    harmonicas play skeleton keys

    Dennis - it said on the news last week that the sale of harmonicas has gone up since "A Complete Unknown" started showing.
    I tried to play one when I was a teenager - but could never get to grips it. Plus it seemed to upset the cat. If it had gone missing for a while, I used to stand at the back door and blow into it. In no time at all, the cat would appear, running into the house with it's tummy close the the floor. If I played when it was already in the house it used to start crying. Funny what you remember.

    From the 30 Trips Box ...

    I haven't listened to it in a couple of years - Jerry is in Great form, Phil sings his heart out, Bobby plays some interesting licks early and (oof) over-screams several times to ostensibly check the mikes (ouch!) as the crew hammer, presumably, one of Bill's foot pedals back in. At one point, Jerry says "Everything's gone Weird, All at Once" and they try a fairly sweet Mama Tried (not often a fave for me) that takes two tries to get off the ground ... Perhaps the beer was not good?? Bob says something "smells like cat-piss" You hear "Let's F*in do it! and then Pig launches into A Man's Man's World - the jam is not quite as the expansive marvel of Harpur College 2-3 weeks later, and they seem not to (yet) have the most confident way to close it out. But IMO, both Phil and the vocals are recorded better. Candyman is interesting/good (to me) for being an electric performance of the (more common in early '70) acoustic arrangement. Hard to Handle is performed a bit more slowly than later versions, with the great syncopated middle stretch rave-up being shorter- early times & just starting to take shape, I guess. Jerry's killer solos in Cumberland rock it out to close the disc.

    The other half is pretty freakin awesome as well. Especially, but not at all limited to: The 'flying' Latin-Flavored Caution-ish Jam that arises from Drums and has Mickey (and/or a guest?) absolutely Hammering the small skins, then goes off into the intro for The Other One (Hot) that segues, uniquely(?) into Dire Wolf.
    There is a distinct recall of parts/bars in the flying 6 minute jam that also +/- flows in between the 4.26.72 100 Year Hall versions of Lovelight and GDtRFB - which is Way up there on my list. So to this Head, it's VERY worth your time/attention - whenever you happen to come around to it.

    Edit: Dancin' in the Streets (with excellent Darkness, Darkness jam in the middle - AKA, at least to me = 'proto'-Eyes) ... Also very good/worthwhile 👍

    Cheers All

    As part of my 1970 dive I hit the Festival Express and 5/24/70 video (disc 2 of LST). Always cool to check out these archival chestnuts, every now and then, from time to time…

Currently rewatching Couch Tour of the Austin show. Charlotte, Austin, how lucky you were!! Some great shows this tour. Never was in a position to follow the band thru tours. Had to pick my shows. The couch Tour is pretty great, especially for an old guy. Hope this isn’t wrong. Not trying to promote or advertise them, but thrilled to see every show of a tour, so conveniently.

AOXOMOXOA 50th anniversary disc 1- 1969 original mix

This entire production is first class, from the 3D cover (a la rolling stones satanic majesty) which I certainly would have appreciated staring at back in the day, it is truly wonderous.
The sound is perfect, the live stuff sounds better than ever, but really should use the original shows complete, in the order that the Dead created them.

Listening to Good morning little schoolgirl by the Dead and comparing it to Ten Year After version...well, what to say, as much as I dig Alvin Lee (RIP), I MUST say that Jerry's version has more soul to it. Great cover by the Dead (off their debut album!).
