Grateful Dead

Thanks BCE'd, for adding some context to that historical ditty. The amazing thing is.. with what little they played of that song and without vocals, it's amazing anyone figured out what song it was. I had never heard of it. One of the things that I really like about the Grateful Dead is the respect they pay to traditional and roots music. Influences include Harry Smith's Anthology of American Music, Cannon Jug Stompers, Obray Ramsey, John and Allan Lomax, Bonnie Dobson, Dixie Cups, Rev. Gary Davis, Woodie Guthrie and the like.. just to name a few. The songs themselves are every bit as important as the skill in which they are played. Obscure and interesting. Thanks for giving us something to talk about.. a big step up from farm animals.

I used to hear this song many years ago as a young boy and I didn't know the tile until decades later when David Lemieux and crew selected the 3/28/72 Academy of Music in New York show to be Dick's Picks 30 in 2003. This show includes a segment of Sidewalks as tune-up for the encore of One More Saturday Night. Here is the original 1928 recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mhi4_CjgdA Only 90 years ago. I thank Dave Lemieux & crew AND Deadhead and 1971 advocate, forensicdoceleven for turning me on again to this little ditty. Doc sent me 3/28/72 about a year ago as it was in circulation before it was released as Dick's 30.

Shows up at a conference. He heads over to the reception table to check in. "Hi, name's Onomatopoeia." "Yes, and how do you spell that?" "Just like it sounds."

March 28, 1969http://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/03-28-1969 Modesto Junior College Student Center Modesto, California This is another show from Spring of 1969 where the Dead deliver every single night. And this show from Modesto Junior College is as good as any of them. The tape cuts into a raging Schoolgirl, which Pig struts through in full-on bad-ass form. After Pig gives a quick “thank you” at the end, the band completely switches gears, rolling out a fantastic Dark Star. It is marvelous from the start, but the last half - as Jerry drives forward with crystalline runs - is sure to raise goosebumps. Problem-laden, but still so good, versions of Stephen and The Eleven follow before a haunting, perfectly rendered Death Don’t Have No Mercy comes forth. Then, Pig asserts control once again, driving a balling Lovelight, which Jerry and the drummers make sublime. The second set is a bit short, made up entirely of an Other One suite that is fairly standard fare - meaning downright incredible - for 1969.
