2012 30 Days of Dead
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!
Jazz, R& B & Dead
Gene Ammons "Funky" 1/11/57
Sam Cooke "Harlem Square" 1/11/63
Dead 1/11/78 or 1/11/79 Haven't decided yet. Whad'ya think?
all will be concealed
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.
gogd 6/15/92 Giant's Stadium
Knocking on Heaven's Door
This show which Steve Miller added his oft-used (for 92) locomotive whistle during Drums>Space really blows me over after So Many Roads and before this Dylan cover.
Brian, Steve, and Bob
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."
studio Jerry
A CD I put together of Jerry's studio songs, leaving out almost all those that became Dead tunes. Great for a rainy day!

Dead Zeppelin
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.
Here;s that date again...
Charlie Christian "Genious of Electric Guitar" 2/07/40
Kenny Clarke "Telefunken Blues" 2/07/55
John Coltrane "Soultrane" & Red Garland "It's A Blue World" 2/07/58 Rudy @ the controls
Hank Mobley "Soul Station" 2/07/60 RVG again
There's more but I think this will suffice elegantly.
Happy two months 'til the first show of Europe '72!.
Richard Thompson
Electric
Three of the best songs got relegated to the bonus disc. What's up with that?
Captain Beefheart
"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.
Forget Wednesday, It's DEADnesday!!
