roadhse ma Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Caught Dead and Company twice last week in Boston.Here's my .02 from Last Sunday Night Dead and Company - Boston N - 2Good Show Balanced setlist between Radio Classics from back in the 60s & 70s to deeper cuts.I need a Miracle Everyday was one of those GD AOR hits off Shakedown Street in the 70s that got huge reception.Dire Wolf one of Jerry's best songs imho, it was one of the deeper cuts and Mayer did a decent job covering it, and it was warmly received. Other standouts were Playing in the Band, Morning Dew and a singalong & energetic Casey Jones. Thankful that I saw the real deal of the original GD . But also thankful ive seem every incarnation since. Never have I had a bad night. This group has talent,gas in the tank,and plenty to drive it with. Here's hoping there are many more miles to go.Oteil is playing well and sings more than before, doing both well. Bob Weir is looking healthy again, and bringing renewed energy. I will continue to go along to their shows, and enjoy the ride. Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Tonight I'm going to watch the documentary of the concert the Grateful Dead (smartly) backed out of, 48 years ago today. Who's fighting and what for?! Always enjoyed the footage from Muscle Shoals -- wish they would have made a whole documentary of those sessions. Stones hanging in Alabama in 1969 - what a concept. I didn't realize the sessions were so close to the Altamont dates. From hanging in Alabama (and two days later) to Altamont - only in America. The Rolling Stones went to Alabama in December 1969 and recorded three songs that evoked the country, blues and R&B sound of the region. Over three days -- from Dec. 2-4 -- the Stones put down the basic tracks and live vocals on "Brown Sugar," "Wild Horses" and "You Gotta Move" at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Sheffield, Ala.

Mr. Heartbreak Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 It is pretty cool that Bobby is able to keep a toe in each pond. Definitely will try for Chicago show. https://www.relix.com/news/detail/bob_weir_and_phil_lesh_announce_first_ever_duo_tour_in_2018 I think I know exactly how that conversation went. Bobby: Hey man, why don't you and me go out and do a few shows? Phil: You mean just the two of us? Bobby: Yeah, like I did with Wasserman back in the 80s. Phil: You know I don't travel much anymore. Where would these be? Bobby: Well, I wanna be able to do Truckin' again, so maybe hit those towns that get the big shoutout... Phil: Remind me again? Bobby: "Chicago, New York..." Phil: "Detroit?" Bobby: Well, okay not Detroit. How about a couple in Boston? Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 C'mon, we all know Bob would have messed up the lyrics to Truckin, even in that brief conversation. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Ha! I was hoping that tickets were not going to be too pricey. $79.50 - $159.50 for the Chicago shows - that is a bit of a bummer. Listening to 12/12/80 show this a.m. - don't think I ever listened to this one before - pretty hot show. Link to post Share on other sites

jw harding Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Catch a "There is a Mountain" (Donovan) tease in "China Cat"?Didn't know they continued to tease that song outside of the 60's. First tease occurred about a month after Donovan released the song, at the Hollywood Bowl in 1967, I believe. That tease predates Herbie Mann's instrumental cover and of course the Allman's version as well. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Not familiar enough to that Donovan tune - so I didn't catch it - need to re-listen. Now onto 12/13/80 -- another good one - looks like I need to revisit 12/80, seems like they were playing well. Link to post Share on other sites
