  • Deadsources Index

    Somehow it had eluded me that LIA was maintaining an index of posts at Deadsources. Wonderful – thanks!

  • Tighten Up

    The “Tighten Up” jam has always been a favorite. I am partial to the 1/2/70 and 10/31/71 versions, always wondered where the heck that last one came from since it’s so well-developed while not having been played in well over a year (and never before with Keith, AFAIK). Just here to note that the wonderful…

  • I Need More Shows

    This was posted to youtube five years ago. I am not sure who made it, but it never gets old, and never will.

  • Taper Extraordinaire Sean Webber-Small

    Spinning Sean Webber-Small’s spaced omni recordings of the GD at Cal Expo on this date in 1990. I am not sure if I was there – I don’t think so, but I can’t really remember and I can’t find my stubs to verify one way or the other. But SWS generously shares some insights into…

  • Linear Dead Listening

    I am a bicycle commuter (19 miles a day), and I generally listen to Dead shows while pedaling. Awhile back, I did the whole E72 tour consecutively. Earlier this year, I ran sequentially through 1974. So much good music. I don’t really retain too many specific memories, so just a few observations. The February Winterland…

  • GD Frost ’85 matrix

    Man, this recording from TDIH sounds nice to these ol’ ears.

  • Poynette

    Let me just remind you on the show’s 49th birthday that three years after the fact, a program called “Studio None” on cable channel 4 in Madison apparently broadcast footage of the Dead and Baby Huey from the [4/26/70] gig. The listing refers to “the 1969 Poynette Rock Festival”, but I think this must be…

  • RIP, Freddie

    Just back onto the grid and I see that Freddie Herrera has passed on. Rest in peace, Freddie. I am sure he and Sandi are thrilled to be back together again. Has anyone seen an obituary? Here is link to my Freddie Herrera tag: http://jgmf.blogspot.com/search/label/Freddie%20Herrera I had the chance to sit with Sandi and Freddie some…

  • Popper on Ignorance

    “The more we learn about the world, and the deeper our learning, the more conscious, specific, and articulate will be our knowledge of what we do not know, our knowledge of our ignorance” (Popper 2002 [1963], 38). “our knowledge can be only finite, while our ignorance must necessarily be infinite”  (Popper 2002 [1963], 38). “while…

  • RIP to the Legendary Marty

    Martin Weinberg has passed away. LIA gives a rundown on the ur-Deadhead taper.
