mjzee Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Just got back from the Beat Club movie. It was a lot of fun. They used what looked like the original video feed, not the final TV show, so you saw between-song patter, false starts, and Playing In The Band was even redone (so we saw it twice). It was really valuable for the in-depth view we got of the band working: how Garcia directed the band at key moments, how Billy Kreutzmann might be the hardest working man in show business, the almost telepathic communication between band members. Pigpen looked good; the sound was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'm now watching/listening to View From The Vault II (6/14/91, Washington, DC). The Help On The Way/Slipknot/Franklin's Tower was so enjoyable. I'm really liking this Hornsby/Welnick version of the band; they seem like a real band, very cohesive.

coooltrane Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Release date October 28: that looks tasty. I'll say it again, between the dead and garcia camps they are putting these out faster than I can absorb.

Steve Reynolds Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 You fellows may enjoy this in-depth analysis of the GD's original Dark Star, free for thee) http://youtu.be/rs_4TQLycQI Dave Frank Very much enjoyed this. As a non-musician I was fascinated but often confused. After watching and listening to the whole thing, I was prompted to go watch and listen to numerous clips and performance of probably my favorite sort of improvisation (which was a large part of what you discussed), early European Free Improvisation. To my ears much of it is not based on much of what you spoke so eloquently about. No pulse, no scales, etc. So improvisation is not limited really in any way nor does it have rules of guidelines in many cases. Again, thanks for posting this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dfrankjazz Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Absolutely right. Improvisation is an oceanic art form that takes many forms. In this class I was focusing on the Dead's Dark Star improv genre. Thanks for writing. You may enjoy a visit to my master class archive at www.davefrankjazz.com, there are presently 27 free in-depth classes on a larger variety of subjects..

mjzee Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 STINSON BEACH, Calif.—Time has always been elastic for Grateful Dead fans in thrall to tunes that last more than 45 minutes and shows that go on for hours. So when the group announced it would mark its 50th anniversary in the summer of 2015 with three final performances, Deadheads took the old-school route, flooding the band’s ticket service here with handcrafted requests rather than clicking online. Since the shows were announced a month ago more than 60,000 envelopes—many painstakingly adorned with the Dead’s typical psychedelic skulls and skeletons—have poured into a post office box in this picturesque Marin County spot a half-hour from the Golden Gate Bridge. The post office usually receives 7,000 letters a week. “It was a big shock to us,” Jim Harvey, the Stinson Beach postmaster, said of the vivid No. 10 envelopes festooned with Magic Marker sketches and fanciful lettering. “It indicated that the Grateful Dead culture is alive and well.” More here: WSJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
