NightOfJoy Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 There's something about just Billy as the sole drummer and the snap of his swingin' beat from that era that works really well for Eyes then, too. The era when just Billy is drumming is fantastic. That dude is one hell of a drummer. Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 What the hell kind of bass is that? It looks like something Les Claypool would play. Link to post Share on other sites
dmait Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 >I did notice whenever there was a big change in the direction of the music coming Phil would speak into his microphone (as he does with P&F) and then the chords/tempo would change. It's fascinating to watch Phil direct the band through the silent microphone. I'd love to hear a SBD recording of a Phil show that includes Phil's comments to the band. In an interview a while back, Larry Campbell said he was waiting for a cue from Phil during a jam and Phil's guidance was something like, "We're all afloat at sea." Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 It's funny, in that gear book, the phrase "some roadies closet" is used more than once - one of which, is Phil talking about a Fender Jazz Bass that he had, and that disappeared. Link to post Share on other sites

Moe_Syzlak Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 That makes me think of those scanner tapes that I have read about.I think I've posted about here before, but I've heard (but no longer own) the monitor mix for the Deer Creek show where there had been a death threat against Jerry. It is definitely interesting to hear the banter and dark humor amongst the band members. I don't recall any cues during the jams though. Link to post Share on other sites
jc4prez Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 It has L.E.D. lights on the frets. Looks really cool when they play with little lighting. Is it just me or does this bass not have as much well bass to it. When phil drops a bomb with it, it doesn't seem as earth shattering. But then again maybe the lights had me distracted. And as for Jackie Greene, go home already. I was just listening to the soundboard form the warfeild and it sounds like he just drags. I've seen five shows with him three were great, one of the others was the worst phil show i've seen. Nice voice, but he songs add nothing to the mix (unlike the ryan adams material), and his guitar playing doesn't go anywhere. I think I've posted about here before, but I've heard (but no longer own) the monitor mix for the Deer Creek show where there had been a death threat against Jerry.

The cue thing is a phil and friends deal, the dead didn't need that inspiration. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Jackie has plenty of talent and he's come a long way with the band in the past year. I don't think he hampers the others. Ryan Adams with the band was another issue. I don't think it was a good fit although I appreciated the fact that it was off-the-cuff and raw and all. Link to post Share on other sites

Jackie is a good rock guitarist but he doesn't add much, even though the dead psu show was sloppy bobby is way more interesting on rhythm. Plus I think Larry needs someone stronger to play off of, the band sounded so much better with Sless and Scofeild. Ryan Adams I thought was lacking with phil but I think the songs of his that phil picked up sound great in a phil set, where as the jackie material doesn't go anywhere. At june chicago phil show his Riot In Cell Block #9 was the first time I thought one of his songs fit in and actually added to the set. As for the comments about the cues, I was referring to how Phil now guides his bands throughout the set, phil wasn't doing this with the dead. Link to post Share on other sites

Also agree with the RA assessment. It was an interesting collaboration but it didn't really work for me. Got'cha on the "cues," too. I think I misunderstood your intent.

mountain bed Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I hope we all agree on one thing: the uber P&F lineup was the one with Herring and Haynes. that lineup during '01 was one of the best bands I've ever seen - any style, anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites

I am an unapologetic Jerry fan though and have a hard time appreciating hearing anyone play that music without him. Link to post Share on other sites

Recommend a few sbds to check out, I never really have dug through the solo shows (that is until I started seeing phil). Personnaly I really liked the sless/cambell/osby/bracco/molo lineup.

Personnaly I really liked the sless/cambell/osby/bracco/molo lineup.Well, the 7/15/01 is a very special show to me for a number of reasons (the second set in particular is very hot - Stronger Than Dirt!, and 11/10/01 (the night Ken Kesey died) is a pretty dark and powerful show. 12/31 with the 'reunion' is a good one. None of these circulate as SBDs to my knowledge, but I'm probably wrong. The AUDs I have are very sweet though. Link to post Share on other sites
