Lammycat Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Great story Paul B. I have some really great photos from Alpine '88 (from the lot) - if I can get my kid to use her scanner sometime I'll post 'em up here. See if you can follow this: I met up with some dudes at the '88 Alpine shows (I'd never met them before) and they were staying at a really nice place by a lake about 15 min. or so outside the venue. They let me shower and swim and hang out with comped drinks and other comped things for the day off between shows. Super nice guys. Turns out they were great friends with a chick I went to college with (I didn't find this out until 3 mo. later when I started dating her and she recognized me from a photo one of the dudes took of me). I dated that girl for 7 years. We went to the one of the guy's wedding in NY a year or so after the Alpine show. Turns out that that fellow died in a car accident on his anniversary a year later. His widow re-married a guy who is brothers with my wife's ex-long-term boyfriend. What a tangled web we weave.... Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 1991 this week -You might be able to pull a show from '92-'95 that would be a convincing argument that the Dead still had it (6/28/92 comes to mind immediately), but for my money, '91 is the last year where things were pretty consistently good - no small part due to Bruce being there most of the time. I remember how excited I was to see a grand piano onstage for the first time ( never saw Kieth and Donna..sigh..). The shit was real real good - so much so that I ended up going WAY past where I had planned to go on the Summer '91 tour. Those little sub-groupings pre-and-post-space ( Bruce, Bobby and Phil - Bruce, Vince and Jerry etc.) had some pretty jaw-dropping improvs on occasion. Of course that was all gone by the end of the year. Link to post Share on other sites
nettles Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Just listening to the Jerry and John Kahn at Oregon State Prison, anyone know the story behind that? Did they just do the Johnny Cash book a gig at a Prison, or where they incarcerated? Link to post Share on other sites

seeyatonite Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 So many great memories of so many shows. My span of seeing shows what late 70s to mid 90s. Near the end the wheels were falling off, but every once in a while, on a pretty summer night, in an outdoor venue, Jerrys voice and guitar would ring out so sweetly that it was magic. There are many great artists but Jerry was special. Someone said he had a heart of music.I cried when he died and I miss him to this day. Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 What's the scoop on the Duane show? You know, some years ago, that dude that works for The Allman Brothers (Kirk?) said in an interview that there was going to be a Duane boxset and that the show he sat in with the Dead would be on it. ABB Announces Dates For May Mishegas As we reported last week, the slightly-delayed but much-anticipated Allman Brothers Band shows will indeed take place at New York's Beacon Theater in 2008. The group has confirmed fifteen dates from May 5th through the 24th. The group will perform five days a week during this stretch, taking off Wednesday and Sundays. The complete list of performances (thus far) are: May 5,6, 8-10, 12,13, 15-17, 19, 20 and 22-24, with tickets set to go on sale Saturday February 9th. Link to post Share on other sites

I do have that on k-sette. I was thinking that those tunes were a possibility for the Ladies and Gentlemen set but there were some legal ramifications with Duane's estate. I will see if I can locate the info. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Maybe they are still going to put it out - I think it is in an old Hittin' The Note that I have where that dude talks about a Duane boxset and archival releases - they have put a few of those out since then.

quarter23cd Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I would definitely love to hear that set with Duane sitting in. Off topic, but I wish the Allmans would put out a few more archive recordings. A few have started to trickle out (I particularly like that Stony Brook one from a month or so before Duane died), but there has got to be a ton of great stuff somewhere out there. Maybe its hard to package/market some of it because I've heard a few boots from '71 and they all have a pretty much identical setlist to the Live at the Fillmore album--guess they weren't too into mixing up the setlists--but, hey, all Duane is good Duane to me. Hearing him trading licks with Jerry would be fun. Link to post Share on other sites
