Grateful Dead

....My second Dave's 38 glass arrived today packed in bubble wrap intact!!
Thanks tptb for listening.
Plus, rumor has it that Vegas is starting Cody Glass toknight at center.
Bodes well, if I believed in coincidences.

:)))

Thanks Brownie for the Bear Update, will have to get that one. Saw the Man in Black a couple of times. Can't wait to hear that.

JSJay: Yep that is from the Hollywood Festival. Will have to look that up as I have not Seen it.

SimonRob - thanks for the update and the additional information. Knew we could count on you to shed additional light on the subject. Newcastle upon Tyne and Newcastle-Under-Lyme. They sound like two sisters from an old country song, down where I am located in Hicksville (j/k). Or maybe the name of one woman, depends how you See it. Kind of like "Yor Cheatin Heart." "I thought she was a Newcastle upon Tyne but turned to be a Newcastle-Under-Lyme." Of course Lyme or lime is what killers/murders use to dispose of their victim. "Don't Murder Me."

That old Tony BollWeevil mad a heck of a Shot.

Personally, I'm stoked to get the remastered S&R with the extra '71 material. Perhaps its appearance in our mailboxes will release Dave to announce the box. (Six shows from fall '72 or give me vintage Grease, please. Translation: spring '69.)

Then there's a Jer show coming out that I attended with friends in Nov. '91 at MSG.
Tedeschi-Trucks Band issue a live version of their take on Layla, 19 July.
'Course we don't yet know DP 39, which should drop at the end of July.
Remastered All Things Must Pass arrives in August.
Plus, I've got some old Dylan albums on order, which arrive any time.

Clearly, this leaves little time for working and crap like that....

I named my dog hosehead

Looks like the new release will be Johnny Cash at the Carousel Ballroom 04/24/1968.

Skull 'n Roses is on the way!

England 1970....

Go to youtube.
Type this in the search box: Grateful Dead, China-Rider jam, England 1970

You'll find a ripping video clip, albeit brief, of The Dead performing live, outdoors in England.

There's also a Garcia interview, during the E72 tour, where Garcia discusses playing in England, in 1970....

This China jam from 1970 is a smoker. Check out Garcia's boots!! You will plainly see that is Garcia and the boys in 1970. Not 72... (plus Mickey is there)

Here's the full setlist

Thanks Simon for succint clarification, said better, and with more knowledge, than I could. ( Im still chuckling to myself about badkamer!)

First, lets clear up a couple of points of confusion:

In England, there are two Newcastles, namely Newcastle upon Tyne and Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Newcastle upon Tyne is on the north east coast of England. The Grateful Dead played there on April 11, 1972 - the third show of their Europe '72 tour.
Newcastle-under-Lyme is in the English midlands, approximately mid way between Birmingham and Manchester. Leycett is a small place a few miles west of Newcastle-under-Lyme and is where the Hollywood Festival was held on May 23 & 24, 1970 The Grateful Dead played on May 24.

Regarding the alleged show at the Lyceum in London on May 25, 1970, a lot of the confusion over this show is almost certainly down to the fact that the Grateful Dead performed at the Lyceum on May 23, 24, 25 & 26, 1972 NOT 1970.

That cleared up, we can move on to the show on May 25, 1970. This show may have been tentatively planned but all the evidence suggests that it never took place. There is a website called concertarchives which lists shows at various venues including the esteemed Lyceum. There is no show listed at that venue on May 25, 1970 but the New Riders of the Purple Sage and the Grateful Dead are listed as playing there for 4 shows on May 23, 24, 25 & 26, 1972 which we all know and love as this was part of the Europe '72 tour. Furthermore, here on dead.net, under the show archive is a page dedicated to The Strand Lyceum, May 25, 1970 where doubt is expressed as to whether this show actually happened. 3 of 4 posters are pretty sure it didn't happen and the fourth confuses the date with May 25, 1972. D'oh. I am sure there are plenty of other sites that reference this show but I have seen nothing to suggest that it really did take place.

Hendrixfreak - yes, so you are saying that Robert Hunter wrote the lyrics with the foreknowledge that Jerry would be singing them-and this informed what he wrote? It does sound likely. Maybe the overall effect of listening to the songs is to witness the symbiosis-if that's the right word - of two great artists working in unison.

Thin - I have always sensed a similarity in approach between Robert Hunter and Dylan. I don't actually have that many Robert Hunter solo albums-Rumrunners is one I do have though, and that fits the bill. It has It Must Have Been The Roses on, of course-very different from the version on Garcia's solo album - Hunters version has a much rougher sound, as I remember it.

Regarding Robert Hunter live-I believe he came to England and played some solo shows-maybe around 1981.I think he may have played at Glastonbury-or maybe some London dates. Unfortunately I didn't find out about it until he had gone back, whatever happened.
