Couch tour'd this weekend - My buddy went to Boulder for both Dead & Co shows and yesterday facetime'd me as he smoked a j and walked across the venue's campus. Helped me feel like I was there. I really, really dig Foolish Heart and I'm happy to see it debuted last night. Those are two of the strongest shows I can remember from them in quite some time.

This matrix of the June 20, 1980 show in Anchorage is great, in terms of sound and performances. I even didn’t skip Easy To Love You on this show!

Welp - Billy sat out set two last night due to a pulled muscle and Jay Lane sat in. Confirmed that Jay Lane is on retainer and just hanging out with them for the whole tour

Over the course of the summer Dead and Co slowly morph into Sausage. Or, Oteil picks up an electric upright and they become Ratdog and Co, and nobody is happy. BigFactory fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Jun 23, 2022 |

Great recommendation for the Alaska shows. All three are great and each show is slightly better than the previous night.

This week in 1974 was a great one for fans of the Grateful Dead's bassist Phil Lesh's experimental performances with their modular synth playing compatriot Ned Lagin

They get a modular synth involved?? I have to hear this! I've been enjoying cover band Grateful Shred on YouTube lately because of their simple, smooth vocal harmonies. Does anybody else have a good cover band to recommend?

Does anybody else have a good cover band to recommend? if you get a chance to see them definitely do it. The harmonies sound even better live and, at least a couple years ago, they’d play small-to-medium sized clubs which is imo the best type of venue for rock music No other strong recs but I read that Dave Longstreth’s (of the dirty projectors) brother is/was in a dead cover band. Searched and found this channel, has a set from the Hollywood bowl. Pretty dece https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPq7yc7JZyA

Went to the Hartford Dead & Co show - while I'm pissed that I left with a 4 hour buffer before the show I didn't get to my seat until 8:30 and I missed the first 2.5 songs, that second set absolutely made up for it. Jack Straw all the way to D/S was spectacular and full of good moments. Jay Lane really seems to be getting comfortable in this band now.

I watched streams of both shows last weekend, they were definitely playing at much higher tempos with Jay compared to when I saw them with Bill in the chair a couple weeks ago.

The Crimson White & Indigo show today in 1989 is a great one. Killer versions of Loser, Let It Grow, Scarlet/Fire, Estimated Prophet, The Other One > Wharf Rat. I am still a novice on stuff past 1982, but this is a great show. I've come to really appreciate Brent on keys but still don't care for his songs/lead vocals, but this Blow Away is so ludicrously unhinged, I dig it (Jerry solos his rear end off on it too tbh). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHU5FywUBEk

John and Bobby did a pretty good acoustic show at Pine Creek Lodge. There's some shaky YouTube video or you can get the show on nugs. Setlist was: Friend of the Devil Bertha Loser Brown-Eyed Women El Paso Cassidy Bird Song Uncle John's Band Jack Straw Deal Terrapin Station > Eyes of the World > Not Fade Away

The shows yesterday and today in 1971 in Berkeley were really nice, the 8/15 one in particular has a great 2nd set (Truckin' -> Drums -> The Other One -> Me And My Uncle -> The Other One -> Wharf Rat). Seems like it would be viable for them to package up both of them into an official release.

Seems like it would be viable for them to package up both of them into an official release. I'll have to check these out. As it is, I've sort of been following along with 72 in real time, given that they've only really played a handful of times since the European tour ended. These shows feel like a hangover from that - now with Pigpen fully gone from the band - even with a few new songs in their repertoire. 'Bird Song' starts to get into rotation. In July, just 2 shows removed from Europe, they introduce 'Mississippi Half-Step' and give a nod to where the band is headed. These shows are fine, but I don't think the band really comes together again until the Veneta show, up there with Cornell as shows that serve as the best gateway drug into the band. From there I seem to remember it's a hot hot September.

Today's 72 show is good-but-not-great for me, although I can't tell if the lack of a truly good source is the cause for my lack of complete enthusiasm. The best SBD version does improve a lot for the 2nd set and Truckin' -> Drums -> TOO -> Stella Blue is a very nice run. TOO alone is worth the listen, with the improv getting really frenzied before coalescing into a jazzy melodic jam that's a nice showcase for Keith (although a jarring 2 minute AUD patch when the vocals start is a bummer).

Ok now, today's 72 show: holy poo poo. An all timer PITB, Jerry and Keith are just on fire with incredible rapid fire jamming that never falls apart. Dark Star is a top shelf 72 version as well, at one point the band starts launching into Morning Dew but Phil keeps bombing all over it to the point where they go back into another frenzied Keith-driven jam. Sweet sounding board that does justice to every member of the band, only issue is a cut that chops a verse out of Casey Jones. They're essentially operating at the same levels that they did a week later at Veneta.

The vocals on 2/28/73 (the back half of Dick's Picks 28) are absolutely locked in, it's insane.

Likewise, the double bill of today and yesterday's Berkley shows aren't to be missed. Any dust has been blown off and you'll find people saying that the show from the 24th is as good as Veneta if not better. I don't know if I agree with that, only because like everyone else I'm probably more familiar with the more famous one. But I definitely want to add the 24th to the rotation. Vocally I think we're edging into the best they've ever sounded. 'He's Gone' from today in particular is elevated by Bobby and Donna's additions. When they really lock in they're a force.

Yeah the whole run has been excellent. Today’s show really is top tier, it’s excruciating that the recordings cut off in the middle of TOO.

I think I'm inclined to agree with this take on Veneta these days. As much as I love the 'Dark Star' here I think there's two from the Europe shows alone that I like better. But that's the thing with changing tastes I suppose. https://twitter.com/Mr_Completely/status/1563625558399152128?t=KLzJqpRj1aCHDhwXYZI1nA&s=19

Considering I was brought up on a steady diet of Fall 73 and Europe 72, Veneta doesn't really like, blow me away apart from that fact there's video of it. I mean it still rules but I'm with that poster.

I've been enjoying most of the OTD in 1983 shows that I've checked out lately, and Sept 4, 1983 is a little gem of a show. Starts off strong with Bertha and Friend Of The Devil highlights, and then falters a bit with an abysmal Red Rooster and an Althea that isn't bad but never quite takes off. But then a super uptempo China/Rider closes the first set, second set kicks off with a monster Scarlet/Fire and after a mediocre Women Are Smarter it's into a great D/S -> Spanish Jam - The Wheel -> TOO -> Wharf Rat sequence. Seems to be a lot of well executed matrix sources available for shows from this era too. trem_two fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Sep 4, 2022 |
