    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...

    Been driving around listening to the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band this weekend This band supported the Grateful Dead at the Boston Tea Party in 1969! What a wild show that must have been.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Best known for their appearance in Magical Myster Tour, where they performed the song that inspired the band name, Death Cab For Cutie. "That night Cutie called a cab (mm-mm-hmm) Baby, don't do it!"

Rectrospective Here's a pleasant surprise. Sitting at my desk, I was handed a bubble-wrapped package by someone who saw it in my mailbox. Inside, an autographed copy of this CD, out of the blue from a co-worker in Maine. Finest kind! Well I hope you understand I just had to go back To the Island

Death Cab for Cutie appears on their first album 'Gorilla', but I would I recommend the excellent 'Dog's Life' set of all the band's albums, available on Amazon for as little as $11.90. The Bonzos used to be the house band on a very anarchic children's TV show in the UK in the late 60s called 'Do Not Adjust Your Set'. This bunch of spaced out lunatics had a profound effect on the young badger. Neil Innes of course went on to become a celebrated Python (most of the Pythons appeared on DNAYS). Viv Stanshall is a lost and still much lamented genius.

Patricia Ry Cooder and Manuel Galban - late 50's Cuban fused with American pop. Mostly recorded at Egrem Studios, Habana, Cuba, 2002. This isn't going away. Manuel Galban has a new - one minus the Cooder influence - that is very tasty. He finished it shortly before passing at age 80. - Mas quajiro que la palma.

Yesterday it was 'Zeppelin's "IV" and "Physical Graffiti" followed by the 'Stones with "Let It Bleed," "Sticky Fingers," "Exile on Main Street," and "Black and Blue." What can I say? I was having...one of "those" days. Today, I'm in the mood for a little old-school hardcore: Scream's "Still Screaming & This Side Up" and Social Distortion's "Live at the Roxy." Y'know, as great a live act as Social D is, they don't stray much from the Roxy format when playing live. I saw them a year or so ago, and, aside from songs from the new album, they played that live album like it was their set list. Not that I'm complaining; it's a GREAT live album.

SiriusXM is playing a Rob Bertrando audience recording from 2/27/77: very good quality! Wonder if there's a soundboard in the vault? Nice Minglewood leads it off.

And nothing but, right now. Nice box. This era is a bit out of my comfort zone, but I'm enjoying the ride so far. But I'm posting mostly to try out the new format...

Oh, my goodness, what an amazing concert! I pre-ordered my copy almost as soon as I got the e-mail from the ZFT, and I was NOT disappointed. Not one bit! The Persuasions had an excellent opening performance for the 7:30pm show, and the Mothers utterly blew the roof off Carnegie Hall. I wish this album/record had been up for a Grammy earlier this year, 'cause it more than deserved to "bring home the gold." All you Zappa faithfuls out there, if you don't own this brilliant piece of Mothers history, buy it as soon as humanly possible! Also, has anyone picked up any of the recent Mothers/Zappa remasters? I've been trying to collect the old LPs, but almost the entire catalog is available on iTunes, and I'm kinda done with CDs (except for special releases like Dave's Picks).

Time Fades Away Actually, listened to it last night, on vinyl, since vinyl is all I have. Part of the frustration of being a Neil Young fan is that he refuses to re-release this album (there are many more parts, but this will suffice for today), one of my 6 or so favorite Neil albums. Has never been on CD. C'mon, Neil, I know you hate it, but jeez.. The avant nurses homoto? Happy Friday!

Been going back through all of Dave's Picks so far this year and marvelling at their seemless beauty. Now I'm anxious for the release of "Spring 1990: So Glad You Made It." And finding it harder and harder to resist that "Spring 1990" box set....

I have been listening to nothing but these shows, in order, for almost 2 weeks now. Absolutely blistering! The box is THE box that all future box sets will be measured against, but the music alone is awesome!
