Grateful Dead

Anal Magic & Rev. Dwight Frizzell

5/19/77 Fox Theatre Atlanta, Ga. It had been a good number of shows since they'd played Sugaree and this one - for me, anyhow - has a pair of rushes during Jerry breaks that are amazing, just amazing. Love this show!!! RIP Senor Latvala.

Encore: It's All Over Now Baby BlueNice, slightly extended, version. This and Knockin' On Heaven's Door are my Dylan/Jer faves for encores ~ the carpet, too, is moving under you ~

A May 17th Show in 2013 http://www.wmwv.com/TXR-5-17-13-SET2.mp3 I am truly grateful, xo, it feels like May 17th, on this May 18th! Love and Luck Love and Luck

5/18/72 Kongressal Munich, West Germany Great liner notes by Blair Jackson with a focus on Bill, "the young god". I'm in the midst of Playin' and, well, words are fairly inconsequential by this stage - pure pudding!!! And now for our next number ... Good Lovin'. Intermission: 5/18/59 Sonny Stitt/Oscar Peterson "Sittin' In" & Oscar Peterson "A Portrait of Frank Sinatra" Only the Lyceum left after this one ... it's going by too fast!!!

I met a woman a couple of weeks ago who had just seen Bob Mould, was raving about the show. Then Parkas4Kids does some raving of his own, seems like Bob Mould is calling me? My favorite post-Huskers albums are Copper Blue and Workbook, I should try them on this evening, take a spin around the block. It's been a few years since Mould was part of my music rotation, can't begin to understand sometimes how artists drop off my radar without any real intent involved. Too much music, too little time. But then again, I do like that John Prine album mentioned by slo as well. And I'm seeing CSN on Sunday, feeling compelled to take a trip through their catalog. I need about 4 sets of ears and a much more talented multi-tasking brain, it seems. I know, 1st-world problems, eh?

his "some humans ain't human" song written about the ole asshole from El Paso - Dubya reminded me of what a talented song writer he is. I got to see him live at the beautiful Coronado Theater in Rockford, IL. back in the late 90's. Outstanding performer; just wish I could've seen him with Bonnie Raitt.

Been on a bit of a reggae kick of late (after ODing on Bob Mould). If you're in the mood to check out/support a killer indie band, check out the Idlers from St. John's, Newfoundland, and Labrador, Canada. They have two albums out--"Corner" and "Keep Out"--that are simply DYNAMITE. Both were produced by none other than Darryl Jenifer of the Bad Brains and the White Mandingos. This ten-peice outfit is no joke--these cats can groove with the best of 'em! Check out their website, idlers.ca, or grab their tunes directly from CD Baby.
