Grateful Dead

I notice that "MISS "Donna Jean Godchaux is on the track as well! She was a Muscle Shoals vocalist. Makes sense.

interesting to see that name. rolling stone has an article about Kim Gordon + someone doing a something. Body/Head https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zMBbDMuO4s&list=PLR3AfS9hAf8XD8F6WolKd… i listened to some. you might like it, you might hate it. it would probably be awesome to hear driving on a "dark desert highway" with a full moon at night, in the right frame of mind ;) it's what made me post about Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music yesterday. Kim Gordon is 64 freaking years old. sonic youth was a band I liked and didn't like simultaneously. "pretentious genius" is my term for SY. Steal Your Youth

recommended!!! prank on me (no complaints): I got out 8/28/82. put in what was labelled disc one. April Fool in July...it's actually disc 2.

Right you are, Simon. From Boz: As things turned out at the very end of the sessions we had a small amount of time left and everyone who'd been involved were all there. Now it was very difficult to get everyone in the studio at one time because Muscle Shoals wasn't very big. We had the horns out in the corridor, I was singing in the rest room next to the soda machine, and Duane was enclosed with his amplifier in a kind of broom closet in the middle. We just started to run it through for one take to make sure that everyone knew where they were going, and then because time was running out, went for one final take. The energy that was in the room was just fantastic; Roger Hawkins on the drums really got into the thing, changing up the tempo several times, and the sax player just came up with this riff that the others fell into. And of course Duane's playing was just out of sight. I know the cuts from Anthology and Boz Scaggs (album) are from the same sessions.. the seem to at least be different mixes as the times are different. Someone out there might have a better answer than this, if I get a chance I will revisit later and give them a closer listen. I saw Phil's band do this in either 2007 or 2008 and this kid seemingly fresh out of high school named Jackie Green really nailed the vocals and did an amazing job on guitar to boot (well.. he was clean cut and looked very young). I left that night asking myself, who was that kid with all the guitars and the voice... Doesn't quite stack up to the original, but it's worth a listen. Nothing on YouTube for that, but the Archive has us covered. https://archive.org/details/paf2007-11-03.sbd.phillesh.net.89182.flac16

phish will be having a free webcast of tonight's show. livephish.com will have details if interested.

....Santa Fe is right around the corner.

Is the version on the Duane Allman anthology the one from the Boz Scaggs album? If so, it is indeed a killer, if not then you owe it to yourself to check out that Boz album. Allegedly Duane's guitar track was recorded in the studio toilet. Whether this was for the acoustics or there was too little room in the studio I know not. Incidentally, that album was recently reissued in England as a 2 CD set by Edsel Records, 2015. One CD was the original 1969 release, the other was the 1977 remix. Now where have I come across that situation recently?

Pre-Fall '83 Tour rolls on with a nice show at Red Rocks. Again, the mix and the playing are spot on. This Help Slip Franks is ON FIRE. Whew. If Boise is as good as 9-4 and 9-6 we're in for a real treat. I admit, '83 has been a blind spot for me, with just the Hartford Dick's Picks and the 10-21 Centrum 30 Trips show. I'm really digging this mini-tour. I'm also a big fan of the various sounds Brent's coaxing out of his keyboards. I know not everyone is down with the synth sounds, but I think they add a nice variation to the songs. Pre drums jam is as good as advertised in the comments on archive. As you were.

Sonic Youth will never sound like anything else
