    Stand Back

    BTK - That sure is a great album. Not sure how its escaped my attention all these years. And Cristo Redentor is a truly beautiful song that also somehow was under the radar up until I keyed into the Harvey Mandel album. That extended version of Christo Redentor on Tennessee Woman is really really fine. Wish the version on Stand Back was jammed out like that - it fades while Mandel is laying down some real fine guitar that you know could keep on going. I'll have to track down some live versions. Went back to the source towards the end of the evening - the original version (I think) on Donald Byrd 's lp A New Perspective. Wow. Fun little rabbit hole.

    edit - and for the record capcha was way way difficult this morning compared to normal but once i ran that gauntlet I didn't get the HN beat down which was a very much a surprise

    Great record. He plays Christo Redemptor at every show. There is a longer version on his album Tenesee Woman.

    Stand Back! Here Comes Charlie Musselwhite's South Side Band.

    Headed down the rabbit hole of Cristo Redentor/Christo Redentor - (Musselwhite uses the second spelling). Cause just found out that it was one of Musslewhite's signature tunes. And it's on this, his debut album, with Harvey Mandel on guitar.

    Uncle Tripe L/ 1982 shows

    I really liked the Frost shows from 1982, that was my favorite year at the Frost. The 1982 Ventura shows were a blast. I don't know if you have listened to these shows yet, if not you might enjoy them.

    so my treasure chest has about 30 shows on cassette from 1982, BUT 28 of them are ALL from July-December [yeah Austin & Zoo were in there too] and so I started wondering what did I miss during the Spring Tour and 1st half of the year, and apparently ALOT. I did attend the 1982-04-5 philly show, and how I luv'd that deep elem, but I missed purchasing the '82 RT 4.4 release due to 2 youngin's and budgeting constraints (lol such is life!) dig-in to the 1st half, it's tasty, and listening to those early try-outs from "in the dark" are not being performed

    was just a baby, my mama told me, Son...but I shot a man in RENO just to watch him die. And my interest has been piqued about this "dear prudence" tease... I was fortunate to see JGB perform "dear prudence" 2X at the Tower Theater {10/31/1981 & 6/27/1982} and so NOW I'm off to RENO 2nd Set 1982-03-13 [archive identifier #112858]

    1982

    I am seeing a lot of chatter about '82 shows lately. I think I may have to get more methodical in my listening, and just devote some sustained listening to this year.

    Back in the day, I had plenty of tapes from early Brent era (79-81) but I had nothing from 83, and for 1982 I just had 7/31 and 8/1. Great shows both, and I loved playing them, but somehow I never caught the 1982 bug. 1982 for me is like a history lesson that I've memorized for the test, you know, what happened on this day in '82 (edit: I was trying to say more about this but just kept getting hey now'd)

Let's Get Together (just played) and now the jaybirds calling on Like a River

Fell in love with Kate's voice and music back in late '80s. Great to have this live set as part of a SEVA benefit concert that includes other favorite musicians of mine (thank you Bear).

8/10/91 - a five-star-give-it-ten-if-i-could favorite from the tape days back in the mid 90s. Awesome that it got released in that box - beautiful sound and show. Shout out to Proudfoot for mentioning that box and steering me here.

Last night.
I’ve heard it before but not sit down listen.
Though didn’t get the best listen last night due to aaaa, “extra curricular” activities/noise in the world.
But it’s an interesting show that you just kind want for it to get released, especially because ya know…AND, it’s Pinkus first show, etc
But I’m not sure it’s good enough, orrrr, tight enough for a Dave’s.
Specifically, the beginning of the second set. Yeah it’s fun sneaking TOG in between S/F but the transitions are a bit sloppy etc, enough, along with other sorta normal what I call Cali laid back looseness lol to perhaps keep it getting “Daved”
As we know, he likes to try and pick the best representation or presentation of the band/music on a specific tour etc, and not necessarily what some might consider “the best show” of the tour.
BUT!
After this Reno show getting out, and as Jim often suggests, sometimes these kind of shows work well to round out box sets, so I could see it as part of a Greek box! Curious what others think of this show?
Think I need a redo, and gonna hit the rest of the 84 summer Cali shows asap.
Onward!

Don’t lend yer hand, to raise no flag, atop no ship of fools!

Sing Out is a great Owsley release, but all the Owsley releases are worth picking up. I was at Sing Out it was a cool show. Kate Wolf was a favorite of mine, I used to go see her play all the time here in the Bay Area.

Traffic - John Barleycorn Must Die (a favorite from way back in the formative years)

and now - David Gilmour - Live in Gdansk

BTK - very cool that you got to see Kate sing time and again including the Sing Out! Seva Benefit. I was introduced to her music right around the time she died (I was Midwesterner then). Guessing a dubbed cassette copy from a friend of the double LP Give Yourself To Love. I in turn shared her music with many others. Such a remarkable, beautiful voice. Streamed the video for her performance of Green Eyes from the Austin City Limits show (don't own that yet) and my goodness how amazing it is. (Edit - originally wrote that it was a performance of Give Yourself To Love when it was in fact Green Eyes.)

Further follow up - 8/10/91 JGB Electric on the Eel right up there with Warner Theatre 3/18/78 (Set II specifically) as an absolute favorite Jerry Band release. So good!!

"Many Thanks, and God Bless You All" from Phil before JB Goode,
of the 3 nights, I always for some reason return to the 15th, it might be the heavy Phil & Brent mix that clinches it for me...fun stuff; even a couple of nice Garcia teases during space...

I'll have mine "on the rocks" please.
Doing a tape of the mid-90s bootleg CD.
Got to run the tape deck now and again to keep everything running smoothly. It keeps the belts and the grease on the mechanism from getting stiff.

I know 3/18/71 St. Louis was included in 30 Trips, but I didn't buy that box. However, in preparation for Dave's Vol 51 I figured I ought to give it a listen. To date I have only ever heard the tail end of the show, the NFA->GDTRFB->Caution etc. So I've just had a listen to the opener (Casey Jones) and am about to get into it properly, but decided I need a sangwich and some water first. Figured I'd make this short post first.

Side note: only Caution of 1971! It would be a full year until it was again played live - at the Academy of Music in March '72. After only 5 documented performances of Caution in 1970, that must have been exciting as heck for the crowd in St. Louis to hear them launch into it.

I’m streaming ‘Ask Me No Questions’ by Bridget St John at the moment. I own it on vinyl and cd but streaming was the easiest way to find it. This is a wonderful album and she deserves to be far better known. It originally came out on John Peel’s Dandelion label a very long time ago.

I think I played some of this last night - the first cd of Dicks Picks 31. If so - I agree - the first track, Playing, doesn't just open the doors of perception, it blows them off the hinges.
It's a bit of of a hotch potch, though, Dicks Picks 31. 4 great cds, but it would have helped if they had said which show the songs came from. I should make my own notes really - every time I play it, I end up sitting here squinting at Deadbase, trying to work out what's what.

The first taste of live Phish, excellent concert, seats down front right above the pit, direct sight lines, in front of Mike and Jon. Quite the venue, spin around to see 20,000 above us. With an old friend who has been to many Dead shows, we had fun checking out the scene. Loud and clean, Trey's voice lessons paid off, sang well. My 72nd birthday. Next up, John Jorgenson's J2B2 bluegrass band, then JRAD on Jerry's birthday. Looking forward to April, 71 #51, thanks Dave, love those fully packed discs.

First time for complete show

Edit: interesting show.
Perhaps a tad uneven, plenty of moments.
Another cool 74 Playin though perhaps not quite in step with some previous?
Guessing this run gets even better as they settle in etc…?

Released as "England's Newest Hitmakers" in the States - with a few changed tracks. 60 years old, and the best of their pre freak beat/psych albums. Maybe the best of all their albums outside the classic 1968-1973 years.

Morning, rockers!!!

Listening to right now? Why of course it's Bucknell, just because. This is one that truly requires no explanation. Unless it does, of course.............

All of the things I used to obsess over, I'm no longer as obsessed with, I have new concerns but they're a little more existential or cosmic......

Rock on my fellow rockers!!
