darkstar Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 When I saw the Moo-Cow I immediately thought of the chick in The Grateful Dead Movie they show doing her "Whooo-Whooo" noises. Watching the various people they filmed during that run never fails to crack me up. Wish I couldda been there in those days...... Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 I thought it would be cool when the film got re-released a few years ago if they tracked some of those dudes down, (like the guys who made the bet for example) interviewed them, and put the interview on the dvd as an easter egg.

nettles Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 That's some funny shit, the moocow lady, and the chicklets dude. My friends and I joked on the same characters, but I guess everyone did. I think the movie captured it, grateful dead show is the best party on earth, if your a rocknroll fan.

mountain bed Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 LinkBefore I ever got my first live GD cassettes I bought an actual bootleg LP at a record collector's convention. Very early '80s. The first two sides were the acoustic set from 5/2/70. The second LP was 12/5/71 - just first set material, mostly minty-fresh tunes from the last 6 weeks (Mexicali, Comes a Time, etc..). But there was one tune on there that I later found out was a once-only version "(I Washed My Hands In) Muddy Water". I don't know the background of the song, but it's very gospel in feel and execution. Too bad it didn't show up in those acoustic sets with Marmaduke & Nelson. Link to post Share on other sites

I know The Stanley Brothers recorded "Jordan" which is basically the same (lyrically) as "Cold Jordan," and " And We Bid You Goodnight" I believe has pretty old folk/ Bluegrass roots, as well.

mountain bed Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 12/6/73 - Convention Center, Cleveland OH I: Bertha, Mexicali, Loser, BT Wind, TLEO, BIODTL, Deal, El Paso, Row Jimmy, Greatest, China > Rider, Around II: Ramble On, Me & My Uncle, HC Sunshine, Big River, Dark Star > Eyes > Stella > Sugar Mag Yes, we've probably discussed this show before. At least the Dark Star. But I can't let the date pass by without mentioning how seriously mind blowing this one is. At nearly 43 minutes it's (as far as I know) the second-longest on record (with 5/11/72 taking the honors at 48 minutes). But this is no boring coasting - there are many things to this Star that stand out. First off, Keith is very prominent in the mix and really takes over a few times. Second, Phil is still on a major wave of inspiration that is reminiscent of his madness from the Playin' of 12/2 (DP #14). He's operating on a whole new plane here - it's easy to forget what bass playing is supposed to sound like, or even music itself for that matter. I've always been a very vocal proponent of the 6/10/73 Star but this one has many of the elements of that version, PLUS it's extended for an additional 20 minutes! It leads into another killer Eyes that has all the hallmarks of the '73 sound - relaxed, jazzy as hell, and very spaced out. Please please check this one out my brothers if you've not heard it before. After all, it's only an hour of your life... Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I've been listening to ^ a bunch of late and I need to add, in addition to mb's notes above, that the HC Sunshine is phenomenal, as well. I believe it's just over 15 min. and gets pretty "out there" in a very nice way. Some great textures laid down from all sides of the stage in it. The transiition ("Feelin' Groovy Jam") between China-Rider is smooth as silk, too. ed. Also of note: no Donna (maternity leave)! Link to post Share on other sites

Also of note: no Donna (maternity leave)!I'll go ahead and say it - HC Sunshine probably shouldn't have been reintroduced to the rotation. I LOVE this song in its original construction. Every version I've heard from '73 is wonderful. When it came back out ('92? '93?) it just did nothing for me - aside from the vocal harmonies being great the lack of a jam was a big bring down for me. I saw a half-dozen or so of the latter takes and generally it was a ho-hum affair. Link to post Share on other sites
dmait Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 >New Road Trips! (Sep. 1990 - MSG) That's going to be huge. That was a mammoth run, with the band working Bruce Hornsby (and unfortunately Vince Welnick) into the fold. I was at 5 of the 6 shows and had tapes of all from a friend who taped them, but it will be nice to hear these in crisp quality. 9/20/90 is an all-time great. Link to post Share on other sites
