    Hi Katyky.... Well I haven't seen the documentary but I do know he is owns a fish farm. :) I am not really sure if any other members of JT will be with him in Austin, it's billed as IA doing the songs of Jethro Tull so it does make me wonder. I have a "long lost" 1st cousin, actually I have yet to meet him, that lives in Austin. He is a professor of art at one of the universities there. We hooked up online via Facebook and found that we have many things in common, so he invited myself and my two sons over to Austin for the concert and bought our tickets!! Yay!!! It will be a very interesting night I'm sure. I have been a fan of JT for many years and I did catch the Rock Island tour some 20ish years back in New Orleans. I know no matter who will be there as his band it should prove to be a great show. Right now, I'm not listening to anything but the phones ringing as I am settling in for an overnight shift dispatching trucks. However once it gets closer to midnight and things slow down, I'll dig up some music to listen too... maybe some Tull! Peace! JT (my initials!!)

    Highly feasible ($15 + shipping) for a what's appears to be a solid used copy (i.e., VG rating, Amazon Fulfillment, and reputable seller): http://www.amazon.com/Schubert-Die-Schoene-Muellerin/dp/B0079O2N7I Look forward to your future posts!

    I love that particular song cycle and, while I realize it is only visual background for the audio clip, I am still compelled to ask whether you own a vinyl copy? I possess the DG cd, which - happily - also contains Erlkoenig, An die Musik, and Heidenroeslein. While sitting here reading, I'm listening to renditions of Tchaikovsky's 6th symph. (11/24/47)) and the Nutcracker (11/19/51) performed by the NBC SO under Toscanini's critique-proof hands!/peace, kate

    While there is great variance among subjectively rated stand-out shows, 2/14 is one of those special performances around which community consensus coalesces. Phenomenal open-structured jamming; note particularly what is formally called the Spanish Jam out of Born Crossed-Eyed, as well as the free-reigned improvisational workout between Alligator and Caution, the latter preceding a Feedback for which renowned taper Michael Getz "urge[s] everyone to sit down and let this thing grab you by the collar" as "it feels like the universe has been turned inside out, revealing the band as mere mortal puppets all along". Noteworthily, Getz concludes by stating, "Serious listening to this show reveals such a sheer depth of soul-awakening power that it astonishes me to remember just how young a band they were at the time". Love to hear your thoughts! /k

    Hi ACH! Wow, I was just listening to TAAB while driving the puppies out to the lake for a swim early this a.m.! It may just be the deadhead in me, but I've really become enamored of that MSG '78 bonus version on my rerelease, as well as the live iteration from '77 on "Bursting Out" ... much like our beloved Dead, Tull seems to have thrived onstage. Yet, there is a discernible dearth of live material on the market, to include ROIOs, especially from early on. I'm envious of your pending concert experience; I've been reading interviews and watching documentaries while becoming increasingly impressed with IA's wit, intelligence, humor, and common sensibility. Have you seen "Fish & Sheep, RocknRoll" : IA as squire, entrepreneur, superstar, and husband! Question: Is he touring with any remnants of the band's early incarnations? In any event, I'll look forward to your review! Nothing novel to report on the listening front this a.m.; I've got disc 2 from #11 in for a third listen - what a 2nd set!/kate

Lyrics to My Sisters And Brothers : I wanna say to my sisters and my brothers Keep the faith, When the storm flies and the wind blows Go on at a steady pace, When the battle is fought and the victory is won We call all shout together, "We have overcome!" We'll talk to the Father and the Son When we make it to the Promised Land. Chorus: Walk together little children, You don't ever have to worry, Through this world of trouble We gotta love one another, Let's take our fellow man by the hand Try to help him to understand We will all be together for ever and ever When we make it to the promised land. Our Bible reads, "Thou shall not be afraid Of the terror by night Nor the arrow that flies by day, Nor for the pestilence That walketh in the darkness, Nor for the destruction That waiteth in the noonday hour." Chorus This world is not our own, We're only passing through, Our treasure's all laid up Way beyond the blue, Let's do the very best that we can While we're traveling through this land We can all be together, Shakin' our hair, When we make it the Promised Land. Children, we can Make it to the Promised Land, (repeat a bunch of times) We can all be together For ever and ever When we make it to the Promised Land.

The Grifter's Hymnal This album is real good. If I was going to name a probable guest star on a RWH album, Ringo Starr probably would not have made the list. If I was going to name a songwriter that he might cover, Richard Starkey would not have made my list either. But "Coochy Coochy" is there with Ringo singing and playing, and somehow it all still fits. Not from "Coochy Coochy": And sure I drank a lot of gin and tonic But I never threw away my Panasonic I kept that turntable through my divorce Playing Neil Young and Crazy Horse Drunk out of my mind singing Tonight’s The Night It was as lethal on vinyl as China White

I've recently been listening to a site called radioio dot com / channels / dead. All Dead, all the time, with some commercials. They go real deep into the good stuff. Haven't been disappointed with it at all since I stumbled into it last week. But, you have to refresh if you want to see what you just heard. Check it out, it's a winner.

Living the Blues Refried Boogie (Parts 1 & 2) Whoa! Haven't listened to this in 35-40 years! Found it used at Amoeba Records. As I'm listening I can hear it could be the blueprint for the ABB's "You Don't Love Me" - or vice versa. Awesome and wonderful excess!!!

Low Down So here's a little unabashed hometown boosterism, sort of. Check these guys out if you like Americana Rock (a little rock when you twang, a little twang when you rock). Well worth the listen, well worth the purchase. The Mallett Brothers are based in Portland, ME, which is not my hometown. The two Malletts in the band are sons of David Mallett, a folk singer who's been toiling in semi-obscurity for getting close to 40 years -- his closest brush with fame was probably as the songwriter of "The Garden Song," covered by many and a minor hit for John Denver some decades back. David IS from my little town of birth nestled in the backwoods of Maine. Hey excellent news about the Jerry release. I'm a little concerned that the website doesn't appear to be close to operational (a front page and a link to a sparsely-stocked store is not much to go on), but we have some hope!

There are obviously so many great live shows, but I personally feel like Live/Dead kind of best represents their late 60's sound, and Europe '72 (once I went and got the original tracks for about of it, those which were sped up so much on the offical release they sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks play the Dead) is just the best you can do to represent the 72-72 era. But I know '77 is thought of as another great year, and all I have so far is a rather underwhelming (In my opinion) show from 4-30 (Download Series, Vol. 1). What would anyone suggest as THE one, single show to have from '77, official release or otherwise? I tend to lean toward the officials only because the sound quality tends to be slightly better than the stuff available on Archive.

Free: 10-29-77 The Dead in '77 had a lot to do with raging, right? Get the recent Charlie Miller Aud - they were all the way on this night. (It was a Saturday) Dick's Picks 15. 9-03-77 After being "unable" to play for a spell, they bust out big time - Jerry is en fuego!!! My faves are 1/2 Step, Music, Loser, Estimated>Eyes... There's a radio broadcast out there with Jerry way more front-and-center than here - this is the connoisseur's version. (It, too, was a Sat) Dick's picks 29, 5-19 & 21-77. The first show has an electrifying Sugaree as well as a tremendous second set. The second show has Scarlet >Fire and is probably a hair better overall. (Thurs. & Sat.) AND there are three Winterland runs to be had via the Archive and Dead.net - for purchase, downloads and vines. Suerte, suerte.

Thanks, you've definitely given me some homework! So, do you think the "Great" 5-8-77 Barton Hall show is overrated, or great but there are better? I noticed you didn't mention it. I DLed it yesterday but haven't listened to it yet.

Or could they have picked better versions of a lot of the songs on Reckoning? I have a bunch of stuff from that Warfield run and Jerry's voice sound much better on the unofficial stuff. Also I hate how loud they mixed the crowd on that album.

Quadrophenia (Deluxe) I've never seen the Who, just got tix to see them in November performing Quadrophenia. The "deluxe" part is Pete Townshend's demos of the songs on the album. His demos sound better than a lot of bands' final products...

The big release of '90's shows inspired me to dust off Dozin. I've had if for a long time but never got that into it. It never ceases to amaze me how I can listen to a dead show many times and not find it very interesting and then all of sudden, the mood is right or something, and it will blow me away. They certainly were hot in the fall of '90 if the music captured on Dozin' is any indication. I also pulled out my copy of Without a Net, which was released in '90. Anybody know when that material was recorded???
