  • Two Pauls in Boston

What’s not to like? Jimmy Warburton‘s tape (shnid-16461) blew my mind when it came out – a revelation. We were still erroneously calling “Valdez In The Country” “Bossa Martin”, and wearing onions on our belts, which was the style at…

    5/10/72, con’t I have a million thoughts on these things while pedaling, but they spin away in the wind before I can commit them anywhere. I thought this show started off very slowly, with an especially bad China > Rider. But in Next Time You See Me (I think – could have been Big Boss…

    Hm – Bickershaw left me a little cold. I had this Star > OO etc. as top-shelf material, but it didn’t do much of anything for me. Lovelight was kinda lackluster. IMO, YMMV, etc. On to 5/10/72, which is starting off pretty sleepy and clunky to these ears. China > Rider goes nowhere, at any…

    5/7/72, Bickershaw, have just finished set I. Plenty of good stuff here. Birthday Boy Billy K drives a very intense PITB. Good Lovin is another good one, with Pig again fixin’ to do some greazin’.

    5/4/72 is good, but not as good as the previous night. “You Win Again” and “It Hurts Me Too” back-to-back killed my buzz. “He’s Gone” again reverses the cat on a tin roof and nine mile skiddin verses, to ill effect. I think he’s figuring out that the other was it better. On the other…

    It’s fun listening to these things in such a way that I can’t note times or what have you. I retain a lot less information, but maybe I enjoy the music more than I would if I were taking notes. 4/29/72 con’t I really liked the Dark Star > Sugar Mag > Caution – what’s…

    4/29/72 in the great city of Hamburg. First set seemed good, nice “Good Lovin’” again. He’s Gone needs and will eventually get some re-arranging, or he has just been getting a few things wrong, like the order of the “nine mile skiddin’” and “cats on a tin roof”. Maybe a little of both. Just heard…

    4/26/72, at the Jahrhundert Halle in Frankfurt, is a monster show. No wonder most of the show figured as the first post-Garcia live Dead release, Hundred Year Hall. The 36-minute “The Other One” has not an ounce of fat. At one point Phil is doing a little waltz that sounds like the bastard child of…

  • The Quick at San Quentin

    http://www.sfgate.com/music/article/LSD-king-Owsley-Stanley-s-Sonic-Journals-11209700.php And Bear was there taping. I assumed immediately this was 2/15/68, partly, I am sure, in hope that this means that the Quick sets from the Pacific Northwest Tour were taped. Hamina hamina. That said, I don’t see any reference to Quick guys in the various reports of this gig. ! deadlists: http://deadlists.com/deadlists/showresults.asp?KEY=2/15/68 !…
