    Gary Lambert played That's It for the Other One as an homage to Phil from this show today on Sat Radio. I caught it on a mini road trip. On the way home they not so coincidentally played New Potato Caboose from the same show about two hours later.

    Phil was hot that night. Perhaps the most special show in Boxzilla, with many contenders.

    From Two From The Vault is one of my all-time GD moments. It has that soothing melody that feels so good after a "My nerves are shot, and I can't take it anymore" section of music like That's It for the Other One. Exactly perfect.

    I wish they would have found a way to keep it in their repertoire a little longer. On the sunny side, I was able to see them perform it both with Phil's band and Furthur in the post Jerry years.

    One of those great, quirky songs. Thanks Phil, you are missed.

    Update

    I was at the Los Lobos show last night.
    When the guys took the stage, David Hidalgo
    stepped up to the mike and said:
    "This is for Phil Lesh."
    They proceeded to open with "West L.A. Fadeaway."

    There were quite a few heads in the audience, and we got
    Evangeline, Not Fade Away, Bertha, La Bamba>Good Lovin>La Bamba
    plus ALL the great tunes Los Lobos is known for. Bitter sweet. What a day it was.

    Phil was Jerry's counterpoint and his bass runs beyond compare

    In a conversation with CNN in 2006, Lesh reflected on the feeling of performing with his bandmates.

    “It’s paradise. At that moment, I’m not really there. And no one is. We are the music, and our personalities as such really cease to exist at all. We’ve been subsumed into the greater personality of the group mind, that’s what’s been created. That’s what’s created when we are creatively improvising, and the flow is really happening. When we are actually channeling, we are opening that pipeline to another reality that speaks to us. And we are acting as transformers, and we have to step that down into musical thought. But this is not something you can do consciously, learn how to do or be taught. It’s just something that happens to you when the stars are aligned properly and when your individual consciousness is open enough.”

    "November and more, as I wait for the score,
    They're telling me forgiveness is the key to every door.
    A slow winter day a night like forever,
    Sink like a stone, float like a feather.
    Lilac rain, unbroken chain, Song of the sawhet owl.

    Out on the mountain, it'll drive you insane, Listening to the winds howl
    Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls, Unbroken chain of shy and sea.
    Unbroken chain of the western wind, Unbroken chain of you and me."
    - Robert Peterson

    "You who choose to lead must follow
    But if you fall you fall alone
    If you should stand then who's to guide you?
    If I knew the way I would take you home"

    I'm in for 3/15/90

    I was always a Phil guy. Jerry and Phil, no offense to the others. After Jerry passed, I was on the Phil side as close as I could get.

    I'm sad beyond description. Phil made a difference. With all the trouble in the world, when I think of bombs, they are always Phil Bombs.

    Again, sad beyond what words can describe. May the four winds blow you safely home Mr. Lesh.
    There's a weird emptiness here tonight. A well-earned void.

    Edit: I changed my mind and went for Augusta 84. Phil denotes and destroys the final jam in Morning Dew. The Phil and Jerry combo was just exactly perfect. I'll do 3/15/90 tomorrow.

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.

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!!
