jc4prez Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 List of past Halloween shows Dick's Picks #2 was the first Dick's Picks I ever bought. According to the Taper's book, the jam about 12 minutes in, is called the Tighten Up Jam (due to the fact it sounds like the Archie Bell and The Dells song). I have always rather liked that jam. That Dicks Picks is great. Loved the jam out of goin' down the road. Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 10/27/73 - State Fair Coliseum, Indianapoils IN I: Promised, Sugaree, Mexicali, Loser, BT Wind, TLEO, Jack Straw, Ramble On, El Paso, BE Women, Greatest, Loose Lucy, BIODTL, China > Rider II: Me & My Uncle, Bertha, Bobby McGee, T Jed, Playin' > Half-Step > Big River > Playin', He's Gone > Truckin' > Nobody's Jam > Wharf Rat > Stella, Sugar Mag E:UJB 35 years ago today - the first time the band hit the Indy area, beginning a long romance with the Hoosier state. Two of my oldest and dearest friends (Jack and Tom) were at this show - the same guys who drug me to my first show 8 years later. Set 1 is standard for the time - but check out the slowest, grungiest "Lucy" ever. It's my favorite version of this tune. The Playin' sandwich in set 2 is the heat. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 I have thought of this question from time to time - and thought of it again last night when I was reading about Mickey's unreleased solo album. What did he do to earn a living when he left the band? I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Didn't he record Rolling Thunder during that time? It was only a couple of years.... Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 In the Taper's book I have - the first volume, (which ends in 1974) there are some entries for various sessions and they are all marked as unreleased. I think. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 It's very likely the Dead kept him on the payroll. Their payroll system (esp. in the early days) was pretty communal. This is just a guess on my part. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Interesting - even though his Dad took off with a bunch of their money. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I'd be willing to bet he was on the payroll, too, even though I think they were all pretty broke around then (no thanks to Lenny Hart). I remember reading that none of them blamed Mickey but he needed the space anyway because of the embarrassment, etc. "He's Gone" was written for that rat, too. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Interesting - even though his Dad took off with a bunch of their money. Yeah, from what I read, Mickey took it the hardest (and rightly so). Again this is just speculation on my part, but honestly I can see them keeping him on the payroll. I think he had a studio at his ranch/barn where the rest of the band rehearsed and recorded during this time. The Band might of paid him for this... Plus the the rest of the guy's never blamed Mickey for his dad's activities. Link to post Share on other sites

Most of them played on Rolling Thunder, too. I think a few of them were living out there with him, as well. Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 As for Mick's cash flow from '71-'74 I always just assumed he was involved with The Brotherhood of Divine Love. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 What is that about? Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 What is that about?Well, the Brotherhood was a collective that was responsible for millions of hits of orange sunshine (along with tons of hashish) reaching the streets from coast to coast in the early-mid '70s. I was being silly - but there is a very good book Acid Dreams by Martin Lee that examines in depth the connection between LSD, the counterculture, politics and music.
