Grateful Dead

A wonderful band back in the day. Great to hear they can still cut it. They were always better than the Rolling Stones in my book. Parents with daughters feared their influence more than that of the Rolling Stones - which should be considered a compliment of some sort.

Looks like its gonna be a white Christmas - on this website, at least.

Fantastic farewell gig by The Pretty Things in London two nights ago. They brought the house down for the final time with a blistering set that focussed on many of the great records they made in the 1960's leading up to the album Parachute. They also covered some authentic sounding country blues, with Dick Taylor playing superb acoustic slide. They also played a fair bit off their best album-one of the best psychedelic albums to come out of England-S.F.Sorrow, and the classic psych single Defecting Grey from the same year, 1968. They were joined by no less than Dave Gilmour, who jammed convincingly on several songs-a swell as a grumpy looking Van Morrison.
A truly great band and night.

Thanks Icecrmcnkd, Bob T., and Guss West. I got that email this evening as well, makes me feel a lot better to know that the replacement discs should be on the way soon. I kind of figured there were a lot of replacement discs needed based on the number of comments from folks who got skipping discs. I am really looking forward to playing this release through without skips, as it sounds fantastic other than the skips.

Nice to see an uptick in the rate of posting, I really dig reading everyone's comments on these releases and other things to check out.

I knew y'all would make it right, in the end.

Good on ya, "Mac" and Team Rhino!

As an aside, I understand why you had to create a new website, with the incumbent latest security features, but I am no longer contributing due to the onerous and sterile nature of the interaction. *Shrugs*

MOST IMPORTANTLY, THANK YOU FOR RELEASING THE SWING!!!
2-26-77 ARE BELONG TO US !!! !!!

Disc 3 Folks
SO sorry. You are not forgotten.

Just wondering if anyone who got skipping discs on this release has received replacement discs yet. I am still waiting for replacements for discs 1 and 3 myself.

Listening to the Road Trips '69 Big Rock Pow Wow release today. I picked it up recently and haven't had a chance to give it a full listen, but I saw someone on here (MDJim?) mention it in the last few days and thought I should try and give the whole thing a listen.

I always liked Bruce's solo stuff for the most part; I recall fondly that song 'Mandolin Rain' as it was playing a lot on the radio when I was enduring a devastating break up (why was it me always getting dumped?!?!), and that song just rang the true note of the soul in the same way that song describes. But it's pretty catchy nonetheless, if not a little lovey-ballady but hey they can't all be groovy rockers. He also does a solid Jack Straw on that 'Deadicated' album from the early '90's.

Of course I will use every opportunity to tout a favorite Bruce/Garcia-moment so do your soul a favor and go listen to this Foolish Heart - especially the jam at the end. OH Man. And the show overall is pretty great - indicative of the magic that was conjured during his tenure.
