    yeah, Prince Far-I was mighty.and the On-U Sound guys are excellent. a good friend of mine handles all their artists for release in Japan. many a classic story too about Lee Perry arriving in Narita and immediately wanting to smoke a spliff; he simply doesn't recognise that it's illegal. to him it's a normal plant (i'm with ya there Scratch...). spent the entire time traveling with him from the airport into Tokyo with him asking every ten minutes or so, "can i smoke now?" "no, Perry-san, absolutely NOT!". he's like a big kid!

    Dubbing it
    ..thanks for the reminder Deadicated...I have not had a roots session for quite some time (too many dang Grateful Dead releases to listen to ;-) ). I lost a lot of roots gems on a non backed up hard disc a while back and my vinyl is scattered around the globe. A lot can be recovered through the maze of blog sites but it takes so much time. Don Drummond is a barely recognised genius. If he had been playing jazz in New York at that time he might have been a star...I imagine him as a sideman for Miles...as it was his life disintegrated into a nightmare. The great Rico Rodriguez kept the trombone tradition going though. ahh yes..those heavy heavy roots and dub shows in London in the 70s and the chance to see Sly and Robbie almost every week. Prince Far-I was the hardest and heaviest..

    dub me dead
    hey Deadicated!yes, i'm a massive fan of dub and reggae, especially artists like King Tubby, Augustus Pablo, The Congos, Yabby You, Scientist, Prince Jammy, I-Roy, Burning Spear, Horace Andy, Lee Perry, Mad Professor etc. and yes, that Studio One box set is fantastic! I remember when Soul Jazz used to a have a little record store in the old Spitalfields Market in London (before they gutted the soul out of the Market and turned it into a faceless mall with a coupla stalls). saw many a fine show in London, £5.00 for Augustus Pablo; those were the days!! and of course those deep bass vibrations of the sound systems we used to get in Brixton, just down the road from me. fine weed, fine rum and fine riddims indeed. Cornell Campbell is great. you might want to check out the "I Shall Not Remove 1975-80" release on the excellent Blood & Fire label - http://www.bloodandfire.co.uk/ They mainly do CDs now but they still do limited pressings on vinyl which are mastered by Moritz Von Oswald from Rhythm & Sound/Basic Channel fame. Anytime you want recommendations or info on releases, old or new, then drop me a message, man.

    I was on a mission to find hardware in our basement to affix a gauntlet of sorts to stymey our dog Guinness from escaping when I came across crateloads of tapes.Grateful Dead made up a good number of them, but I was a taping fool when I got into reggae so I decided I'd set up my cassette deck and tackle the mountain of music before me. This music will never see the light of day on CD. What I'm listening to is a tape comprised of Studio One 12" from the late '70's and early '80's. Sir Clement Dodd was a Jamaican producer who recorded just about everybody in JA who was a quality performer. There's a newly remastered package that includes a compilation CD, three hour DVD and 100 page book called the Studio One Story that I recommend highly. It's on the Soul Jazz label The names on the tape sleeve for the tape I'm listening to don't reveal who fronted the fabulous stable of Studio One musicians, but I think I can come up with a few: Heavenless - is an instrumental that features the incredible Don Drummond on trombone. What a riddim'! I can't remember the next, but then there are three by Cornell Campbell - Conversation, Queen of the Minstrel & What Kind of World. He sounds like a reggae version of Curtis Mayfield. The flip side of the tape has Alton Ellis and Sugar Minott among others. All feature tasteful dub effects and fine instrumentation. Needless to say, when I started searching through the basement "archive" this was one of the tapes I had to find. The date on the tape is 2/07/88. Is there anybody else out there who listens to this stuff? By the way, I'm extremely stoked about the next Dave's Picks - hope you are too!

    Europe '72 - Is This Fast??
    Indeed. E72 was speeded up a little, apparently (I read somewhere) in order to fit all the songs on a double LP.

    Europe '72 - Is This Fast??
    FINALLY just picked up the Europe 72 stuff. Not the entire box set, but Volume 1 and 2. Great, great stuff. But one thing is jumping out at me, and I didn't see it mentioned anywhere else online. Does Vol. 1 play fast? Especially on the Morning Dew, that's the highest pitch I've ever heard of Jerry's voice, and other stuff here and there, the harmonies on He's Gone, it just sounds like it's played on a record player too fast and everything's a little higher pitched than usual. Has anyone ever noticed this or heard of it being an issue?

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.

Living the Blues Refried Boogie (Parts 1 & 2) Whoa! Haven't listened to this in 35-40 years! Found it used at Amoeba Records. As I'm listening I can hear it could be the blueprint for the ABB's "You Don't Love Me" - or vice versa. Awesome and wonderful excess!!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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...

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???
