    Re: Jai Ali Fronton

    Ha.. Jai Ali Fronton doesn't even mean Happy New Year. It's more or less Spanish racquetball or Spanish basketball..

    Too funny.. Every time I spend time on bolo clues, my IQ drops a point or two.

    Just to lead with a dead-related reference-- I don't recall anyone mentioning that after years of obscure, hard-to-figure out clues, Bolo recently gave us the easiest clue yet. The day before they announced the Jai Alai Fronton 1974 show, he posted New Years greetings in different languages with Jai Alai Fronton as one of the 'greetings.'

    Beer and Bell's. As a Madison/Milwaukee transplant to southwest Michigan, I am very happy to have Bell's and to a lesser extent Founder's in the area. I can't drink IPA or other hoppy beers because they bug my sinuses. After one year of drinking IPA at Mishawaka Brewing Co. and waking up with a completely stuffed up nasal passage, I finally figured out it was the hops. So, I try to stick to good lagers.

    Unfortunately in the micro-brewing industry, that generally means 'light' style beers. Bell's Lager of the Lakes was too hoppy the first year it was offered, but I have found that Founder's Solid Gold is a fine summer session beer. I suggest all brewers should visit the great state of Wisconsin to find out how to brew a good lager. Most of the microbreweries in Wisconsin offer solid lagers in addition to IPAs-- amber lagers, Dunkel lagers, Pilsner style lagers, etc.... I am particularly fond of Lakefront and Sprecher's offerings (Black Bavarian is a winter nectar).

    Bell's has been my go-to for 20 years. For many years, the Pale Ale (with the monk label as described) was my summer and the Porter was my winter. I miss that Pale Ale-- good character and not too hoppy. Oberon is good, but overrated anymore. I like it better on tap. I really like the Best Brown fall seasonal-- good, malty biscuit flavor. I see they have a new Belgian White Ale-- has anyone tried that? It looks intriguing. Bell's Porter is in the fridge and some will be consumed tonight.

    When I saw Ratdog or any other show at the Kzoo State Theater, I would hit Bell's for dinner and beers before the show and invariably would get lost on the way to the venue. The river and railroad tracks make for a weird street grid that I always struggled with on those nights.

    True story in thinking about small venues.... A good friend of mine from high school attended the University of Notre Dame. In the fall of 97, I went to visit him there. It was our junior year of college. He was living in a small house with some other dudes at the time, right outside of campus in South Bend. After the football game that Saturday a couple of his roommates played a live concert for their own house party of maybe 30-40 people tops. These dudes rocked it out...still remember standing right in front of my buddy’s roommate and guitarist Brendan Bayliss as he led the group through a flawless rendition of Cocaine. Right about that same time or shortly after they named themselves Umphrees McGee. Killer Band with one of the best improvisational guitar players in the world in Jake Cinninger. He is freakin unbelievable.

    Edit: A Rush tribute would be very cool. RDG is correct. These guys have a lot of their own material however their covers are flat out amazing. Saw them do some really good Smashing Pumpkins here in KC at another small venue called Crossroads. They are also coming here on April 2nd. Hope to score some back stage passes.

I had to give it up (only because I didn't want to die), but the breadth of the discussion is quite superb. I am jonesing for the Cream Box, which was just delayed a month, until March 6th.

    I know there are some Billy Strings fans out in these parts. Tonight and tomorrow there are free webcasts on the Relix Youtube channel. Free --- thats even cheaper than the Best of K Tel 8 track box set.

    Also Saturday is another free webcast from Ghost Light. TBH I haven't listened to them but they feature Ms Holly Bowling, who is the most jamalicious keyboard player this side of Page McConnell. Again on the Relix Youtube channel.

    And then on Sunday there's yet another free webcast on the Relix Youtube channel. Umphrey's McGee. I would bet some money on a Neil Peart / Rush tribute. I've seen them play YYZ and they crushed it. Their three percussionists together can almost pull off what Neil Peart could do by himself.

    So in summary, sign up for the Relix email updates. They put out a lot of awesome free stuff.

    Just to follow up....sorry Mr Ones et el.....(though Sammy Smith’s is definetly the sheete).
    Kid, thanks for the Fridge Link, beeerrryyy interesting! That Oberon seems to show up a lot, have to hunt that down. Lagunitas; have had the IPA, liked it.
    GLBC; ? Sounds familiar, but not sure if I’ve had, perhaps when visiting back on NY States West Coast 😉, where I have had some 12 Gates, really loved their Coffee Porter, enjoyed a bunch of that and Southern Teir IPA when I was home for 2 months moving pops into assisted living etc..
    GENESSEE; speaking of the Tundra, my cousin was at the Genesse Brewpub in Rochester last year and said they had some mighty fine beers. This is funny because back in the day Genesse was THE locals cheap swill of choice that we wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole, now it’s micro beer, too funny!
    YINGLING; America’s oldest brewery. Seems like it’s swill now? Back in the day we used to enjoy a pitcher of Porter down on Elmwood, but seems like it went downhill like many do when they get “popular”, kinda like..
    SEIRRA NEVADA; is it just me or have their beers seemed to change since they became so big? I still like many of their fine products; Bigfoot BaerleyWine, Narwhal, Celebration, Torpedo, Stout, Porter etc, but something seems different?
    HAZE, Crazed and dazed (see, I snuck in a music reference), got turned on to Oscar Blues Can O Bliss series, especially the Hazy IPA last year. Love their Dales (as Carlo mentioned), Old Chub Scoth Ale, Ten Fiddy, but the white whale that haunts me is the Velvet Elvis! Very limited in house offering that I unfortunately have never caught, Doooo!
    ANCHOR; the Steamers are actually just one of their many flavors, probably their most well known, but so many other better to choose from if you can still find em; the Dry Hopped Steamers, Liberty Ales, (my favorite middle of summer beer), Go West IPA, Brewers IPA, Hummer, Bock, and of course the mighty Porter....was my all time favorite until we discovered the annual Christmas Beer. The Fog Breaker and the Coffee Porter look good, but chances of getting em here are slim to none. Our distributer is a douche and won’t get even if I pay up front for largish orders! Dick!
    Going to the promised land for a wedding up in Sonoma next summer so hopefully we’ll finally make it to the Brewery in San Fran. Previous trips haven’t allowed so hoping to fulfill a 30 something year wish. Hope to visit Terrapin and Sweatwater too!
    Yes, I do like beer...

    Had the time of my life at the 85 show I was at, a couple of days before Halloween and it was a huge party. Speaking of beer, there was so much beer being spilled at that show, it was actually flowing down the steps like a waterfall. Jerry was in fine form and quite wasted, and he delivered a breathtaking "Comes a Time" that nite. Hard to believe it was 35 years ago.
    I did not listen but I heard thru the grapevine that Dead and Co. picked up the pace some at playing in the sand. Now that was what we all wanted, too bad it took them 5 years to do it.

Ok purchased the last ten days or so...

Fleetwood Mac_Before the Beginning...live '68 & '70 shows spread over three discs
The Kinks_Arthur Box Set
Jimi_The Complete Band Of Gypsy's at The Fillmore East
Rolling Stones_Bridges to Buenos Aires
Various Artists_100 Blues Classics
Wes Montgomery_The Riverside years

plus a couple of new (to me) Charlie Miller boards from '74...can you tell it was just my birthday? and I have a few things still on the way....life is good....

You can make listening your new career once you have retired. Definite advantage to clocking on a bit.

I didn't know that the Complete Band of Gypsies had been released...maybe an appropriate one for Christmas.

Best non Dead listen for me has been The Final Bow box by The Pretty Things. A two cd, two dvd ( same music on cd as dvd) and 10" vinyl - signed copy if you are in the first 500. This was purportedly their final gig last December, and your humble correspondent was right in there. A tremendous gig and recording from one of Britain's best and most underrated r n b and psych bands of the 60s. Van Morrison and Dave Gilmour join the band-Dave Gilmour playing on no less than 6 tracks-including a roof raising 13+ minute version of Pretties classics LSD/Old Man Going. No home should be without one.

The actual name for the Hendrix box is "Songs For Groovy Children_The Fillmore East Concerts" Where they got that title I have no idea unless it's something Jimi says during one of the shows...I've had these shows on ok sounding board boots forever but it's nice to hear them this clean...

From 1973, check out 11/23/73 El Paso Coliseum. Only time they ever played in El Paso. The show wasn't circulated back in tape trading days, Dead Base VI only has that they played Weather Report Suite.... 3 versions on internet archive. Good quality... Good cool fall day show to listen. Good weekend everyone... bob t

I'm feeling pretty grooovy this Saturday afternoon, and I hope you all are as well! (Anyone remember Gingerale Afternoon ((The Astrology of a Saturday)))? Anyways...

Thank Bob T for the 11/23/73 recommendation! I've never heard this one, and I plan on making it my "cooking a beef stew for an awesome night at home" show! For anyone interested, here is a link for one of the versions on LMA (though I don't know if it's the best... apologies.)

https://archive.org/details/gd73-11-23.sbd.orf.194.sbeok.shnf

That 2nd set looks super tasty! He's Gone>Truckin'> TOO>Space(9:46! might just be a sick jam!)> Bobby McGee, Eyes! That run alone makes me salivate, and the rest of the setlist, on paper (or screen) looks just as great. Casey Jones 2nd set closer?

Also, I've been knocked out, once again, by the Arrowhead show from the Summer of 78 box set. What a great, high energy performance! IMO, and many of you all here, it's the best of the box. Worth the price, twice over.

My lovely wife is staring at me because I should have been out of the door 15 minutes ago... she wins again :)

Peace

Thanks, it is the next show after the Denver shows. Wait until you listen to the Eyes of the World. It is stand alone because someone breaks a string. You can hear the China Doll that never happened!! It sounds like the end of the Eyes of the World from 8/6/74 Roosevelt Stadium without Bob yelling at the fence climbers.. November and December 1973 are just so mellow.. Bob t
PS the one song that they sort of forgot to play was Mississippi Half Step based on their location!!!

Nappyrags...I've only got the official releases concerning the Band Of Gypsies, so this is a no brainer for me. When I have bootlegs, or semi official Hendrix releases, I am always in two minds as to whether I want the newer version. Case in point being the Winterland October 1968 shows. I got a 6cd set of the complete run, in variable sound, on the Reclamation label, so have never got round to buying the official 3cd release. I have often wondered how much better the official version sounds compared to the one I've got.

Incidentally, one of the few advantages of record shops being replaced by online ordering is that at least we no longer have to suffer the humiliation of going into an actual shop, to ask an actual person if they have something with a title like "Songs For Groovy Children"!

An almost 43 minute "He's Gone>Truckin'>The Other One".
Hint: A trio of classic Grateful Dead songs from 1972, 1970, and 1967, assembled into a perfect jam sequence

Anybody figure these out (Keithfan?) Don't spoil it for the rest of us, just a simple nod will do ;-)

(WOW! Just got a pass from Captcha – no whack-a-mole-ing of traffic lights!)

I wish I could deal with things as efficiently as that.

Revisited DP 1 12/19/73 yesterday, some good stuff on there. That was probably the first non-album Here Comes Sunshine that I ever heard, and just the whole live '73 sound was sort of a revelation. The shows I attended were mid-80's and the tapes I had were mostly early '80s shows of varying completeness and sound quality, so DP 1 was really something different for me when it first came out. Listening to it now made me wonder what the rest of the show was like, and wondering if DaP 32 would have been released as a partial show like some of the other early DPs if it had been released at that time. Personally I'd rather get complete shows, even if they are a little uneven, rather than a version of a show edited to leave the perceived highlights. Sometimes the lowlights have something cool to add to the show, and sometimes not everyone agrees on which parts are the highlight. Just my rambling thoughts on a Sunday morning.

I hope you like it, Dennis. I have to be honest, I like it more with each passing day. The dvd is fantastic...the live cds have gaps between the songs like on Dead down loads, gawd knows why. If you got a limited edition, maybe you will get a signed copy. Its a bit late to say now, but I got mine from Burning Shed-a bit cheaper last week than Amazon.
I have seen The Pretty Things in various small venues over the last 10 years or so, and the singer and guitarist Phil May and Dick Taylor always hang around afterwards signing whatever you like and having a laugh and a chat. Really nice people.

That's it for me with box sets for this year. Although I do keep casting my beady eye in the direction of this 6cd Complete Mighty Baby set that has just come out.

Bob, I got through most of the show last night working on dinner (more slowly than I needed to...) and then the rest of the show (Bobby McGee thru the end) this morning. Agreed, that is a great Eyes! Also agreed, Fall/Winter 73 is such a mellow, wonderfully jazzy, exploratory period for the band - it's my personal favorite kind of 73 (sorry Spring!) I recently went through the Winterland box, and I've been rocking the Denver Road Trips in the car since Thursday (that disc 2 is something else!), so your suggestion was quite timely and appreciated :)

On another note, I was just up in the shower, thinking about Fall/Winter of 73, and then I start thinking about releases from this period... other than the Winterland Box and the Denver Road Trips, the only other one I could come up with was Dick's volume 1 (I'm sure I'm missing some, but...) Anyway, I log on here again, and there is a post by Charlie3 about Dick's 1 and the compilation style format of the early releases! I love the serendipity of this site! Or, it might be that we are actually just some sort of hive-mind.

So, here's the question I was thinking about: If any one of the Dick's that was chopped up to the highlights were to be re-released as the whole show, maybe something like The Complete Dicks series (couldn't help myself :), which would it be? I think volume 1 is a strong contender, or perhaps volume 12, that 74 monster....

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday. No Ravens today, so I'm not sure what to do with my time...

Peace

I support white rhino research by donating money I would otherwise spend on cigars. The white rhinos are also extinct except for 2 non-fertile females, but the scientists have viable female eggs that have been fertilized by another type of rhinos in hope of bringing back the white rhinos. Please help these poor rhinos. They are really great animals. Peace

We get that a lot. No problem V.

You are a kind soul and a great presence here.

..but try and cut VGuy some slack. You have to understand.. before Mrs. VGuy, there was Gisele.. and Tom Brady ripped her away from Vegas and our beloved Senator for peace and legal weed. I bet once those restraining orders expire (Tom can be so harsh) or she comes to her senses and files for divorce.. everything will get back to normal.

So close...but...

Tom Brady and the Patriots are truly charmed. 90% of people on earth live real lives. 99% of sports teams live the reality of a kick in the balls from time to time. Not Tom and his buds.

Charmed. The only word to describe it.

Except that time they had their perfect season crunched. THAT was cool (for a non-Patriots fan).

But really. Charmed. Unbelievably charmed.

move away from sports, self. move away...

Don't forget Dick's 14 from 11/30 and 12/2. Not full shows but really good shows and the sound quality for this release from 20 years ago is awesome. Kind of surprised me when I went back to have a listen to this one last week.
Also spent some time with the Dave's 25 yesterday from November 77, man I love this show, so great and the banter back and fourth is classic. I still think this one is better than the Colgate show, energy just seems different. Can't wait for DeKalb!
I still don't have Dick's 34, the Rochester show from the same tour.
I would be interested to know how this one stacks up against The Colgate and Binghamton shows. I think the PA reel on DP 34 gave me second thoughts.
Peace!

That Playing in the Band>Jam>Mind Left Body from 12/2 is one for the ages.

The only release that both starts and ends with a Morning Dew.., one big MDew sandwich I suppose. I liked the second one better. Funny.. my memory is that this sounded a little muddy and they got crisper as Jeffrey Norman added to his bag of tricks, but my memory is a funny thing. I don't lean on it very often for good reason.

Hey.. DVikes, check your pm.

Also, this just in.. free livestream for JRad tonight. I you haven't checked them out before, try and fit it in. They have a hard-driving, high-energy approach to Grateful Dead music. They can catch fire when planets align just right.
