    I saw them open for REM circa Days of Wine. An unreal great show all around.

    I saw them in 1985 in Madrid, can't recall for sure if Precoda was out by then - there should be some youtube around as they played for the Spanish TV2

    Speaking (to myself :innocent ) about Chuck Berry and GD, I happened to hear the other day Jerry Reed cover of "Wabash Cannonball" 


     

    and thought this is a plagiarism of Promised Land, or vice versa! 

     

    Surely it's commonplace for you Americans, but I just 'discovered' (Thanks Google!) that song and its variations have been recorded by everybody, from Roy Acuff to Cash to...According to some blog "the Rock and Roll Museum in Cleveland compiled a list of 500 "songs that shaped rock and roll"; "Wabash Cannonball" is the oldest song on the list"

    Anyone listening to the JGB 11/23/91 release? Holy crap, A+++ recording. I attended the night before at the Hosemont, seats behind the stage.

    It's f*** fantastic. the best of the last JGB releases imho. And Jerry is at his most heartfelt voice...Check it in Shining Star...till my dying day. Goosebumps.

     

    Er, by the way...I use to skip Mountains of the Moon, a few of Jerry tunes I do that. Sorry, Mr Heartbreak!

    If you can locate it definitely seek out "Those Who Know History Are Doomed To Repeat It" (1988). I don't think it ever came out on CD. It's a bizarre, wonderful LP - the obvious centerpiece being a 30 minute Dark Star > Other One combo, which has one of the best psychedelic electric violin solos around.

    Easily available for d/l via a google search but only until March 17.

     

    Tracklist:

    Mason's Children (Hunter/Garcia/Lesh/Weir) (4:45)
    The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (Bacharach/David) (3:52)
    The Andy Griffith Show Theme: The Fishin' Hole (Sloane/Spencer) (3:54)
    Ode To Billy Joe (Gentry) (9:35)
    Flavor Bud Living (Van Vliet) (1:56)
    Dark Star > The Other One (Grateful Dead) (30:55)
    I Love You, You Big Dummy (Van Vliet) (3:05)
