    Quadrophenia (Deluxe) I've never seen the Who, just got tix to see them in November performing Quadrophenia. The "deluxe" part is Pete Townshend's demos of the songs on the album. His demos sound better than a lot of bands' final products...

    Been driving around listening to the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band this weekend This band supported the Grateful Dead at the Boston Tea Party in 1969! What a wild show that must have been.

    Or could they have picked better versions of a lot of the songs on Reckoning? I have a bunch of stuff from that Warfield run and Jerry's voice sound much better on the unofficial stuff. Also I hate how loud they mixed the crowd on that album.

    Thanks, you've definitely given me some homework! So, do you think the "Great" 5-8-77 Barton Hall show is overrated, or great but there are better? I noticed you didn't mention it. I DLed it yesterday but haven't listened to it yet.

    Free: 10-29-77 The Dead in '77 had a lot to do with raging, right? Get the recent Charlie Miller Aud - they were all the way on this night. (It was a Saturday) Dick's Picks 15. 9-03-77 After being "unable" to play for a spell, they bust out big time - Jerry is en fuego!!! My faves are 1/2 Step, Music, Loser, Estimated>Eyes... There's a radio broadcast out there with Jerry way more front-and-center than here - this is the connoisseur's version. (It, too, was a Sat) Dick's picks 29, 5-19 & 21-77. The first show has an electrifying Sugaree as well as a tremendous second set. The second show has Scarlet >Fire and is probably a hair better overall. (Thurs. & Sat.) AND there are three Winterland runs to be had via the Archive and Dead.net - for purchase, downloads and vines. Suerte, suerte.

    Definitive '77 Show?
    There are obviously so many great live shows, but I personally feel like Live/Dead kind of best represents their late 60's sound, and Europe '72 (once I went and got the original tracks for about of it, those which were sped up so much on the offical release they sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks play the Dead) is just the best you can do to represent the 72-72 era. But I know '77 is thought of as another great year, and all I have so far is a rather underwhelming (In my opinion) show from 4-30 (Download Series, Vol. 1). What would anyone suggest as THE one, single show to have from '77, official release or otherwise? I tend to lean toward the officials only because the sound quality tends to be slightly better than the stuff available on Archive.

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!

Same goes for Garcia and Ace and Wake and Mars Hotel.

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.
