    live show and live recording

    To me there is very little that connects seeing the band live to sitting at home listening to a live recording. To recap I saw them 5 times in 1981 and 1990. Loved all 5 shows, and they didn't play any songs that I didn't like. Some songs, that I hadn't been so keen on -Row Jimmy comes to mind - made much more sense in real time than it did on live recordings, or on Wake of the Flood. Drums and Space in 1990 blew my head off. It doesn't do that now, unfortunately. More interesting than mind blowing
    On 10/30/90 I thought it was great when they broke into "Lovelight" - an actual song off "Live Dead". Sadly, I don't have this response now - in fact I have no interest whatsoever in hearing a Bob sung Lovelight now. Or a show from 1990, for that matter. But that doesn't mean for a second that it wasn't great at the time, being there.

    Like everyone on here, I guess, there are some songs I have heard way to often, simply because they are played at shows which are brilliant overall. To skip them feels a bit like skipping a dull chapter in a novel - you want to, but it makes you feel a bit guilty if you do.

    Is it true

    Can one train a dog to poop on the floor (or sofa) each morning at exactly 3am?

    I thought it was just me that got borderline PTSD when a show ended with Throwing Stones>NFA encore: US Blues. Miracle and Mexicali are on my list with many of the late era new songs mentioned.

    Fortunately, there are so many great songs they either wrote or covered that really made it difficult to have a bad time at a Dead show. There was almost always something special. So time your bathroom breaks with skip tunes, stay away from the brown acid and let the good times roll.

    Before shows some of the folks I would travel with would voice out what they thought we were going to hear mixed with dream setlists and the occasional song that they best not play that night or else (in the spirit of that Sideways quote, "I am NOT drinking any f***king Merlot"). We are a spirited bunch aren't we?

    Skippable songs

    Lovelight. Not my favorite, but I’ll take it over the typical throwing stones>not fade to end the show if for nothing more than a change of pace. I never really got into the 30 minute versions either.

    I can tolerate LLR. I’ll admit I have a soft spot because my inaugural show ended the first set with that right into a China>Rider. It grew on me over the years and I much prefer the latter day, more amped up versions. The early iterations sound like something Engelbert Humperdinck should be singing.

    Definitely skippable are most, OK all, of Vince. Corrina, Victim, Easy Answers, Eternity. . . You see the pattern here.

    I actually liked a lot of Brent songs when I saw them live. Unfortunately, I don’t think they’ve aged well. In fairness I probably haven’t either.

    Passenger and Miracle are two older songs I never enjoyed.

    As others have said, 12/30/1986 was an awesome show. Easily in the top five of all the shows I ever saw. Yes, they did have speakers outside for those who were not fortunate enough to get tickets. I thought it was a West Coast thing, but evidently not.

    My bad. I forgot to let them out before I went to bed.
    Rain is welcome in Cali, but what the southwest REALLY needs is snowpack on the western slopes of the Colorado rockies. For several winters in a row.

    That and Charlie's description of responsible cat ownership cracked me up.

    Thanks for that.

    I, too, reserve the right to Slide Filter whenever necessary.

    I generally do not have problem with the cat, and living in a 120 year old rodent-free Victorian, I have a few things to be thankful for. I keep the litter fresh and clean and they keep the mice (and river rats) away.

    I'm really in the mood for 1/2/1970. What a great and often overlooked release.

    So weekend was Friday watching 12/30/86. Saturday was listening to MaryE's first show which I enjoyed immensely, and then later in the evening I watched 12/31/85 which was a national tv broadcast that started at midnight Oakland time and 2am here locally when it was on. I still really enjoy that video, wish they would release that whole show video, "I'd buy that for a dollar." Then Sunday the 1st, I watched "Ticket to New Years," which I also attended that 4 day run. Then Monday, I watched most of "The Closing of Winterland." So lots of Dead watching, and I enjoyed all of it. I also went thru a couple of shows from the MSG box, nice!

    BTK & Others

    Happy New Year again!!!

    BTK yall be safe now ya hear. This storm is a beast. I know rain is needed but not that much that quick. All in California and the desert areas prepare. It cost so little to have a manual can opener and $20 of canned goods to make it a few days.

    Any way, have to go back and read last couple of days to catch up, but here are some quick answers.

    DeadVikes thanks for the warm return. It is appreciated greatly. Unfortunately, my own health which is pretty good, is clashing with folks health which is not so good. Won't get into details, but I refer to them as my progenitors, as the love has always been cold as ice. Yet now I have to eat up my own time watching after them (although with a lot of others help also). I will try to post more often.

    Question of why 12/30/86 and 7/16/88 are important to me. AJS had the correct answer, because of the guest drummers during drumz. But it was the whom, in who were the guests. On 12/30/86 it was Hamza El-Din (&Jose Lorenzo) and on 7/16/88 it was Baba Olatunji. Both such huge influences bringing depth to Billy and Mickey's poly-rythmic structures during drumz.

    So roughly here was weekend schedule. On 12/30/22 I watched 12/30/86 on the me-tube. Very nice video (probably band created) and soundboard synced up. I had watched once previously but this time it really hit me. That one show, along with 12/27/86 represents one of those closures and new beginnings. Both of those shows have the more heroin induced jams of the late Keith/Donna era shows. I did not get into 12/28/86 as we were shut-out. Maybe someone here, like BTK, can remember when they put the speakers outside for any stragglers and the Shakedown Street crew, which was small. The 12/31/86 sounds like more of the changing sound coming in 1987. Intense upgrades in computers and technology, less in the slow methodical heroin induced jam (I love both). But this time watching 12/30/86 was way more meaningful, to really see and focus on Hamza, and tie him back to Egypt and the tar and talking drum. I do love from "From Egypt with Love" and Ollin Arageed, that rhythm is intense and right up my alley as a former want-to-be drummer. So for me to realize 25 years later that I saw both Hamza and Baba creates a warm feeling all over. I do recommend if you have not seen the 12/30/86 on me tube it is worth a watch, although I think in is labeled 12/31/86, which it is not.

    BTK - thanks for the kind words of friendship and comradery, they do mean much.

    I have several days worth of reading to catch up. I just wanted to make sure I remember to finish previous thoughts, as that is getting harder and harder to do.

    Ok, will post and read to edit. I know I need an editor, kind of like young reporters today whose story telling/reporting is not good.

    Top Reasons to Have a Cat

    You don’t have enough urine or fecal material in your house and you want more.

    You really dig randomly finding cat puke all over the house in a variety of unusual and unexpected places.

    You don’t like to sleep through the night and want something to wake you up every couple of hours, but you don’t want to have a baby.

    You feel like it would be cool to have a greater potential exposure to Toxoplasma gondii, because it sounds like such an interesting parasite, and Toxoplasmosis sounds so fascinating. (See e.g., the wolves of Yellowstone and toxoplasmosis, google it, you’ll find the articles and it is interesting).

    You enjoy finding the back half of mice outside your door on a regular basis. They always eat the head, never the back end, go figure.

    You enjoy watching them slowly destroy a wooden post on your stairway railing by using it as a scratching post. It’s a long-term project for them, but you can see the steady progress, just another way to measure the passage of time.

    Your wife and children left you out of the decision and you’re not quite enough of a cold-hearted bastard to get rid of them. The cats that is, not the family members, none of them have peed all over the house.

    We have two cats. They are indoors and outdoors cats, and in theory they are using the great outdoors as a latrine, but that is not always the case, especially if it is too far below freezing outside. One cat peed on the living room couch on 4th of July a couple of years ago late in the night. Everyone else was asleep so I took the opportunity to take the giant couch outside for disposal. It was a large couch, and I am not large, but I picked up that cat pee contaminated couch and got it down the stairs and through the front door, barely, and outside without waking anyone up. Wife woke up in the morning like, wtf, where’d the couch go? The couch did not come back inside. Now I try to keep the cats in a travel carrier or outside on 4th of July to avoid a repeat.

    Edit: Don't get me wrong, I like the cats, but they don't make it easy sometimes.

I always liked the LLR's from 1976 to 1977 most - Donna Jean at her best, singing harmony. I would also say that was my favourite period for the band in terms of their singing generally - Jerry's voice seemed to improve to me during this period. Obviously, I don't listen to them for their singing abilities, so I prefer earlier years - but that was one quality that seemed to develop to my ears. It was certainly an improvement from 1974.

I think I tend to go off ballads more quickly than other types of music because, inevitably, they always tell the same tale. Slow songs telling a story can get boring in time as there only so many times you can listen to the same song telling exactly the same tale. The interest then lies in how such a song is played, rather than in the actual song itself. To me, "Friend of the Devil" got deadly dull in its slow style. But if they had perked it up a bit, as in pre1974 versions, I would have enjoyed it a lot more.

I also bought Dawn of the Dead on dvd quite a few years ago. I remember enjoying it - clips of acid tests which are intriguing. If I'm remembering the right film -I think I got it around the same time as that Merry Pranksters one "Magic Bus" and I may be confusing the two.

Near as I could find Al hasn't attended a show. And even though they were all environmentalists Tipper was the Deadhead in the family that got the Dead invited to the residence according to the Jerry and Woody Harrelson smoked in a bathroom there story. Pat is known to have attended 6 shows or more usually with a camera in tow. No Bill Walton but...and then it comes down to is President Pro-Tem as high a rank as President of the Senate. I went with equal as the job is the same, it's just temporary. How's that for splitting hairs? LOL

Donna's wail was actually much better in 76/77, pretty much in tune.
On the other hand, Bobby's screaming in Estimated got longer and more annoying as years went on(somebody here qualified it as histrionics, which sounds about right.)

Of all the GD things that have not aged well, the screaming is perhaps the most obvious, at least in my household.
If it weren’t for the yelling/screaming, I might of been able to convert the Other One over the years, but as soon as she hears, ahem, certain “things”, well, let’s just say the vibe changes in our house lol. 😉

We often wonder where that all came from?
Was it Janis’s influence in the sixties, was it drugs, was it rooted in the inadequate equipment and no monitors early on, was it just part of the sixties rock culture in general and all that bottled up sixties energy? I’d say probably D all of the above?
I believe I read something once that Bob got into the primal scream thing back in the seventies, but Pig, and even sometimes Jerry went there too, so maybe that’s not the antecedent, but it probably is why he seemed to up it.
Or, knowing Bobby, if he knew some folks didn’t like it, he did it more on purpose as he’s been known to do lol.
I’m guessing Donna was coached by Bob on this?
Of course this is another unfortunate idiosyncrasy of Sound Boards: the vocals are often unnaturally loud comparatively to the instruments etc, making it more noticeable, but certainly not the root cause…
I’m sure it wasn’t so bad live, well at least until later when Bob started doing as a normal part of some songs i.e., Estimated…where sometimes it was cool, but often it was too sustained and/or over the top.
Curious if anyone else has ever thought about this?

Personally, I think a little of short duration can add some good energy, i.e., OMSN, but to me, there is a fine line and sometimes it’s too over the top and/or goes on too long…but that’s just me.

I’m so glad Damar’s doing better but I just knew the league would f##$& us (and possibly Cinnci) and not finish the game. Hey, anything to promote their new golden boy Mahommes now that Tommy’s not it so much.
If he had to come to Bu faf in January with the mafia after all the teams been through this year….bastards!

And as long as I’m being Debbie downer, 2 year anniversary today and the main traitors to our country who committed treason via an attempted coup on national television, still walk free while the prisons are still filled by folks for minor drug busts…

Ok, sorry, (smack my self outta it) time for a bad ass Here Comes Sunshine!
Happy Friday folks!

EDIT: thanks for the DotD intel Conkid and Cousins!

Roky Erikson could unleash a blood curdling scream when the mood took him. The one captured on the live 13th Floor Elevators show in California 1966, on the cover of The Beatles "The Word" is truly harrowing. No doubt that the doors of perception were open there. Or that they might have been better left closed.

There was a connection between Roky and Janis Joplin, both coming from Texas. I think she was mooted to perform with the Elevators in the very early days. Who influenced who, or whether they developed their vocal tics independently of each other is now lost in the mists of time, and matters not.

Weekend Comin...

Time for some corn squeezzins, bear drankin, and hog-leg rollin...

Our minor discussion of 12/30/86 got me thinking, especially what you posted.

When I rate shows seen, 12/30/86 was never in my top 5.

Now that I ponder that show, it surely is in my top 5. I might watch it again this weekend. It wasn't even in my top 10 until our discussion and the re-watch. It may make my top 3 and far stretch #2...Have to do some serious thankin bout thangs.

Anthem of the Sun bubbled up this morning...HOORAY! God bless the Grateful Dead.

Yes, the coup leaders are walking free. Fuck 'em with the iron sausage. Life is indeed not fair or right or just. This country is a joke. It completely boggles my mind. AND, those leaders are supported and loved by millions. I spit on their haircuts...

screams...I never did see why people thought Janis Joplin was so great. Her singing makes ping-n-pong go hiding upwards.

GD screaming and screeching...sometimes I am ok with it, other times...no.

If you don't like my comments, take comfort in the fact that the feline in my house still thinks the couch is a good pot to piss in.

Sorry to laugh at your predicament PF, but it is kinda funny though (if it’s not yer couch!) perhaps not as funny as stepping in poop in the middle of the night ; ) Not laughing at you (or vguy) just life!
“Life is a carnival, believe it or not, life is a carnival, two bits a shot”
I seem to HAVE to smash my old battered knee on the corner of the bed during late night pee trips, especially when I think of it, and try not too lol.
I can feel your frustration through your words…your not alone, 2020s bad mojo continues: after everything else that went wrong last year, cars, sinks, washers etc, now our 3 year old radon fan just went from whisper quiet to beyond annoying high pitched whirring that you can here all over the house.
Place it sounds the loudest/worst…right above my big dedicated stereo listening chair, Dooaahh!
So hang in there brother, this darkness got to give….doesn’t it?

JANIS: yeah I’ve always had mixed feelings about Janis. Her energy and often gut wrenching sound was definitely powerful, but sometimes the screaming is too much…OR, I’m just becoming yet another off my lawn grump old bastard! It would have been interesting if she’d stuck around, as you’d think, like Jimi was, she’d want to move on eventually. Playin with the Elevators before she became a legend would have been interesting…

GARY: ok, you’ve got me really interested in 12/30/86. It sounds familiar but I’m not at home so can’t look and see if I’ve seen/heard it? I’ve always liked 3/24/86 best out of what I’ve heard from that year. Another of those years it’s easy to sorta write off, but then you find some occasional chestnuts that make you go whoa! (Like every year really).
I think up you said it’s listed as 12/31 on usetube? Hmmmm I’ll have to check it out!
Glad to see ya and hope you’ve been well?

We forgot to mention James Brown; one of the great screamers, one of the few that could really pull it off, along with Roky Erikson.
Also well worth a mention, Tom Araya.
At the other end of the scream spectrum, there's Yoko "jamming" with Chuck Berry on TV, look it up!
Janis was great when not screaming; the Pearl LP is her best, in my opinion.

Thanks Cousins, that made my day.
The looks on Chucks face….priceless!
DG outta keep that clip handy on her phone so next time somebody gives her grief she can wip this one out lol

Agree about JB. Never saw JB, but did see Maceo at a small gig.
Holy crap what a great show!
Knew of him, figured I’d like it, but yeah, that was one of those sometimes you get shown the light gigs.

That's a great clip of Yoko wailing with Chuck Berry. I don't think Chuck put up with much he didn't like - but even he seems a bit reticent about going up against John Lennon.

....RIP Slayer. I remember seeing them back in 1985 in a club of maybe three hundred people. Saw them four times since.
Dave Lombardo was a machine! Reign In Blood is still an all-time favorite record of mine. In fact, I might relisten to it again tonight.
Rob Halford has a great scream also.
Oh. And an obligatory 🖕 to Yoko.

Fantastic drummer! He's off and on with the Misfits nowadays.
Slayer's definitely not for everybody, I consider them the aural equivalent of Bosch paintings; didn't catch them until 1988 at the Mountain View theatre, which was the last rock show that they had there, Mountain View just could not handle it(Tom Araya's intro: "Welcome to Mountain puke")

Blimey, that takes me back. That reminds me of the pop singles from around 1970-1971 that I would have heard on the radio in the background, while I was waiting for the likes T.Rex or Slade to come on. White Plains were also the kind of group that may have appeared on Saturday night Variety shows around that time.

Zeit Tangerine Dream

Going back to screams, Joe lets rip at the end of The Moonrakers "Night of the Vampire" on that last collection. Not for the faint of heart.

Last Dead - Daves 23, 1/22/78. A great 1st cd - I haven't got on to the other two yet. Jerry ripping it up.

Comment on screams, but my favorite from 30+ years ago was Sebastian Bach at the end of "I Remember You."

Metal Heads out there...

In the late 70's favorite live album was Ted Nugent Double Love Gonzo. By the early eighties It was Priest, Unleashed in the East. Maybe the best metal album ever, IMO.

Then the magic bus came by and I was smart enough to get on it. Even though we know, "The first days are the hardest days."

Is a very well played show all around. For me, the 30+minute drumz was the best part of the show (no space). And that 30 minutes, I do love. Have started thinking of re-rating it. Think it was definitely top 10, maybe hovering in that 7-8 slot. But now has me rethinking my own thoughts on best shows as I haven't had those thoughts in ages. As soon as you get in a good tape trader group, and then the official releases start, it is hard to look back, but as Jeff
Smith always says, "Onward." Too much music to ever think I will get to it all. That is why I am not a completest.

Since nobody mentioned them, and somebody should, here are a couple other notable, if not blood curdling screams.

Careful With That Axe Eugene by Pink Floyd. Sustained and a little disturbing. That scream sounds like maybe Eugene was not careful and just lost a good piece of a finger and hasn't quite processed it yet. Guessing everybody on here is familiar with it. The song, not cutting off a finger with an axe.

Time Has Come Today (long version) by The Chambers Brothers, in the chaotic portion in the middle. Has a real intense vibe to the screams, along with a sort of chill laughter, and it works. Classic psychedelic soul tune, and how could it not be when it includes the lyrics "my soul's been psychedelicized" and sound like they really mean it. Great song.

Yes, Charlie 3, good mention.

A _little_ disturbing? Reeeaallly disturbing. I was walking in the woods one time with Ummagumma on the walkman. When the scream in CWTAE came about I imagined 1000s of trees screaming in agony while being decimated during logging operations. It was, in a word, disturbing.

Maybe he'd be more careful with a WD hatchet. And a gardening apron.

My cat used to scream when I played the harmonica back in the 70's. If it was outside, and we wanted it to come in, I used to stand by the back door, play a few bars, and it would come shooting in from nowhere, with it's belly close to the ground.

I like Careful With That Axe, too. Some great demented versions on the dvd/blu rays enclosed in that Early Years box that came out a few years ago.

I'm also reminded of Iggy Pop's great shrieks, whoops and hollers during T.V. Eye on the "Funhouse" album.

I was just going over this thread when I realized I had listed, "Unshined" by Soundgarden. What was I thinking? It's, "Outshined," obviously... thankfully there is an edit function. Most sites do not allow edits of posts and gaffes remain unaltered...

I went with Outshined over Slaves and Bulldozers due to the fact that the Outshined scream is just that, a stand alone, while on S&B Cornell is singing that line, "Now I know why you've been taken," actual lyrics, albeit with real malice.

Cornell may be the greatest rock singer ever, IMO. He also has some great screams on Audioslave records.

The Roger Daltrey scream on "Won't Get Fooled Again" was arguably the best for decades before the metal guys really got rolling. However, I saw the Who again a few years ago and it was clear that they piped in the original scream off the record during the spot in that song, and Daltrey attempted to sing over/with it. Now while no one can expect a man of that age to sound like he did back in the day, I thought it a bit gimmicky.

Careful With That Axe is on a whole 'nother level of psychedelic creepy insanity. It has always sounded like murder on acid to me.

Cheery thoughts on a Sunday morning! Now onto more coffee and walking the dog before football.

\m/

Yeah, what Daverock said, there’s some good ones in the PF Box, some on video.

I was thinking of Roger Daltrey as an example of a scream that wasn’t blood-curdling, but didn’t Robert Plant have some too?

…every morning when I stumble into the bathroom…then I look in the mirror and Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Scariest damn thing eevvvveer!

Yeah, Charlie, guessing ole Eugene didn’t have a Working Mans Dead official hatchet with compass in the stock and this thingy that tells time….Oooppss

Blood, Sweat, and Tears, Child is Father to the Man, track 1: Overture!
I used to be able to laugh like that!

Isn’t all metal screaming of some kind or another?

A smorgasbord of offense

Nah...

No need to scream vguy
The Dolfings won

Oh, and dah Bills too

Because Buffalo has been through a mass shooting deadly snowstorm and a near-death of one of their football players, I am backing them in the post season.

If the Seahawks get eliminated, that is.

You know the Seahawks will get knocked out today...

A scream to remember. Papa's Will, by Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes from the album Survival of the Fittest, recorded in East Detroit on Jerry's birthday, 1970. Very scary. Scary, scary. lol

Good find Vguy! My folks had tons of his stuff that is now mine, even some 78s. I need to get an old Dual turntable or the like to spin those 78s. My Philips only does 33 and 45rpm. Haven't looked that one up yet but I'm guessing it is a rarity since it is from his Army Air Corp days. Most folks don't know the US Air Force name didn't start until after WW2. IMHO Glenn had the coolest smoothest sound of all the big bands and wasn't afraid to jazz it up. I have found numerous box treasures at the Salvation Army and Goodwill type stores for next to nothing. Good hunting!
Cheers
Edit: A couple on Fleabay. Good one - $20.90 + $5. shipping, Crappy damaged box - $10. + $10. shipping. Pristine would add a premium for sure. Never seen that record.

I smiled quietly to myself when I saw this.

When I was a lad of 16, working in a gas station, I changed a tire for a guy and in his trunk he had two collections.

One was the Glenn Miller you mentioned and the other was a Benny Goodman collection (the Golden age of Swing..... limited edition!!!)

These are NOT 33 LP's, they are soft cover books with 45's. Most have two songs per side. The books are less than mint, but the records seem fine.

They don't appear to be worth anything :-(

We had a radio show down here done by an old guy (the collector), and he played old stuff from the 20's to the 40's off old 78's. Since I have about 700 78's I called one night to ask him about them. He said records made after ww 2 weren't worth anything since they made tons. But ones made during the war are worth something since the material used was needed in the war effort.

ps - my sister got me all four phish lp on lp........... as soon as I get a turntable up and running!!

Dennis - you sound as though you have a great record collection. Your post reminded me of a collector who I saw a film about some years ago called Joe Bussard. He apparently collected thousands of 78's in his lifetime - all pre war jazz, country and blues from what I can remember. Hated rock n' roll.

Coincidentally, I watched the first episode of The Ken Burns documentary called, "Jazz" last night, and I decided to seek out various artists as I go through it. Trouble is, the best way of collecting-the most economic anyway - is to get cds - and there is just so much of it out there. The best Jelly Roll Morton set seems to be a 5 cd box on JSP - that's a heck of a lot of Jelly Roll Morton! It apparently sounds better, and is less expensive the single cd sets. Less is more, as they say.
