I've heard some of the Rolling Thunder sessions and bits and pieces from his barn hiatus stuff. I used to have the album Rolling Thunder on vinyl and it had Garcia, Weir, Lesh, Steven Stills, Tower of Power horns, Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, Zakir Hussain, and a slew of others adding to it. It also featured "The Pump Song" which became "Greatest Story" but was set to a water pump on his property. "Playing in the Band" is on there, as well.

 

Quite a good album, for the most part.

I agree. It's a quirky as hell effort, but some cool tunes - Blind John and Hangin' On in particular are very good. And of course there's a lot of Hart-weirdness, from the opening invocation (by tribal chief Rolling Thunder himself) to the "noise" tracks.

> Mickey's Barn, Novato, Ca

 

This reminds me, I recall having a tape of a Barn Session with I think Hart and Garcia, maybe Lesh

as well but had Crosby and possibly another early Bay Area guitar player on the recording.

 

I remember it being really bluesy, extended jams.

 

Anyone?

I remeber hearing the Croby and Garcia stuff but that's about it. Pretty muddy recording that I recall. Mostly goofing around jamming stuff, too.

I always loved that show. The recording is somewhat skeevy but there are some nice takes on tunes that eventually appeared on David's 1st solo LP (a personal favorite).

Ok, had a minute to google around. Found what I remembered.

Good Stuff here:

A fascinating artifact, this AUD recording was recorded with Mickey, Phil, Jerry, Bob, David Crosby and John Cippolina. Read the text file for more info. These jams are quite melodic and exploratory, especially on the half-hour Wall Song. Unfortunately, the taper often stopped and started the recording between songs which is sorta annoying as there is an almost total lack of chatter that might have been interesting. That said, the quality of the AUD is very decent. I'm just glad someone captured this at all.

BTW, the name of the final Tuning jam is the old J.P. Sousa march Stars & Stripes Forever

That's cool that Lemieux busted out 4/6/82 - I was thinking of posting the setlist from that show today. It's one of my favorites from Spring '82.

 

AND, man, how cool would it be to be at one of these shows and get a minute or two to talk with David and pick his brain? Awesome.

 

Since today's the 40th anniversary of 4/6/69 may I suggest busting out the tapes from that show? The "Other One" from that night is a psychedelic steamroller! :worship
