Grateful Dead Go Ahead Vine

Forums

started by Lopezz Ok, I dug this stuff out for you marye. Go Ahead was a side band for Brent Mydland and Billy Kreutzmann. I have a few recordings from 86-88. I have put the best of the lot on cd's. (sorry no flac files this time) Also in this vine is a Brent Mydland solo from 7-10-1988. It is a very clear audience recording. Brent's volcals are kind of soft, but there is no hiss or other obnoxious noises and sounds fine turned up loud. Still, I would recommend listening to Brent's solo in head phones or a car to really appreciate it. This will be 7 cd's in all. Brent Mydland 7-10-1988 01. Love Doesn't Have To Be Pretty 02. Maybe You Know 03. Musician (Not An Easy Life) 04. Gentlemen Start Your Engines 05. I Will Take You Home 06. Devil With The Blue Dress On -> 07. Good Golly Miss Molly -> 08. Devil With The Blue Dress On Go Ahead: Brent Mydland- keyboards Billy Kreutzmann- drums Alex Ligetwood- vocals, percussion David Margen- bass Jerry Cortez- guitar My Fathers Place, Roslyn

if this is the BCT SEVA show

One issue that probably affects the vocals is that the crowd was pretty rude and talked through his whole set. I was FURIOUS, as they would never behave that way when Jer was onstage (as he later was, and the Dead set from the same show, which as I recall was some bandmember and friends on the billing, was very nice). I'm sure Brent had to deal with worse crowds, but STILL. As for Go Ahead, great bar band...

Some Brent nuggets?

Well...thank you very much...:) who do I PM my address? Mary E first?1. Stephen in pa Leave it if you dare...

no, you guys go ahead, as it were

I'll sign up when I get the one I'm sitting on in the mail! It's all copied and I just need to get to the post office!

Nice!

I just mailed this out

to Stephen in PA. If you like Brent's vocals you will like Go Ahead, I would say he sings at least half the songs on these shows. The Graffiti Showcase, Pittsburgh, PA 10-29-1986 shows are the best, great versions of The Weight, and Shes Not There.

Saw them here in Cleveland

Alex Ligertwood

if I recall correctly, used to sing with the Elvin Bishop band. There's an old TV special on The San Francisco Sound or some such (PBS I think) that has him singing "Winnin'" with that band, and it knocked my socks off when I saw it. This brings a grin to my face just reading the setlists!

Brent , I`m in !!

1. Stephen in pa2. That Nice Hippy Guy 3. Hal R 4. JackstrawfromColorado 5.1958 Thank you Lopezz !!

I love Brent's vocals

A big reason I like Warren Haynes with the Dead is that his voice to me sounds a lot like Brent's. Hey Stuman I got you signed up! :-) 1. Stephen in pa 2. That Nice Hippy Guy 3. Hal R 4.

pabogoniagirl1

This one is the Brent vine . Just another bump so you can find this thread . *** Clean***Sober***Proud***

head up my ass

At least I didn't put it in the sportster transmission or the yard sale stuff I was working on. I will get this one out soon. Peace Tina

Very cool - !

This just looks too interesting to pass up. Especially looking forward to the solo material and the Devil With the Blue Dress > Good Golly Miss Molly > Devil With the Blue Dress part. I'm an old Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels fan and love his version of these particular songs - so to hear Brent solo versions will be fun. 4.

I've been looking for this.

Wow, can't wait to be a part of this recording.

taking this a little furthur...

Ok, now to tie Mitch Ryder back to the GOGD - one of Mitch's best tracks was his rendition of CC Rider and at the Festival Express on 7/4/70 Jerry accompanies Ian and Sylvia and the Great Speckled Bird on - yep you guessed it CC Rider!
