwise I've been putting 9/15/72 through its paces, and I did a one time through the new Jerry, which is really quite nice, very solid release.

I always wanna listen to EVERY damn thing at the same time...

damn this IS a solid Althea... :)

Live At The Oval 1971

Almost 9 minute "Baby Don't You Do It"

New Release from 8 track reels!

CD's levels are a bit high mix isn't too bad!

Did anyone grab the Vinyl and how does it sound?

Happy Pole Guy Day y'all!

(And Bobby had "Rosa's" for lunch in Berkeley, not roses) ;)

Which lead me to the album that starts with my favorite train song.

Tony Rice Manzanita.

Old Train, I can hear your whistle blow
And I want to be jumping on again
Old Train, I've been everywhere you go
And I know what lies beyond each bend

Old Train, each time you pass
You're older than the last
And it seems I'm too old for running
I hear your rusty wheels grate against the rails
They cry with every mile
And I think I'll stay awhile

He's great with Garcia on the Pizza Tapes, too. A masterful bluegrass guitarist, one of the best.

Excellent

The devolution thing: SPOT ON. You know what I mean.

What I found most interesting about the Devo doc. was how the were a reaction to the times and a portent of what was follow 40 years later, I didn’t realize the influence of H.G. Wells’ Island of lost souls and the other movie mentioned in the doc. it is a great documentary

Telling me you got to get back to Tennessee.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

still listening to Devo greatest hits as I prep for the approaching months

Deserted Cities of the Heart. Wow what a rocker! I wish I could have been at those shows.

Maybe? I was Haiku when it came to me. ;-0

Fires away on freshly oiled six cylinders.

Recording is subtle but snatches you up nicely.

I was haiku...

Very witty, very very witty

Morning, rockers!!!

Right now? Second set of December 1, 1971. Because why not.........

Well played, well recorded, well loved. Underrated and rarely spoken of. Pigpen is back, December 71 was a great month for the band, and this kicks it off in fine fashion. Always always worth a listen........

And yes my friends, I am still here, lurking, while life pulls me in ten different directions at once...........

The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge......

Rock on, ride safe, find the joy!!!

Doc
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.....

I was having a look at what shows I'd got from August this morning, and came across this one, which I haven't played for yonks. 3 sets are sampled, and I listened to what I have always thought of as the highlight, first. The Other One-Uncle-Other One jam from 8/6/71. Works like a charm - great !
Then I went back to the first cd and listened to 8/7/71. Much, much better than I remembered it. A very sturdy show indeed, with Phil high in the mix and Jerry getting a great tone and rocking the joint on either a strat or a Les Paul Junior. In the photos in the booklet, he is shown playing both, but I don't know which one he is playing on 8/7 - I'd like to think it was the Les Paul.

King gizzard

Rats nest album

Excellent workout music

Is that album a parody, tribute, for real, an experiment...whatever it is, I dig it.

PERI, PERIHELION!!!

11/3/65

Nice 'n raw

From 30 Trips

Tasty

Disc 5, Philly Spectrum, Dylan and the Band, first couple of shows they seem to working out the dynamics, by this show it coalesces into what I love about both.

7/17/66

I was 2.5 years old

WOW.

and 2/3 of a continent away

Can you imagine being at these shows?

"It" was still legal

You are experiencing and witnessing history

WOW.

Amazing.

Hearing his stuff now for the first time.

You NEVER hear his stuff. It's plenty good.

Seems to be sold out..

I’ve just taken up a three month free trial of Apple Music. So I’m looking through the available albums and I noticed ‘Last Live 2001 - In Memoriam Derek Bailey and Tony Oxley’ by Joseph Holbrooke, I’m on to the second track as I write this. Some wonderful free improvisations so far. I thought I had all the released music by this trio (Bailey, Oxley and Gavin Bryars). As the title suggests it was recorded live in Antwerp and was their last live concert. So, one day in and the free trial has already cost me £19.99 because I’ve ordered the cd! How much more by the end of November? I recommend it to those with adventurous ears.
Yesterday’s discovery was a Chicago group Natural Information Society who I had never heard of, before seeing them mentioned in the new, 500th, issue of The Wire magazine. They also sound well worth checking out.

Great set by Soft Machine at the Pizza Express in London last night. A celebration of original member Mike Ratledge's music. I made a bit of a gaff not booking for tonight too, when they return to their more usual repertoire. Still, they are back again in November.

Johnny Winter was amazing. The Progressive Blue Experiment ( which isn't progressive at all) is a good one - and the 2nd one. My copy of that includes a wild show at The Royal Albert Hall from 1970.
As well as his own albums he also made 3 good ones with Muddy Waters - Hard Again is really good. In fact it was listening to that one that got me into Mud.

Like Bread Pudding on a cold winters night. Comfort food for the mind. One of my earliest boots, haven't listened to it in at least 15 years.

Pure poetry

Bread pudding is really good stuff

An early show in my collection too.

Please release it, Dave and pals

Truckin' -> Eyes -> China Doll

Picture Meg Ryan in that diner wink wink nudge nudge

Jerry Garcia Band, January 27, 1976
This appears to be Keith and Donna's first JGB show, it's really just lovely, especially considering he had a different lineup only like two weeks before.

I have it on the google drive if anyone has trouble finding it.

:)))

on the way in today: all the smoke and crud in the air made the sun look like a big deeply orange circle in the sky

ugly beauty

Correction edit - Oops, DaP 11, not from the box. (new to me, Thx BC)
Sounds great so far!
Will report later.
Cheers
Wow, 16 songs in the 1st set!
And 2nd starts with a Cumberland.
Big spacey TOO much like the EU72 ones.
Overall excellent show.
Superb filler from 11-15-72 as well. Whoa, that Playin' is monumental!

(minor technical correction) is DaP 11 w/ my favorite cover art of the whole DaP series

Awesome show - they may have been playing Wichita but they weren't always in Kansas :)

Second set is super-echelon.

"Hello, hello, hello?

No, I'm not talking to you.....

......I'm talking to the monitors.

They seem bass happy."

Such things only said when having fun :-)

Exile on Main Street
