    Dead Reggae Covers - Fire

    @topchinacat: I have both CD volumes of the Fire on the Mountain Dead reggae covers. The songs are done by the absolute legends of roots reggae. I read a story about the sessions where the artists came in never having heard the songs once before and rocked them in one take. I bought these in the mid-90s when I was new to reggae and since have accumulated a ton. That said, these covers hold up really well and still sound great today on their own or in any roots reggae mix.

    Number One in Where?

    I've often wondered about that Turlock thing, too. Weir made that remark numerous times, so it doesn't seem like just an offhand reference in which he could've inserted the name of any old no name town. (ie, "number one in Cucamonga" or El Centro or whatever).

    I imagined maybe there was a radio station there that played lots of Bakersfield country (Turlock is down that way), and I even went so far as to look that up. But if there was a station, it's long gone.

    So I guess Turlock just stuck in Bobby's mind, for some reason. I've driven through half a million times, because it's on I-5, and you pretty much have to go through there if you're traveling from SF to LA, as one does many times if lives in Cali. But I don't think I've ever stopped, and I can't remember a damn thing about the place. Other than that they love Truckin'. Which means they're probably pretty darn A-OK.

    3-19-73 is a killer, for sure. Just like practically everything I've ever heard from '73. What an epic year.

    What am I listening to right this second? Aaron Copland's piano concerto. (It's morning at La Casa del Crow, still drinkin me coffee.) Very jazzy and dissonant.

    Brothers Dane

    10.25.73 Dane County Coliseum show, interesting twists second set. Very pleased to find full video on the archive of The Brothers concert at MSG from March of 2020 after which the pandemic shut down everything immediately. Great guitar from Warren and Derek, no surprise, the ABB catalog played superbly.

    Rainbow Theatre, 6-3-77 - Bob Marley

    (thanks Dennis!) ... wouldn't it have been great if Jerry & the boys slipped in some of Marley's "jammin" whilst doing so?! Would be just like them, actually. Along these lines, anyone heard the Raggae compilation of GD tunes called "Fire on the Mountain....."? It's alot of fun for a little changeup.......tcc

    Jiminmd - yes, thanks for pointing that out - 10/19/73 is of course Dicks 19 - I played 9/21/72 - number 36 immediately before it. I'm lucky enough to have both on vinyl - a surplus of great records. I haven't got to the Dark Star-MLB-Morning Dew from the 73 show yet. It's split over two sides which might not suit everyone, but I'm okay with it. More than okay!

    #1 in Turlock California

    Yea.. Turlock, per Wikipedia, has a population now (2024) of 72,000 people.

    I'm going out a limb here, but my guess is the town does not document nor publish any sort of top 100 radio / pop song list. Bob clearly had (has) a good sense of humor or perhaps inhaled at least once in his life. Of course I could be wrong how would I know..

    Turlock's a big agricultural crossroads, lot's trucks with California produce driving in, then driving out and then there are the through trucks. So Truckin', yes certainly, perhaps it's still #1 in Turlock California and the truckers cannot get enough of it. Perhaps Bobby still inhales. Who knows for sure, either way, we win.

    10/19/73 is from Fairgrounds Arena - Oklahoma City, Dicks Picks 19. DiP 36 was Philly 72 (9/21 I think?), one of the other Best Eva Dickus Pickus so the two are easily confused, but alas there were so many that fall into the category best ever. Again, win / win.

    10/19/73 most certainly changed my life for the betta. That mind left body, that one (and perhaps the one from Dozin' at the Knick) is (are) truly special. So good, so good. And then, just when you let your guard down the left over gnarly discord from the Dark Star crashes and melts peacefully into one of the most gorgeous Morning Dew's ever performed. Practically perfect in every way. Great, upbeat They Love Each other too.

JGB
Oakland Coliseum
GarciaLive, Vol. 19

has been on my radar since the release in 2022; eventually I'll shake the short change from my old fruit jar, lol!
thanks for asking; had a great weekend with the FEAT, and even better when the wife and I got together with very dear friends.

Funny though, how BK (before kids) we were always hangin' out enjoyin' life, going to see the GD or P & F, and spending vacation time together, now 30 years upon our heads, absolutely crazy how time moves forward, anyway...
always make the most of what you've got, and don't take it for granted or push it aside, especially friends.

I put on my dancin' shoes
We headed straight for the rhythm and blues!

Saw him with Other Ones at Fiddlers Green 8/29 - just dumping rain during his set and it was a cold Colorado rain. Despite that, a fun night. Hornsby sits down at the piano as Other Ones take stage for Set I (rain had stopped?) and immediately begins tuning Dark Star. Friend and I just looked at each other with ear to ear grins. All in!

almost forgot about last week's 1974-06-30, most enjoyable and will return to Springfield Civic soon. Was reading the Vol 1 Compendium last night, and got to the incident where RAMROD got clunked on the skull by one of the tapers because he wanted to confiscated the guy's tape deck. wow, heavy, as told/written by Jerry Moore

...since the last NE show [6/30/74], so looking towards that energy boost with today's listen of Hartford 1974-07-31, got the DL many moons ago which was burned to CD and then imported to my phone (yup the version with the UJB encore tacked onto china>rider), so while it's not daP2 version, it's still going to be a FUN listen.

'74 has had a GREAT run between my ears so far this year... and with that comes a SWITCH of YEARS, let's HEAR how long this next RUN might last; beginning today with 10-28-1991 oakland, and dare I say, a prep for DaP #51 (hmm, a '91 for 51?)
everyone ROCK OUT this weekend, turn UP the VOLUME, and THUMP IT!

Live at Leeds, spinning the vinyl now.

Preceded that with GD 5-3-72 vinyl, which took about 4 hours to get through.
Time well spent.

Bear Family's recent "Memphis Blues Box" is a massive journey into the heart of the blues - from 1914 to 1969.

Last Dead -Shrine 11/10/67 from 30 Trips - although I listened to the record. Incredible stuff it is too, however you hear it. Starts high energy with "Viola Lee Blues" on side one, and by the time we get to sides 5 and 6, with "Alligator-Caution" it's like a train going offa the tracks.

Deep diving into late 60s jazz lately, Freddie Hubbard, Miles, Coltrane. Surfaced this morning with my first listen to Scofields Uncle John's band. Wonderful stuff, had forgotten how great Stewart is on drums, more his up next. Nice to see love for Live at Leeds and would humbly suggest to those who might have not, check out the next night at Hull, though much the same, still great and Keith Moon might edge his Leeds.

Needs to be a Dave’s, preferably DaP 51.

First exposure was in the 90’s when I got the CD. Played it many times. So got the vinyl a few years ago but was kind of let down that it was a single LP and not all the songs that were on the CD.
But, must have been awesome in 1970 when it came out. Maximum R&B!
Never got the Leeds 2 CD reissue, so maybe time to get Leeds reissue and Hull.

... MSG 9/16/19 (a strong '91 show), and since it is LEAP year..., so leaping-on to shoreline 1991-05-10 and the BAND is tight and firing on ALL cylinders. This show gets 3-4 LISTENS every year around these here parts because it's all together and it ALL works during the ENTIRE SHOW with an energetic 1st SET and SUPER enjoyable smooth JAMS in Set 2.

it's got no signs or dividing lines and very few rules to guide

Trying to fill some gaps in my collection from a time when I was going through a divorce/custody battle [which I won].
Just snagged DaP 9,10,11, and 12 with 2014 Bonus.
Digging on Vol. 11 tonight.
Thought I would get the '72 show out of the way first. If everything works out right, I will be flooded with '72 shows next week.
