    E72 vs. May77 'Bertha'/Megadeth super collider
    I listened to 4/21/72 Bremen off E72 today and have to say it is not the best show off the set. There are at least two start and stops on two songs, the linear notes blame Bob for forgetting the words, whatever, since the show was for a Rock and Roll German TV show and their time was limited there they play like its their debut album all over again> like Speedy Gonzalez>>F>A>S>T>>> The Bertha sounds like it belongs on the Grateful Dead Warner Debut (e c h o0O) compared to the Bertha I heard yesterday from 2 disc Chicago show off May '77, which was refreshingly slow... Anyway the new Megadeth has some great Mustaine and Broddick solos, love the new album Super Collider. Check it out if you haven't already.

    More Frank Black (Solo & with the Catholics)
    eBay is either my friend or my enemy. Over the last few days, I've bid on and won Frank Black's first solo album ("Frank Black"), his third solo album ("The Cult of Ray"), his fourth solo album ("Honeycomb"), his fifth solo album ("Fast Man Raider Man"), and his first three albums with the Catholics ("Frank Black and the Catholics," "Pistolero," and "Dog in the Sand"). Each and every one of these albums I haven't listened to in probably 5 years or more; I was laid up at home for a few weeks after a double surgery and had nothing better to do than watch TV, DVDs, and work on my CD collection. All of the above mentioned albums (and more) were purchased during that time. Frank Black's first solo album is rather similar to the last Pixies album, "Tromp le Monde," in style and sound, but the following two albums that preceded his time with the Catholics were noticeably different. Solo album #2, "Teenager of the Year," is by far my favorite of his solo outings and is packed with excellent tunes. "The Cult of Ray" has some very "Teenager of the Year"-ish songs and some very "Frank Black"-ish songs, and, as a result, is hit and miss. The hits, though, are GOOD. As he wrote, recorded, and toured with the Catholics, Frank Black ventured away from alternative rock and more and more into alternative country, though he stayed closer to his rock roots throughout. His fourth and fifth solo albums ("Honeycomb" and "Fast Man Raider Man," respectively) dabbled almost directly in country music while remaining distinctly Frank Black. They're good, but Frank just doesn't have the right voice to sell country records. It's also around this time he recorded a lot in Nashville with Reid Paley, with whom he recently released an album titled, ironically enough, "Paley & Francis." Don't have this one yet, but it's on the shopping list. In the meantime, I need to complete my FB&tCs collection, which consists of the following albums: "Black Letter Days," "The Devil's Workshop," and the vinyl edition of "Live at Melkweg." I also need one more solo FB record, "Christmass," and two more Black Francis albums: "Svn Fngrs" and "Nonstoperotik." Hope everybody had a safe and fun Independence Day weekend!

As you ramble through your sorrow Seems like everything come out wrong I'm living in yesterday's tomorrows I know something's helping me along I'll take a melody and see what I can do about it. I'll take a simple C and G and feel brand now about it. I understand why the old fisherman sail along, sail along, sail along. sail along, sail along, someday he'll be gone I hear you talking about your troubles Everybody's got their troubles too You can make them burst like bubbles If you know just what to do You know I've been called a dreamer Dreams that never come true But I've been called so many things before Tell you what I'm gonna do I'll take a melody and see what I can do about it. I'll take a simple C and G and feel brand now about it.

    My 1st of a hundred or more California shows. Is one of my all time favorites because the scene was still just heads for the most part. 84 started the Gilled cheese movement. Had the big chunk of as we called it Reagan cheese so we turned it into a money maker. Funny cause people called us crazy for selling food in the parking lot of sand

    One True Vine Kind of keeping in the Wilco vein, with Jeff Tweedy a very big part of this record. Speaking of, the Bobby sit-ins with Wilco on his leg of the AmericanaramA tour have made me really wish I'd been there. And the Bobby sit-ins with My Morning Jacket. And the other Bob on the tour seems to be keeping to himself, not exactly a shock I guess.

    "Party at Ground Zero" If you've been watching the news at anytime in the last decade, this song seems almost TOO appropriate....

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
