Grateful Dead

a few favorite concerts (other than the dead) Living Colour-1989. My cousin took me to see the Stones at the Medowlands in 1989. Living Colour opened and blew the Stones away. They really had no business even coming on the stage after the torrent of rock offered by Living Colour (Unknown musicians) 1991-1993. Gettysburg bluegrass/music store. Every Friday night these local bluegrass musicians would gather in the small storefront in downtown Gettysburg and play the most amazing bluegrass I've ever heard. These were old-timers right off South Mountain or the farm. My friends and I made it a point to catch them most Friday nights. I wonder if this still happens? Rush/Primus- 1992. I think I still have hearing loss after this tight and intense show! Tommy the Cat at home in La Villa Strangiato! Pearl Jam (Lollapalooza 1992). I've seen them about a dozen times since, but this will always be my favorite. The Meat Puppets- 1993. Psychedelic cow-punk! Husker Du meets the Grateful Dead. I was at a loss for words for like three days after seeing these guys. Whatever happened to them? Phish- (Halloween 1994) My friends arranged this road trip to Glens Falls as my going away present (I left for the Navy three weeks later). Second set, three words: THE. WHITE. ALBUM. Insanity. Vacuums. Trey on drums. I love my friends! Allman Brothers 1997. Right after Christmas in Jacksonville FL. The first time I'd ever seen them. Hooray for Warren! String Cheese Incident 2002. Radio City. Burning Down The House! Bob Dylan 2004. I know Dylan can be hit or miss, but this particular show at American U was crazy. I almost wet myself when he played Hazel. Incredible. Dylan was on fire. My Morning Jacket (bonnaroo 2004) You know how the Dead could sometimes seemingly control the weather? Well, My Morning Jacket opened the heavens at the end of their set with a face melting 13 min Steam Engine.

one of the best shows i've EVER seen- the ozark mountain daredevils, sometime in 1981... princeton wv. and... (sorry, i can't stop!) blue oyster cult (all orig. members) fayetteville wv foghat (w/lonesome dave) fayetteville wv dixie dregs, sometime in '79 wvu tech, montgomery wv seldom scene, 1980 wvu, morgantown wv disco biscuits, 1999 fat daddy's roadhouse (redneck bar), daniels wv

goffchile sez:The Goose is Loose Has anyone seen the Goosecreek Symphony? Someone recently turned me on to them but I have not seen them live. They are descibed as sounding like the Grateful Dead if they were from Kentucky rather than California or if Jimi Hendrix and Bill Monroe were in the same band. They went defunct in the 1970s and have recently reformed. I'd be interested to hear any experiences seeing this group. ================= Yeah GC- I've seen 'em (1 time)... they were playing NPR's "Mountain Stage" radio show in Charleston WV a few years ago (my failing memory, w/o looking it up, thinks around '98-'99?) I did not see the Mountain Stage show (Sun afternoon), but, saw them the night before (Sat. nite) at a local dive called the Empty Glass, which used to be operated in downtown Chas'ton by one the Mountain Stage house band's guitarists- Michael Lipton. ...Goose Creek at the Empty Glass, a lil' hole-in-the-wall which, if packed, might hold 100-150 people. Indeed, the proper setting fer the Goose. Classic hillbilly-acid-rock. Check out their albums... I highly recommend "Words Of Earnest". Also saw there (at the Empty Glass), in 1992- Jorma and Michael Falzarano (duo) do some classic Hot Tuna/Jorma jams. One of the best shows i've seen. Also, have seen at Mountain Stage in Charleston- 1992- Bruce Hornsby (Bruce came out and chatted with us for 15 or 20 mins. after the show, asking how the Dead were arrangign certain songs/harmonies, etc., now that he was not touring with them... he is one first-class dude). 1991- REM. they played only two or three shows in '91... this was one of them. Various late 80's-early 90's shows at the Music In The Mountains bluegrass fest (Summersville WV)- Bill Monroe, JD Crowe, Ralph Stanley, Jim & Jesse McReynolds, Ricky Skaggs, Osborne Brothers, Lou Reid & Carolina, Chubby Wise, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Eddie Adcock, Country Gentlemen, etc...

Just saw 3piece Hot Tuna acoustic in Tucson last week. What a truly amazing experience. If you've never seen them do yourself a favor and GO SEE THEM!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEACE, BRIAN LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AT http://www.myspace.com/bdog1963

The opening act for the second time I saw Ronnie Montrose was a band called PoDunk (sp?). They went all over the place with wonderful sounds. If you ever get the chance to catch them, expect to have you mind blown. Another cool act you should see when possible is WireTrain. They opened for Dylan and were out of this world. . UncleDead.

Triple bill was the Allman Bros, Littlefeat, and the Radiators at the old Poplar Creek outdoor theater in 1990, one of the last shows I saw at this fine venue.

Paul Simon never disappoints.

Love the Prine as well. Have seen him a number of times. His voice has deteriorated since he got cancer, but the songs are still great.
