    Eyes from 12/4/73

    the Cleveland 12/4/73 show ( I was tryna say more but something kept getting me hey now'd) <sigh>

    Wow, what got into Phil Lesh that night!? Somewhere I read that he was ticked off with the promoters and that's part of the reason set II is short. I wonder if Phil was trying to bring the ceiling down on those miscreants. Whatever his motivations were, it's just marvelous the things he does with his bass. He just takes over on Eyes and drives things into one ferociously weird bit of feedback. And that Stella Blue, too...he's playing behind Garcia instead of being way out in front, and yet Phil just goes thundering along. Intense. I've spent the last 90 minutes just grooving to Phil and replaying those two songs. Good stuff!!

    Spirit of the Golden Juice

    This has to be the most random bit of folk/singer-songwriter material I have ever stumbled into. The artist is someone I'd never heard of: F.J. McMahon.

    McMahon's album, "Spirit of the Golden Juice", had a limited pressing in 1969 and McMahon tried touring to support it, even eventually doing the tourist circuit in Hawaii, but the album got no play. He finally found himself uninspired by playing covers, so he joined the navy and soon forgot all about playing music for a living. (I tried to say more but it was at this point that I got hey now'd)

    (trying to edit my post) try the song 'Early Blue' if you just want to see what the fuss is about

    A great box set of David Bowie's demo and live recordings from 1971, leading up to the release of Hunky Dory. It's surprising how tentative he seemed performing live at this time. Come the beginning of 1972, an inspired make over and change of outlook - hey presto - Ziggy played guitar. This box set is really good, charting the path from nowhere's ville to the stars.

    The new Matrix 1967 release is a good one.

    This is one of those shows where we're so very lucky to have the tape that we have. Mike Tannenbaum's recording gear was supposedly concealed inside a wheelchair. Once your ear gets used to the recording quality, though, this show has some ferocious passages that are absolutely worth hearing. I come back to the Cryptical->Other One->Cryptical->Sugar Mag time and time again. Garcia is just a demon dancing across Other One. And the Sugar Mag... a song that would go on to be played hundreds of times, but here has barely been done a dozen... Garcia's solo is effortlessly rockin' right out of the gate, just so assured. And beautiful harmonies from the boys.

    figured I'd post here since someone had revived this thread

    Currently listening to and…

    Currently listening to and learning Deep Elem Blues ... i noticed there are 2 dominant versions, live at harpur College version, which is a slowed down real bluesy version, and then the more classic and common "bluegrass" version as heard in the acoustic and JGB shows...

    wondering if anyone knows what these two styles are called in the dead/music world, as I'm trying to learn the Harpur College version and having trouble searching for lessons on that specifically that version ("real bluesy version" and "harpur college version" isn't working in the searches)

    Much love!
