    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.

    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?

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."

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
