Grateful Dead

Nice to be reminded of a birthday instead of a deathday. The last time I saw Robin Trower - it feels really recent, but it was probably about 10 years ago, he and his band were still tremendous. "Bridge of Sighs", from 1974, is a stone cold classic.

Hey now.

The funniest thing to me, Sheik, is that all my pertinent potential posts over the past couple weeks got halted by the Hey Now gestapo. Such is life on deadnet

Let's see if a quick brief of the pertinent post gets through, since I seemed to have luck with the RRE post. 49 sound is really good, guessing BetaMax or VHS, not cassette source, fuller bass than other PA mixes. On the topic of slide, Little Red Rooster was truly horrific, perhaps the very worst I've heard. The Playing sequence was quite good, especially the jam out of China Doll (which goes back to 10/4 before they do the intro/outtro tease of Playing then jam into Drums). Jerry's voice sounded better than the Archive versions, but mercifully China Doll went to a jam after one La La La La La La round, that one round of it was rough. Overall a B release, but better than #s 35, 36, & 39, which didn't sound as good to my ears.

51 years ago!!! Nappyrag hope you are retired, it 's time to let trees grow. Did you read Austin Powers?

They have done much in 5 or 6 albums than many other bands. For Cash the american recordings can match Townes's.
Alvaranso, don't worry everybody is out of the topic, wich is not the encore of an unknown show.
listening to my dozen of hot tuna shows, conclusion is Jorma, master on aocustic, if Jerry is on electric.
shady grove is the best.

Had a hometown show of a great new grass band from NJ that I've loved since they started playing in 2001. Hadn't seen them in maybe 15 years somehow, and they had to cancel the show back in November due to singer Todd Sheaffer having vocal issues. He was in From Good Homes that opened for the Dead in '95. So, reschedule was last night, and almost forgot and almost didn't go due to long week and day at work. My wife encouraged me, and glad I went. Fantastic show, some of my favorite tunes, and new ones. The encore is what makes this more on topic: Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo! Tim Carbone's fiddle was like seeing Vassar playing it. Big sing along. My first time seeing them play that, but 20 years ago, I was there when they debuted their beautiful rendition of Terrapin Station at the Jerry Garcia Birthday Bash in Tera Alta, WV, still the best festival I've ever experienced. I shot video of most of Half Step and uploaded it to the youtubes.

That movie was shot in late 75/early 76, but it wasn't released to theaters until 1981. I was just finishing my freshman year of high school. Had a few Dead shows under my belt, but was just starting to learn more about the songs. Had just gotten turned onto The Band, and was flipping out over that. Then I saw Heartworn Highways, and fell down the Americana wormhole.
Peace

Robin Trower
