Grateful Dead

After another classical compilation, some Bill Evens, then onto 1966
6/1 meh
6/15 Very Nice! From DG GD hour. Not sure what number and his notes say date is unknown? Buts it’s a real nice one and only 35 minutes so nice to get a quick taste of primal!
7/1 another nice one worth checking out!
7/17 Fillmore another nice one! (2 actually ? both good)
And yes I went out of sequence as time dictated… mañana I’ll swing back to 7/3 from Boxilla and hopefully 7/16/66…
Onward!

Paris72 like Lydeum26,great shows; got it on vinyl with Wembley 4/8 to find a balance (Dark star/Other one); just going on with april78,not a favorite show, but Huttington could match Duke; dave57 reach the coast of this brave new world;
Buick 6 (lu Williams band) play with others worth a listen
Charles Lloyd & the marvels vanished gardens, /sems like biograph fo a retired gardener like me
this one for Daverock :Gong 2032 amazing sound spacy & trippy, a strange remain of their best albums(-angels eggs/ fying tea pot / you)

Believe I saw them a couple times on nugs?
Ok, decent musicians etc, but like much of “jam” bands didn’t take me anywhere, just endless noodling (though I hate that word). I know it doesn’t make sense that a 35 minute DS does, but some how, TGOGD always seem to eventually transport me someplace, even if the destination is seen unclearly lol Even The ABB, who I love and saw several times, can sometimes fall into the former more than the latter.
And lyrics…reason I’m not a big Fan of Phish either. Their great musicians but their songs and silly lyrics just don’t really resonate for me? I mean not everyone can have a Robert Hunter, or Barlow for that matter!
I admit I haven’t spent a lot of time on them, though I did spend some back late nineties as the college kids I was in a band with were influenced and trying to write like Phish and Zappa. Somewhere I have a copy of A Live One, and I worked with a guy briefly who would play shows on-site. I did like some of the good, big weird jam stuff, but just never connected with their songs per say…but hey, that’s just one old bastards take, so probably meaningless, though I would ask that you please get off my lawn!

So now back to my quest and 1966…
Onward

Cool sheet Colin! I only briefly check a tad bit of Heaven and Hell, but I liked it. Sorta reminds me of my Oregon albums? Sorta…

My friend took me to the 11/7/24 show in Pittsburgh. It was ok, but I thought they sounded to much like Phish (who I like) The young folks were digging it though.

Theta 7 - Orchestra of the Upper Atmosphere
This will be their last album. I recommend all 7 albums

I don't know much from them but i do like Hungersite and Animal. There is a cool vid on u tube of Goose doing Animal with Animal from The Muppet Show. It's from Newport Folk Festival 7/29/23. It's a fun watch!

Heard 3 songs from Getting Killed (2025 release) on a public radio Tiny Desk Concert series article. All were mellow and since it's my 1st venture into them I would have to say pretty boring. I'm sure there must be something there and from what everyone here is saying it will be worth searching out, but from only this exposure I wouldn't even bother. Didn't really see the musicianship and on these 3 songs the singer's voice didn't draw me in either. Rather monotone. (The songs were Husbands, Cobra, and Half Real.)
Cheers
