mountain bed Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I was listening to Ladies and Gentlemen on my commute this morning. That 4 night run at the Fillmore represents the very best of Pig and the band as a whole during that era. April 28 and April 29 were among the very first cassettes I got way back in the day in college in mid-70's. The Dark Star > St. Stephen > NFA > GDTRFB > NFA sequence of April 28 has always been among my absolute favorite Dead jams of any era. If anyone has not properly listened to that, I suggest you drop everything and give it a spin!Hell yes - Tom Constanten sits in! Those shows were a few of my first tapes as well.

Lammycat Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Ditto on some of my first tapes. Felt Forum shows, too, from Dec. Bobby losing his voice on the NFA screams at the end of the tune= awesomeness. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 "Clementine Jam" (studio jam 8/13/68) (Grateful Dead) – 10:46 "Nobody's Spoonful Jam" (studio jam 8/13/68) (Grateful Dead) – 10:04 "The Eleven Jam" (studio jam 8/13/68) (Grateful Dead) - 15:00That has become some of my favorite Dead music. I was so surprised when I first heard it...like, Where has this stuff been? But I realized it was strictly in-studio stuff without vocals, so of course it hadn't been put on an official release...Best bonus tracks ever! Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 I agree. I recall reading somewhere that those tapes were found after the work was finished on Aoxomoxoa for the boxset. So they went back and added those on as bonus tracks. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Wow. One man's afterthought is another man's gold. Glad they found those.On the other hand, the bonus tracks on American Beauty and Workingman's were surprisingly so-so. I guess there was nothing anywhere near as stellar to draw from, compared to the original releases.I sort of wish there were some cool bonus tracks on the Beatles mono box set, but I guess that is a topic for a different thread....

I've always liked that version of Dire Wolf with Bob singing lead. And Jerry on the pedal steel. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I've always liked that version of Dire Wolf with Bob singing lead. And Jerry on the pedal steel.Oh yeah, that one is very cool. I was thinking more of the off-key/out-of-tune vocals on some of the other tracks. Reminded me, unfortunately, of some of the tracks on many of the Dick's Picks and Dave's Picks releases.

I guess there was nothing anywhere near as stellar to draw from, compared to the original releases. My favorite thing about the box was the live tracks that were used to fill out the CDs. Stuff like "Operator" and "Till The Morning Comes" were certainly a bit rough, but given the rarity of some of the tunes it was a welcome addition. Link to post Share on other sites

I just heard on Tales on the Golden Road Radio show that Weir is going to take Weir Here on the road (towards the end of the year). Below is a link to the Tales' shows, in case you do not have XM/Sirius. Weir talks about it on the 4.21.13 show. http://www.talesfromthegoldenroad.com/ Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 ive been wondering if there is any "pro shot" or even half decent footage of JGB?Especially from those bar shows back in the 70s.

Lammycat Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Can't see the clip right now but was following it on fb/stream last night. He was pretty out of it. Pain meds, maybe, due to hurt shoulder or something like that. Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fu7rugK4vJE# should the band have stopped playing?IMO no. I thought the band acted professionally in what must have been a confusing and scary situation. "The band keeps playin' on". That's what they do. Hey, there were death threats against Garcia at Deer Creek, and the damn fence was torn down from a riot, they went on and played. Bobby is certainly no stranger to drugs and alcohol, and it saddens me greatly to think he was not together last night. Something is definitely wrong here, and there's no way you can spin this one. Let's give the man some vibes, OK? He's given us a lifetime of good music and good times. And don't go hatin' on Phil, either. Let's get some more information. Link to post Share on other sites
