Mr. Heartbreak Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I thought I heard that was edited out a bit more than the widely circulated bootleg -- though he is still in there quite a bit.I can live without seeing much of him. Boy, this audio reminds you of what terrible parents some of these hippies were. "There's a bunch of kids in the Kiddie Tent crying for their parents" or whatever. Jesus.

mountain bed Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Throughout my life I have avoided the Dead because I heard them as a kid and they bored me. I'm 53 now and have recently decided to give them a shot. Heard the pyramids set and was pleasantly surprised. Next up is the Europe 72 set and if I like that I will try another. I'll be taking my time though , no need to rush these things.The great thing (imo) is there's something for everybody. Name your musical likes (or dislikes) and we'll be glad to steer ya in the right direction. Link to post Share on other sites

I've always liked 35 year old rockers who wear pastel colored polo shirts and too-short cut off shorts...which era would cater to that? Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Not sure if the below was posted before -- nice, long interview with Hunter --- it would be fun to watch a Nine Inch Nails concert with Hunter. http://itrandomtime.blogspot.com/2013/09/an-interview-with-robert-hunter.html?spref=fb Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 That one seems more in depth than the Relix interview. I don't see how he could like that music, but, people like what they like. Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Here is where I am starting if I like it enough I will dive deeper: EgyptEurope 72 vol I & IINormal IL 1978 - a few month before I started school thereAndSunshine daydream 1972 It's all 70's so if it works ill branch out Link to post Share on other sites

The boys did not want to release it because Keith's piano was out of tune...From what I've heard, I have to agree Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 My ears are out of tune so I don't hear thing like that. I already have all of the above and working through it now. Why no pigpen on the Sunshine Daydream? I thought he was still with them at this point, I apparently was mistaken. Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Egypt would not be on my list of shows to recommend. Other than that, your list looks good, can't go wrong with '72, but I would be remiss if I didn't strongly encourage at least one May '77 show. Required listening. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Pigpen's last show was Hollywood Bowl, in June of '72. The Veneta show was in August. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I considered hitting the L.A. Greeks (Furthur) with my buddy this past weekend but couldn't swing it. He sent me a photo yesterday of him and Bill Walton hanging out. It's not hard to miss Bill in a crowd. Link to post Share on other sites

That Saturday (10/5) show looks great - looks like Neal Casal and Jonathon Wilson (separately) sat in -- probably will grab it if it pops up somewhere. Would you know if Casal played the Wolf guitar, by chance? Link to post Share on other sites

Great selection of tunes, mostly shorter in length (save for the Other One which takes up side 2). 1971 is a great year to get a newb interested imo. Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'm guessing Casal didn't play it. The show is up on the archive. http://archive.org/details/furthur2013-10-05.mk41_flac24 Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Hunter sat in on Buddy Miller & Jim Lauderdale's XM radio show this past week. Hunter and Lauderdale write together -- it was a pleasant 2 hour show. Hunter played the way he originally wrote Black Peter's melody with his words ---- it was a "happy song about a person dying", which of course Jerry change into a "slow, sad song about a person dying"---- thank god, because Hunter's original pretty much sucked. The original China Cat melody wasn't too good, either --- of course he praised Garcia for his song/melody writing ability. Link to post Share on other sites

If I remember correctly, someone on dead.net guessed this pick in the comments section for Dave's Pick Vol. 7, but of course, those comments are all gone now. I wonder what they said? I am not familiar with this show, but look forward to receiving it. Link to post Share on other sites
