    Live Used vinyl I just grabbed. I used to have a copy of this album, disappeared under mysterious circumstances, which is to say, I have no recollection of where it went. It definitely was a part of my "keyboard rock" period.

    Coming off 8/14 & 15/71 - Berkeley Community Theatre that rip. There's a picture of Jerry playing a Strat in Deadbase IX with a caption that says "Berkeley Community Theatre 1971". I think they mean 1972 because surely Jerry's playin' somethin' Gibson at those shows. 8/16/80 Mississippi River Festival Set 1 8/16/51 Dizzy Gillespie 8/16/52 Geri Mulligan w/ Chet Baker 8/16/57 John Coltrane "Lush Life" 8/16/59 Teddy Edwards "Sunset Eyes" 8/16/60 Eric Dolphy "Out There" 8/16/61 R.R.Kirk "We Three Kings" 8/16/80 Mississippi River Festival Set 2 I was at this show and had the best time of any I'd attended - music was pretty good, too. I believe they atoned nicely for any missteps they may have had 11 years earlier.

    Between yesterday and today, I heard, and am listening to, a pair of incredible shows.Though not perfect regarding completeness/sound quality, 8/12/72's essence is not to be denied. When the good sound is there, it's fantastic- Jerry's guitar and voice in this show are what please me most about the man. We get a Stella in the 1st set and Black Peter with a perfect break in the second. And today's show - 8/13/75 - is simply unstoppable! Last year I and a buddy were on vacation in San Francisco and he decided one morning to score some Asian food. His restaurant of choice turned out to be right around the corner from the Great American Music Hall. As we walked west along O'Farrell St., it dawned on me this was the site of the famed "Spot Check"! After we got the food, we walked back to the GAMH and I tried to see about trying to see the interior of this hallowed space. Just then someone popped out the front door. I asked him if it'd be OK to snoop a bit and he said sure. I'll not get over how small it was relative to what I'd been listening to all these years! So as I listen to Sugaree, I stand upstairs in the back and imagine the band on stage with the crowd rapt and swaying as Jerry slays 'em in the vocal outro. Cheers!

    'Details': https://store.volcoment.com/item/205967 I've never heard of this band prior to about two weeks ago, but this album blew me away. I recently joined the Volcom Entertainment Vinyl Club, where, for $40 plus shipping and handling, you get an exclusive, limited edition 45 every few months. Well, this particular gem was mixed in with my recent sign-up goodies, and I was a tad skeptical of its potential. Needless to say, my skepticism was unnecessary. Their style is somewhere between '60s-era psychedelic and '70s-era thrash metal. Side A is pretty solid, but when you get to side B, watch out! The sonic assault of those three songs--"My Big Cups," "Love Hums," and "Edge of the Apocalypse (Forever)"--will not only knock your socks off, they'll require a change of underwear! For those of you with functioning turntables, get the 12". It comes with a download, and the record itself sounds FANTASTIC. I know, I listened to it (and may have slam-danced, as well) last night. You can also score the MP3s for less than $7 from your local digital retailer, but where's the fun in that?

    In what would be her final public live performance, Janis Joplin packed Cambridge’s Harvard Stadium to the brim and beyond for a show that goes down as one of Boston’s most famous live music moments.According to an article on Harvard.edu about one of the photographers at the show, only about 10,000 people were allowed inside the stadium but the crowd of people that gathered around the stadium to get a glimpse of the show reached as high as about 40,000. Many fans even climbed the walls of the stadium to get inside! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heBezleB2HE

Since I can never seem to get around to downloading things in a timely manner, my brother has started a new tradition of grabbing all the downloads, burning them to CD, printing out the artwork and song descriptions, and bundling them for me as a Christmas present. This is a tradition I can wholeheartedly support and am hoping that it continues for years to come. Thanks, Dead.net and thanks, Jimbo...

Yeah, the Bill Grahm Civic Center may be best suited for boat shows rather than rock shows and Bobby screwed up on the third set game plan but so what? It's SF and you still had the opportunity to be there in the audience in whatever mood you particularly desired. How great is that? Here we have a few of the boys in the 39th month of another iteration of letting it roll and one has to marvel at that. If you attended, I hope you had the time of your life! Thanks for posting guys! Who else would give it to us for free? Not many! If the Mayans don't get you then the Martians will!

well, Deadicated, i'd go for 1/11/78 first. a rather enveloping jam before slithering into St. Stephen, but Charlie Miller's admirable attempts on archive.org with 1/11/79, plus a penchant for Estimated/He's Gone/Drums suggests a healthy alternative.bur after a slinky Gene Ammons and a soulful Sam Cooke, i guess '78 comes a' calling.

This weekend it was the Brian Jonestown Massacre--"The Singles Collection (1992 - 2011)" and the "We Are the Radio" mini album/EP--and the Steve Miller Band--"The Best of 1968-1973" and the 30th anniversary edition of "Fly Like an Eagle". Today it's some old school Bob Mould with Merge's deluxe re-releases of Sugar's "Copper Blue" and "File Under: Easy Listening."

A CD I put together of Jerry's studio songs, leaving out almost all those that became Dead tunes. Great for a rainy day!

Started the day off with "Dave's Picks, Vol. 5" and am currently trudging through Zepp's "Celebration Day." I must say, I'm glad I jumped on board last year with Dave's Picks, because all five of these live releases have been absolutely fantastic. Vol. 5 is no exception; it reminds me of one of the (many) reasons why I've loved the 'Dead since middle school. I love how, especially in concert, they resemble a locomotive: they can often start off slow and a little rocky, but once they pick up steam, watch out! because they're UNSTOPPABLE. I also love how, instead of rehashing their studio output like most bands (especially by today's standards), they dig deep, explore, and play around with the songs we all know so well. No one, and I mean NO ONE, can warp, manipulate, and mesh their work the way the 'Dead did. The play of "Playing in the Band" > Uncle John's Band" > "Morning Dew" > "Uncle John's Band" > "Playing in the Band" is just one example. 'Zeppelin's another band I've been a life-long fan of, but I find "Celebration Day" to be...lacking. Sure, I realize it's been 30-something years since John Bonham died and the bandmembers went their separate ways, but this double-CD live set sounds more like a really good cover band than the legends themselves. Jimmy's guitar sounds sloppy, like he's forgotten the licks and tricks that made him one of the greatest players that ever lived, and Robert's vocals are...well, Robert's vocals. His voice has, sadly, deteriorated over time, and he no longer has a voice as golden as his hair. In my opinion, the true stars of this reunion concert are John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham; they're the only members who sound like they took practice seriously. This concert's in tough company, though, when you look back to the three-disc juggernaut that is "How the West Was Won," not to mention all those perfect and near-perfect studio albums. All in all, I feel like this concert, while a fairly enjoyable nostalgia ride for those who were lucky enough to see them back when they re-wrote the rules of rock & roll, doesn't do the band's legacy much justice. I'm glad I borrowed this one from the library as opposed to spending my hard-earned dollars and cents on something I have no intentions of listening to ever again.

"Safe as Milk"; "Trout Mask Replica"; "Lick My Decals Off, Baby"; and the original version of "Bat Chain Puller" released last year by the Zappa Family Trust. Ol' Don is one of those artists whose music took time to grow on me, but I absolutely love his zany, cacophonous blues/rock ramblings. He truly is one of the underappreciated geniuses of the late '60s/'70s/'80s.

I hope ya'll don't mind, but I've renamed one of the days of the week. Instead of Wednesday, what is otherwise known as "Hump Day" is now DEADnesday, a day DEADicated to...THE 'DEAD! To honor the first-ever DEADnesday, I'll be listening to the catalog (or what I have of it) in chronological order:- S/T - Anthem of the Sun - Aoxomoxoa - Live/Dead - Workingman's Dead - American Beauty - Skulls & Roses - Europe '72 - History of the 'Dead, Vol. 1 (Bear's Choice) - Wake of the Flood - From the Mars Hotel - Europe '72, Vol. 2 - Dave's Picks, Vols. 1-4 - Spring 1990 - Dave's Picks, Vol. 5
