    Speaking of the above referenced sandwich
    There might be better versions available out there, but if you stream/download it from Archive as I have, there is a tape splice during the first UJB and the five individual tracks don't match up exactly right, which is a real drag when you're immersing yourself in the beauty of this jam, and how they morph the songs into one another. So I took the liberty of playing with them, taking out about 5 seconds of audio around the splice so that it passes by without notice, and matching up the tracks into one amazing roughly 40 minute or so mp3.

    Well, M. Fazima
    They all sort of morph though time, and that's half the fun. But you used the word significant (significance outside of a strict statistical implementation is actually subjective and context-dependent, and I shudder when considering the implications of legions of statisticians and actuaries measuring Dead songs for Significance..."Excrement! Rip that whole section out!") so I'll assume you meant substantial instead. First, there's the glaringly obvious ones where Bob covers Pig (Lovelight, Good Lovin') and then Dancin' In the Streets (compare 60's versions with 78-on versions) and one of the biggest is Friend Of The Devil which transforms from a lively, up-tempo country ditty in the early 70's to an almost lethargic heroin dirge by the end of the decade.

    Need some help from more experienced 'Heads
    I've been into the Dead for a long time, but I'm sort of just now opening up my mind to the live stuff. Took me awhile to be able to sit through a 20 minute jam I guess, but I'm there, and now I'm loving me some 30 minute dark stars, and some of the really cool song sandwiches. Which (finally) brings me to my question: I'm freaking out over the Pauley Pavilion show with the Playing>UJB>Morning Dew>UJB>Playing sandwich (one of the most amazing jams/song medleys I've ever heard), and I'm noticing how different, much slower and soulful this Morning Dew is than an earlier version I have. Are there other songs that they significantly changed their arrangement of over the years that I should be on the lookout for?

Been in the mood for some progressive rock since Friday morning. OHO is actually based in Baltimore, MD, and has been around since the '70s. They have been called "the American answer to Pink Floyd," though I'm not so sure that aptly describes their music. They have a heavy Celtic folk influence to their sound backed with powerful, haunting female vocals. Check 'em out on CD Baby.

Not sure how many of you--if any--are familiar with the music of Daniel Higgs (e.g.: Lungfish, Skull Defekts), but I recently scored a copy of the limited edition LP "The Godward Way." Higgs's solo work harkens back to early music--pre-music industry music--and is probably hard on the casual music listener, but his work is just so...PROLIFIC. "The Godward Way" is a 24-minute "jam" on the long-neck banjo and mouth harp with somew chanting/singing thrown in for good measure. And, as an added bonus, the LP came with a CD copy for easy portability. I have several of Higgs's solo records, and, if you're interested in jumping into that realm, I highly suggest starting with "Say God" of "Beyond & Between." They're less abrasive than such records as "Atomic Yggdrasil Tarot" or "Clairaudience Fellowship."

Found this to be the highlight show of the Spring '77 box. They are all close though. The band is in the same groove each of these five nights and it just seems to be the venue and crowd that are changing it up. These CD sleeves are very nice and would have made the E72 box far, far, better without adding much in the way if extra cost. They would have easily fit in the trunk, too!

Man, I haven't sat down to listen to the Ramones in what feels like ages, and it's amazing how one can forget how incredibly amazing a band truly is/was. I started listening while driving to work, and my one-year-old was squealing and dancing in her carseat. It does a poppa proud to see his little one love his favorite bands, too!

Giving "New Moon," the new Men album, a try. It was on my Amazon recommendations list, and I have no idea why. It's mildly terrible. That's about as well as I can summarize whatever it is I'm listening to.
