5/07/72 Bickershaw Festival Wigan, England The one with the Dark Star and Other One. Yep, it's smokin' from the git-go! I'll see if I can suck it up and listen to the Boston, '77, show later - got the place to myself. '77 might just have to wait 'til tomorrow though. The eighth's a pretty good show, too, isn't it?

After several times listening at different sound levels my opinion has gone up slightly. I don't remember which Dark Star it is, St. Louis I think, that has a jaw dropping catapult into space courtesy of Jerry. I mean, they even pause in the song for a very slivery split second after this sonic boom. The other highlight for me is The Eleven. It is blistering. Conversely, the New Speedway Boogie seems like a tacked-on after-thought. I guess the purpose of this release is to fill in some not well-lit moment in Grateful Dead history. I accept that every output is not going to be scorching through and through.

Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA - 12/21/69

Grooving to the DP6 bonus disc and really enjoying the early rendition of "Dire Wolf." Also, this rendition of "Mason's Children" is far superior to the previous night's that's featured on the main release. I can't recall exactly when 'Workingman's Dead' was released, but I like how the song still felt new at the time, how it had to build up steam before the band could really rip into it. Speaking of DP6 proper, I was a tad disappointed in the 12/20/69 performance of "Dark Star." It was sonically intriguing but felt less ambitious than other performances. Not to say it was "bad," per se, but the band seemed hesitant to really explore the perennial jam session. "St. Stephen" and "The Eleven" that followed, however, were lightning-hot, and that 35-plus min. "Turn on Your Lovelight" burned the house down. All-in-all, another great show to love and cherish! Also, as a side note, when I ripped the CDs to iTunes, I put the Fillmore show in the proper order. No need to interrupt the jams when you don't have to change CDs!

Well, sort of. Right now, the 2013 bonus disc. I truly do love this mix of Pigpen with the first glimmers of that explosion of incredible songwriting that starts around this time. May 77 box ordered. Ain't life grand?

Dave's Picks, Vol. 6

Just finished the Fox Theater concert, and WOW, what a show!! "Turn on Your Lovelight" > "Not Fade Away" > "Turn on Your Lovelight" might be one of the best 'Dead jams I've heard in...well...EVER! The "Dark Star" > "St. Stephen" > "Mason's Children" jam set is also a booty-shaker; it was all I could do to keep from dancing out of my cubicle! And "And We Bid You Goodnight" was the utmost perfect way to end that show--bring it in slow and steady, rock 'em 'til their socks fall off, then lay them down gently to sleep. Quite possibly the best of Dave's Picks so far!

I'm maybe halfway through the show from July 7, '89, and it's a pretty solid piece. Started off slowly and a little shaky, but it's certainly picked up steam after the fantastic jam at the end of "Let It Grow." Sadly, I found this show's renditions of "Ramble on Rose" and "Box of Rain" rather weak an uninspired; totally digging the "Scarlet Begonias" > "Fire on the Mountain" jam, though. Perhaps this is some of that '80s inconsistency that many have commented about in the past.

Cinco de mayo '77

In honor of the forth-coming May '77 box, thought I'd try something a little different. Oh, my. I've been listening only to '69 & '72 and I'm finding this quite odd. But inna good way. Things have slowed down so much it's mind boggling!!! La esposa and I are going to a new restaurant, Mission Taqueria, featuring a menu loosely based on that of the culinary styles found in the Mission District, S.F. Promises to be riquisimo! Happy Cinco de mayo!

Think I'll throw Peggy Lee's "Black Coffee" into the grinder during intermission (5/04/53). Feliz pre-cinco de mayo!

Lyrics to My Sisters And Brothers : I wanna say to my sisters and my brothers Keep the faith, When the storm flies and the wind blows Go on at a steady pace, When the battle is fought and the victory is won We call all shout together, "We have overcome!" We'll talk to the Father and the Son When we make it to the Promised Land. Chorus: Walk together little children, You don't ever have to worry, Through this world of trouble We gotta love one another, Let's take our fellow man by the hand Try to help him to understand We will all be together for ever and ever When we make it to the promised land. Our Bible reads, "Thou shall not be afraid Of the terror by night Nor the arrow that flies by day, Nor for the pestilence That walketh in the darkness, Nor for the destruction That waiteth in the noonday hour." Chorus This world is not our own, We're only passing through, Our treasure's all laid up Way beyond the blue, Let's do the very best that we can While we're traveling through this land We can all be together, Shakin' our hair, When we make it the Promised Land. Children, we can Make it to the Promised Land, (repeat a bunch of times) We can all be together For ever and ever When we make it to the Promised Land.

The Grifter's Hymnal This album is real good. If I was going to name a probable guest star on a RWH album, Ringo Starr probably would not have made the list. If I was going to name a songwriter that he might cover, Richard Starkey would not have made my list either. But "Coochy Coochy" is there with Ringo singing and playing, and somehow it all still fits. Not from "Coochy Coochy": And sure I drank a lot of gin and tonic But I never threw away my Panasonic I kept that turntable through my divorce Playing Neil Young and Crazy Horse Drunk out of my mind singing Tonight’s The Night It was as lethal on vinyl as China White

I've recently been listening to a site called radioio dot com / channels / dead. All Dead, all the time, with some commercials. They go real deep into the good stuff. Haven't been disappointed with it at all since I stumbled into it last week. But, you have to refresh if you want to see what you just heard. Check it out, it's a winner.

Iannis Xenakis

The Mallett Brothers Band

Low Down So here's a little unabashed hometown boosterism, sort of. Check these guys out if you like Americana Rock (a little rock when you twang, a little twang when you rock). Well worth the listen, well worth the purchase. The Mallett Brothers are based in Portland, ME, which is not my hometown. The two Malletts in the band are sons of David Mallett, a folk singer who's been toiling in semi-obscurity for getting close to 40 years -- his closest brush with fame was probably as the songwriter of "The Garden Song," covered by many and a minor hit for John Denver some decades back. David IS from my little town of birth nestled in the backwoods of Maine. Hey excellent news about the Jerry release. I'm a little concerned that the website doesn't appear to be close to operational (a front page and a link to a sparsely-stocked store is not much to go on), but we have some hope!

Definitive '77 Show?

There are obviously so many great live shows, but I personally feel like Live/Dead kind of best represents their late 60's sound, and Europe '72 (once I went and got the original tracks for about of it, those which were sped up so much on the offical release they sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks play the Dead) is just the best you can do to represent the 72-72 era. But I know '77 is thought of as another great year, and all I have so far is a rather underwhelming (In my opinion) show from 4-30 (Download Series, Vol. 1). What would anyone suggest as THE one, single show to have from '77, official release or otherwise? I tend to lean toward the officials only because the sound quality tends to be slightly better than the stuff available on Archive.

Definitively whelmed

Free: 10-29-77 The Dead in '77 had a lot to do with raging, right? Get the recent Charlie Miller Aud - they were all the way on this night. (It was a Saturday) Dick's Picks 15. 9-03-77 After being "unable" to play for a spell, they bust out big time - Jerry is en fuego!!! My faves are 1/2 Step, Music, Loser, Estimated>Eyes... There's a radio broadcast out there with Jerry way more front-and-center than here - this is the connoisseur's version. (It, too, was a Sat) Dick's picks 29, 5-19 & 21-77. The first show has an electrifying Sugaree as well as a tremendous second set. The second show has Scarlet >Fire and is probably a hair better overall. (Thurs. & Sat.) AND there are three Winterland runs to be had via the Archive and Dead.net - for purchase, downloads and vines. Suerte, suerte.

Thanks, you've definitely given me some homework! So, do you think the "Great" 5-8-77 Barton Hall show is overrated, or great but there are better? I noticed you didn't mention it. I DLed it yesterday but haven't listened to it yet.

5/8/77

got that in my car stereo just finished DPv34 sitting here at my desk

Is it just me?

Or could they have picked better versions of a lot of the songs on Reckoning? I have a bunch of stuff from that Warfield run and Jerry's voice sound much better on the unofficial stuff. Also I hate how loud they mixed the crowd on that album.

The Who

Quadrophenia (Deluxe) I've never seen the Who, just got tix to see them in November performing Quadrophenia. The "deluxe" part is Pete Townshend's demos of the songs on the album. His demos sound better than a lot of bands' final products...

Dozin' at the Nick

The big release of '90's shows inspired me to dust off Dozin. I've had if for a long time but never got that into it. It never ceases to amaze me how I can listen to a dead show many times and not find it very interesting and then all of sudden, the mood is right or something, and it will blow me away. They certainly were hot in the fall of '90 if the music captured on Dozin' is any indication. I also pulled out my copy of Without a Net, which was released in '90. Anybody know when that material was recorded???
