jazzbo Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Posted October 24, 2006 Yes indeed, years of training and a fair dollop of hypergraphia yield results! Listening to a really cool "Turn on Your Lovelight" from St. Louis, 1969! Quote

Spontooneous Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 St. Louis '69 is a great choice, Lon! An all-time favorite of mine. If anybody ever finds a better version of the Cryptical/Other One suite, let me know about it! Quote

Listening to a really cool "Turn on Your Lovelight" from St. Louis, 1969! You are my hero I've been following my music cyberguru Lon around music BBSs now for at least 10 years. Quote

If anybody ever finds a better version of the Cryptical/Other One suite, let me know about it! I don't believe I've heard this one. Guess that's in store for later. Meantime, it will be up against the Harpur College version. Jerry soars so high at the end! That lick with which he usually ended the jam and eased into the second verse--so intense that he kept on going anyway. Quote
trane123 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Not to break the flow or anything, but has anyone been listening to the "Phil Lesh and Friends Instant Live" CDs from the tour. I've picked some of 'em up (a couple with Greg Osby and a couple with John Scofield). They're all really nice, but the ones with Scofield have some really great moments. He fits in really well with the band and the two guitar attack on these CDs are pretty great. Listening the the Nashville show right now. The first CD has some country-ish leanings, but the second CD just jams like crazy. Really like this one alot. Haven't gotten to the third CD yet. I was hoping Osby would go a little more out than he does with the band, but he's still fine. Phil's band does a great job. And I like Joan Osborne. Any other opinions? Quote
orchiddoctor Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 I haven't listened to enough Phil and Friends stuff, but he seems to be the one who is carrying the torch right now. He does so not only through the excellent playing, but by the rotation of the friends--keeping it fresh. I'm amazed that he didn't have a group on the side during his G.D. tenure as did Jerry, Bobby, and Mickey. Renews the mind and allows all sorts of new ideas and possibilities to emerge--just as so many of the great jazz musicians have done over the years. I'll keep my ears open. Quote

jazzbo Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Posted October 26, 2006 Hey, no no no . . . I will resist. I'm still busy with the speedingarrow site. .. Right now I'm in April 1969! Some amazing music! Quote
orchiddoctor Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) Some not too news from Phil: http://phillesh.net/philzonepages/friends_stuff/hotline.html Basically, he has prostate cancer; but it appears to be nipped in the bud. I'm sure we all wish him a speedy recovery from the surgery. Edited October 30, 2006 by orchiddoctor Quote

orchiddoctor Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) That's it? With so much gold in the vault, this doesn't seem to be the one I'd trot out to unveil the new partnership. Still, not a bad concert. And at least they are starting it back up. Edited October 31, 2006 by orchiddoctor Quote
jazzbo Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Posted October 31, 2006 Fork! Ah well. Next time maybe a sixties show. Quote
Matthew Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Darn! You'd think Rhino would come up with something special for the Christmas season.... Quote
John L Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Darn! You'd think Rhino would come up with something special for the Christmas season.... Being at the Cow Palace for New Years in 1976 was special for my Christmas season. Quote
orchiddoctor Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Also underwhelmned At least it's a start . . . . And it's not a BAD concert . . . . Quote

Quincy Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 BTW--is there a link for this? Sorry I forgot that. I'll give a few. Spincds brief blurb rec.music.gdead Steve Hoffman forum link I already have the show. For a NYE show pretty good (and GRRREAT if you were there I'm sure), but I don't see myself buying this one. Bring on da Winterland '73 box boys! (Gawd I hope that wasn't some intern's web-pretend project.) Quote
AmirBagachelles Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 12-31-76 looks a good release, easily programmed to include (for starters) about 85+ minutes of Bertha, They Love Each Other, Playing in the Band, Wharf Rat, Scarlet Bs, Help-Slip, and the Dew. We all gotta buy it, to keep 'em coming. '76 releases can pretty much only surprise on the upside. Check out the feedback on the Oakland shows from October. Regarding '76, I offer this snotty opinion: Reflections may be the only studio record after Mars Hotel that I would recommend. I love it, among our all-time favorite getaway tapes to play in the car driving long hours after a screaming show. Quote
jazzbo Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Posted November 1, 2006 Some nice covers for those few Pigpen fans. . . . http://www.wulfware.de/covers/Index3/GD690613.htm http://www.wulfware.de/covers/Index3/GD690614.htm Nice shows too. 6/13 Fresno has some electric piano from Pig! 6/14 is like a triple decker Turn on your Love Light sammich!
