Lammycat Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I just saw a few secs of a clip someone did with Bob singing Cassidy in Barlow's wake. And what seems like a lot of people filming with their phones . Depressing.Just watched that, too. Looks to be in Barlow's home. Apparently it was put up on the Ratdog Tour page....

jw harding Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I did not watch the Barlow wake, but did accidentally stumble across a picture of the scene online. Sad. I'd imagine those that did watch will be reminded of it every time they hear Cassidy, so good luck with that. Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 For some reason, that picture freaked me out a bit. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I managed not to see or watch any of the Barlow wake stuff - which is a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 For some reason, that picture freaked me out a bit.Yeah. However people want to grieve is ok by me, but I really didn't want to watch that. Open caskets, kissing the dead goodbye...I don't do that. It just strikes me as sort of weird. But if one feels the need to see/touch the deceased then by all means do what you have to do. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I happened to land on Antiques Road Show the other night and some guy had a New Orleans Pop Festival poster on there. I guess it is sort of a forgotten festival. It was a couple of weeks after Woodstock. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 I'd forgotten about this: In '86 the GD did version of "That's Alright, Mama" with an intro of "Since My Baby Left Me," (same covered artist, Arthur Crudup). Not quite a JGB version, but cool none the less: https://archive.org/details/gd1986-04-18.sbd.miller.34762.sbeok.flac16/gd86-04-18d1t10.flac Link to post Share on other sites
winterland121072 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Anyone have the actual cds or flacs for Dave's Picks Vol. 6 (02 February 1970)? I'm looking to pull the .wav files. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Herad;s up: Ticketmaster is currently selling tix to Bob and Phil at RCMH tonight and tomorrow, as well as BOS and CHI tickets. A re-release, I guess.... Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Phil and Bob did Operator. I wonder how long it's been since that song was played. Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Phil and Bob did Operator. I wonder how long it's been since that song was played.I don't know if Phil & Friends have ever done it but it was played just 4-5 times with Pig, all in Fall '70. I watched the one from the other night, and it wasn't too shabby. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 They also did Mountains of The Moon. I have been into Easy Wind from that TV show Calibration as of late. Link to post Share on other sites

Shug Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I have been into Easy Wind from that TV show Calibration as of late. I never get tired of it! I think its one of the finest GD live performances of all time and certainly one of the best Bob Weir guitar performances, its almost like he is a second lead guitarist. Pig is SMOKIN'!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ozp2P_ENBo Too bad about the announcer talking over the music, though. I sure would like to edit that out if it were possible.

jw harding Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Saw acoustic Hot Tuna do Operator a few years back. Think Jorma covered it on a recent album. So, kinda similar to the Bob and Phil thing. Tuna's version made me realize that the music to Operator is basically a rip off musically of Fishin Blues, the traditional popularized by Taj Mahal. Listen and compare. Have enjoyed the Phil and Bob stuff a lot so far, nice review in Rolling Stone that captures the magic and misses pretty well. Think the set with Trey finally delivered on the hope that never came through at Fare Thee Well. When they opened up that Jack Straw, I felt a tingle go up my leg. Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I enjoyed it, even if some of it was sloppy ("Cassidy," comes to mind). This is from RCMH, btw The Wheel was a bit of a train wreck, too, with Trey's vocal flub. Thought it sound good overall, though. Has Phil or Bobby played there, since 80? I think the 80 run was the only time the Dead played there. Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Definitely some sloppy unpracticed parts, but still really like the performance. Nice vibe. Liked it enough to snatch a ticket for this Thursday. Link to post Share on other sites

jw harding Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Pretty sure there was a Furthur show or two at RCMH. I recall some show a few years back where Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, and Larry Campbell sat in for a song or two. Maybe that was somewhere else? Agreed on the rough spots during these shows, particularly with the vocals, but they have been more endearing than detracting. They started to flub the second verse of Dark Star, but Bob had a nice recovery and made a change that seemed to suit the psychedelic non-linear nature of the tune. Also don't particularly enjoy Bob singing the big Jerry ballads, but liked that Standing on the Moon. The echo effect on his vocal worked well, rather than him attempting to emulate Jerry's howls. Think Trey sang that at Fare Thee Well, but glad Bob took it. Link to post Share on other sites
