    Goats Head-Rock n' Roll

    The two albums where Mick Taylor really shines for me, are the Keith lite Goats Head Soup and It's Only Rock n' Roll. Superb soloing by Mick T. on Time Waits For No One.

    I like Ron Wood, but he seemed to adopt a kind of court jester role with The Stones which I found a bit tiresome. I do like these archival Stones live releases though - the Taylor years are still the gold standard, but the last two I got-from The Steel Wheels tour 1989 and 1998 in Beunos Aires rock like the proverbial b......Specially the 1998 one.

    Maybe the universe will get tired of me…..

    50 years ago today………….

    April 25, 1971
    Fillmore East, New York City, New York

    Set 1: Truckin'-Loser-Hard To Handle-Me And Bobby McGee-Cold Rain And Snow-The Rub-Playing In The Band-Friend Of The Devil-China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider-Casey Jones

    Set 2: Morning Dew-Beat It On Down The Line-Next Time You See Me-Bertha-Sugar Magnolia-Second That Emotion-Good Lovin'-Sing Me Back Home-“Spanish jam tuning”-Not Fade Away>Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad>Not Fade Away

    It’s long way from Durham to the Fillmore East. About 480 miles, give or take a little………

    Pinballing through New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Maine, North Carolina, and finally back once again to New York, you’d think the Dead would be tired by now…………

    On this evening of wonders, they sure don’t sound tired. As so often happened, it appears the Dead upped their game being back in the big apple. They start high, and then soar. The ultra crunchy Hard To Handle. The hyperkinetic Rub. The once-in-71 Friend Of The Devil. The fine China/Rider. The powerful Dew to open the second set. The greasy Good Lovin’. The typically fine NFA suite to close it all out. Maybe not so famous as other shows in this run, but oh so worthy!!

    This is classic Dead!!!

    Rock on!!!

    Rollin' Stones proper

    Just wanted to chime in about my appreciation
    for the Mick Taylor era. As Daverock points out the real
    secret to the Stones true sound was the Jagger/Richard/Watts
    lock-down (Charlie comes in a nano-beat behind Keith).
    That said Mick Taylor played the sweetest leads for their
    material - by far. He was more instrumental in a few
    key songs than most people realize - Moonlight Mile - Keith
    passed out on the studio floor and Jagger, ever the economist
    demanded the sessions proceed and Taylor composed and played
    all guitars, Likewise with Goats Head Soup where he plays bass
    on several of the tracks as well as co-credited for Winter.
    Live by ’73 he was very frustrated with Keith’s erratic
    playing. One night MT was just expected to be the gun slinging
    guitarist while others he had to carry the show cause KR was
    checked out. The final straw came on It’s Only Rock and Roll
    when he and Jagger co-wrote “If You Really Want To Be My
    Friend”, yet when the album came out it was credited to the
    Glimmer Twins. Adios Stones …
    I always loved Ron Wood with the Faces, yet it seemed
    he really dumbed down his act when he joined the Stones.
    His best work was on Some Girls - otherwise he was all mod-rocker
    hairstyle and shades and no substance (probably just what Mick
    & Keith wanted).

    The Stones are the one band I know as well as the Grateful Dead. Right you are about Beggars and Bleed Daverock. Taylor was not involved much. He started with the Honky Tonk Women single, which for some odd reason they used as a single and went with Country Honk for the Let It Bleed album (certainly my least favorite on the record). Played on Live with Me from that record too.. Taylor contributed substantially to Sticky Fingers through Only Rock and Roll. He One of the reasons he quit was because he was not getting the writing credits he deserved. I was surprised by your comment crow told me, but I guess if you're not a Stone Head you may not know how involved he was in the writing and recording sessions. I am surprised too hear you found his live playing a distraction. His soloing was so smooth. Prime example is Dead Flowers at the Marquee '71 -OMG unbelievable how many notes he played "in time" on such a fast little diddy, and exits right when he needs to for the next verse after improvising a solo that had a proper beginning middle and end. As far as "weaving" the China cat example is cool yes, but not mahatma Keith is talking about. He means chord weaving, where, he'll play one thing and the other guy will fill in something in between (also chord playing) but the key is that they compliment each other's playing. I would emphasize that I do not mean they playing the same thing in a different octave (this is a different technique altogether that is used to fill out guitar sound). Check out Stray Cat Blues live at the Roundhouse 1971. Mick Taylor was so good he alternate modes within a song, he could play a different solo every time, or in some cases (Midnight Rambler) Keith would start a lick and Mick would finish it for several bars. To each his own is my philosophy I just couldn't figure out where the Taylor criticism made sense. I will say this, that one live song I am too keen on his playing is the Brussels Brown Sugar where he picks up the slide and does sound like he's overplaying. But that was the only time I've heard him play slide on Brown Sugar or sound distracting. Overall he was easily the best guitarist the Stones ever had. Brian Jones was easily the best multi-instrumentalist they had, but he added his touches to music that was already written. Taylor actually composed music in the writing phase (and to his credit he played bass on some tracks that Bill Wyman was not in the studio to play on like Tumbling Dice and Happy).

    Yes, China Cat/Rider features wonderful complimentary guitar playing.

    I agree with what you say about The Stones to some extent. I think Mick Taylor happened to be in the band when they made some of their greatest recordings, without necessarily contributing to them being great. Both Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed were based around Keith Richards playing, with embellishments on some songs by Brian Jones or Mick Taylor. But Keith is the only guitarist, I think, on many tracks on those two albums.

    In many ways, with The Stones, the rhythm is both that, and the lead. The riffs of so many of their songs define the songs -the solos are just the icing on the cake. It doesn't matter to me too much what the soloist is doing on tracks like Jumpin' Jack Flash - its the groove that counts.

    Live, the pulse is what I like most, and that is provided primarily by Keith and Charlie Watts. And again, the soloing is the secondary to the groove.

    Weir the Weaver

    You want to hear "the art of weaving," as Keith Richards sometimes call the two-guitar thing he supposedly loves? Listen to what Garcia and Weir do on pretty much any recording of China Cat. Or pretty much any recording, period. Because Weir is truly the master of being the Other One, playing jazzy chords and single note runs that complement Garcia's genius. And he can do it on the fly, spontaneously responding to whatever musical thoughts cross Jerry's mind.

    If I say that Weir is the most under-rated guitarist in rock, I doubt if anyone here will argue with me. What he does isn't "rhythm guitar." It's more like what a great jazz pianist does.

    The Stones? I mean, I love the Stones, but at least 90% of the time all that's going on with the guitarists is that one guy is playing lead and the other (almost always Keep) is playing "rhythm": ie, playing the same chords or riff over and over while the singer sings or the other guy solos. This was particularly true during the Mick Taylor years: people talk about how great he was for the band, but when I hear live recordings from that era, half the time Taylor's noodling without regard for anything anybody else is doing, and it's just a distraction. The Stones were much more interesting live with Brian Jones OR Ron Wood.

    Keith's a GREAT songwriter, a great RHYTHM guitar player, AND one of the all time GREAT bullshitters.

Yup, the future Mrs. Big and I were at this baby! That second set was one for the ages... one big non-stopper. At the end of Saint we looked at each other and knew we would be in it for the long haul. By the time Brokedown ended, the whole place was in groupmind tears. Some things you never forget.

Been on a Dylan binge when not listening to the GD the last few weeks. I have to ask.. mainly because my heart has shifted.. what is your favorite Dylan studio album? and perhaps why (optional).

Sometimes the marbles within the grey matter shift ever so slightly and from that moment forward you think just a little bit differently.

I have been investigating...some lesser known bands of the shock variety

Like looking at pictures of car accidents or something

And

Of all things, i dug out an Enya cd.

The marbles in my grey matter have shifted, and are still settling

Nice to hear about your future heirs to the majestry and trickery Bolo!

Got over a foot of snow so far, on rain/snow line for next couple of hours so I raked the roof and snowblowed the plow debris before it gets heavy. Looking forward to my cassette upgrade of DaP37, latest to get is in two days. Got my two doses of covid vaccine. If you're eligible, I encourage everyone to get their vaccine. The second dose side effects is nothing in comparison to the day after going electric at a dead show. I had a minor frontal lobotomy headache for an hour, some chills, elevated temp, but was able to shred the trails a couple of hours after the family went out. Stay safe and those in the crazy zones please double up on the masking.

Recent non-Dead listens:
Bob Marley
Warren Zevon - talking about the man
Modest Mouse
King Crimson
Joni Mitchell
Radiohead

I miss seeing live music.

Two great shows the Dead played on Groundhogs Day. Love to get get the 1968 show released along with the rest of the shows the Dead played on the Great Tour of the Pacific Northwest as a box set. I'm hopeful it may happen. Check them out on the Archive.

Curiously the last 2 cds I played last night were by Bob Dylan. Not studio, though - the first two cds from the 1966 Live Recordings box set-Sydney 4/13/66. A great show, and an impressive box set-although the same set list, for the most part, is played at 23 consecutive concerts.

I keep playing King Crimson a lot these days, too, since seeing them for the first time about three years ago. Their box sets are really something else. I listen to a lot of discs from one called "Heaven and Earth"-consisting of live and studio recordings from about 1998-2006. I don't think I have any other box ( maybe Europe 72 and 30 Trips ) that has so much music in it-including whole discs of totally improvised music. Mind boggling!

Mine left Atlanta yesterday and has departed Heathrow, London today. So, unless it takes a magical mystery tour, it should still be in the UK. #36 took about 8 days to make the trip to my mail box once it reached Heathrow so I’m still being patient.

Mostly been listening to old stuff recently, Tapestry by Carole King, 50 years and still fantastic, The Big Huge by the Incredible String Band, even older and probably high in my top ten albums although my list of top ten albums probably runs into the dozens!
Free Jazz by Ornette Coleman, older still and sounding so modern.

Keep well everyone and hope for better days.

I suspect this year's box set will be outtakes of "What's Become of the Baby" with a bonus disc of the "Barbed Wire Whipping Party."

I mean, all the clues fit, no?

This one has a little of everything - but in the Seaside Chat I think Dave got it wrong. He said he thought "Passenger" almost derailed before getting the shit back on track and that the "Brown-Eyed Women was "interesting" and a "little different". Id say the Brown-Eyed Women was pretty much a sloppy train-wreck and the rebound to get it back on track was the absolutely SUBLIME Let it Grow and great Deal. The show as a whole sort of feels like that - some really great high energy 78 stuff and moments of kinda sloppy barely held-together mess (The Saturday Night encore is weird to my ear). That said the bonus stuff seemed way more consistent and makes the whole release a win - I dont think Id be that stoked on just the 4/15 show alone. Id be good if we stepped away from 78/79 for a while myself

Love love love me some Dylan. Sure, everyone knows Highway 61 and Blood on the Tracks and Blonde on Blonde and Desire.

A few of my hidden gems through the years:

Street Legal - Changing of the Guards and Senor are great but the whole album has a great vibe.

Planet Waves - So many great tunes. Tough Mama, On a Night Like This, Hazel, of course Forever Young

Pat Garret and Billy the Kid - So chill. Great summertime back porch listening.

I've really enjoyed the Bootleg Series they've been putting out too, and particularly the big box from the "religious years" called Trouble No More which has some fantastic stuff you'll never find anywhere else: Covenant Woman, Caribbean Wind, Pressing On, Watered Down Love, precious Angel, etc, etc, etc,

and finally

Bootleg Series Volume 10, a two discer with tons of stripped down versions of some great sutff that you dont hear much from the '69-'71 timeframe.

I didn't receive a shipping notice, but DaP #37 showed up in the mail on the 1st. After listening to the whole release, I think the 4/15 show is OK, but I really believe the 4/18 filler material is the best part of this release!

Slow Dog Noodle reminded me of the soundtrack of the movie Pat Garret and Billie the Kid. That movie really struck a chord with my high schools friends and became a cult favorite for us. Knockin' on Heaven's Door always reminds me of Dylan's cameo in the film where he is one of the bystanding cowboys in a tense scene where to keep him busy they have him read the labels on the canned goods on the wall. "Beans." his character Alias says. And keeps reading aloud until the gunfire starts. I think Alias gets a few more lines somewhere in there. Dylan was paid $200K for the role which back then was quite a bit for a bit part, but I'd guess he did better on the soundtrack album. Some reviews have it as his worst album but they didn't even like Knockin' so screw 'em if they can't take a joke.
Why hasn't this sold out? Even average '78 is OK by me. Cheers!

Watched Rolling Thunder Review a few nights ago, wow!
Pretty cool; interviews, behind the scenes, interesting “characters”, cool historic perspective, and the music is awesome.
It’s not a concert video, but has several songs played, many off of Desire, including Scarlet Rivera sp? On Violin....chick is kinda out there (she even has a BFA sticker on her fiddle!)...some of the coolest Dylan I’ve seen. Kinda funny hoe there’s like five guitars sometimes??
If you dig Dylan and haven’t checked this out, or even if your not a big Dylan fan, you’ll probably enjoy this. Just the access and historical perspective and the characters alone are interesting enough...

GIMME SOME TRUTH; just picked this mini box up. Crazy how relevant to the times many of these songs still are. Surprisingly I’ve only had Imagine out of all the ex Beatle solo albums. Got this one which is sorta a best of, Yoko picked historical perspective; songs that meant a lot to John or reflect where he was at the time etc...
Also picked up Plastic Ono Band, Ringo’s “Ringo” and Photograph, Paul’s Ram and Flowers In The Dirt. Post Waters Floyd albums and David Gilmore’s first solo album since I dig On an Island so much.
Still need Band on the run and Gearge stuff. Have Paul’s first on vinyl. From what I’ve read, I think the Gearge stuff is going to get “the treatment” soon so I’m gonna wait and see.
So been digging lots of new to me cool stuff along with trying to explore more 90s dead and get as many pick of the days in as I can too!

Edit: oh yeah, and can’t forget 37, aka BFF Phil Show ; )
Think mines at the PO, guess I’ll have to go out into town and pick er up!
It sucks Covid wise that we have to go to the window to receive it. Used to put a key in your box to pick up after hours.

For those who have their copy, have you noticed its the same picture from #15, I would have thought they would take the chance to expose other cool pics in this glorious format, oh well still awesome!

Friday night I was fumbling thru youtube to see if there was anything new. Did find a new Dinner and A Movie by Phish. From 2003, will watch tomorrow night.

Ran across for the first time GD 12-31-81. It was a good video of a sweet new year's. I watched the first set by itself, i.e. no second or thrid set attached, and it sounded very good. Then went back and watched the whole show, minus the first set, and it was still good. Sound not quite as good, and some technical issues related to the transfer. That is, video and audio did not match up some of the time.

I really enjoyed it. Was nice to set a set I had never seen before and only heard parts of on an old hissy fit cassette.

Then Sunday I watched the Phish Dinner and a Movie. It was very good also. It was from 2003 Charlotte, NC. I was watching and about the second song, I noticed this seems familiar. Then I had the moment, you know, when I realized I attended this show. So I really enjoyed it as I had not heard much less seen it since July of 2003. NIce little ride into memories past.

Still no updates on #37 yet. It has shipped but still not updating. The one thing I do like about UPS mail innoations is that I believe there is less risk of theft in the system (or carelessness) that may be a problem with USPS.

Hope all are enjoying Groundhog Day, not sure if Phil saw his shadow. May have to watch the movies as it is on all day.

Love the February shows talk...good stuff.

Edit: HEY NOW Bolo and Vguy: Congrats Bolo! Awesome! And Vguy, WOW!

I never received an email that Dave's Picks 37 had shipped, but now the post office is claiming that they delivered it last Friday. Unfortunately, it never came. And thanks to COVID, I'm home all day and check regularly for packages, etc. Maybe they delivered it to the wrong address? My question is, is that something that Dead.net will replace or do I have to re-purchase? I know it will sell out soon. I've purchased every Dead release since One From The Vault. Every Dick's Picks, Dave's Picks, Road Trips, Box Sets, etc. And Williamsburg '78 is a favorite show! I'd hate not to have it in the collection.

Anyone know how this works if the PO says it was delivered, but it wasn't?

Thanks in advance.

I have my tracking info but it leads no where. DaP 32 and 36 were both shipped to the wrong address, despite the invoices having the correct address. I'm a little concerned that DaP 37 is headed in the same direction. I get that we all love the physical object, but downloads are so much easier. The music is great, but Dead.net has never been good with shipping or customer service. It is insanity to think that after all these years they (yes, YOU!) would put it together or even respond to the overwhelming volume of feedback. Why is this so difficult?

Sound quality is very nice.
Half-Step is rockin’, reminiscent of 11-6-77.
A hiccup in Passenger. Or was it just a brief pause to extinguish the flames on their hands?
On FOTD now, seems standard (but it’s not done).

I reserve the right to modify my impressions after future subsequent listens......

I’ll listen to the main course first, followed by filler for dessert.

Downloads:
Careful what you wish for.
Amazingly, (not really) Rhino consistently screws those up.
Check out commentary on other boards that cover releases that included a download option. Defective files, missing tracks, wrong bitrate, links that don’t work, etc, etc.
Or just ask Dennis, he has first-hand experience.

Hal,
That sucks, but is somewhat par for the course.
I think that I had something like that happen before, and it showed up a day or two (or 3 or 4) later.
You could order another copy if it isn’t sold out yet and hope that you actually receive it. Eventually you might have 2 copies and can sell or gift one of them.

Sounded like a pause to regroup.
But I didn’t rewind to confirm. Will wait for the next listen to reevaluate.

I was in another room for Let It Grow and it was only background music.

Which is why I will get multiple listens this week.

Must fully absorb.

Now I’m back on FOTD and it sounds better too.

Besides now being in front of the speakers, I turned up the volume too.

LOL... Got mine today, so after dinner told my wife I will be in my Music Room listening to my new DaP. She actually "had to" ask me a question smack in the middle of Let it Grow... the audacity!! LOL :-) So now I am restarting and thoroughly digging it... uninterrupted :-) This disc is really clean! Great quality... just love it! Thanks Dave... oh, and Dave, I got myself and my dog the Workingman's Dead outer jackets... I love mine more than she does, but looks good to see you wearing in in this episode of Seaside Chats :-) iGrateful

Yeah, the post office insists it was delivered last Friday at 3:08PM. But they must have delivered it to the wrong address. :( Guess I'll just pay for another one. That one is lost, it seems.

Does your mail usually come between 2-4 pm?
If it usually comes in the morning then you have a pretty argument.
Also, do you have confirmation that UPS actually handed it off to USPS? If UPS still has it then USPS is lying

Yeah, spoke with UPS. They handed it over to USPS and then USPS claims they delivered it on Friday at 3:08pm. I'm gonna go ahead and order another since I haven't heard back from customer service at Dead.net yet. I don't want it to sell out and then I miss out entirely. :(

Sound quality on this release is real and spectacular.

I don’t recall having this show on cassette and don’t know if I’ve heard it before in the digital realm.
Looking forward to multiple listens in the near future to get the Fully Normanized Betty Experience.

I’m not even to the filler yet......

And yes, kind robot, I am not a robot.
