    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!

    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.

    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.....

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.
