1/22/78 Grateful Dead

Just started set 2, via the archive. The version I'm listening to is a SBD/AUD composite, but its such a great show that I didn't try to fine a full SBD to listen to! I suggest giving it a listen.

Kevin Gordon

Gloryland Not new, but new to me -- the artist, that is. Checking him out in advance of seeing him open for Todd Snider in a few weeks. What I'm hearing from the album reminds me at times of James McMurtry, of Todd Snider, of Dave Alvin, of Steve Earle. Roosty rocking, great lyrics. The album was recorded in 2009, mixed/mastered in 2010, the copyright says 2012. What took so long? In the DIY land of what passes for today's music business (see this article by David Lowery, long but worth the time: http://thetrichordist.wordpress.com/2012/04/15/meet-the-new-boss-worse-… If you need a reason to support your favorite artists with your dollars, this should drive home the why of it), it probably took that long for Gordon to be able to afford to release the album. And in true DIY fashion, when you order the CD from his website, Gordon signs it for you, personalized if you wish. Not just once, mind you: signed the digipak, the CD itself, and an insert. Nice. And to echo Guitarman: RIP Doc Watson.

R.I.P. I'm going back and listening to his old stuff, a great guitarist and was probably an influence on Jerry. Amazing bluegrass picker.

The Lyceum 4

The 23rd is a revelation. Own this or the odds may never be in your favor!The 24th is a struggle - Jerry's darn g-string gives him fits repeatedly! But there are plenty of shining moments, including those that wound up on Europe '72. The 25th is back to position "A". I'm listening to it now and, yes, the Feelin' Groovy is as good as it gets. How can this still be so amazing after 40 years? The 26th. We know this one. It knows us. Thank you, powers that be. And thank you to my fam for allowing me the spac e to listen to all this magic. Paz.

DaP 2

Despite the dearth of jams, and despite the WOS vocals that sometimes seem to slice right through my head (I've got a fair amount of higher-frequency hearing loss; you'd think that these sibilant vox would help compensate for my hearing deficiencies, but no, instead they sometimes edge over into white noise territory for me-- a little unpleasant), I'm very much enjoying this one.

Sirius XM, just caught the tail end of 4/28/71, Fillmore East. St Stephen > NFA > GDTRFB > NFA Going Down the Road features an additional verse: I'm going where those chilly winds don't blow I'm going where those chilly winds don't blow Going where those chilly winds don't blow Don't want to be treated this way. The first time I heard this, I thought that Jerry was singing "I'm going where those shitty winds don't blow." And maybe he was. But probably not.

1967

Beatles -- Magical Mystery Tour. Not exactly a favorite Beatles album, but I've always loved the non-album singles that Capitol included on the US (now the "standard") LP version of MMT. Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever was the first record that I ever bought, it's still one of the best double A-side singles that I've ever heard. I ran into a "40 best albums released in 1967" list just a little bit ago. I didn't start buying albums until 1969 (too young, no money), so it was a little surprising to me that I had a goodly number of these sitting on my shelf, most in vinyl, and most in vinyl AND CD. A pretty good year, I think: Grateful Dead -- Grateful Dead Beatles -- Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Magical Mystery Tour Jimi Hendrix Experience -- Are You Experienced? Axis: Bold As Love Doors -- The Doors Strange Days Rolling Stones -- Between the Buttons Jefferson Airplane -- Surrealistic Pillow After Bathing at Baxter's Moby Grape -- Moby Grape Big Brother and the Holding Company -- Big Brother and the Holding Company Pink Floyd -- Piper at the Gates of Dawn Byrds -- Younger Than Yesterday Aretha Franklin -- I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You Velvet Underground -- VU and Nico Cream -- Disraeli Gears Arlo Guthrie -- Alice's Restaurant Moody Blues -- Days of Future Passed Bob Dylan -- John Wesley Harding The Who -- The Who Sell Out Donovan -- Mellow Yellow Otis Redding and Carla Thomas -- King and Queen (and by the way, RIP "Duck" Dunn) Buffalo Springfield Again

12/14/71 In such fine sound! Love this show and the next night, too. In fact the whole bloomin' month would make an extraordinary boxed set - 11 shows counting New Year's Eve.I do wonder what '71 surprise is in store ...? I've got a T-shirt with the Hill Aud poster on it - please, uncle David, bring us the un-cherry-picked bounty from Dec '71 - you know it's a can't lose!

The Terror

I've really gotten into the Flaming Lips this year, and their latest release, "The Terror," is my pick for album of the year. A couple years ago they did a cover of Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon," and "The Terror" is like their own version of what TDSotM was all about. If you're a Lips fan (or if you're not), I highly recommend giving "The Terror" is listen. Actually, give it a few listens; it gets better every time you hear it.

Top Ten for 2013

I like to do a Top Ten list every year and these are mine for 2013. Not doing it as a critic saying they are the best, rather it is what I enjoyed and found myself listening to most. In no real order: 1 Tedeschi Trucks Band - Made Up Mind 2 Ry Cooder - Live in San Francisco 3 Pat Metheny - /Tap 4 Bill Frisell - Big Sur 5 Jonathan Wilson - Fanfare 6 Bombino - Nomad 7 Dawes - Stories Never End 8 Honey Island Swamp Band - Cane Sugar 9 Tommy Malone - Natural Born Days 10 Vince Gill and Paul Franklin - Bakersfield Honorable mention: Bob Dylan - Another Self Portrait Red Baraat - Shruggy Ji & Big Talk Dumpstaphunk - Dirty Word And the best live show I saw...BY FAR...was Tedeschi Trucks Band at the Joy Theater

I'll second that...

I was also fortunate enough to get to experience Tedeschi Trucks Band at the Overture Center this autumn. They played their hearts out for a very grateful, gray-haired audience. Angel from Montgomery > Sugaree > AFM was definitely a standout. I agree with the "best live show" sentiment.

Boston

12/30/69 A perennial fave - jeez, this show has everything I love about the Dead from this year. Maybe, just maybe, this is one of the ones we'll see inna Dave's Pick next year. If you haven't yet heard this precious jewel one, please, don't deprive yourself any longer.

Dick's Pick 3 and ruminations......

I downloaded Dick's Pick Number 3 a couple nights ago. Needless to say, I thoroughly have enjoyed it. It's hard to go wrong with anything from 1977. I've had the "To Terrapin" concert recorded on May 28th for a while. It's interesting to listen to one show that is only six days earlier and it sounds quite a bit different. I'm not that obsessed with sound quality. I'm old enough to remember the latter days of vinyl. In the early 70's records were thick and they were high quality. By the time I was a kid in the late 70's and early 80's the records were thin and they skipped constantly. I remember a copy of the Rolling Stones "Some Girls" that skipped. I do think vinyl has a warm feel to it though but I hated having to go back to the record store all the time because the album skipped. I also remember putting a penny on the needle to try to "groove" the record. I'm becoming a fan of gdradio.net. My subscription to XM Radio has lapsed. I think gdradio does a great job of mixing it up. What else have I been listening too? The Rolling Stones "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out" live from 1969. I also went on a Chris Cornell kick listening to a lot of Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, and Audioslave. Was the Seattle grunge sound the last great burst for rock music? I don't know. I think some of Cornell's stuff ranks up there with all the other classic bands that happened to be lucky enough to be born earlier in time. I love the version of "Dancing in the Streets" on DP #3. Estimated Prophet and Eyes of the World are also stellar. I recently listened to one of the concerts I attended in person on the Archive. It made me realize how fast time goes. At 46 I'm neither old nor young. I am kind of in a strange middle ground. My back lets me know I'm not getting any younger. I am interested in some of the Europe '72 recordings. I have "100 Year Hall" and I think it kicks butt. Would love to hear from my old friend Matt J if he ever surfs these boards. He took me to my first show and was a "real deadhead". Peace.

Linkin Park "Somewhere I

Linkin Park "Somewhere I Belong" (When this began) I had nothing to say And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me (I was confused) And I let it all out to find That I’m not the only person with these things in mind (Inside of me) But all that they can see the words revealed Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel (Nothing to lose) Just stuck, hollow and alone And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own [Chorus] I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long (Erase all the pain till it’s gone) I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along Somewhere I belong And I’ve got nothing to say I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face (I was confused) Looking everywhere only to find That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind (So what am I) What do I have but negativity ’Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me (Nothing to lose) Nothing to gain, hollow and alone And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own [Repeat Chorus] I will never know myself until I do this on my own And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed I will never be anything till I break away from me I will break away, I'll find myself today [Repeat Chorus] I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong Somewhere I belong

3/01/69 45 years to the day. Hey Dead community why aren't we clamoring for the late January, '69, Avalon run? Isn't it where the eleven and lovelight from Live Dead come from? You can do it!!! Break out your dusty Fillmore box and let it rip. This be the puddin'.
