Grateful Dead

To be technical, I will start my 62nd trip around the sun

62...ho lee phuc

Mosaic's Woody Shaw Complete Muse Sessions. Woody's like Fall '77, generally underrated and relatively unappreciated simply by virtue of the Spring tour's epic shadow (which, in this weird and perhaps incompetent analogy would be its consensus human equivalents of Miles, Dizzy, and Louis, or my fave Donald Byrd).

Tonight, moving on to a couple mellow titles involving different Barney Wilen quartets, Paris Moods & French Story, the former preferable solely for Mal Waldron's work on keys.

I saw the ATL show.
Sammy Hagar came out and sang Loose Lucy with Joan.
I thought that Joan was a perfect fit for the band and was bummed that she wasn’t included in 2004.

Joan was a backup singer when Cheap Trick played Sgt. Pepper’s in its entirety for a room full of record execs.
I have the DVD. It’s cool.
Cheap Trick also did a residency in Vegas playing Sgt. Pepper’s. I think that Vguy made it to one of the shows.
They also did it next to an ice rink with ice skaters as a benefit for Scott Hamilton. It used to be on utoob, not sure if it is still there.

Road Trips vol 1, number 2 - October '77 & (later) the killer bonus disc material.
: ))

Edit: Just re-read the 'liner notes' for this one, by Steve Silberman. So sorry to hear of his recent passing ... Belated and fond thanks in memory of Steve i.e. for sharing all his love of the music/scene with us over these many years!

Longtime fan - had all the ECM records/tapes (Travels is my favorite) and caught him w/Lyle and band in '89, IIRC, or perhaps it was '90,? at the Greek Theater ... Thanks to my aunt & uncle for the tix. It was a great show. Saw him at the Orpheum a few years later as well when he had morphed over to the (fairly cool, but not quite as great) angular Thai-like sound/album ...
Selections from Under the Missouri Sky was the 'soundtrack' for our wedding - music for guests while seated, plus both the procession in & exit out. I still love his pure jazz playing - when that mood strikes - with the many duets and players over the years. So glad Vermonters had a chance to see him in such an intimate setting. These days however, I listen to much more Dead (heh heh).

Starts his 61st trip around the sun tomorrow. (he let his birthdate slip a few posts back, didn't think we were watching didja?) Hope you get a nice cake. (or a cheesecake, hint hint Dennis)
Cheers

Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock

very nice

as always: if any artist died too young, JH is it.

4-22-78
Edit insert: Jeez, how many don't you let that deal go downs was that? Going for the record number?
Finishing up my mini-tour of April '78.
That dang 30 days thing sucked me in.
Then the DiP 3 vinyl showed up.
"But I'll get back on my feet again
The good lord willing
If he says I may"
Still have DiP 52 in the wrapper, lol.
A bounty of riches.
Cheers
That was us about 25 rows up, middle right side at Red Rocks in '03. The guy in the Shakedown t-shirt. Love that Gilbert Shelton of the zoot-suited invisible man swingin' his chain! Wish they'd bring that one back. I'd put the sticker on my car again for sure.
Everybody who was there raise your hand. Or post. HF, was you there?

Solo Pat sounds awesome!
Saw him several times but always with Lyle and band.
Been digging my new Off-ramp and Missouri discs.

Dead on the Rocks! There both 03 & 04, good sheet Mon!
Wonder how many folks here inadvertently ran into each other BITD?

And S-W-B elsewhere tells tales of Merriweather 85…sigh

But enough nostalgia…where TF were we?
Oh yeah, 12/14/90
And
12/27/90

.... anyone able to download 31 days of dead?

So far all official stuff, so playlist can be made from in house stock, but still curious.
