	... so, i bet ya'll are wondering what i'm listening to or wondering
what the hell ever provoked me start this topic!!  :-^)


	anyway, i'm listening to 4-17-84 at Niagara Falls... h->s->f,
woman are smarter, eyes ... my copy is really cruisin' (fast) but it
sounds like a great show.... they also did the take a step back thing....

    I'm not listening to anything right now. I left my desk keys at
    home and my walkman is locked in my desk with about 250 tapes. :-/
    
    I've got my taping equipment stashed in a railroad station locker 
    along with a few tasty tapes for Phyllis to test her new Nakamichi 
    on, but that doesn't do me any good here.
    
    If I had my way, I'd be listening to a healyboard of MSG 9/18/87,
    but I'll just have to save it for the train.

right now you ask?

well I'm listening to my fingers tape the keyboard, a whirrrr of a tk50 in
one of those "leprachaun" boxes, phones ringing off in the distance, the
people in the office behind me giggling, other peoples fingers on their
keyboards a 60 cycle humm from something or other.....

just to name a few :)
oh! a wise guy!

    "Touch of Gray" (refer note 185.) Got the CD yesterday, taped it last
    night... (Also got deadicated, and the new Jethro Tull  -ooops am I
    allowed to mention other bands in here....)
    
    (Actually like the song (ToG) so much, I have recorded it have a dozen
    times in succession onto the same tape, so that I dont have to
    rewind....  :-)

Hey, funny you should ask!  This morning I just took out my quasi-Walkman for
the first time in months ....

I'm listening to a Moody Blues tape I made for myself ... bunch of different
songs (all pre-1975).  I would be listening to Dead 5/18/72 but I left it in
my truck.  :^/

    Just starting 6-18-74 - I am gonna rock while doing some tedious 
    tasks that I have saved for today.  Eyes-->China Doll, weather report

    Not listening to anything right now, but was listening to a copy of

RE: moodys

i've been listening to the moodys a lot lately.  mostly in search of the lost
chord and a question of balance (a terrific album).  matter of fact, the
person that works below where i live hadda call me up this am to lower it a
bit... ooops...

I'm listening to the whirring and clicking and other building noises around
me and trying to drive "harvest" by Neil Young outta my head.  I love the song
but can't get the damn thing outta my head :^/

"Badge" from 24 NIGHTS -- my wife just *knew* I couldn't wait for my B-day 
for this CD... :)

On the way into work this morning, I listened to 6/5/82 Jerry + Kahn.  This
is an excellent acoustic "Jerry" tape for those of you who are into acoustic
dead_based music!

Great tape, and the audience in the tape has quite a bit of respect for the
musicians (very quiet during the songs!).  Even Jerry, at one point, says,
"It is really quiet in here."

If you're interested, perhaps I'll make ya a copy (if ya ask, that is!).

Listening to 5-6-81 (thanks Mr Henderson) right now.  In my group, we're trying
a new thing: allowing some people to work from home 1 or 2 days during the
week.

Today is my first day working from home.  My group has set me up with a 3100
and a 9600 baud modem, which I use for asynchronous DECnet.  I have plenty
of disk storage and CPU power to do my work ... I use the network to stay
in touch and xfr files back to my site.

The hope is to accomplish more in less time, by avoiding the daily distractions
at work....

We'll see how it goes....

    we do the same thing, if it's necesary...'cept I wish I had a 9600 baud

re: what are you listening to now

Ronnie's latest album.  Some really great stuff on there - about 54 mins worth.
It is split about 50-50 between instrumentals and vocal arrangements.  The
photo on the cover was taken by a guy who claims to be from my hometown too!
If you've been seeing Ronnie on a regular basis, you'll recognize a lot of
the tunes....

Hey JC, is Ronnie paying you or what??  ;^)

How was the show last night?  I really gotta get to the Bull one of these

VERY HOT.  On a scale of hotness from 1-10, I rate it at an 8.  Those shows

Today it's a "best of" tape sent by a friend...
labeled "San Bernadino, 2/77", it claims to have the

but there's an annoying number of dropouts in the tape...

    Right this minnit I'm sittin' here with headphones on trying to figure
    out the setlist for this Allman Bros. tape I got yesterday ... it's
    from Shoreline ... 10-06-91 ... and if anybody's got the set list I'd
    really appreciate some help, cuz there's a coupla tunes I can't
    identify.
    
    It's got this real folksy-bluesy version of GDTRFB on it ... odd to say
    it's probably the most laid-back tune on the whole tape.  Not even the
    same lyrics as the Dead use.
    
    Grate tape ... it's inspired me to do something this weekend that I
    rarely do.  I'm taking my walkman, and this tape, to Sunday River with

    	Going Down the Road is a "traditional" song meaning its been sung
    for so long that nobody can quite figure out who wrote it. It has about
    2,396 verses,... give or take. I have a traditional blues or blugrass
    music book at home that lists about 100 verses or some such,.. some are
    pretty funny. Dicky Betts introduced the song at SHoreline as "the
    first song I ever learned to play",.. (can you hear that on your
    tapes?) I actually like his approach to the tune A LOT! Seems like 
    thats more the way it was intended to be done than the "rockier
    rollier" dead version...
    
    
    

    Listening to MSG, 9/10/91, Set II (w/Brandford) and MSG 9/16/90, Set II.

    Excuse me for listening to music. Believe me, that wasn't teasing.
    If I wanted to tease you, I would post something here every time
    I bring rare and relatively uncirculated vault tapes to work to 
    listen to. Now *that* would be teasing. I suppose I deserve that 
    remark despite the fact that I working on clearing up my queue.
    Oh well, c'est la vie.

    Hey!  Where do you keep the battery pack for your boot system?
    
    Back to the subject -- I was listening to the Cal Expo Baba O'Riley ->
    Tomorrow Never Knows encore from the Grateful Dead Hour.  Sounded good,
    but Keith Moon's manic drumming was missing from BOR.  Sometimes I wish
    the percussionists would go back to being drummers and bang some skins! 
    Bobby was pretty lost on his vocals to TNK, which was no big deal since
    Vince was mixed MUCH louder anyway.  I suspect that Vince wanted to do
    these songs for the same reason "Passenger" was written -- to give the
    band a chance to "rock out."  If someone played this encore for me
    without telling me it was the Dead, I might not have guessed.  What's next?

    the Vegas Baba->TNK is MUCH better than the Cal Expo IMO, infact, ALL

    These are the first tapes where i have had a chance to hear the new

    They can get almost to quiet with this new set up though.  This is

	Well, I'm not listening to it now, but I did last night:
	Jimi Hendrix Experience - Live at either Winterland/Fillmore.
	*Incredible* stuff!!!  Man were they *loud*, and was Jimi
	talented!  A nice ~11 minute Red House sent chills up my spine.
	Some nice jazzy stuff on there too, as well as really good versions
	of his "hits" (later versions weren't all that hot when he got 
	sick of playing them).  Jack Casady plays bass on Killing Floor.  
	Some nice liner notes by Bill Graham (RIP).  Instead of a little
	hard-to-extract booklet with the cd, there's a hard-to-extract 
	mini-fillmore-type-poster that unfolds and looks *great*!

	I got this disc free, along with Hendrix Radio Days, Planet Drum,
	and a Miles Davis disc from joining the BMG CD Club. Not a bad deal!

CD clubs are good for the basics, but after that, well, I found they did not
have much to offer.

You can get a lot for free though!

I joined one, got 6 free.  Then, i recommended deb to join and she got 6
free for me _plus_ I got 2 free for recommending her.  then, deb recommended
me again, got 6 free, and deb got 2 free for recommending me!!  so, that was
a total of 22 free CDs... hadda buy 9 at the "regular rip-off club prices"
for all of these....

I agree with ya JC. 

After the Columbia House CD club aggravations, I said never again, but
I couldn't resist getting these particular CD's for "free".  The BMG deal 
is 8 for 1: 4 free now, obligation to buy 1 @ regla ripoff price within a
year, then 3 more free.  Then I'm out, as quickly as possible.

re: cd clubs

yeah, bmg is the best deal

they're best offer was 4 free, buy one at half price, and then get 3 more free;
that's it; you've got 8 discs for the price of a half, and your obligation is
done; and if you get a friend to sign up, you get 2 free just for that

bmg actually does run a lot of non-initial-offer deals which are pretty good;
i got crossroads (4 clapton cd's, each with about 70 min of music) for $30; one
spot on one track on one disc was skipping on my player; so i called bmg and
they sent me another whole set; i asked if i should sent back the original set,
and they said no; so i sold it to somebody else (after telling him that it
skipped on my player - i don't know if it skipped on his) for half of what it
cost me; ended up getting 4 70+ min cd's for $15; i also got dreams (4 disc
allmans set) for $30

/rich

    I joined BMG when I first got my CD player.  The deals seem really
    good but I questioned the quality of the CDs.  Almost every CD I
    got from them had a cracked case and many of the CDs had to be 
    returned becaused they skipped.  I finally got out because I got
    tired of sending them back for replacements.  I also wondered -
    why did I never have these problems with the ones I bought in the
    stores?  I kind of figured it was as they say - you get what you
    pay for.

    I think that if you shop wisely - buy what's on sale, scoop up loads of
    $3 off coupons in Harvard Square, hit the used stores, etc, you'll end
    up with about the same deals as the clubs. Plus you don't have to deal
    with returning the "monthly selection" which is never something you
    want, their selection isn't that great (how many small labels do they
    carry?), plus you never know what you'll find by just browsing.
    And you're supporting your local merchants, not a multinational
    conglomerate.
    
    Great find last weekend: new copy of "Col Bruce Hampton and his
    Aquarium Rescue Unit" for $1.99.  Really good album.

yes, this may be true for the regular deals with the clubs once you're a
member, but i don't think you'll find any store that will give you 8 CD's
for the price of a half; with BMG, once you've paid for that single half-price
selection, your commitment is done, and you can immediately quit and save
yourself the monthly hassle of returning the card; granted, they're selection
isn't all that great, but they've got enough interesting stuff that i'd bet
most people could find 8 CD's that they'd want

/rich

p.s. you picked up an Aquarium Rescue Unit album for $2?  where?  cd or vinyl? 
i've heard about these guys and have been curious to give them a listen

    I'm a member of Colombia House CD club.  I got 8 for free and then
    bought 2 at half price (or maybe it was 6 free . . . ) now all I
    have to do according to the rules (which I thoroughly read for any
    catches) is buy 3 CDs at regular price in the next year.  That is
    supposeovely it -- anyone know otherwise?

	I was a member in that a year or 2 ago, and that's it as far
	as I know.   Just buy the obligatory-number at _regular_ prices
	(no sale stuff counts), and you're obligation is complete.

	Ken who bought Hendrix' Rainbow Bridge from that club after having
	 	wanted to see it for *years* (have had the album for a looong
		time).

    
    	Yeah, Sparky, what Ken said.
    
    	I belonged to that club last year.  I figured that with the 
    	initial offer (for me it was i think 8 cds for a penny) and
    	the purchace obligation (for me it was 6 cds in a year) 
    	the cd price averaged about $7.50 per cd.  Not bad.  The 
    	trouble was that their selection got a little monotonous
    	after a while.  Like Scott said, they don't carry the 
    	small labels, and they definitely favor the stuff that
    	makes it to the charts.

CD clubs and the like start making the big bucks on you when you start buying
CDs _beyond_ your obligation.  That shipping and handling charge is pretty
high - not to mention the CD price.

I mostly buy from Noteworthy - a guy around here at DEC does a weekly order
so I can order one CD and not have to pay much more then 40 cents for
shipping and handling (around Xmas, it is more like 12 cents!!)....

    
    	Yeah, it seems like the shipping and handling charges
    	cancel out a lot of the savings on mail order CDs.
    	A couple years ago there was a guy here at ZKO who 
    	knew someone who worked for Noteworthy.  If you sent
    	him the names of the cds you wanted, he'd place a big
    	order about once a month and have his friend pick them 
    	all up.  He'd bring them into work, and you just had
    	to go and give him the cash.  No shipping fee at all.
    	I really got spoiled, and then the guy's friend left
    	Noteworthy.  :-(

So, how's the '71 tape sound?  What about the WG soundcheck?  I have both of
these and the quality has 'aged' a bit (that is, at the time they were good,
but as of today, that ain't that great!).

    Dillon Gym sounds very crisp except for the 1/2 dozen digital
    dropouts. I'll need to upgrade at some point. No hurry. It was 
    an extra tape someone gave me when they upgraded theirs so I
    know where to get the upgrade. 
    
    The Glen tape is the best available unless you have a DAT of 
    the master. Only one analog gen and that's from the reel master
    to PCM dub. The Glen check is a harse as far as Dead boards go 
    though.

    I think the story is basically correct, but I believe that the
    motivation was a little more involved.  From what I've heard, Phil
    had some contacts down at JPL, and was intrigued by the "face" on Mars.
    So he got some stuff together and this Dark Star was accompanied by 
    various astro and space shots.  So the meteor was a serendipitous
    occurence, not the reason to play Dark Star, which apparently had
    been planned in advance.

Well, not exactly listening to it now, but last night listened to 5/7/70,
MIT Dupont Gymnasium.  An audience tape, with a lot of audible conversation
from the taper and his pals.  

The taper (or his pal) notices at the beginning of the second set 
"He's wearing a strike shirt!"  5/6/70 there were nation-wide campus strikes
to protest the Kent State killings.

Jerry introduces Dire Wolf as the "ultimate paranoid on the streets song",
adding that "you can sing along if you like".

On 5/7/70 the Dead played _every_ song from Workingman's Dead (!), which was 
released sometime in May, 1970.

    
    
    	And just to brag a little, 5/7/77 was my first show...

The Dead probably got their version of Ain't It Crazy from Lightnin' Hopkins,
who was doing it in the early 60's and well before I'm sure.

The riff is one of Lighnin's 2 or 3 favorite riffs, that is, about 1/3 of
each of the Lightnin' Hopkins CDs I have has a tune to that riff! :-)
Kinda similar to how Bo Diddley has "his" riff, and Elmore James has his
riff (Ahh believe, Ahhh believe Ah dust my broom DA DA DA  DA DA DA  DA DA DA

    Haven't listened to it yet - anyone have that one?
    
    

    no Phyllis, I don't know 4 Non Blondes.  Maybe I'll go over to the
    store and see if I can find it.

Got me the Monterey Pop Festival boxed set for Christmas :^) ... little
bit o' Mississippi noise, rollin' and tumblin'!

    some New Years Eve show with Branford :^)
    
    got me a Jerry tie from mom! His Oaktree one :^)
    
    enjoy! Andy

    
    I got "not for kids only" for Christmas and I think it's
    great!!  I've only listened to it once but I got a
    real kick out of it!  It comes with the words so I was
    singing right along with uncle jerry and uncle dave!  
    
    ;-)
    
    MJ   

    I also got "not for kids only", MJ.  I really like it and it will be
    much better to have that in the cd tray for the kids instead of barney
    and raffi (although raffi isn't bad).  Cool Jerry art work on the cover
    too.  
    
    Also got Big head todd and the monsters and Tom Petty - greatest hits.
    
    :-)
    Scott 

    
    I got the Garcia/Grisman disc too - grate stuff!  Other new ones:
    Jericho by the Band
    a double live James Taylor disc
    Grasshopper by JJ Cale
    Save the Planet.. by Merl Saunders
    
    

    When I was younger (I won't get into how much younger), I used to head
    into Boston on Friday nights, and go to a place called The Boston
    Tea Party. It was a swell place, it usually cost $2.50 to get in, and
    you would see three bands, and four sets. The first band would also be
    the last band of the night.
    
    My second time there, the opening band was called Mountain. They had
    this monster of a man, Leslie West, playing lead guitar. Leslie had on
    a leather jacket, with long fringes on it, he had long hair, in an afro
    type style, all bushy, and when he strapped on his Gidson Les Paul, it
    looked like he was playing a ukele. He was big. But boy could he play.
    
    So, for Christmas, I got two Leslie West CD's, both produced in
    1993.One of them is live, and one is a studio CD. I was recently
    wondering what he has been up to. From the live CD, it looks like just
    the same, to whit: Mississippi Queen, Never In My Life, Roll Over
    Beethoven, Nantuckett Sleighride...all of the Mountain classics...
    
    But the studio CD shows he's also been writing songs. And he still can
    play that Les Paul.
    
    Extra Bonus Question: What is a Nantucket Sleighride?
    
    

    The wild ride in the little dinghys they used to hunt whales in that
    happened after the harpoon would hold in the whale. The whale would 
    take off like a wounded animal and the little boat would be dragged for
    a Nantucket sleigh ride. How they ever rowed those boats back to a 
    mothership dragging a whale carcass is beyond me. But, at least in 
    those days it was a fair fight.
    
    What do I get?

    I saw Leslie West and Mountain (Jack Bruce, Felix Pappalardi) play at
    the Philly Spectrum in 1969.  This was so long ago that the opening
    band was Ozzie Osbourne with Black Sabbath...I don't often admit to
    ever having paid to see that idiot, but Mountain was the reason for
    going, not Ozzie.  I remember listening to this enourmous man playing
    a tiny little guitar (we were in the balcony, opposite the stage) and
    he made it sound for all the world like a violin - and in 1969 there
    was no such thing as a synthesizer, much less a midi.  He was amazing.

     RE: Leslie West
    
     I think he lives out in western Mass......I used to work with a
    guy that knew him.
    
     in the mid 80's he was playing out in alot of local clubs around
    Worcester.
    
    Sean
    
    

    
    
    	I guess I should have disqualified all sailors.....
    Geoff is right. Now I gotta think up a prize....
    
    

    
    A good buddy of mine loves to tell the story of how Leslie West
    started a show one night at the Fillmore East by playing Mississippi
    Queen while being suspended by a rope from the rafters!!! Must have
    been one He!! of a strong rope, eh??? Sounds like Leslie was tripping
    one night at a performance of Peter Pan...
    
    Marc

    
    
    	Wow, I didn't think I'd find so many Mountain/Leslie West
    fans....
    
    	Mountain and Canned Heat were my two earliest musical
    influences...and  of course, Grand Funk Railroad, but that
    goes without needing to be said.
    
    

    I can remember seeing Mountain in May 1970 when Felix Pappalardi
    was still with them. (He produced all of Cream's albums from Disreali
    Gears to Goodbye.) He had a Les Paul Jr. which did look like a ukelele
    in his massive hands. They were warming up for electric Hot Tuna and
    were louder than Tuna!
    
    In '71 I saw him with the West, Bruce, and Laing band. Their new
    material wasn't that great but it was a thrill to hear Bruce do
    "Sunshine of Your Love" and the other Cream hits along with the
    Mountain hits "Missisippi Queen, "Flowers of Evil" come to mind.
    Actually, we didn't hear them we *felt* them. We were in the second row
    in front of these Marshall stacks that were cranked up well past 10.
    
    I saw the new West album but didn't recognize him. He's lost a lot of
    weight and looked years younger than the last time i saw them.

    	I was given "Dick's Picks" for Christmas and last night was the
    first time I got to listen to it with the volume turned up. That makes
    a real difference as I went from, "Yah it's pretty good", to, "Wow!!!".
    That's some really nice stuff and I hope my neighbor across the street 
    liked it because it was probably audible over there. I really like the 
    way Phil was shaking my seat. 
    
    	It's really nice when you can hear everything that's happening!

Jimi Hendrix doing "Like a Rolling Stone."  Quite awe inspiring ....

    Hey, I saw Mountain at the Boston Tea Party, too.  In fact, I think I
    saw them twice -- in '69 and '70.  Or was it '70 and '71?  Can't
    remember.  That was quite a while ago.
    
    What I do remember is sitting on the floor about six feet in front of
    this massive guy with the most bloodshot-red eyes I've ever seen.  And,
    man, they were LOUD!  And Leslie West just wailed on that thing.  Made
    it scream.
    
    BTW, also saw Allman Bros. (w/ Duane), Traffic, and Jethro Tull at the 
    Tea Party, I think all in '69 or '70.  None of these bands had yet found 
    their big audiences, and the Tea Party was a great small club to see
    them all.  No chairs; everyone just sittin' cross-legged on the floor.

    Several species...GREAT stuff, haven't listened to Ummagumma in a long
    time, but I'll have to dust it off...Set The Controls for The Heart of
    The Sun...another fave
    
    I remember driving by Juniper golf course in a '63 Ford Falcon wagon,
    equipped with Panasonic Thrusters, playing Several Species at intense
    volume, holding the speakers to the windows, so all the golfers could
    share the madness...I can still remember the puzzled looks of the guys
    sitting in front of the clubhouse, having a drink, hearing us drive
    by...aaahh, this was not last week by the way, but probably 1978 or
    so...the good old Daze   :)

Ah yes, early Pink Floyd.  Isn't it Maggard who has the 
"Careful with that AXP, Eugene" personal name?  Frankly, I 
thought they went too commercial and downhill starting with
Dark Side of the Moon, but the early stuff still sounds good
to me.  Many images come back of high school dazes and lying 
on my brothers bed listening to this stuff.  Sigh....

PeterT

two of my favorite Pink Floyd albums (and the only ones i have on CD) are
Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother; any suggestions of more early Floyd that
would be worthy of obtaining?

My two favorites are Meddle and Animals

    rich,
    
    if you like ummagumma and atom heart mother, check out a saucerful of
    secrets and the piper at the gates of dawn. both are available on 
    cd from capitol. two others worth considering are the soundtrack to 
    the movie more and obscured by clouds. the piper cd has the studio
    versions of astronomy domine and interstellar overdrive. the saucer
    cd has the studio versions of the title cut and set the controls...

    I would also recommend Relics ... "The Nile Song" was probably my

Atom Heart Mother is kind of a neglected Floyd album, maybe because of "Alan's

tunes.

"Nobody's Heroes" by Stiff Little Fingers.  The only good band to ever come
out of Ireland.

re: -.1 Oh, I dunno. I thought the Pogues ran off some fine tunes.

How about the Chieftans, Steeleye Span and Relativity?

How about Clannad?  I thought they were Irish too...

    ...and put a good buzz on!
    
    Which CD?  I've been lookin' for a copy of that tune!!
    
    tim
    

    Jonathan Edwards....That's it !!!   self-titled   released 1971
    track listing:
    Everybody Knows Her
    Cold Snow
    Athens County
    Dusty Morning
    Emma
    Shanty
    Sunshine
    The King
    Don't Cry Blue
    Jesse
    Sometimes
    Train of Glory
    
    found 2 copies at Strawberries Shrewsbury, $12.99   I got it Wednesday,
    have listened to it at least once each day, twice yesterday...such a
    grate disc

Yeah, that brings back some nice memories.  Best one was a free outdoor
concert on my birthday in '74 back in college.  Jonathan Edwards, 
David Bromberg, and John Hammond Hammond.  Not a bad line up.
At least I think Jonathan Edwards was at that one.  Memories of those
times are open to suspicion, perhaps due to the song theme previously
mentioned.  I do remember Bromberg giving John Hammond a big hug, so
I'm positive of those two.

PeterT

Yah - i've got a fond - yet very very vague 8^) - memory of Edwards at 
the Vermont fairgrounds when I was in High school somewhere's around '80-82 
-- the most vivid thing I can remember is this really BIG dude getting
a little upset (ha!) at me for taking yet ANOTHER beer from his cooler...

Man, I was out of it that day....

glennnn

    
    I also have a very very vague memory of Edwards at Unity College in
    Unity Maine in 1981'ish.  I remember it being a nice show, I did have
    a 4 hour road trip directly to the show in which we all had a rather
    outragous time, which set the stage for a vague memory.
    	
    	Mark
    

    my second Garcia Band show (Orpheum, '83, 84, 85 ???) we didn't know
    who was the opening act...lights go down..."please welcome Jonathan
    Edwards"   the whole Orpheum was a "shanty"...vague indeed

Funny how everybody's memories of seeing Jonathan Edwards are 'vague'...

Never seen him - look forward to the time when I can (I heard he was in
town recently, but missed him)...

tim

    I remember hearing on WZLX when Johnathan Edwards was in town last,
    that he sometimes just blows in and plays a low key bar scene or 
    theatre in Boston...That day he was playin "Shanty" in the station's
    studio........Is this "kamikaze" approach to playing out a normal thing
    with him?

Glennnn

Iris DeMent - "Infamous Angel".  Didn't know her stuff really, but I'd heard 
some good things and there was a CD sale, so...  I haven't been disappointed.
Acoustic folk tales of the heartland kind of thing.  As I was buying it
the sales person said her voice took a bit of getting used to, and I can
now understand that, and appreciate it.  Sort of in the same genre as 
Nanci Griffith (she appears on one song of Nanci's "Other Voices, Other Rooms"
album, also an excellent selection).  And John Prine writes well of her on 
the back of the CD, so it seemed a safe bet.

PeterT

JC Inc - Jeff Ceparski

>JC Inc - Jeff Ceparski

Huh?

re: JC Inc

In .284 Glennn mentioned he was listening to some reggae filler on tapes he 
got from JC Inc. I'd recently received tapes of the Dec '93 LA shows from
Jeff Ceparksi labelled with JC, Inc. so I thought I'd point out who the 
source was. Sure would have been nice of me to explain that in my original
note :-)

    hey DCII if you're dating yourself the rest of us don't want to know
    about it

>p.s.  am I dating myself by using the term "album?"  ;^)

nimho.  an "album" is merely a collection of songs.  whether that album is
released on LP, CD, tape, 8-track, DAT, 78, or whatever, it's still an album.

- rich

    
    Hey Rich,
      I also still refer to most media for music as an album.  If I am
    asking someone what media a specific song for a specific band was on,
    I always ask what album it is on.                                 
    
    	Mark
    

    Yeah, I guess that's the way I justify using the term "album" ... but
    people say "CD" so much that in my mind, "record album" is associated
    with that vinyl plattah that mattahs ...
    
    whoops I did it again
    
    - DC

>"record album" is associated
>    with that vinyl plattah that mattahs ...

imho, "record" does indeed refer to the long playing record, a.k.a. LP

which is why i think it's quite odd that so many establishments that refer
to themselves as "record stores" no longer sell records

- rich

But a CD is a recording, too ;^)

- DC <--- woah!  I'm a backwards recording!

	"number 9 ... number 9 ... tiedye your underwear ... praise
	 the name of Dave ..."

Doesn't the term "record album" originate from when an album was actually a 
book of pages where each page was a 78 speed records? I seem to think I've
seen one of those once. 
	And, why should record refer to the memory medium when it's spelled 
just like  record, like they made a recording and put it on some kind of 
memory medium. 

	Re: what we did before CDs
	SOme of us had to endure long spaces in the middle of songs while we 
waited for the tracks to change. 8-) I don't miss those spaces, but I still 
know where they existed in many Aerosmith songs.

    Boston 6/12/76 I

4-4-85 - She's an Artist (the dylan tune with Jerry singing) real nice..

Someone with Deadbase -- how many times have they played this???  I didn't
even realize they had done it until I started this tape trade..  ;^0

Thanks!

Glennnn

The tune is actually titled "She Belongs to Me"  and is listed in my Deadbase V
(which only goes up to '90) as having been played 10 times in total. Nine
times in '85, and once in '66.  The 4/4/85 show was the first time it
had been played since 66, and it was definitely a crowd pleaser.  At least
I remember being pleased with it as I sat in the tapers section with me
itty-bitty sony stereo mic ;-)  Good show overall, but I'm sure there are
better copies than mine.

PeterT

thanks PeterT !

Tape/Song of the weekend is 6/23/74's U.S. Blues.   Bobby unreels an
_amazingly_ smooth, _long_ solo about a minute before the vocals of U.S. Blues
start.  Bobby gets going on a riff, and Jerry fades back to let Bobby do
his stuff!  You know its Bobby soloing, cause in the middle of his riffing
Jerry plays along a bar or 2, and you can clearly pick out Jer's guitar tone...
so then that OTHER guitar soloing has to be... Bobby!

we're all confused
whats to loose
you can call this song
the U-Nighted States
    ba-lues!

bobby definitely seemed to take many more solos 20 yrs ago... i have lots of
70-74 tapes that show this, espec. the 70 and 71 shows...  he had some good
jams going back then!

Bill Monroe Box Set (1936-1994)

Bill Monroe is credited with inventing bluegrass music.
The 4 CD set is a pretty definitive overview overview
of the history and development of bluegrass music.
Mix Bill Monroe with early blues and you get rockabilly.
One page of the liner notes is a tribute written by
Jerry Garcia.  Easy to see where the inspiration for
Old and In The Way came from (in fact, Peter Rowan plays
on several of the cuts from several decades ago).
Despite the 58 year timespan, Bill Monroe is still touring.

Highly recommended.

Jim

    I was first turned on to Bill Monroe by my dad, a big fan of bluegrass
    and early C&W music.

I noticed yesterday that Vassar Clements also plays on some of the cuts.
That man can play the fiddle.

4-4-87  Iko, playin, comas a time, hand jive, truckin, playin, Sat nite, Quinn

    
    I was at that 4/4/87 show Glenn, and what a show that was.... but don't 
    recall hearing a Quinn....
    
    did I leave too early????

re: 4-4-87

I don't have a Deadbase, but I think Quinn was a second encore - one of the
few times that's happened... but I could be wrong...  The tape I have
even has a clip of Elton John's Rocket Man being blasted (LOUD) over the PA
before the second set begins...


This morning's pick from 9-6-83 Red Rocks has a really cool BirdSong->LazyLitn

I wuz there.  No Quinn.  Probably somebody filled up the tape with a tasty
version and didn't label it correctly.  Tsk. Tsk.  :-)

    re;rocket man.
    
    it may be cuz that show was a FM broadcast.

>    My tape has "Rocket Man" too!  :-P

Guess ya had to be there -- It was really LOUD, which usually doesn't
happen in between sets and at the time it was REALLY cool 8^)
-- kinda like getting ready for blast off    8^)

Glennnn
    

    
    re- 4/4/87
    
    I remember Rocketman being blasted between the sets....especially 
    toward the end of the song....they did Yellow Brick Road too!  I was 
    pretty major at the time (if you know what I mean) so as a result I 
    do specifically remember that being cranked....knocked the wind outta 
    me.  
    
    That was such a good show I was having problems speaking afterwards...
    blah blah blah blah.....ya know?

    hey dean-o,
     yer Colorado Gazzetter is on the way...you owe me $14.00, $11.00 for
    the book of maps and $3.00 for shipping. Wait until it arrives, though.
    
    rfb

I remember that Rocketman too!  One of those nights where I didn't really
feel like moving much from my seat during the break, even though my Uncle
_hadn't_ come with me to the show.  :-)

Was that the tour it rained like hell going into the show?
I remember getting soaked a few times, those damn lines into the Centrum.
Hmm was that 86...85...84..???

    That whole run in May of 77 was EXCELLENT. The night before (Cornell -

    Scarlet-Fire's. Two nights before was the Boston Garden show with some
    tunes including a really hot Bertha to open. This occurred right after
    the famous elbow incident as described in David Gans (???) book Goin
    Down The Road
    
    A truly HOT run indeed....

    Re: Back a few, the 5/7/77 Boston Garden Show...My first show.

    few weeks previously, I went alone.  My first Terrapin, if I recall...
    Probably my fourth or fifth show ever...i dunno...
    
    tim
    

    Its a good thing I'm at home when I try to answer these questions re
    the famous elbow incident.
    
    My error - the book in question is Playing in the Band by David Gans.
    For those of you who own this book, check out page 51 where there is a
    three picture sequence of the boyz (without Keith & Donna) checking 
    out Billy's elbow. The caption under the pictures reads 
    "The mysterious 'elbow sequence' at Boston Garden, May 1977."
    
    Perhaps Billy was attacked by one of those rats in a leather jacket
    that have been note to frequent this venue:-) :-) :-) Judging from the
    smiles on their faces other explanations are more likely

i also like Foxtrot and A Trick of the Tail

- rich

    Alright....yup, touch me now is from The Musical Box, from Nursery
    Cryme, their 3rd album, but the 1st that added Phil Collins on drums,
    and Steve Hackett on guitar...this is the "classic" Genesis lineup that
    we all know and love...
    
    some of my fave music to play on keyboards...and fyi, the entire
    Genesis catalog is being re-issued on remastered cd's...look for
    "definitive edition remaster" on the back of the cd...I just picked up
    Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot remasters, and they are cooooool...I will
    replace my entire Genesis cd's with the remasters at some point...
    
    I also have some grate Genesis boots...audio and video
    
    I'm a big fan of Peter Gabriel's music, but to me his best work was
    back in the Genesis daze...well, at least my fave PG music was Genesis,
    fwiw

    There is a double CD set of Genesis live cuts, "The Way We Walk", that
    is good listening.
    
    gary

>    I'm a big fan of Peter Gabriel's music

listening to the soundtrack to Birdy right now.  that, as well as Passion
(the soundtrack to The Last Temptation of Christ) are excellent, lesser-known,
instrumental works of his.  just making random, unsolicited suggestions, in
case you haven't listened to them.

- rich

JOhn Coltrane - The Paris Concert 1962. I need something to take the edge 
off this place today........

    tape from Europe 72, Copenhagen...the Good Lovein-->caution-->who do ya
    love-->good lovin that Pig does is one of his best raps IMO. Also like
    the NFA-->GDTRFB-->NFA from that tape. 
    
    rfb

    
    I also like Wind & Wuthering, really liked what Steve Hackett added to
    the band.  I like the "Seconds Out" phase of Genesis best, as I
    preferred Phil Collins' voice to Peter Gabriel's.  When Phil went solo,
    Genesis went pop with him.
    
    Hogan

    Phil Collins ... shudderrrrr ... I'd rather drink Sam Adams Double
    Bock than listen to Phil Collins

    ahhh yes....Wind & Wuthering..."Seconds Out" was actually recorded
    during the '77 W&W tour (except for The Cinema Show, which was recorded
    during the '76 Trick of the Tail tour)  I feel that the W&W tour is a
    peak for Genesis, they were playing beautifully, Phil really does a
    fine job of performing the older PG material, including Supper's Ready.
    
    Trick of the Tail is my fave album from Genesis, maybe 'cuz that's the
    1st thing that got me into the band...TOTT was the 1st studio album
    after PG's departure by the way, and W&W was Steve Hackett's last
    studio album...he decided to leave the band during the mixing sessions
    for "Seconds Out"
    
    And coincidentally I'm listening to The Lamb right now, celebrating the
    20th anniversary of its' worldwide release....but the real celebrating
    will be at home later with a sam adams and.......:)
    
    The Grand PArade of Lifeless Packaging
    
    for NE1 interested enuff to find out more about the band, ahh, contact
    me !!!  or check out a video "Genesis: A History" that has grate clips
    from their entire career, including Pete in many of his weird and
    wonderful costumes such as the bat-winged space traveller for "Watcher
    of the Skies" The Slipperman, Rael the Imperial Aerosol Kid etc...
    
    and even though I prefer the older pg material, there are still fine
    moments from their 80's albums, tho Iagree it's gotten a bit too poppy
    from Invisible Touch on...
    
    Wes
    
    p.s. The Way We Walk is available in 2 editions..The Shorts which is
    the poppier radio oriented toonz, and The Longs which has some of the
    more adventurous, longer toonz, including "the old medley"  which was
    the highlight (for me) of their latest tour

    Rael was to be Tiffany's name if she had been born a boy.....
    rfb

    what is the derivation of the name Rael?
    christopher_bearing_christ

    Rael is a Puerto Rican name....But the million $ ? is...
    what was his brother's name??

    rfb...interesting...I'd never heard the name until The Lamb, and there
    is a guy on the Internet Genesis digest, Paperlate, who's name is Rael.

    brother John is number 9   :) 

    who's bro rfb?
    the imperial aerosol kid?
    I'll go with Ramon the plebian tube of gel child....

    actually, John is Rael's bro's name...and if i remember
    kerrectly...it's Rael the imperial aerosol KING...not kid...my ALBUM
    (yes, ALBUM) of The Lamb warped ages ago..itwas an original from  when
    the album came out, 1974? 75? I saw the tour as well as the previous
    tour, 1974 I think....that's why I could never get into Genisis after
    PG left.....
    
    DANCE OF THE GIANT HOGWEEDS!!!

    yup, John..."brother John is number 9" is from the grand parade of
    lifeless packaging...
    
    I have the cd with me today, and according to the lyric book it's:
    "Rael, imperial aerosol KID, exits into daylight, spraygun hid"
    
    the lamb came out 11/18/74...they performed the lamb, in it's entirety
    102 times throughout Europe and North America...the tour went into
    1975, and pete's last gig with Genesis was in France, May, 1975

    still be there?
    
    tim
    

    why eating lamb of course, Tim! ;^)
    
    I'll still be here...should be in a fairly good state of mind since the
    Denver shows will just have ended...I'll give you blanks when you
    arrive, Tim. Plan on supper or beers or something with us, OK?

>    musta been my state of mind.....

hmmm, sounds like a familiar response, i sense a pattern here...

has your mind been in stately fluctuations for the past 20 years?

:^)

    Tim, we're talking about Genesis, a band I'm very into, and apparently
    a few other noters are familiar with their older material, back when
    Peter Gabriel was the lead vocalist, and Phil Collins was the drummer,
    and the backup vocalist...altho Phil did sing lead on a few toonz here
    and there...I understand the sentiments against Phil's recent work, but
    he is not just a pop singer, he is one top-rate drummer, and the old
    Genesis material proves it...
    
    so, rfb, you saw the Selling England & the Lamb tours...lucky you...I
    didn't get into them until 1978, and my 1st tour was the Duke
    tour...and I'm lucky enuff to have a tape of my very 1st Genesis show,
    6/18/80 Orpheum Theatre, Boston...
    
    the "old" Gabriel era Genesis music could be grouped under the "70's
    English Progressive" label....it goes Very Well with oatbran :)
    
    Wes

I was just teasing - I have Selling England by the Pound, 
and I've enjoyed it ever since it first came out ('74?),
but frankly I lost interest when the "Lamb Lies Down" 
album came out...then Phil went pop, and that sealed it
for me.

I had similar feelings about the Airplane - up until Baron
Von Tollbooth, which isn't really Airplane, but after that
especially once Octopus came out, I thought they sold out
to make bucks.  Of course, I've always thought Marty Balin
was a whining, narcisistic putz anyway, and blamed him
for the whole sellout, much like Collins did for Genesis...
Similar transitions - a switch from songs with social
context, to sappy, bubblegum, romantic ballads aimed at
teenage girls.  No thanks.

No offense intended to those who still follow Collins,
Genesis, Balin or Starship...just my opinion.

On the other hand, I found it encouraging when my twelve
year old son developed a taste for Genesis - as opposed to
Dr. Dre, and Boyz II Men....etc. etc...;-)  It could be
worse...

tim

P.S.  Ok, now, did I offend enough people yet? ;-)  Don't
take it personally - just the ravings of an old fart..;-)

How can you pick a favorite Genesis, they are all great, at least all the 
ones with Peter Gabriel.  Phil Collins is an excellent drummer and back-up 
vocalist, and I actually liked the Genesis Concert that I saw with Phil as 
the leader but not as much as when Peter Gabriel was Genesis.

Two of the best concerts I've ever seen were Genesis on the Lamb Lies Down 
tour and Peter Gabriel on one of his most recent tours before WOMAD.

Geoff

    no offense here Tim...your son likes 'em, cool...
    
    Geoff, I wish I had seen the Lamb tour...fortunately, I've gotten into
    boots, so I can see what's available from the old daze...there is no
    full boot of the lamb live (video that is) but plenty of audio...I've
    seen them 7 times, Duke was my 1st tour, 2 times on the Abacab tour,
    2 nights in a row on the "Mama" tour, 1 Invisible Touch (sometimes
    referred to as invisible band) and We Can't Dance...yawn...
    
    seen Peter 3 times solo, Phil twice...I still like any of those shows,
    but my fave of their music is the old stuff...keyboard wise, I've
    worked on a lot if it over the years...

    Terrapin Station CD...and ya know what ??  I didn't skip Sunrise, and I
    thought it sounded sorta good, sorta refreshing (maybe 'coz there was a
    nice sunrise this morning, and I usually skip over it)
    
    most of my 5 or so Dead showz were with Keith and Donna, and I know
    most folks usually rank on Donna bit, but I always thought that she and
    Bobby sounded grate together...
    
    did they ever do Sunrise live ???

    This is a great bluegrass album by Jerry Douglas, Edgar Meyer, and
    Russ Barenburg.  All instrumental, and what instrumentals!
    The liner notes are pretty decent too ;-)
    If you like the Garcia Grisman stuff, you'd love this one.
    Someone a few years back had a bluegrass tree from Mechanics Hall
    in Worcester.  The lineup here is a partial subset of that
    group, with Douglas on dobro/steel/slide whatever, Meyer on 
    bass, and Barenberg on guitar.  Sam Bush joins in on mandolin
    for a few numbers.  Great christmas idea...

    Albany '95' - 2nd show, 1st set, So Many Roads and Music Never Stopped
    
    This is the best SMR I've ever heard.  Comparable to B. Gahdin 10/1/95, 
    but longer and more intense.  Jerry takes it up and down like a roller
    coaster ride of emotion.  He tells us a story, then let's us know that
    so many roads do indeed tease his soul.  Anticipation->joy-> sadness,
    ->joy again->chaos, and then a very solemn closing.  This is good shit!
    
    Music Never Stopped is interesting cause Bobby plays lead for the last
    segment (the jig, as I like to call it).

    Ratdog Review, 8/9/95.......:*)
    
    Just testing for a possible tree....
    

    Well, *technically* I'm listening to Todd Rundgren's Utopia, (no wonder
    my foot is tapping) but *yesterday* I was listening to 4.28.87 Brendan
    Byrne Arena (radio broadcast) which the Great Russell Surace (take a
    bow, Russ) so generously donated to the modest but growing Westervelt
    Live Dead suite!

    This very high quality show blew me away, I've only heard it once but
    it was great fun.  Alternate rendition of something or other from
    American Beauty, it escapes me just now with this other music blaring
    in my headphones.

    This is tape #2 for me.  I'm a newbie!  Really looking forward to
    picking up some ace shows [hint hint! ;-) ]

    I also listened to Europe '72 part 2 this morning, courtesy of WesO.
    It was one of the first albums recommended to me and it surely lives up
    to the advance billing. 

    I really dig discovering new bands.  All that music just laying there
    waiting for me!  Yum yum!  

    Tom

	
	I'm listening to 31-Oct-1990, Wembley Arena London
	the encore is, appropriately, 'Werewolves of London', and
	I understand after the show, the audience spilled out into
	the streets of London howling!

	I've been listening to some '90 tapes recently, one from
	France on my way in yesterday, one from MSG on my way home
	last night and this one from London coming in today...all
	three have 'Stella Blue' on them (even though the London
	setlist did not have it written on it - it was a surprise)...
	the one from MSG is especially intense, the anticipation
	Jerry creates for the jam after "gonna make 'em shine..Shine!"
	is like none I've ever heard before...but in any event, this
	song is really getting to me lately and to have it pop up on
	the 3 most recent tapes I've listened to is, well, cosmic ;-)

    "Terrapin Station" - the album and the song.

    It looks like I'll be the sort of fan who likes the studio albums
    a lot.  I usually start there.

    I'm just discovering the Dead.  Listened to "Reckoning" this
    weekend (double live album I bought years ago and never got
    around to).  It's rapidly growing on me.

    "Terrapin" makes the second studio album I'll be getting into
    heavily, judging from side 1.

    Good album.  Right, Wes?  ;-)

    Right Tom :)   I also enjoy the studio albums Highly...

the festival was over and the boys were all planning for a fall
the cabaret was quiet, except for the drilling in the wall
the curtain had been lifted and the gambling wheel shut down
anybody with any sense had already left town

	I was listening to Dylan last night too - Desire...

    I just love "blood on the tracks".

	i do it for you, honey baby can't you tell

	"I was hoping when he died that it wasn't contagious"

	

	last night, in honor of Valentine's day, we listened to some
	old records (yes, records), just some stuff from when we were
	first getting together.  "Wake of the Flood", "Mars Hotel",
	"Desire".  Great memories.

	so I got to thinking and have lots to talk about and lots to
	wonder about.

	like, who preferred the way that "Here Comes Sunshine" was sung -
	with the "refrain" starting it off, like they sang it when they
	brought it back a few years ago?  Or like they used to sing it
	when it first came out?  I prefer the old way, myself.  Like
	to hear them "warm up" their voices a bit before they try harmonizing
	on that refrain.

	like, who plays records anymore?  I don't very often.  But, do you
	remember the whole ritual involved - hold it by the edges, wipe off
	the record with your handy record-wiper-downer thing, blow the dust
	off the needle!

	I don't know if it's because "Wake of the Flood" was probably the
	first studio Dead album we bought and we were so newly involved with
	eachother and the Dead, but this is my favorite studio album.
	Eyes, Let it Grow, Stella... this whole album has such a jazzy feel
	to it, and I don't like jazz!  go figure!  Probably lots of people
	who like jazz were drawn to the Dead because of this kind of playing.
	That's not where I was coming from...I came from the blues, bluegrass,
	folk, rock'n'roll side...but makes me wonder where everyone else (y'all)
	came from musical-taste-wise... did you get turned on to new directions
	by the Dead?

	anyways, there are no credits (except for songwriting) on the album...
	who was playing the horns?  who sang "Let Me Sing Your Blues Away"
	(besides Donna) - I can't figure out who the male singer is?

	we were looking at the album covers - Guntis says the back of 
	Mars Hotel looks just like da ve's livingroom ;-)

Hey this ain't the "poll" note :)  Actually I think I prefer the old way
myself.

I still play my records since I have such an obscure taste in music most of
the stuff is vinyl only.

> wake of the flood

I think this is my favorite as well.

Let me see - who sang the "cheesy" "Let Me Sing Your Blues Away"?????
Keith.  

as if "rock and roll and my turtle dove"

maybe the singin' ain't bad but geesh...the words turtle dove fit into a 
lyric?? :)  and not be a Christmas tune? :)

    re .-1
    
    another 'old vs. new' is They Love Each Other; back in the
    early seventies they played it with a fast Motown groove,
    much different than the more recent slow/funky way. I always
    liked it as a fast tune a lot more. 
    
    Before the Dead I was mainly a Sabbath/Deep Purple kinda guy. 
    I thought the Dead were a county band.

    
>    another 'old vs. new' is They Love Each Other; back in the

	OH..this reminds me ;-)...of something else I've been meaning to
	ask for a long while...

	They Love Eachother - Jerry sang it to Guntis and I once..and I
	wanted to figure out the date.  I don't have a Deadbase...do
	they include Jerry Band setlists?  If so, could someone do some
	sleuthing for me.  This was during the 70's, I -think- I was still
	living in CT, so it must have been between 73and77.  It was
	at Yale in New Haven at Woolsey Hall.

	Debess

    I preferred the old arrangement of Here Comes Sunshine too.

    Last night before dinner one of the kids showed me one of their
    V-Day cards from school, and it was titled "My Funny Valentine".
    This was the perfect queue to play the Jerry + Merl tune of the
    same name Volume II Live at Keystone.  Nice disc!

    Later Timmy asked me if there was tune called "You're Mine", from
    another Vday card ;-) I said probably somewhere but I don't think 
    we have it ;-) ;-)

	actually, I have a tape with just Pigpen singing a song with
	these words in it, don't know what the title is.  Can't remember
	the exact lyrics but it was something like 

	"you're lowdown, ugly, crippled, but you're mine"

	PC, he wasn't...

	Debess

I think I've got that tape Debess.  It's got Pig on guitar singing what
will become Katie Mae, and the other tune, the one you mention, for 
lack of a better title, is, "You're Mine".

    RE .474 - Debess I peeked thru DB last night and the only Wolsey Hall

    same time frame and both of those had TLEO. Maybe it was one of those?

	i like the old begining to here comes sunshine.
	and, wake of the flood is my favorite studio album.
	i still play lp's. in fact, just the other day someone asked me
	to tape an lp for him cuz he knew we still had a working record
	player. the album was called love devotion surrender, by carlos
	santana and mahavishnu john mclaughlin. pretty cool, altho a bit
	scratched ;-)

    Uncle John Band - Boston Gahdin, 9/27/94 
    
    This version is flawless, long, light and smooth.  Noone
    is turned up too much.  The instument volume is low (IMO
    appropriately for UJB), the vocals are turned up.  Drums 
    are very soft.  Jerry's solo is longer than normal, flowing 
    well with a little delay thrown in here and there for color. 
    Vince and Bob are quick in response to Jerry's queues.
    
    I'd give this a 9.8 on the calypso scale.    

actually, on the way in vs. now....

    I'm listening to IMHO one of the best albums of all time:
    
    Prince & The Revolution - "Purple Rain"
    
    I forgot how rocking this album is!  8^)  
    I remember back when I was 12 yrs. oldish, and I went with my mom
    to see the Prince 'Purple Rain' concert in Syracuse, NY.  Sheila E.
    was the opening act.  They were doing some crazy things on stage,
    all the time my mom was sucking face with her new boyfriend.  My 
    eyes were glued to the stage.  It was pretty interesting, an amazing 
    concert.    

	danielle,

	I like this album too!  Prince(insert his symbol here) is
	one talented dude. a little too full of himself though IMHO.

	Toby

    I've seen purple rain. ...

re:  purple rain

And I've seen it rain purple...

But I really like that Prince album too.  And after seeing the movie
liked it even better....I bought Graffiti Bridge and played it exactly
once...maybe twice...

I think I lost him though after that one (P Rain)...and I never did get to hear
the infamous Black album (boot).

bob

*&^%$#E  or whatever his name is, is indeed a very talented musician...and I
agree that at this point he's too full of himself...I saw *&^%$# and Sheila E
at the Centrum, Fall '85?  pretty rockin' show...and Purple Rain is a grate
album, and a very good movie too...I heard he's getting married...what shall we
call his wife???

Mrs. (*&^%$##$%^&*  ???

Second time today I've heard Sheila E.'s name, and it isn't even
lunchtime yet (which is a good thing).

Turned on the radio this morning (WERS Coffee House, 6am-11am),
to hear Michael Hedges' "A Love Bizarre" (an old theme song of
mine ;-)....He opens the tune with "A...B...A...B...C...D.....
Sheila E...."  Ya had ta be there.  Live on the Double Planet -
great album/CD...

I was really into Hedges about five years ago - an interesting
artist.  Prince never did much for me, though...

    	WOW!  Prince, Purple Rain was my first big concert ever.  I 
    	don't normally like to admit to these things.
    
    	My Father and I went to see the Purple Rain movie and liked it 
    	a lot, so for my Birthday (probably 1984 or 1985) he bought me 
    	a ticket to the show.  I thought it was awesome!  
    
    	I have 3 Prince cassettes.  Purple Rain, 1999, and Delerious.	
    	
    	My favorite songs are "Purple Rain" and "Take me With You"
    	although, I always liked "The Beautiful Ones" ...so true.  

Incidentally, here's a blatant plug for WERS Coffee House - this
is a terrific acoustic morning show...I set my clock radio alarm
to it.  It's community radio - non-commercial, not even PBS, and
run by Emerson College in the Back Bay.  Their programming is
really diverse, so you don't always hear the same kinda thing -
that means that sometimes you'll turn them on and hear stuff you
don't really care for, but once you get in synch with their
schedule, they're terrific.

I can do without the Polka hour, but my daughter gets a kick out
of their children's program on Sunday evenings, and like I said,
the Coffee House is M-F, 6am-11am, and really terrific.

End of plug.

    Hey Tim I'm maybe going to see Michael Hedges at the Iron
    Horse next Wed... you interested?  He's got a new album
    but I don't think it's out yet.

    RE: Prince
    
    All those "I love disco" notes should be in the TRUE CONFESSIONS
    topic, along with LeBlank's secret PhisH tape collection.
    
    RE: WERS
    
    Only station worth listening to ('cept for their disco slot ~7pm)
    In addition to the coffee house, the lunchtime JAZZ slot is
    great! (No KennyG, it's *real* jazz)   :-)
    BUT if you listen to the coffee house more than a couple times a
    week, you'll notice too many repeats. 
    Sat nights has the SOUL BUCKET. I've heard it once or twice...
    James Brown et al. Good time soul music. 
    
    
    But for some strange reason, it always comes down to DEAD tapes
    with me.  :-)
    

    wers, what's the frequency kenneth, er, tim?

>    wers, what's the frequency kenneth, er, tim?

88.9

  Actually I hear Prince more as post-funk, or black rock, than disco...
  Kind of a sum of his influences, which include James Brown, P Funk, Jimi
  Hendrix, Joni Mitchell.  I like his guitar stuff best (albums like Purple
  Rain).  IMO he has as much rock potential as anyone around, but appears to
  be frittering it away.  Anyway...

  What I really wanted to talk about...

> David Murray & his Big Band @ the Knitting Factory, NYC
> Space -> Dark Star

  Is this a boot?  I know there's a '95 commercial release of David Murray
  that's supposed to be very good, but that's not it.  (Name is "Jag
  <something>".)

  Someone else mentioned Murray @ Knitting Factory to me, I'd like to seek
  it out.   - Jay

re: Murray @ the Knitting Factory

Yes, it's a boot. The Shakedown Street closer of the early show's quite 
good as well. I can spin it up for you. Let me know.

He has a CD coming out shortly title Dark Star which is, obviously, Dead 
covers. Don't know if it's live or studio but it has Sapce, Dark Star, 
China Doll & Shakedown on it (maybe others).

    Check out ROCKERS...5-8 pm every mon thru fri..all reggae program
    If you hate dancehall steer clear except on wed and one other
    night i can't remember..those are the Rootsy shows, even tho they sprinkle 
    the other 3 nites with some roots...
     that coked up-dub spouting poop is on the rest of the time
    
    and get this...NO commercials

Shit, BARNEY would kick his ass...;-)

Yea,  ERS is a great station.  They have some blues on some nights ....
Rockers is best - I like the Dancehall stuff LeBlanc just ragged
on.  I love the roots stuff too though..

Gangsta rap right after Rockers at 8 so be careful.

Soul night's cool too.  

Best not to mention James here though :)

    re Dave Murray

    sometime this summer.  Anyone else know anything about it?

Speaking of "a disk of all Dead covers..."

I'd really like to hear the David Murray too....

But has anyone seen the album out of all reggae bands covering
all dead tunes?  I've heard about it and can't wait to hear it...
especially after hearing Winston doing "Estimated" on Deadicated.

I've been getting into JGB lately.
actually, my JGB collection has alwayts been quite weak, and
i just have not had the time to deal with getting more
JGB tapes.  JGB has had their very hot moments!!
so, if you have good JGB in the '76-82 timeframe, give
me a shout.  i have lots and lots and lots of low,low,low gen
dead from '70-'77 .. and some good stuff from the 90s as well
all to trade.
send me mail.
once again, i'm behind in here and probably won't have a lotta
time to note for a while (ccccccccccccrunch is comin'...)

[actually, i just got a new DECpc for home P133,40mb,3.0GBdisk, NT and

    "Rough Mix", by Pete Townsend and Ronnie Lane.  Heard this out of the
    blue in a music store last week, and then the recent Townsend post in
    here clinched it.
    
    Have you ever heard something that you absolutely loved years ago and
    thought to yourself "why did I ever stop listening to it???"  I guess
    in many cases it's a disappointment when you encounter one of these old
    friends, but a few classics have stood the test of time.  This forgotten
    gem from the 70's is back in my regular rotation.
    
    /rick
    

    re .-1
    
    agreed, a classic! Now I have to go find it. I had "Misunderstood"
    going through my head all of last week.

    alanis morrisette - to me a really powerful voice, an insightful
    writer, and great stylist.  she bends her words and her voice is really
    interesting ways.  and i love her 'in your face' stuff.
    
    
    

yeah, alanis is pretty intense, and definitely 'in your face' !!

one angry person, at least judging by her lyrics.

    big change from her days as  a debbie gibson bubble gum pop singer in
    canada

i'd be curious to hear what she was like in that stage...

			da ve_who_has_mixed_feelings_on_alanis

well, Alannis certainly Looked a lot different...she had that Big Hair pop star
look...DRAMA does 1 of her toonz, it's a blast to play, and it usually gets a
pretty good reaction...

WO

    
    re - Atlantis
    
    I saw her on some talk show.  She spoke of how she was never satisfied
    with a man unless she had stolen him from another woman.
    
    fascinating.

To me, Alanis sounds like Minnie Mouse on steroids...but what do I
know...;-)

    yeah she goes against the grain in a lot of ways.  that bothers people
    
    

    kinda like the sound of fingernails being drawn down a classroom sized
    chalkboard to others
    :^)

    Not one of my favorites, have listened to her album with an
    open mind but....

    my kids like her...sorta...they are also getting into Pink Floyd's old
    stuff...i prefer that....%^)
    
    i still haven't (and haven't really tried) figgered out exactly which
    song is about that special "job" she does.....
    
    
    rfb_who agrees with the chalkboard analogy

    yeah - chalkboard.  like some folks say about dylan/janis etc. in my 
    not humble opinion at all  :-)  

>    yeah - chalkboard.  like some folks say about dylan/janis etc. 

	like some people say about Jerry

	I drove with my kids to CT this Sunday, and they left all
	sorts of their stuff in the car.  This morning I was grabbing the
	tapes that they left in the rear window so they wouldn't be
	left in the sun - one was Alanis Morrisette...welll, with

	listen on the way home...

re: rfb

Alanis sings about "the favor" in All I Really Want. 

I got that disc a couple of months ago, and like a few songs on it but
it doesn't get a whole lot of time in my cd players.  I definitely like
her attitude though, like how do you really feel ?  ;-)

/Ken

    
    Huh.  Never noticed AM's attitude.  I don't like her yodeling
    in that "one hand in my pocket" song though.

	-she- yodels?!  what's with this yodeling - the young woman
	who opened for Dylan in April (Jewel) yodels too...

	who woulda -ever- thunk it!

Jewel...  i want to check her disc out... i like what little i've heard,
and i enjoy her hit about "who's going to save your soul"...

and fwiw, when i think of yodelling, the noise that these two
singers make ain't quite what comes to mind...  ymmv

				da ve 

    I'll check out All I Really Want closer.....

are you sure it's "all i really want" and not "you ought to know"??

    
    checked out a tape a friend had this weekend on the wat to fish'n.

        opposed to alanis' voice cracking thing.

    Poppa Chubby is excellent......definitely a musician to check out
    see him listed on multiptle reggae bill acts alot of times

    Back to the yodeling topic:
    
    Love the way that Jerry does it on "Blue Yodel #9" on that JG Almost
    Acoustic disc!

> are you sure it's "all i really want" and not "you ought to know"??

Thanks, I realized I gave rfb the wrong song and was just wracking my 
brain trying to remember the correct name...

AIRW is a good tune too though.

/Ken

    I'm sorta familiar with "You Oughta Know", not with the lyrics but the
    tune...groan...sorta like a bad porno movie...the title is better than the
    flick itself...
    
    i will check out the lyrics to this tune though, just to see what all
    the hub-bub is about

    i did not know there were bad porno movies

    Ok, OK....lets just say some are better than others!! %^)

    RE: .541   and take it from him - he knows!
    
    several great tunes on 'jagged little pill'.  one i like is "You Learn"
    in which she encourages risk taking andstepping outside the box you
    should pardon the digital expression.  like go ahead - walk around
    naked in your living room; stick your foot in your mouth (not all at
    the same time presumably) once ina awhile; you live you learn you laugh
    you learn you cry you learn youscream you learn 
    
    you get the IDEA

    John Kahn rips through an intersting solo then 
    chatters the rafters (an expression for when bass

    usually only aquired thru 6 string) as Jerry 
    segways back in.  Crowd goes totally ape.
                                         

    Arabia from the Garcia/Grisman CD  from '91...
    
    I love almost anything with a Mediterranean twist!
    Great *Thrill Is Gone*, too.
    
    /b

  I've been stumbling onto a lot of great stuff I had no idea about...
  
  One is Gillian Welch.  I think a few readers of this conference are
  familiar with the likes of Alison Krauss and Iris Dement.  Gillian Welch
  is kind of like Dement in that she writes her own stuff, some of it with
  an "old time" quality and sense of values...  But with a vocal sound
  that's closer to Krauss.  (She's different than both -- not sure why I
  lump them together.  Guess it's the folk-wunderkind hype...  8)

  The album everyone seems to be talking about is "Revival", produced by
  T-Bone Burnett.  For all its Appalachian bluegrassy qualities, it also has
  electric or larger ensemble cuts that are weird little sidetrips.  High
  lonesome keening 'morphs into reverb-heavy whining.  The front porch meets
  the basement, as I said in my comments in FOLK_MUSIC.

  If you're intrigued, have a look at COOKIE::FOLK_MUSIC topic 1176 or so.
  The base note is an excellent description (from someone much more current
  with the folk music buzz)...  - Jay

    I've been listening to Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On" a lot lately. 
    I'd heard and liked the hits before (the title track and "Mercy, Mercy
    Me") and finally picked up the CD.  It's an extremely powerful,
    although depressing, and personal piece of work.  Gaye put it together
    during a hiatus after his Motown singing partner died.  Berry Gordy
    didn't want to release it at first, but he did and it's regarded as one
    of the best LPs of all time.
    
    Jamie

re: Gillian Welch

funny that.  I've never heard her, or at least that I know of (sometimes
when I'm buying gas and WBUR cuts out, or they're heavy into donation
time, I'll change to WCUW, Worcester community radio, and hear some 
folk that don't get identified till after I'm beyond station range),
But I did run across that note in FOLK_MUSIC.  And I only found 
that by checking out this internal WEB page that shows everyone's
note writing activity.  A little scary that, but I checked in grateful,
and Barnes is the most active noter I think.  Oddly enough, or perhaps not
so oddly, several people no longer here are listed in the top 25 noters,
Phylis(s), Bob Bailey, Slashmon/, etc.  But I was poking in other 
peoples business to see where else they hang out.  Home_brew came in
for a lot, not too surprising.  But I found at least Danielle had checked
out FOLK_MUSIC, which lead me to track that down, and hence found out
the Gillian Welch note, and Jay's reply (hey, I know that name!)
Which may, in the course of time (and money) lead me to check out 
her album.

But, if you liked Gillian, but were not that enthused over Iris,
have you heard Dar Williams yet?

PeterT

What have I been listening too lately?

Black Crowes latest - 3 snakes and a charm.  Great disk.
Also,  a 3 song "ep" by them....with an excellent cover of Marley's
"Pimper's Paradise" ... heard it live...better on the disk!

Steve Earle's last .... very good.

DP2 (still),  DP5.

Various live tapes; thanks to JC and Josh as well as Mike and Jeff.

Pumpkin's last EP- Zero.  ok.

Neil's latest - very good.

that's about it.....

> But, if you liked Gillian, but were not that enthused over Iris,
> have you heard Dar Williams yet?

  Actually I am enthused over Iris Dement (and Alison Krauss too).
  It was base noter Charlie Hall who's Iris-challenged.  (Un-Demented?)
  
  Anyway - who's Dar Williams?  If there's another overhyped folk
  wunderkind, I gotta hear 'em.    8)    - JayC.

    Hey Jay, how about Francis Dunnery, ever heard of him?

Francis Dunnery...not familiar with his music, but he was mentioned on the
Genesis newsletter, "Paperlate" As a possible new singer for the band, and he
got glowing reviews from the Genesis fans who know his music...gotta check him
out.

Wes

>    Hey Jay, how about Francis Dunnery, ever heard of him?

  Nope.   Francis Dunnery, Dar Williams, no clue...   - JayC.

if'n you're interested in folk wunderkind's, you might want
to check out Mica Richards...  i heard her over my vacation...
she was the feature act at the open mic at the plantation
club...  she's a 22 year old piano player with a big voice...
kinda pretty too, if that matters...  some were making 
comparisons to Carol(e?) King...  maybe a little bit...
bluesier though...

    re - Mica Richards
    
    >kinda pretty too, if that matters...  some were making

Who is Dar?

Singer/Songwriter who grew up in Westchester NY, now based out of Western
MA.  Great voice, decent guitar work, amazing lyrics.  Her second album
came out recently, Mortal City.  Her first album, The Honesty Room was
originally put out by herself, but I think was then picked up and
with some additional songs, was re-released.

Her web page (you can judge cuteness yourself ;-)

http://www.panix.com/~tneff/dar/

I haven't seen a lot of changes on this one for a while, but if you've
never seen it before, it has lots of interesting stuff.  

I'm a big fan of Iris, and Nanci Griffith, and the like, but Dar's
currently at the top of that list.  Looks like she's out in 
the Midwest and Canada at the moment.  I'd love to see her
live someday. 

PeterT

  Thanks...  3 new wunderkinds to check out, not bad for a day's fishin'.

  Someone in FOLK_MUSIC observed that predominantly guys seem to go loopy
  over Iris.  Some particular quality (of mind no doubt) seems to be
  attracting 'em...    8)

  Don't know if that's true about the "guy" portion of Iris Dement's
  audience, but I do know my girlfriend and a couple girl <pause> friends
  aren't nearly so taken with her as I am.  I woulda thought songs like No
  Time To Cry and the songs about her dad woulda done the trick, but they
  only "liked" her.
  
  Perhaps they were residually frosty from hearing me call them girls...  8)
