    WHAT DEAD HEADS HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT...

    NEW HAVEN 5/5/77
    "Here is a prime example of the saying ‘the whole is greater than the sum of the parts’ … It’s called synergy and the Dead wrote the book on it.”

    BOSTON 5/7/77
    “The music they laid down brought me places I had not been before.”

    CORNELL 5/8/77
    “...the single best rock performance anywhere, anytime, by anyone.”

    “There was just some kind of magical connection this night between the band members and the band and the audience - some texture, or some type of cosmic or celestial force is in the room.”

    "This show is, was, and always will be Mecca.”

    BUFFALO 5/9/77
    "...an awesome display of the Dead’s captivating power"

    If you've been following this site for quite some time, then you will know we are often flush with hyperbole when it comes to our releases. We can't help it, really - for we, like you, are Grateful Dead fans above all else. Just like you, we've spent countless hours debating the merits of show over show, year over year. We've kept a watchful eye on your wish-lists and carefully considered how to make - excuse the cliché - your dreams come true. And once we've made our commitments, we are steadfast in our determination to conjure up those dreams fully-formed and nearly perfect. Sometimes these heights cannot be reached without physical and cosmic elements aligning, and that, dear friends, is why it has taken so long for us to bring you THE ONE and the epic shows that surrounded it. No need for even the slightest embellishment here, 5/8/77 Barton Hall, Cornell University: Ithaca, NY, has for decades, been THE resounding favorite; you've said it yourselves - the "holy grail" of Grateful Dead shows. Thanks to the passion and perseverance of Dead Heads like you, we are beyond pleased to finally be able to present this show and its brethren, the fabled four of Spring '77, in sonically pristine condition.

    Limited to 15,000 individually numbered copies, MAY 1977: GET SHOWN THE LIGHT is a collection of what is unanimously believed to be the most sought-after previously unreleased complete shows the Grateful Dead ever played. Collected, traded, and debated for decades, "the beloved Golden Trinity" of Boston, Ithaca, and Buffalo, along with their New Haven prelude, have inspired fans to "get on the bus," converted critics, and even garnered national attention (Cornell was added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry). But until now, you've never really heard them quite like this!

    The Dead is in the details... how serendipitous is it that the notorious Betty Boards were returned to the archive just in time for the 40th anniversaries of these shows? Lovingly sourced from these well-reputed recordings, we invite you to experience four utopian shows just like they happened, to "be inside the music" as engineer Betty Cantor-Jackson intended. Whether you listen to each night on its own or imbibe the whole lot at once, we suspect you'll hear why every note mattered. Much like we were, you will be hard-pressed to determine which of these fine documents - will it be the understated but nuanced New Haven, Boston's festive fantasy vibes, the monumental catharsis of Ithaca, or Buffalo’s dreamy exuberance - is truly "the best." Does it really matter? We think not.

    Due May 5th, we anticipate that this revelatory boxed set will sell out. Your best bet is to pre-order it now, then sit back, relax, and enjoy all the exclusive content we'll be rolling out over the next few weeks.

    Looking for something a little more byte-sized? The collection will also be available for HD digital download in FLAC and ALAC, exclusively at dead.net, on release day.

    Comes a time.....
    At some point in the future...When we will have a Fully Normanized anniversary show almost every day of the year. Is that asking too much? March through May are already stacking up pretty good with Eur '72, May '77, and Spring '90. Guess it's time for that Fall '91 Box. Spun 5-6-81 this past weekend. Dick got it right with that one. Edit: notice that I didn't infringe on the patented 4-dots.... Oh, wait....

    Re: The Jam After Alligator, Just Mind Blowing Stuff..
    Ha.. You had me at Alligator, but created quite the visual with the mind blowing jam beyond. Thanks Sixtus. Oh.. and JeffSmith, the KF May 77 and DSAD lead was not lost on me.. Back when we collectively decided to break into the vault and pull together a gang of thugs to steal back the hostaged Betty Boards.. we were going to release our own shows and buy an Island to live out our days in bliss. If my memory serves, KeithFan was going to be curator of the vault and make the picks. Now that we have all the Betty's.. where did we leave off on that project? There were some real wrenches tossed into the equation I recall.. most notably from jrf who insisted it be an island with world class skiing. That basically leaves New Zealand as the obvious choice. Perhaps a coup would be easier than buying that island outright.. details, oh bother.

    Steering Toward Greatness
    I'd like to offer to steer any able-and-enthusiastic minds to a particular show I unearthed over the weekend. For some reason I was delving back into 1970. I found the following show, which includes one of the most fantastic jams I have ever heard them pull off, which is probably saying a lot. Have a listen to what happens for pretty much the full-14 minutes of the jam after Alligator. Just totally mind blowing stuff: https://archive.org/details/gd1970-06-06.sbd.miller.86951.sbeok.flac16/… The Dancin' in the Street is very good too, with a bit of a 'tighten up' jam in there. The Lovelight is also quite unique, straying from the main riff for a lot of the jamming (which I haven't heard them do too often). It is a worthy show. For those looking for a slight diversion, I IMPLORE a listen to this one little segment, if nothing else. Sixtus

    GSTL's other Brothers and Sisters
    Seems like several incarnations ago we were discussing “Dark-Star-A-Day” and Keithfan was threatening to re-listen to the May ’77 box and everyone was chiming in with their perceptions/conceptions of the cosmos (IceCream’s take rang familiar for me). Then Get Shown the Light dropped and, well, you know . . . glad EVERYBODY can now get all four shows. Since weeks prior to the GSTL tumult, I’ve been chained in the studio seven daze a week, so took Keithfan’s suggestion and have been giving the May ’77 box a thorough, listen. Like Keithfan, it had been a while. The amazing music in that box have me jonesing for GSTL. I hit replay more than a few times when forgotten gems tumbled out during the re-listen. Like the amazing Space out of Uncle John’s Band on 5/7, St. Paul. Or from Terrapin thru the end on 5/12, Chicago. The TOO from Chicago 5/13. Or St. Stephen into Iko in St. Louis on 5/15. And, of course, the Quacking Duck at 1:35 in Fire in Tuscaloosa on 5/17. There’s lots more on these great sounding recordings. But listening to these shows in their entirety took them/me to a level that hugely surpasses a mere sum of their parts. If you haven’t tried May ‘77 recently, now’s a perfect time. Magical May indeed! These brothers and sisters make a perfect appetizer for the Betty Boards in Get Shown the Light. Can’t say enough about this rediscovered treasure, but I’ll leave it to others to (hopefully) add their analysis and commentary. Now maybe I’ll rewind to 1976 and do it all over again. . .

    Opinions Can Be Distracting
    Where was I? Oh yes.. Listening to music performed 44 years ago (minus a few hours). Not quite as spectacular as the last two releases from this tour.. but who's counting. I love these embryonic versions of Eyes of the World. They must have given some serious thought to the initial arrangement, its nearly flawless and contains perhaps the quintessential GD elastic groove. It has the ability to speed up and slow down time. Anyway, the actions from Truckin' though Stella. 02/21/73 Assembly Hall (University Of Illinois) - Champaign-Urbana, IL Set 1: Wave That Flag Me And My Uncle Brown-Eyed Women Beat It On Down The Line Loser Looks Like Rain Row Jimmy You Ain't Woman Enough Box Of Rain Big Railroad Blues Sugaree Around And Around Set 2: China Cat Sunflower I Know You Rider Jack Straw Mississippi Half-Step Truckin' Eyes Of The World Stella Blue Sugar Magnolia Casey Jones Encore: Johnny B.

    Are there any great ones? I really only love the Ladies and Gentlemen version. The Bobby throat shredder from 5/15/70 is just okay. The slow one from Rocking The Cradle : Egypt 1978 is interesting. All of the rest sound the same to me, but I'm looking for some magic. P.S. - I'm up to Tuscaloosa, May 1977 (5th Show). Love the Mississippi Half-Step, along with the 5/12 version, and my all time favorite, 5/25. Also looking forward to the Quacking Duck Scarlet / Fire.

    Limited Box and All Music Edition both good ideas
    I agree, no different then a first edition book vs mass market paperback. I am glad they did it on E72 since i missed the box set, I would love to have the box but the music is nice to have. It also does not diminish the value of the box, also look at E72, they go for 700+ on ebay. I felt the same way when I saw the all music edition released yesterday. Let everyone who wants the physical CDs get them, just no bells and whistles. MP3s are nice to have, that is what I did on spring '90 but i feel CDs/physical media have a more permanent feel to them. Just my thoughts on the matter.

    Limited Box and All Music Edition both good ideas
    I remember getting the announcement for Europe '72 and for Dave's Picks 1. I got paid and had what I thought was insane amount of money for an insanely brilliant box set of 73 cds! I didn't think it would be sold out in 4 days. I don't think anyone did. Didn't Fillmore West '69 take a fairly long time to sell out of 10,000? Winterland '73 is still available at Mill Valley for the original retail price, brand new, sealed. That's one of the greatest 3 night runs in Dead history, still for sale 9 years later, and it was apparently a large number made, unlimited almost. May '77 took something like 9 months to sell out at 15,000, then who knows how many downloads were sold, which people also complained about. I missed out on Spring '90 which was 9,000. It took a couple months at least to sell out, right? Spring '90 TOO took until last fall to sell out, I grabbed mine when I ordered 30 Trips. July '78 has yet to sell out, and it has rave reviews from those that purchased and post here. They were a first attempt with the Bettys, and they haven't sold out yet, they're for sale on this very page. Should they have expected a quicker than usual sell out? Yes. Could they have had a better ordering process, less stressful? Yes. But 3.5 days on sale and gone. 15,000 units. And so the All Music Edition comes and those that missed out, largely due to the incredibly arduous ordering fiasco have a rightful complaint about not getting the box. They have a rightful gripe. Some that got the box were talking of canceling since they felt screwed by Rhino into getting a limited product, only to find they could have gotten the shows, so why not make more boxes? That's the nature of limited, to make it more sought after. I really want a steamer trunk. I like that they came out with the All Music Edition, but I want that book and other goodies. I'm going to have to one day get one. I think everybody's absolutely correct that an All Music Edition of Fillmore West 69 would be fantastic, and if they let Norman take another crack at those reels going through Plangent, that would be fine, too. I think it's also fair that the prices are the same. The book is available by Cornell University Press for $15 on amazon for preorder, so you can get all of the shows in a physical format with nice artwork. Rhino is doing the right thing here, and an awesome thing in making an unlimited run of these shows together. It turns out whether or not 5/8/77 is considered the greatest show, or whether 5/7 or 5/9 is actually better, they sold out in record time. The Dave's Picks series really ought to sell out at $100 and free shipping, and yet it never has sold out in subscription form, and they haven't raised the number since 2015, so this box selling out in 3.5 days I think has to have shocked them. They made a perfect response to that with the music being made available to all who want to Get Shown the Light. That title grows on me more and more, probably in direct correlation to the repeated listenings of the Scarlet single. This is the run of Grateful Dead you could play to your girlfriend, wife, co-worker, , roommates, in-laws, younger siblings, whoever is able to hear it, and you can say it's the Grateful Dead, and they'll at least somewhat better appreciate the depths of your insanity about this band from the 60s. As much as they were of their time, they were ahead of their time. Sorry for the long post, I read a lot today about the pros and cons of the selling out and the "selling out". Sorry for sounding so ray of sunshiny, but let's enjoy the fact that these tapes that have been the most requested shows for years and decades are being made available to all for a long, long time. This will turn a lot of people on. There's some great, Dead weirdness, but there's just incredibly tight playing and jamming going on through all these nights. I was floored by the Boston Friend of the Devil, which I always used to skip, because I hate slow FotDs (make mine bluegrass), but last night it blew me away, they went powerful instead of plaintive and miserable. Rant finished.

A few days ago Bolo24 posted a link to an excerpt of this show, specifically highlighting the NFA-Black Peter-NFA. https://archive.org/details/gd1977-10-06.113809.kbfh.fm.tamarkin.flac24… This source was originally broadcast on the King Biscuit Flour Hour. I've known of this broadcast on KBFH for a long long time. Have I ever listened to it? Hard to say. This afternoon it sounded fresh. The Not Fade Away may well be the craziest-omfg version I've ever heard. Drops into gorgeous Black Peter. Wild NFA reprise. Great Around and Around. Be sure to stay for the Terrapin. I looked a little deeper and there appears to be some mystery regarding this show. On archive no legit complete SBD and no audience source period. Tape clearly reveals Terrapin is an encore; I don't see Terrapin on any posted set list. The listed encore is Uncle John's, including on deadnet. Is the Uncle John's listing a mistake and Terrapin is the real encore? Is Terrapin the secret second encore? Is it from another show? Also - did KBFH source a Betty Board for this broadcast? Were they using the master? Did they not return it and that's why there's no circulating whole show SBD? Or could this be one of the missing Bettys recently returned? Has it been in the vault all along? A lot of questions .... Thanks in advance to our resident scholars for any answers. If I've overlooked the obvious, forgive me. Fall 77 was one hell of a tour. Thanks Bolo!!

Can't say I'm surprised about that.. There's a bit of a history regarding the FM broadcast shows and what other recordings exist. I will look and see what I can dig up. That's a Bolo post that slipped by me. I will be sure not to make that mistake again. My life might just depend on it.

DECD291. Over the years since the release of "Fillmore West 1969 The Complete Recordings" there have been clamorings of it's re-release. The best time for this box's re-release should be in 2019, when this run marks it's 50th anniversary. But I think there is a very slim chance for that to happen. Perhaps a re-release of the 3 disc distillation CD set would be more appropriate. Or as bonus tracks on the 50th of Aoxomoxoa. Hey. it's one of my favorites.

I queued up DP 33 night 2 last night, after your recommendation on Dancin' => Wharf Rathe => Dancin'. You're right about that one, especially the last 4 minutes of Dancin' part I. There's a great passage there, headed into Wharf Rat. I did all of 2/28/69 yesterday as well. And I'm driving in now with 3/1/69 at incredible volume. If I weren't driving, I'd attach the Chevy Chase link :D

I've been trying to find the E72 books that came with the Complete Recordings Steamer Trunk. I missed out on the original 7200 units, and ended up buying the shows one at a time (this was AWESOME; it was like getting a new Dave's Pick or two a week). Then last year I picked up a Steamer Truck, but no books. So, if anyone is looking for extra cash, or wants to trade for my numbered May 1977: Get Shown The Light Box Set, PM me. I'm interested in both books. That jelly-roll drivin' me mad. Would love to hear Pigpen sing Dupree.

Blue Crow - 10-6-77 - I have both the King Biscuit and the "whole show"(?). I checked the dead base book and I what appears to be the whole show, but NO Terrapin. There is no Terrapin listed in Deadbase. But it is on my King Biscuit show. Maybe it was filler on the King Biscuit hour? Both my copies are good sound. Jim in MD - Egging Phil on,,,, guilty! We saw them once in the eighties when phil brought Box of Rain back. We brought a inflateable rabbit with "BOX" and "Let Phil Sing" and threw it forward. The crowd carried it to the stage and Phil sang Box! 2-27-77 - I have a very good recording and Scarlet is a ++.

I was just wondering if there could ever be an "all music edition" of the May 1977 Box. I missed the boat on that one and would really like to have it. I imagine it sounds really really good. Dave if you read this, what do you say? Entertain the idea? Who should I try to convince?

For those deadheads planning on attending the High Times Cannabis Cup in Las Vegas this weekend a word of warning. https://www.cannabiscup.com/las-vegas/#latest-news- IMPORTANT NOTE TO LAS VEGAS CANNABIS CUP VENDORS AND ATTENDEES Since our founding in 1974, HIGH TIMES has been deeply committed to creating safe, law-abiding events that allow the cannabis community to peacefully assemble and collectively celebrate the freedoms we've won through the national marijuana legalization movement. After direct consultation with local and state authorities, HIGH TIMES, along with our partner Ultra Health, was confident we would have an event that was a safe celebration of cannabis within Nevada’s medical cannabis statutes. We have been in regular consultation with Nevada Medical Marijuana Establishments (MMEs), the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH), which oversees NV MMEs, and the Department of Taxation, and we have been very clear that we have always been prepared to host a compliant event. HIGH TIMES thanks the Nevada Department of Public Behavior & Health and the Nevada Department of Taxation for their open correspondence and cooperation in allowing us to have our event within the confines of Nevada law. Additionally, the HIGH TIMES U.S. Cannabis Cup Las Vegas is fully compliant with Moapa Tribal Law. But now federal authorities have intervened directly with our host venue, the land of the Moapa Band of Paiutes. Subsequently, we've been informed that our upcoming Cannabis Cup event in Nevada ‪on March 4-5 can proceed as planned, but vendors, guests, performers and attendees are advised to comply with applicable law concerning the distribution of cannabis in any amount at the event. In order for the cannabis industry to continue to earn legitimacy and social acceptance, we understand that rules and laws need to be abided.

There's good reason why the Dead chose University of California Santa Cruz rather than Liberty University to house their archive.

tree pollen, I guess. Anti-histamine says not to take with alcohol, but I just had 2 bottles of wine. Do you think I'll be OK?

I've seen you change the water into wine I've seen you change it back to water, too I sit at your table every night I try but I just don't get high with you I wish there was a treaty we could sign I do not care who takes this bloody hill I'm angry and I'm tired all the time I wish there was a treaty, I wish there was a treaty Between your love and mine Ah, they're dancing in the street — it's Jubilee We sold ourselves for love but now we're free I'm so sorry for that ghost I made you be Only one of us was real and that was me.

Grateful DeadMarch 2, 1969 Fillmore West San Francisco, CA., USA SET 1: Dark Star> St. Stephen> The Eleven> Turn On Your Lovelight SET 2: Doin' That Rag That's It For The Other One> -Cryptical Envelopment -Drums -The Other One -Cryptical Envelopment Death Don't Have No Mercy Morning Dew Alligator> Drums> Jam> Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks> Feedback> And We Bid You Goodnight. An amazing four night run that resulted in segments of the Live/Dead album. This box set will probably never get re-released. Next hope for a box release from this period is the Ark Boston run of April 21, 22, 23, 1969.

Trying to crack the mystery of what Bolo24 posted about 10-6-77. I take it as a possible future Dave's Pick, perhaps it will be the contents of Dave's Picks 23 or 24, who knows, but I'll happy if it is. I remember this show from the KBFH broadcast on WNEW-FM. Band: Grateful Dead Venue: Activity Center - Arizona State University Location: Tempe, AZ Date: 10/6/77 - Thursday SET 1: The Promised Land Tennessee Jed Jack Straw Dire Wolf Looks Like Rain Loser New Minglewood Blues They Love Each Other The Music Never Stopped SET 2: Bertha> Good Lovin' Friend Of The Devil Estimated Prophet> Eyes Of The World> Drums> Not Fade Away> Black Peter> Not Fade Away> Around And Around ENCORE: Encore Uncle John's Band via deadlistsDOTcom

When Go To Nausau was released I was very pleasantly surprised to learn/hear that it was a multi-track recording. I learned later that it was on multi-track because King Biscuit recorded it that way for their broadcast. I immediately began hoping that 7/18/76 was also on multi-track because it is an old favorite of mine and I knew it was a King Biscuit broadcast. Dave confirmed this in the DaP 18 release video. I therefore tend to believe that all the King Biscuit shows are on multi-track which would include 10-6-77. I think that if it is in fact on multi-track that it will someday be released. I think that would be the only 77 show on multi-track. One could argue, however, that Betty's mixes are so sweet that multi-track capabilities are superfluous for 77 shows!

They put up the version from the forthcoming Garcia Live Vol. 8 on Youtube today, and man......epic. When people hear the version of Deal from this show for the 1st time, it will be a semi-religious out-of-body experience. The most rockin' version to see official release to date.

I'm looking forward to it too.. too bad more of these later day shows are not on Video. I was watching the 1990 Shoreline a couple nights ago and it was so enjoyable.. brought back good JGB memories. The Dear Prudence from that show, in particular, was amazing.. but I am partial to that tune.

Thumbs up on Melvin's Band. I'm not sure if I have seen this iteration or not, but I don't think its too far off on personnel from when I last saw them a few years back. I enjoyed it a lot.. if he came anywhere close to me, I'd jump on it too. When Melvin really gets into it.. its a powerful force.. great guitarist too, but not Jerry. Like I said, I had a very good time.. brought back a lot of memories.

One Jerry Garcia Band show I'd like to see get officially released is: 11/23/77 Palace Theater, Waterbury, CT. Fast foward this date 14 years and you get the current GarciaLive Vol. 8 release. Anyway, I have an old audience tape (on cassette tape) originally recorded by Jerry Moore and it'a a *few* generations distant from his master recording, to say the least. I finally tracked down jgb77-11-23.aud.moore.16204.shnf and it sounds very good for the probable original Moore recording. It's missing the encore of Lonesome And A Long Way From Home. My cassette adds a note that Not Fade Away was also played at this show as an encore. I really can't remember too much from this show, other than my ticket stub. Anyone else care to see Jerry Garcia Band 11/23/77 get released in it's entirety?

Just wanted to touch on the parents and the Dead connection. About three years back, I was rehabbing my kitchen (tearing down walls and ripping up tiles.. all fun stuff) and my dad was helping with the project. He wasn't a construction guy by trade, but he was always willing to lend a hand with whatever project I decided to get into- he's a good man, my dad. Anyway, I put on DP 29 because it was a nice long listen (2 shows) and by the time we got to Row Jimmy (5/29)- he asked, "Who is this? Is this the Grateful Dead?" I said "Yeah. They're good, right." Without even looking up from prying up a floorboard, he said, "Always were." I looked at him and laughed and shook my head. He never played a Dead record that I could remember, and I'm not sure how much he ever listened to them, but he knew some great music when he heard it. We listened to that whole pick, and then I dropped DP 36 on him, and he loved fall '72 as well. I always think of that time whenever I put on either of those shows. I'm lucky enough to still have my Dad and Mom around- I think I'll have to send a few shows or compilations there way- really turn em on! Favorite '77 show- I think JimMD said this, but- the last one I listened too. (Although 5/29 does get a nod just because of my dad). Happy Friday to all you wonderful heads. Enjoy the weekend. My wife and kids are away, so I'm about to crack a nice frosty IPA, fire up some nice greenery and settle in with Dave's 21- nice and loud. Maybe sneak in a '77 or that 6/17/91 that Sixtus put out there- either way, life is grand, and I'm grateful!!!

Turning Dad onto the Dead. I am working on my mom, personally. Love my dad.. but Moms are moms.. Give me some time on this.. I have been working on them for almost 40 years.. it would have been easier if it were not for my older brother. He liked to play Jimi Hendrix very loud while smoking dope in the basement and drinking beer with his friends. ..that rat bastard.. made it much harder for me to freak freely without getting called out and having your friends parents called by phone late night. Love my brother too, and my dad.. more on that later, but back to my point.. great thread here, so much to comment on.. but I'm pretty pooped, buzzed and off-point.

When I was following the band, Mom and Dad were not happy, seeing me as irresponsible, and not making something of my life. Now I play cool Dead when I'm hanging with Mom, and she enjoys it, sometimes shakin' it a little with me in the kitchen. I wish my Dad had made it to this point. I listened to 9/2/83 Boise Idaho last night, a sbd cd a friend gave me a few years ago. Second set is pretty sweet...Help>Slip>Franklin's, Estimated>Eyes>Jam (cool jam I've never heard before)>D>S>Throwin'> GDTRFB> Black Peter> SM, encore Baby Blue. I too wish the FW 69 box would be re-released. I can't afford the ebay prices-can you believe this box sold for $80? If anyone has a FW 69 box they would like to sell to me at a reasonable price, please please let me know!

Fantastic story especially when it involves converting those who we may have thought were beyond conversion. And double.....nay....TRIPLE points for them being A Parent. Glad to have inspired a (potential) '91 listen as well. Love that show. And I know it's been discussed around here before, but I also recall having seen the Eyes of the World and the Saint of Circumstance on a Friday evening program called "In Concert", late at night. I had a VHS of it for years which I somehow converted onto an audio cassette just for that Eyes of the World. Imagine my elation when I discovered The Archive back in The Day and everything was accessible and downloadable. It was an epiphany extraordinaire. Sixtus P.S. I happeed to be listening to my compiled list of the February 26, 1977 show. And embedded in there was the Scarlet>Fire from May 5, 1977. The first show from this box. I have no idea how it got in there, but it was included as one track. And I listened to it. Curiously, yet still unfamiliar by listen. I have admittedly never heard this show despite its prominent locale among the golden magnificent trifecta. And as the Scarlet > Fire transition was unfolding, something suddenly happens and the band just takes off. It's a mesmerizing moment and makes one start paying attention henceforth. From there and onward, it hints at some really cool, familiar moments. As it was moving along I was hearing these little signature passages. I listened to it all the way through and my jaw kind of slacked and I said to myself...."self: this sounds like Cornell". Then once the walking wah-wah of Fire on the Mountain began its slow plodding stamp...just like Cornell....but a few bars longer....I went and checked the playlist and sure enough it WAS the night before. There are some uncanny overlaps; as with most amazing things that happen there's always something that happens before from which it has built. A theme. Feeling. Vibe. A malicious beat. God only knows what it is but it somehow morphs one night to the next into something intangible and beautiful. I love this shit.
