Grateful Dead

Ustad Zakir Hussain passed away yesterday (12/15) - may he rest in peace and beauty. An amazing musician. There is a WNYC New Sounds studio performance with Zakir and Rahul Sharma from just two months ago on utoob and the wnyc site. Just watched their performance of Dhun Keharwa - simply gorgeous. Thanks to the SH poster who pointed to this.

As some of you undoubtedly know, the OSF Foundation released a volume of Bear's Sonic Journals entitled That Which Colors The Mind, with Ali Akbar Khan,, Indranil Bhattacharya, and Zakir Hussain (Family Dog on the Great Highway, San Francisco, CA, May 27, 1970.) Highly recommended.

By chance the only time I was lucky enough to see Zakir was his only guest appearance with the Grateful Dead - Alpine Valley 8/8/82 - where he and John Cippolina both played. For a long time I've wondered what the back story was of those 2 greats showing up for a show amidst the pastures and corn fields of America's Dairyland.

Up soon - some Diga Rythym Band - as the song says, Happiness is Drumming. All my Shakti releases are on LP so will probably rely on the interwebs for those, at least for now.

Marye,

No need to fix the DaP52 page, just unlock the DaP53 page and the DaP54 announcement.

Well, that was closer than it needed to be OB. Good grief.

And speaking of 76, we do have #53 to look forward to and next week we should find out #54.

Sounds grate!!!
Phil sounds awesome on vinyl.
It helps that I got new Klipsch speakers and 12-inch subwoofer a few months ago.

I had 10-9 set 2 on cassette, but never had set 1 or 10-10 on cassette. Was quite happy when both shows were announced as a DP.

Was glad I was able to score a vinyl copy when it came out.

Y'all be cool

Glad it wasn't something we said!

Got out my copy of DiP 33 for a listen to 10/10/76 later today/tonight.

Nice choice man!

DiP #33 sounds fantastic!!

How's the vinyl version treating your ears, Icecream?

And some super dark roast Columbian Supremo.
