    12/20/09 Stork Club, Oakland, CA, sbd (via relisten, show presented by Tom the Nurse)

    A couple days ago spun their 2000 release "The Amazing California Health and Happiness Road Show" and it really really hit the spot.

    Love their sound - instrumental psychedelic surf, long jam style.

    edit - Honeybomb!!

    Canterbury etc

    Gong, and then Steve Hillage were the Canterbury linked bands that meant most to me. Possibly because I saw Gong live in early 1974. To this day, the trippiest event I have ever witnessed without actually tripping myself. You didn't need to with Gong - it was all in the music and presentation. I hadn't taken anything at that time, but it was immediately obvious that they were emanating from a different dimension. A real sign post to otherness. Of their albums, the highlights for me are "Camembert Electrique" and "You" - but anything with Daevid Allen on really.
    Steve Hillage's solo albums from the 70's are also great. My favourite of his is one called "L".

    I also remember " The Snow Goose", which I thought of as being more in a Pink Floyd circa "Meddle" type vein.
    As for "Future Games" by Spirit - yes, I agree 100% !

    Bear's John Hammond

    Speaking of 1973, anyone review John Hammond's You're Doin' Fine from Bears Sonic Journals? I recall listening to John's country blues way way back in the early 70s... thrilled to hear and meet him at the North Atlantic Blues Festival in Rockland Maine a few years ago.

    Forgot to say - re-listening to Friend Of The Devils at the moment!
    Dicks 2 was great!
    Also I still think that the best album to get stoned to is Future Games by Spirit

    Rolling A Joint On Caravan

    Ha! I have rolled so many joints on that album!
    Good to see people are liking it - Caravan were an important part of the'Canterbury music scene' which spawned Soft Machine, Hatfield And The North, National Health, Gong etc but Land Of Grey And Pink is probably the pinnacle.
    Richard Sinclair being I think one of the great vocalists and bass players
    If you like that check out Camel - especially Mirage and The Snow Goose and there is also a Cantrbury connection in that Sinclair played on Rain Dances and Breathless
    I also saw them on the Breathless tour in of all places Canterbury!
    Enjoy!

    The Radio Luxembourg Show...

    ...may 16 1972

    on the medium wave 208

    I can remember being
    9 years old
    stilling in the parlor
    of my grandparents house
    less than 5 miles
    from the border between
    East & West
    Germany
    looking at a large square box with large ivory push-buttons
    with strange names written across the display
    names like
    Helvetia
    Luxembourg
    Telefunken
    Munchen

    yeah, so this show does hold
    a special place
    in memory
    of those summers (68, 69, 74, 75, 77)
    at my grandparents
    with that old Telefunken radio

    PEACE for ALL!

Steve Kuhn's 1986 gig at The Village Vanguard, with Ron Carter bass, Al Foster drums, "Life's Magic". Kuhn, now in his mid 80s has recently stopped touring. He's a little under the radar when the big name piano jazz comes up, a fine session here.

Morning rockers!!

Paperwork day, no autopsies, too much coffee.........

Well, not exactly today, but over the weekend listened to the entire Family Dog run of February/March 1970. Fun shows, great stuff!!

Re box set rumors, while digging into the dark dusty corners of my own archive I was reminded that recordings of the June 12 & 13 1970 Hawaii shows are in the vault and are very decent quality...............

When there are dogs and music, people have a good time........

I agree that this was a great and most welcome choice throughout 1974. Some great jams were resolved by going into this song - flying from outer space and landing smoothly on Planet E.

Has there ever been a time where they played shows from a soon to be released box set on Sirius/XM prior to the announcement of a box set? Just curious as I don't have Sirius/XM.

Would love to see those 80 Alaska shows come out or other 80 shows.

It's the bane of my life ( slight exaggeration) that Dicks Picks with segments of this and two other 1974 shows. I have never made notes about which song comes from which show, so I always have to get Deadbase down to try and figure it out. Either that or just forget about it and play the cds as they are.

The collector in me wants everything organized by show date.
I even have the Ummagumma live album in its own folder with the date.
I don’t do it to all non-GD bands. A lot of live albums are sourced from an entire tour so I leave them that way.

Love that this an official release. I was there. This was sort of a prelude to me following the GOGD for the next six years or so to the best of my ability. Good folks at local radio station WLIR. I still say the Calderone was a crappy venue, but they had great shows!

I purchased the CDs, ripped them twice, and then proceeded to listen on a streaming service. I don't know why I do anything at all sometimes...

It's nice though....

Playing the brand spanking new reissue of Feats Don't Fail Me Now. It's a 3 CD set, with the original album remastered, a disc of outtakes, and a live set. Always liked the original LP, and grateful to have two 'new' discs of Lowell.

A fun, beautiful show on a gorgeous summer Saturday afternoon in the PNW. My youngest brother in town for an extended visit that ran through Eugene and beyond - seeing shows, backpacking the Olympics and Cascades, camping at Tahkenitch. Jerry's first public performance with Lightning Bolt - not that we knew that - all we "knew" was it all sounded fantastic. This show was just exactly perfect and would make a mighty fine official release.

...the Summer theme continues even though I just listened a couple of weeks back, 1991-06-24 SANDSTONE Amphitheatre...are you listening, it's SUMMER 1991! just a couple of days removed from Soldier field (anyone remember inside the stadium on the concourse, there were banners hanging with notable CHI football players, I stop and look up, and no shit it's Charley Trippi (a running back with the early Chicago Cardinals) oh man this is gonna be a fun few days!
We get to Kansas City on the 23rd (cheap flight from O'hare), rent a car, and go to tour this little unknown at the time craft brewery, Boulevard Brewing, and guess who is working the bottling line, yup nametag on his work shirt verifies that it's Trip! I kid you not. About 13-14 years later, I learn from a former manager that Trip was one of the 1st 5 employees @ Boulevard. what's next when we get out to Sandstone...?
1st set tuning we even get a slight hint of supplication, but little did we realize...

Peace All!

Their first show at Red Rocks. And a killer show as we all know. In the July '78 Box (which I have and love). On Archive prefer the OctopusRider matrix (which I'm listening to now). There are killer audience tapes of this show - early on I had one into Fire transition and it became an integral part of my GD being. The first set is nonpareil. The Cold Rain Set II opener is the GOAT.

Hey rockers!!!

Right now I'm listening to the Hollywood Palladium show of September 9, 1972. It's a little outside of my serious comfort zone, but a very fine show and definitely worth a listen.

This was officially released a little over a year ago, and seems to have been quickly forgotten. There's actually quite a few really good later 72 official releases, worthy of relistens every so often...........

I know, you're shocked, Doc raving about post-E72 shows. No I didn't fall down and hit my head. But last night I did fall outta bed while dreaming of a February/April Fillmore West 1970 box set.............

My masters are strange folk with very little care for music in them.....

Keep it rockin'!

The Police - February 1979 - today it's known as University of Hertfordshire but back then it was still Hatfield Poly. Great show, there's video as well (believe BBC? Whatever, it's good stuff)
