    From Two From The Vault is one of my all-time GD moments. It has that soothing melody that feels so good after a "My nerves are shot, and I can't take it anymore" section of music like That's It for the Other One. Exactly perfect.

    I wish they would have found a way to keep it in their repertoire a little longer. On the sunny side, I was able to see them perform it both with Phil's band and Furthur in the post Jerry years.

    One of those great, quirky songs. Thanks Phil, you are missed.

    Update

    I was at the Los Lobos show last night.
    When the guys took the stage, David Hidalgo
    stepped up to the mike and said:
    "This is for Phil Lesh."
    They proceeded to open with "West L.A. Fadeaway."

    There were quite a few heads in the audience, and we got
    Evangeline, Not Fade Away, Bertha, La Bamba>Good Lovin>La Bamba
    plus ALL the great tunes Los Lobos is known for. Bitter sweet. What a day it was.

    Phil was Jerry's counterpoint and his bass runs beyond compare

    In a conversation with CNN in 2006, Lesh reflected on the feeling of performing with his bandmates.

    “It’s paradise. At that moment, I’m not really there. And no one is. We are the music, and our personalities as such really cease to exist at all. We’ve been subsumed into the greater personality of the group mind, that’s what’s been created. That’s what’s created when we are creatively improvising, and the flow is really happening. When we are actually channeling, we are opening that pipeline to another reality that speaks to us. And we are acting as transformers, and we have to step that down into musical thought. But this is not something you can do consciously, learn how to do or be taught. It’s just something that happens to you when the stars are aligned properly and when your individual consciousness is open enough.”

    "November and more, as I wait for the score,
    They're telling me forgiveness is the key to every door.
    A slow winter day a night like forever,
    Sink like a stone, float like a feather.
    Lilac rain, unbroken chain, Song of the sawhet owl.

    Out on the mountain, it'll drive you insane, Listening to the winds howl
    Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls, Unbroken chain of shy and sea.
    Unbroken chain of the western wind, Unbroken chain of you and me."
    - Robert Peterson

    "You who choose to lead must follow
    But if you fall you fall alone
    If you should stand then who's to guide you?
    If I knew the way I would take you home"
    - Robert Hunter

    I was always a Phil guy. Jerry and Phil, no offense to the others. After Jerry passed, I was on the Phil side as close as I could get.

    I'm sad beyond description. Phil made a difference. With all the trouble in the world, when I think of bombs, they are always Phil Bombs.

    Again, sad beyond what words can describe. May the four winds blow you safely home Mr. Lesh.
    There's a weird emptiness here tonight. A well-earned void.

    Edit: I changed my mind and went for Augusta 84. Phil denotes and destroys the final jam in Morning Dew. The Phil and Jerry combo was just exactly perfect. I'll do 3/15/90 tomorrow.

Steve Kuhn's 1986 gig at The Village Vanguard, with Ron Carter bass, Al Foster drums, "Life's Magic". Kuhn, now in his mid 80s has recently stopped touring. He's a little under the radar when the big name piano jazz comes up, a fine session here.

Morning rockers!!

Paperwork day, no autopsies, too much coffee.........

Well, not exactly today, but over the weekend listened to the entire Family Dog run of February/March 1970. Fun shows, great stuff!!

Re box set rumors, while digging into the dark dusty corners of my own archive I was reminded that recordings of the June 12 & 13 1970 Hawaii shows are in the vault and are very decent quality...............

When there are dogs and music, people have a good time........

I agree that this was a great and most welcome choice throughout 1974. Some great jams were resolved by going into this song - flying from outer space and landing smoothly on Planet E.

Has there ever been a time where they played shows from a soon to be released box set on Sirius/XM prior to the announcement of a box set? Just curious as I don't have Sirius/XM.

Would love to see those 80 Alaska shows come out or other 80 shows.

It's the bane of my life ( slight exaggeration) that Dicks Picks with segments of this and two other 1974 shows. I have never made notes about which song comes from which show, so I always have to get Deadbase down to try and figure it out. Either that or just forget about it and play the cds as they are.

The collector in me wants everything organized by show date.
I even have the Ummagumma live album in its own folder with the date.
I don’t do it to all non-GD bands. A lot of live albums are sourced from an entire tour so I leave them that way.

Love that this an official release. I was there. This was sort of a prelude to me following the GOGD for the next six years or so to the best of my ability. Good folks at local radio station WLIR. I still say the Calderone was a crappy venue, but they had great shows!

I purchased the CDs, ripped them twice, and then proceeded to listen on a streaming service. I don't know why I do anything at all sometimes...

It's nice though....

Playing the brand spanking new reissue of Feats Don't Fail Me Now. It's a 3 CD set, with the original album remastered, a disc of outtakes, and a live set. Always liked the original LP, and grateful to have two 'new' discs of Lowell.

A fun, beautiful show on a gorgeous summer Saturday afternoon in the PNW. My youngest brother in town for an extended visit that ran through Eugene and beyond - seeing shows, backpacking the Olympics and Cascades, camping at Tahkenitch. Jerry's first public performance with Lightning Bolt - not that we knew that - all we "knew" was it all sounded fantastic. This show was just exactly perfect and would make a mighty fine official release.

...the Summer theme continues even though I just listened a couple of weeks back, 1991-06-24 SANDSTONE Amphitheatre...are you listening, it's SUMMER 1991! just a couple of days removed from Soldier field (anyone remember inside the stadium on the concourse, there were banners hanging with notable CHI football players, I stop and look up, and no shit it's Charley Trippi (a running back with the early Chicago Cardinals) oh man this is gonna be a fun few days!
We get to Kansas City on the 23rd (cheap flight from O'hare), rent a car, and go to tour this little unknown at the time craft brewery, Boulevard Brewing, and guess who is working the bottling line, yup nametag on his work shirt verifies that it's Trip! I kid you not. About 13-14 years later, I learn from a former manager that Trip was one of the 1st 5 employees @ Boulevard. what's next when we get out to Sandstone...?
1st set tuning we even get a slight hint of supplication, but little did we realize...

Their first show at Red Rocks. And a killer show as we all know. In the July '78 Box (which I have and love). On Archive prefer the OctopusRider matrix (which I'm listening to now). There are killer audience tapes of this show - early on I had one into Fire transition and it became an integral part of my GD being. The first set is nonpareil. The Cold Rain Set II opener is the GOAT.

Hey rockers!!!

Right now I'm listening to the Hollywood Palladium show of September 9, 1972. It's a little outside of my serious comfort zone, but a very fine show and definitely worth a listen.

This was officially released a little over a year ago, and seems to have been quickly forgotten. There's actually quite a few really good later 72 official releases, worthy of relistens every so often...........

I know, you're shocked, Doc raving about post-E72 shows. No I didn't fall down and hit my head. But last night I did fall outta bed while dreaming of a February/April Fillmore West 1970 box set.............

My masters are strange folk with very little care for music in them.....

Keep it rockin'!

The Police - February 1979 - today it's known as University of Hertfordshire but back then it was still Hatfield Poly. Great show, there's video as well (believe BBC? Whatever, it's good stuff)
