Glastonbury Fayre (1972)

For those of you wanting a new Rich solo album: I have to wonder why he needs to sign with a record company - when the Black Crowes have their own label/distribution deal. Although maybe that does not exist anymore.

I don't think he said - just mentioned the year. I wonder what else was in that box of tapes.

I started reading Tune In: The Beatles: All These Years ( Mark Lewisohn) the other day. He goes into a lot of family background - which is sort of interesting. Even at 900 pages, I can tell he had to cut a lot out. Of course, this is only the first volume. I think I read there is going to be three books altogether. I also grabbed Live At The BBC Volume 2. I have to wonder why they didn't just put all the BBC stuff out when the first BBC album was released in 1994. I don't know if I will grab the first volume again or not. Some say the re-mastering sounds better. Times change:

I just ordered it yesterday. According to a RS interview with David, there is a great 1971 show among the tapes they received from MG.

Non-Fiction is one of my favorite songs of all times. I got to see them do it on SNL (on TV that is) back in the day. At the time, it was unreleased. Even then, it caught my attention.

I think Amorica/Tall Sessions/the bootleg stuff they didn't put out from those sessions is still my favorite music from the band.

I was thinking that was the guitar Ramrod's family sold after he died. Maybe not.

I was reading the comments and noticed that people have already received it. I wonder how Mountain Girl ended up with those tapes? I take it they must have been with some of Jerry's stuff that she ended up with.

That is pretty cool. I don't know that I much cared for Luther at first - but I grew to like his contributions. The show that was briefly out there was 02/21/2009. I am grabbing some more shows from this tour - and then I will listen to them at some point. I did listen to the 10-18-2013 show last weekend.

I recall an interview somewhere where Jeff or Jay mentioned a live album that was put together but never released.

The order page for the cd is up now: Family Dog at the Great Highway, San Francisco, CA 4/18/70 CD.

The cd was re-issued in 2003. You must be thinking of the vinyl re-issue.

I don't know if I want to buy it for a third time or not. I have all those bonus tracks. I suppose if I buy this one, it will be for the liner notes and improved sound quality of the bonus tracks.

Stream of the re-issues: Dive into the genesis of alt-country with a stream of the new reissues of The Bottle Rockets' first two records (A.V. Club).

I am not really interested in anything past 1973 or thereabouts. Except for maybe a couple of bands - I don't do the completest thing anymore. I am buying the release at the end of the month - because it is acoustic stuff. You can't argue with this: I would not call myself a deadhead. I just enjoy listening to the Grateful Dead from time to time.

It sounds as if Paul is retiring. I wonder how long it has been since they have recorded an album in this country? I just hope the album is not the "dance/techno" album they talked about making.

From Billboard (U2 Album Slated for Early 2014 Release):

Tell us more about the show. One of those shows appeared at bt.etree.org for a brief time. It got taken down of course, and the band did not allow their recordings to be up there for a while.

For those of you who may be bummed about the SBD shows being blocked at Archive.org. You can find just about every SBD there is at bt.etree.org. I have not bought a GD cd in a long time - but I will be getting that acoustic release coming out at the end of the month.

I am really into the songs: Appaloosa, A Train Still Makes a Lonely Sound, and Houston Don't Dream About Me. You may also want to check out the dvd - Cabin Fever.

I may be the opposite - I prefer the voice now. At least - I don't miss the "screaming in the microphone" vocals of the olden days. I have to say that Before The Frost. . .Until The Freeze is one of the best albums they ever made. I am guilty of not much caring for a band once their sound changes, but with the Black Crowes, I think it is alright.

I think you can see the taper at various times during the film.
