    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.

I was there, I recognized the t-shirt Jerry is wearing :-)

Second set opened with a great Cold Rain & Snow intro that stretch until the first raindrops started down, then, "I married me a wife.....", and the cold rain poured down!

And poor Dennis in only a t-shirt!

Dark Star just started.

12-18,19-73, and the other chop jobs from that Fall tour (11-20, 11-30, 12-4, 12-6) should be Plangentized/Normanized, Boxed up, and released.

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.

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"
- Robert Hunter

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.

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.

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.

Subtitled "the pagan sound of British and Irish Folk 1966-1975" this is another excellent compilation released by Grapefruit a few years ago. Typically 3 cd sets from the above timespan, there are now quite few excellent compilations released on this label. This particular one follows on from one called "Dust on the Nettles" - also recommended, that came out a few years before this one.

Earlier LP titled C.C.B.B. - A Lot of Bottle
(EMI import from England)
Later just C.B.B. - Sense of Direction
Bought used in the '70s for $2.50 and $2.75.
A little nostalgia to start the day.
Cheers
Hey Daverock - I never realized these guys are British, lol!

1stshow - they are one of those bands I've heard of, but never actually heard. I always imagined them to be in the same bag as another band I never heard - Chicken Shack. Of course, not having heard either, it's impossible to tell.

Listening to Postcards of the Hanging & comparing it with Dylan & the Dead.
The Dead recording is really crisp while the Dylan one sounds very muddy, & the lyrics of I Want You are almost impossible to make out.

PS - 10/18/84 thanks for the nudge, I remember the drive north on the NJTPK
with Chumpweed [he passed out in the park before the start of City Island
(thnx DL for this week's Taper's Section) in downtown Harrisburg,
and he was hell-bent on staying in control for the Meadowlands Arena],
and I was very happy that I didn't write the boys off
after the 10/6 Richmond show as two friends had done;
yet for some reason the UJB clearly sticks out...
...maybe, yes, ah now I know, it was my 1st live ujb.

I haven't heard this show since attending it,
but will attempt to stream it in the very near future...thnx Oro

Finally getting to this one while 52 waits in the mailbox. Will Duke be the best of the box? I'm guessing Dave thought so or it wouldn't be the break-out single show release. Rare day when I should be able to hear a whole show in one sitting. Thanks Honey!

Chumpweed lol, now thhhaaatt is a moniker!
Dug 10/18: Nice Stranger Candyman, Big RR, Dancin, etc, but the Playin sandwich was the shizzle. Pretty good tour, perhaps not so much of the go go juice as earlier in the year? Forgot how good 10/20 second set was…

1stshow: I thought Duke was good, but not top dog…but from the 11th onward their all so good it’s hard to choose! Enjoy!

As good a night as any for mentioning the above British label. I notice they have started selling cassettes now as well. Very groovy.

I dipped into the Box yesterday from where I left off - which was 4/11. As Oro said - top drawer. That's a great Fire-Scarlett and the first set is good. The only downside was neither the 1st or the 3rd cd would play on my hi fi. They both played on my portable one though, so I am hoping now I have broken then in they will play on the main one.

Should be an interesting year without the Archive being available. I don't even use it most of the time unless I'm really stuck for an answer. It just takes too long to validate my guesses. I'm just in it for fun first thing in the morning. Good luck to all. I've been trying to win a calendar for many years now.
