Fare Thee Well
I just read Joel Selvin’s latest, Fare Thee Well: The Final Chapter of the Grateful Dead’s Long Strange Trip. I have seen many Deadheads bashing it, but I thought it was just fine. For better or for worse, but probably not surprisingly to readers of this blog, I haven’t paid much attention to the post-8/9/95…

Maybe someone is headed to Rome
Nice to see one person (via blogger stats) checking out possibilities for Free Caravaggio!

My First Dead Show
Now available in all kinds of good sound, including this 24 bit / 96 kHz pure sbd from Charlie Miller. This show was the first time in my life that I felt utterly unjudged by those around me.

Keystone Hardware, ca. 1976
For the gearheads out there. Billboard, March 13, 1976, p. SF-19, via http://americanradiohistory.com/. Oh yeah, the idea of a 15 minute drive from the City to Berkeley, at anything other than the dead of night, sure sounds quaint!

Probably gonna be slow for awhile

Just Like Wolfman Jack
Man, the Dead’s 3/26/73 show in Baltimore is the cat’s meow. Hearing Garcia grin behind his beard during Ramble on Rose, after Wolman Jack had just come out on stage and done his thing, is worth the price of admission — which, due to the miracle of Deadhead ingenuity and the internet happens to be…

Paper Inspiration
In the man-cave in which JGMF happens, I mostly work while facing this wall. My aim is to build a poster collection (which might, naturally, spill over onto other walls) with posters for as many Garcia On The Side configurations as I can. I don’t have a ton of money for this, so I often…

E72 post 06
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…

E72 post 05
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 !…
