mountain bed Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Nice selection of tunes last night. From "everybody's dancin' in the streets" to "the first days are the hardest days". Throw in some oratory from Joe at the break and I'd have thought I died and went to heaven. Link to post Share on other sites

Throw in some oratory from Joe at the break and I'd have thought I died and went to heaven. Are we talking about the same Joe Biden? You know good ol' joe drug warrior biden, mr. mandatory minimum sentences, mr.crack a bigger offense then cocaine biden? I can't think how many dead heads have gone to jail due to his idea of a sane drug policy. I will say hilarious to see phil and bobby in penguin suits. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Nice selection of tunes last night. From "everybody's dancin' in the streets" to "the first days are the hardest days". Throw in some oratory from Joe at the break and I'd have thought I died and went to heaven. It was a bit interesting to me that the Obama's first dance song at these balls was to Etta James' song "At Last".Must admit Beyonce performance with the Obama's dancing was pretty cool. (Is Etta James still performing? Although Beyonce did a great job, why didn't James perform it?) But At the Mid Atlantic gig, the Dead should have been asked to play it while the First couple danced, since the Etta performed with the Grateful Dead in the early 80's (82 new year i believe?). I just streamed it off of Archive a few weeks ago, I never heard it before. It sounded like Etta was having fun on stage with them. Any way hopefully the full Mid Atlantic show appears sometime.

nettles Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Anyone have Jerry G box set 'all good things' box set? Just stumbled across it, didn't know they reissued all the solo records, and with what appears to be A LOT of bonus material. Have reflections, on vinyl, but that's all my solo jerry. Also, who's going to see the dead in philly? I haven't seen a dead related show since RFK 93 I believe, and am thinking should leave it be, but what fun to sit in the lot and strum dead tunes on my guitar again Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 The box set is excellent. The albums have always been solid, for the most part, but the bonus material is where it's at. I listen to that stuff way more than the albums. Link to post Share on other sites

I've never seen that. I was just reading about the "Freakin' Girl" in the The Taper's Book. I wonder what the story is behind this interview - I'd like to know. Some clips from the Mid-Atlantic Ball.

Analogman Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Link January 26- February 1, 2009 Tapers Section By David Lemieux As we close out January here at the Tapers' Section, we're going to listen to quite a bit of music from 1978, but we'll start our week from 12 years before that. Our first selection this week is from a tape marked simply Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I find it rather odd that David would consider 2/5/78 as the cut-off point between '77 and '78. In my mind Spring '77 stands alone as a version of the GD. Fall '77 through Summer '78 is a very much more harder edged, rockin' band (with a lot more distortion than usual) - but directly after Egypt the band seemed to get MUCH more jazzy (which carried over to the early Brent years). Jerry's tone post-Egypt became much cleaner, more "pinched", if you will...and the band as a whole sounded much looser than the more 'in yer face' style they had going 9/77-9/78. I guess everyone has their own take on this. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 2/1 is my birthday - that was sort of cool to hear that. What an odd mix though - 1966 stuff (the year I was born) and then, 1978 stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
dmait Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 That's an interesting take on '77-78, Mountain. I'd never thought of post-Egypt in those terms. My favorite period is '73-74 (which you could likely dissect into microperiods) because of the jazziness that Keith brought to the band, so I'll have to pay closer attention to the post-Egypt '78.

Analogman Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 David Gans just posted the transcript of a 1991 Healy interview up on his blog. GD Hour #130 was posted recently on DeadNet (we post a show from the GDH archives every Wednesday). And just now I stumbled across a transcript of the KPFA show from which the GDH broadcast was excerpted. My guest was Dan Healy, who was at that time the sound man for the Grateful Dead.

Lammycat Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Which reminds me:Charlie Miller has a few down-loadable aud. re-mixes that are really quite good (as would anything musically be with his name attached to it). I was unaware that he went that route (outside of the sbds/matrix stuff) until a few days ago poking around on there. I dl'ed 4-5 shows of his and they're all excellent aud. quality.
