    Speaking of the above referenced sandwich
    There might be better versions available out there, but if you stream/download it from Archive as I have, there is a tape splice during the first UJB and the five individual tracks don't match up exactly right, which is a real drag when you're immersing yourself in the beauty of this jam, and how they morph the songs into one another. So I took the liberty of playing with them, taking out about 5 seconds of audio around the splice so that it passes by without notice, and matching up the tracks into one amazing roughly 40 minute or so mp3.

    New! Check Archive for 4/26/71. SBD FLAC. Eight tunes of sweetness. Jerry on pedal. Guess I'll have to throw on the Dead's sets, too.Thanks PTB.

    Well, M. Fazima
    They all sort of morph though time, and that's half the fun. But you used the word significant (significance outside of a strict statistical implementation is actually subjective and context-dependent, and I shudder when considering the implications of legions of statisticians and actuaries measuring Dead songs for Significance..."Excrement! Rip that whole section out!") so I'll assume you meant substantial instead. First, there's the glaringly obvious ones where Bob covers Pig (Lovelight, Good Lovin') and then Dancin' In the Streets (compare 60's versions with 78-on versions) and one of the biggest is Friend Of The Devil which transforms from a lively, up-tempo country ditty in the early 70's to an almost lethargic heroin dirge by the end of the decade.

    I've been into the Dead for a long time, but I'm sort of just now opening up my mind to the live stuff. Took me awhile to be able to sit through a 20 minute jam I guess, but I'm there, and now I'm loving me some 30 minute dark stars, and some of the really cool song sandwiches. Which (finally) brings me to my question: I'm freaking out over the Pauley Pavilion show with the Playing>UJB>Morning Dew>UJB>Playing sandwich (one of the most amazing jams/song medleys I've ever heard), and I'm noticing how different, much slower and soulful this Morning Dew is than an earlier version I have. Are there other songs that they significantly changed their arrangement of over the years that I should be on the lookout for?

"In the Court of the Crimson King," "In the Wake of Poseidon," "Lizard," and "Red." Might even throw in "EleKtrik: Live in Japan" for good measure.

Storybook A covers album. Unfortunately contains the Suzanne Vega hit "Luka." Unfortunate not because I dislike the song, but because even hearing the name tends to start my interior jukebox with the tune and it could take days to get it out of my head. Happening right now, by the way.

The Carpenter I would have liked a little less cello and a little more banjo (no need to "pretty up" these songs IMO). Still an enjoyable listen, however.

Fantasy The Complete Recordings is Remastered and Resquenced to the original recording of July 1973. If you already own anyof the Keystone releases you MUST have this one. Absolutly unbeleivable sound. This was recorded 39 years ago....Get a copy for yourself, you will be very happy with it...!!!!

Rooster Rag. Again. Truly an amazing disc! Anything Robert Hunter touches these days turns to gold - but then we've always known that, haven't we?

Live in New York City (6/6/11) I saw Simon about 6 months later on this tour -- setlist was the same as the NYC concert, though the full show from this tour includes a couple of additional covers, notably a show-highlight of a "for George" rendition of "Here Comes the Sun," unfortunately missing from this release. Still pretty damn good after all these years.

Baltimore's own Jacob Panic's brand-spanking-new album, "Pop-Grass," which is available exclusively through Bandcamp.com (http://jacobpanic.bandcamp.com). If you dig modern pop songs played by a bluegrass band, check this album out; it's a steal at $10. And Jacob can pick him some wicked banjo!

Palo Alto, Stanford U. 10/10/82 Had to listen on its 30th! (Miller Aud) A Sunday. I can imagine it was awesome to be there - all those exotic trees with the dappled light, balmy temp, and Jerry lettin' 'em rip! Too much! Agreed, best show of '82.

sounds perfect in some way every time I listen to it 'bout now, in the Fall when time is warping and tightening - awhoa! 10-12-68 give it a try, listen to it again or not. Unrelenting, ferocious and "spot-on, eh?". I was really hoping that the next Dave's was going to be this or hereabouts, but what is within earshot is most definitely worthy. Go there GOGD!!!
