    Something completely different

    "The Alabama Box : 1950's and 1960s Oddball Labels". 8 cds of grassroots, primitive rock n' roll from Bear Family. One of a series of regionally based box sets of obscure rockabilly, rock n' roll etc. Sound quality wise it makes "Elvis At Sun" sound like "Dark Side of The Moon". No need to get hung up on that though - put some dirt in your eye.

    yes, 1stShow (my first Red Rocks show)

    It was a fantastic night.

    And Graham brought that up about the anniversary of Jerry's death and spoke of Garcia's genius and generosity as he told the tale. Paid homage to the Dead as well and the crowd roared. Several stories of Joni Mitchell, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, the Hollies, Neil Young, and more as he explained the circumstances surrounding writing songs and the process. Fun stuff for us gray heads.

    Addendum, Graham's excellent four piece band included two young multi-instrumentalists switching off and adding color, power, swell, and nuance to the show. Wonderful evening.

    Wow, Oroboros. What a setlist! Must have been a great show. If I read that right there were 3 encores with 4 songs. And the Alligator story too. Bonus.
    Cheers

    Teach your children

    last night on the anniversary of Jerry's death, we attended a Graham Nash show where he was storytelling all night on each tune's origin. Nash discussed how CSNY were stuck on who to play lead on their new tune, when David Crosby offered the Dead were in the next studio. CSNY asked Jerry to play pedal on 'Teach your Children.'

    Garcia ripped his classic pedal steal solo in one take, to the delight of everyone. Nash paid Jerry with a fender guitar he had purchased in Arizona, which Garcia promptly placed an alligator sticker on. And the rest is history. A great night of music and stories in Omaha from Graham Nash last night.
