    BlueCrow, you're Dead right of course re: Waldron; still no reason for interested parties not to checkout either title.

    Today: a magnificent sounding Axis/Bold as Love. Is it me or is this one of Jimi's most unique & exquisite sounding albums (I've got the JPN SICP 30822 release and the production value matches the amazing sonics).

    Of note, my homepage feed was populated w/ a slideshow re: 10 seventies acts that have cult followings. Like most of you, I've either got the bulk of discographies for most of the listed acts OR at least heard of the remainder, except one: Gnidrolog (!?). Brit Prog outfit from '69-'72, absolutely amazing stuff that I've never heard mentioned across diverse forums or acquaintances 'in the know'.

    After some sampling on Dcogs I quickly ordered the twofer release of their freshman & sophmore albums, as well as the Live '72 release. Check it out on your streaming service or, like me, who doesn't stream, numerous uploads on Utube. Be safe all.

    Phil meltdown coming out of Eyes into "Space".

    Edit - and followed that up with the 12/6/73 bonus disc with "that" Dark Star and it was crazy good with some extended passages with Phil going full Godzilla / proto Seastones and I loved it.

    Didn’t finish the amazing 12/31/90 yesterday, so fired up much of it again, and besides Jers tired voice in spots, this show kicks ass!
    What a night it was, though I won’t go into lured details lol
    What a year, almost in spite of Brent’s passing!
    I think the consistency, spacey/jammy, and all around playing stands with any year!

    So, I’ve previously hit 2/19/91 via Bolo POTD, so just rounding the 2 remaining out until spring tour…which I’ll prolly do in 2026?

    Next trip I’ll hit all the end of 1980 post RCMH etc…
    Then 12/89 & first 3 of 90, then a few from the end of 79, then end of 84 and early 85.
    Perhaps I’ll start digging into 1970 a bit early next year?
    Onward!

    It's been too long since I heard Tangerine Dream

    High School days to be precise ... Seems the ethereal is lately (much) needed to cleanse the dust of the mundane, or something like that.
    In that spirit +/-, I first put on 'A Love Supreme' this morning, and am ensconced in the amazing DP 36 Philadelphia, 09.21.1972 - approaching the ethereal Dark Star / Morning Dew on disc 3.

    (Edit) Note: I guess I'll have to save the incendiary / explosive (Other One) filler from 09.03 for another day ... when a more cranked up mood comes around. ; )

    Kate - yes, that's another good one. On my playlist for later. I also have it in the the Official Bootleg series - Volume 1. along with Mannheim 1976.
    I didn't get it, but this also came out on vinyl as RSD release. Various versions - some were pressed on picture discs of stained glass windows, which look amazing on the photos. What they sound like may be another matter.... they look more like something you could dangle in front of your window on a thin chain so the sun could catch them.

    Live from the Kate Wolf Music Festival 1997 - 2003

    love the music of Greg and Kate

    np - I Want My Country Back

    earlier - funny as hell to me that Tequila and Me (and the wall) is a Kate Wolf song.

    earlier still - Paris Moods was a chill late night listen - thanks Kate. Jacky Terrasson on piano though, not Mal Waldron. It was reversed, Mal is on French Story (which I couldn't find on utoob - not a spotify person.) I still have several Mal lps (of the 100+ he plays on) on the Enja label from way back in my Jazz Record Mart days which was part of reason I focused in on that.

    for the tech heads here (looking at you Oro) there is the first of a 3 part interview with Jamie Howarth, the man behind Plangent Processes, in issue 212 of Copper - The Journal of Music and Audio (at PSaudio dot com). Also a piece with Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlins.

    Dave, I was waiting for inspiration to strike! Excellent call on the band & era ... just pulled TD's Bootleg Series 1. That ominous ambient intro to the first Reims set (12/74) is apropos of the Gothic venue. That one would make rank on the Time Travel Wish List.

    Earlier, the punky hard rock sounds of Rocket from the Tombs seemed the right antidote for some work-related production stress ("The Day the Earth Met...", "Rocket Redux", and "Barfly"). The more difficult things become on that front, the louder, faster & more strident the music from my speakers tends to be.

    The 31st I’ve heard but giving it the once over again.
    The 30th things pick up with a different, noticeable energy versus the previous 2 shows. A fine show and similar to earlier in the fall.
    The 27&28 are good shows, perhaps just not as much juice?
    CAT, Hamza Drumz, and Baby Blue stood out on the 27.

    28 had a nice Muddy, Stella, fun Victim>FH to close first, with one of the show highlights being the sweet jam out of FH! In fact, where they maybe don’t always rock as hard here, there’s many cool jams during the fall/winter, which lends to a different kind of goodness! Think Bruce was into getting Jer to loosen up and explore these tours? The jam outta He’s Hone is a good example and another show highlight.

    The 30th opens with an up Bertha, and SMOKIN’ Stranger! Sweet Candyman, High Time, boogieing Bobs, and fun, unfortunately last Valley Road.
    Second we’ll played, with another big Playin/jam/Drumz to be dug. Whole set is good but ole Jers voice is starting to ware at the edges a bit, which doesn’t bother me.
    31st has a good personal story, but a bit off color, so we’ll just give this fine show and fitting end for a (sans Brent’s passing) awesome year a ride, one mo time!
    Onward!

    This Black Friday release of the Glasgow 11/20/74 is great. A double album - the last side featuring excerpts from another show in 1974. In the same space as Phaedra and Rubycon, but the whole shows were improvised at this time, from beginning to end. This a really good one.
    Best get a pal to hold on to your ankles if you play it...you may end up floating up and away.....

From a podcast of Deadshow of the month I recorded about 15 years ago. No break between tracks unfortunately. So if I stop listening after half an hour, I have to go back to the beginning. Anyway, it opens with China-Rider, and is well good.

I was at that Spectrum show. One thing in particular I remember was peaking during Scarlet>Fire and saying to myself, "whoa, they just played that backwards, note for note". Funny, the things we remember. Finally got a copy of that tape, and, no, they did not. But it was a damn fine show!

Hey rockers!

Right now I'm listening to San Antonio November 12, 1971. Maybe not classic, but a solid, fine show. Lots of the new material on display and an Other One that bobs and weaves through many different spaces. Underrated and rarely spoken of. Always worth a listen.....

When it comes to Texas in 1971, Austin gets the love, TCU gets a hug, San Antonio gets stood up at the prom.

Our memory is and always will be as good as time travel gets, and in the meantime time will do the travelling for us.....

Rock on,

Hey rockers!

Right now I'm listening to 2/11/70, not sure why but it sures sounds great!!

My best friend and I were at the 6/21/84 show, we rode up on the motorcycles and had a blast. The three song encore was super sweet. Hey now!

And then we caught the SPAC show on the ride back. Those were the days!!!

Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain......

Rock on!

Dear friends

I truly believe that it is impossible to listen to the Grateful Dead while being unhappy. They won't banish unhappiness from your life, but will go a long way towards enhancing the joys that life brings.

Currently listening to "Dear Jerry: A Celebration....", with The Yonder Mountain String Band playing "Shakedown Street". The woman fiddle player's voice adds a great dimension to the song. Well well well....

started with Ball, then went to Heavy then to In-a-gadda-da-vida, then Metamorphosis (my favorite). What a great band, Via con Dios Doug.
Back in the day, every would-be drummer played that drum solo from the in-a-gadda-da-vida lp, it was like a rite of passage.
Personally, the guitar solo in this lp, the "iron butterfly" screeching during that solo is a sound that was coined as "Heavy Metal" before such a thing was thought of.
What a time to be young.

"How do you do?"
1976-09-25 at that Cap Center in MD, can't resist that Set 2, and no need to explain, just listen and BTW thank that mr. latvala for diP #20
[inside diP #20 don't forget about that fan letter stating "always felt it to be unfair to force Dead Heads to turn to illegitimate & poor quality bootlegs"
and suggests that the band "put out a line of recordings of your concerts."]
and so to TPTB I say "keep them COMING!"

A little bit quicker and...
we might have time to say "How do you do?"

I saw comments when 1-22-78 vinyl came out that it was a bad pressing.
How was your copy?
I suspect that some are bad but that there are some good ones too.
I didn’t buy it because of the bad reviews.

Cnkd - luckily mines 100% proof. No scratches or any audible interference at all. I have to say also, that whenever I have bought some L.Ps off deadnet, and one of them is less than perfect, it has always been replaced by them with no problem. I'd go for it!
Great show of course. I'm now back into 1978 for a while - Dicks Picks 18, featuring the two shows from 2/78, is a stone cold classic as everyone knows.
