Grateful Dead

My apologies for the misspelling. You can blame auto correct for that one.

Totally agree on the Blackhawks jersey. The greatest jersey in all of sports. Not even close. I already own two of them, just in case one breaks. Or if the politically correct people make them change it.

I held off on the Leaf jokes simply because the playoffs haven’t started yet. But, I do appreciate your candor.

Time too short for me to delve into jazz talk, trying to head south again before a big snow. However the Herbie conversation has me thinking back in the day when Herbie rocked my world with his work with Miles and his album Head Hunters. And the mentions of Weather Report as well, fan of Jaco. There's a semi obscure recording by Airto Moreira must mention, and for those who want to see how good their victrola is, Airto Moreira and the Gods of Jazz, Killer Bees. Check out who is jamming with Airto and the rather incredible audio tracks to be found there. Not something you might listen to often, well worthy of a journey.

My DaP 45 has two tiny skips at the end of the encore.
Oh well, no big. The rest is fine.
Cheers

Both DaP 45 and DaP 23 Vinyl still around.
Alvar may be right. There are other Dave's that may have done better. But the series in vinyl is young and there's room for many more releases.

Hey Jack - always great to have Auston back in uniform. As for beating the Bruins, the Leafs have to get by Tampa first, and…well…time to buff up the golf clubs. Jerry always said the Dead would blow the “big” shows - Woodstock, etc - well the Leafs fold like a pup tent on Everest when the playoffs start.

As for uniforms, I’ve always said there are only 2 in the NHL - Chicago’s jersey, and everyone else’s!!

Mike - Thanks for the feedback. The last time I saw Elvis, he joined the Cowboy Junkies on stage for a rendition of "Blue Moon." Not really, of course.

Congratulations on getting Austin Matthews back. I am counting on you to take out the Bruins. Now that the warmer weather is almost upon us, I will follow the NHL a bit more closely. Nice win by the Jets last night over the Rangers.

Being an avid hockey fan, I have another question for you. Do you prefer the white or red Red Wings jersey? Please don't be offended. I wore a Maple Leafs jersey during my entire scrub hockey career. The reason I ask is that I am in the market for a new rollerblading jersey. I wore my Reggie Dunlop jersey last week and everyone thought I was a Kansas City fan.

There you are Amigo! Your mother and I have been worried sick!
Seriously, I hope all is well. Because one of my kids is getting married this year, and we are planning to move, I’ve not been buying very much at all, just enjoying the collection. But I feel the levee is not going to hold much longer…! I see Mick Taylor playing on a new Ron Wood tribute album to Jimmy Reed. Larry Campbell has a release. A new Dave’s is being cued up….

Ha, ya got me lol.
I didn’t see AJS post, just “Elvis opened for Dylan”, like whaaa??
Imagine that!

Big ole howdy do to Great North Mikey.
Thanks to you and all the hep cats here with this fine jazz talk.
Still digging what Santa brought, but it’ll be time soon to go back to the well, so now I have more groovy intel…
Shanks All!

AJS - I saw Elvis open for Dylan one time, in Syracuse. He played solo - no band, just an acoustic guitar, but my memory was that he was really entertaining.

Dennis - I am with you - the folks on this site are first rate musical fans, and plugged in to some really great musical tastes, and I enjoy reading - and occasionally buying - the recommendations. It is not surprising, given our common admiration for the Grateful Dead, who could play it all. You often hear of this “Great American Songbook”, which is the recognized mainstays by Gershwin, etc, but to me, the term Great American Songbook applies equally to the Dead canon. They distilled so many influences and styles into their songs, and created music we are still raving about 28 years after they last played collectively .
Remarkable.

Venus and Jupiter in the western sky

Have any of you fine folks seen him in concert? If so, any thoughts.

I understand that he is very good, but seems to have tailed off a bit more recently.

Thanks.
