Tony Pusey

There was also a good solid date on Fontana if my memory seves me well.

The waiting Game came out in Japan at 1500 yen a year or so back. I quickly got rid of my copy, didnt like it at all. In Paris, on the other hand is out now on Toshiba, also 1500 yen, and is great!

You are welcome Doc, I, for one like having you around-now group cuddle, OK?

Are the 3 Live Chet Blue Note albums still available somewhere? I could do with a set.....

Last Days of the Fillmore on vinyl, when it was released. Firts CD box set? a tie between Jefferson Airplane and the Byrds. Jazz came about one year later.

Yeah Clem, Gene- No Other! And I am with you on Sir Doug as well. saw Wiz Jones way back, more than once.....

Miek is a peach-she likes music and especially dancing. She doesnt like too many trumpets tho-especially when its screaming big band stuff, thus we have no Maynard Fergusson! and she doesnt like Kenton.On the other hand she even dug Zorn when we saw him! Hates my first love -Big Brother, and goes bat shit if Janis gets near the stereo, and she is fed up with my Dead obsession, tho tolerant because none of them can sing! And if there is a divide between us it would be that she enjoys more song while,no surprise,I have always likes improvisation- She really likes World music- African, Middle Easrern, Turkish, Fado, Tango, Flamenco, which is cool- likes going to gigs and never hassles me about the ever growing piles of cds. And she is in love with Chris Conner, Julie London et al. I guess I am a lucky man!

Remember seeing that Live at the Proms when it was first aired on BBC, it had been much heralded and some of us got Frenchy the Bar man at the late ,lamented Duke of Abercorn pub in Enfield, to let us watch it in the public bar, scared off the other regulars if I remember rightly. Aside, Frenchy, never knew his real name, a Canadian who had had a severe car accident and fallen on hard times, had played trumpet with Ambrose, and legend would have it, Glen Miller, before the war, DTs got him in the end, but he turned more than a few of us Dead heads on to Jazz and the classics.

Ummm, good place to start?

Arthur Lee.

Thanks for the information fellas, having trouble getting through to the shop at phillesh.com, but it is only a matter of time.

Trane 123, where can one buy the instant live dicks+ What are your top tips? (2 or 3 would suffice) bearing in mind that its the lineup with Sco that I am interested in

In that case- flog on I say!

Great list. Good price. Did it come from Hiroshi? I think that Bluerein is correct, that JVC has lost its license, so I will be grabbing a few handfulls...

I am also interested in this Lesh release. When I saw Sco a couple of weeks ago in Helsingborg he introduced an encore saying that it was his Grateful Dead tune......

Not the Euro 72 Newcastle show! I just checked, its May 1970. I have not heard the tape since 1976 or so, would make a fine Dick or whatever they will call them in future, Just for me, pretty please Rhino!

Wrong call Orchid, if I understand you correctly- some bright spark can come up with the date ,but their first trip to Yurrup was to play at the Hollywood festival, Newcastle-under-Lyme, otherwise famous as the break thru gig of Mungo Jerry!

Hollywood festival on their first trip to Europe, pretty much the standard Live Dead repertoire if i can remember correctly.. the show was supposed to be recorded on film for the BBC but the band laced the cameramen who immediately became true believers, needles to sew, nothing was filmed by the stoned technicians tho an audio recording was made, i recall hearing it at Rik Griffins exhibition at the Roundhouse. Second fav show the Wemby stand as documented on Steppin Out/ Europe 72.

Steal your face was also the one one that had me giving up on the Dead, also seeing the coke fueled shows at the Ally Pally in North London as documented on a less than stellar Dicks Pick. And so the love affair came to an end, as of course they all do eventually...

Um, socks?

The RCAs have benn out in Japan at 1500 yen this year, interested parties know where to find Mr Tanno!

Hiroshi!!!!

Also underwhelmned

And 20 more next month.....

Scofield with Steve Swallow in Helsingborg. On thursday we saw a storming set by the Kocani Orchestra from Macedonia at the same venue, phew...Balkan brass and the whole theatre reduced to a heathing mass of dancers with the band scattered all over the auditorium.
