Mike :  These recordings are raw and unmixed. I will replace those with the mixed ones once they are  finished. There is nothing really wrong with these but a little spit and polish....maybe a little verb er somethin.....Kevin did a really great job as always.

Shakedown –

Geez, starts a little rough, not rough but loose I guess is the word.  Adam’s first song to sing so he is getting his footing and really is singing nice by the 2nd verse. What we call the “C Jam” where we vamp over the chorus is the first of these stratospheric moments  I wrote about before in the other band blog. Absolutely insane to a point where we come back to earth all smooth like.  4 people singing is Pisser.

Scarlet –

Goes great until I fuck the lyrics up. Mumble mumble…..that's the loneliest time as a singer. Especially when you can’t even make sounds that could be mistaken for the right words. There were songs in Borrowed Time I did, before the Internet and lyric sites, where I would mumble whole verses I couldn’t figure out.   The coolest thing is now that we record 8 tracks and separate things I can go back and try to fix that vocal ala Europe 72. (Yes E72 is overdubbed. Most of the vocals and all of Merl Saunders B3 organ. Yes that's Merle believe it or not.) Why the heck not try it, we have the technology.........we can rebuild it. 

Nice lead Adam.  Fluid.

The intro to the Fire jam is incredible.  Every texture you can imagine. Weird Manzarek keyboards from Katie, Pete and Jason are dropping bombs,  Pino is just running and running with the bass all while Adam just flails over it and I can’t even tell what I was doing half the time.  That is mind blowing.

Then BAM, we hit …

Fire -
 drastically but really nicely……………

Solid Fire. Not always one of my favorite songs to do but I had a good feeling about this one and it’s every bit as good as I thought.  Adam gets an A+ for shred factor and nailing the Jerry riffs. After we end Pino says over the mic
If someone doesn’t have sex with Adam tonight I may  have too, that was fuckin awesome!!!!”

Yikes. haha.

Aiko - 

 Solid Aiko, it’s a wonder why we don’t do this more often. Nice vocals at the end.

Eyes of the world –

 Pino starts it off on the bass sweetly. Very nice.  Great jams, great leads by both Adam and Katie.  This is a real good Eyes….needs a better mix tho……
Into a weird spacey jam………drums a little…..then

The Other One -
pino absolutely wails in the first jam. Him and Adam are just battling back and forth. This is one of those times I spoke of….we just bounced off the freakin moon.

Not fade Away –

Starts nice. Kev captured this nice and these are only rough mixes. Crazy jam in NFA. Pino pushes it around while I am changing amps. I forgot I blew my amp.
Update : Therefore there is very little me on the rest of these recordings, as I changed amps and not the mic with the amp.  Suck. Luckily we had brought it an extra…Pushed into a jam that’s sounds like The Jefferson Airplanes “Revolution”. Yes, there goes Saturn………and it’s totally “Revolution”.

GDTRFB  -

 is real nice. 3 part harmonies going.  There goes Pluto. Un-frickin real. Pino and Adam going at it sonically……down…to just 4 part harmonies….Fuckin revival meeting singing!!!! We skip the bid you goodnight outro and go Right into……………………..

Good Lovin –

Hot early Dead GL beginning. Everybody singing………….
Early C  jam that starts slow and builds into an absolute monster….started by Pino of course……
Pino does his Pino rap, about playing beer pong. I will say I am ear to ear smiling as I listen,…..but Pino has done better maybe I think…it’s funny and I love Pino when Pino does his Pino’ism’s. But Beer Pong?  I don’t know …..jam….here we go again……..”took another shot on the table, then I new I was able….”. hahaha , that’s great….. ”Has the beer pong disease……went to the DR…” Holy shit…he got back to the songs subject and segued into the “Jump on the Pony and Ride” Pigpen rap. Brilliant.  Wicked jam on the way out of it too……oh wait…..rapping again about his Dr. and being old……then he gets sentimental……."would be home wearing  pink slippers and watching Lifetime" (Double yikes). “There is no other place I would rather be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I stand corrected.  Classic Pino.

Great singing on the way out.

 Encore : Casey Jones – Solid Casey. Adam takes his second lead voc and does a nice job with it.  Great backing vocs too. Adam rips the lead……………………..

Mike :     Another of my “Wake up and find a nice soundboard  Deadshow ” This show is well played, recording is A+, real nice show for your listening pleasure. I've been diggin late 70's  shows recently, this one is a keeper.

Nice Jack Straw leads it off. Only problem is Jerrys vocs are a not  in the mix.  He tears it up tho in the lead.

Dire Wolf comes next, once again sans Jerry’s vocals which is a bummer.  Needless to say this almost derailed this blog entry.  But thankfully for you and me it didn’t cuz this is a hot show.

BIODTL is nice, nothing spectaclular.

Then one of my favorites Peggy-O  , especially when it’s sung with SOUL like Jerry does on this one (I knew a guy  who sang this song very plain,  used to make me wanna gouge my ears out!)  This one here is a beauty. Gorgeous, sweet and worth a listen.

Mama Tried shit kicks all the way through. Great version.  Jerry rips it up right on into………….

Mexicali….boogie boogie. Great version.

A little finniculi Finniculi is next.

Then Bobs gives the house  people shit about turning off the lights in the venue. Phil also says something about them, calls em “dummy”.

Row Jimmy is next. Lush lead and backing vocs.   Sweet version, even Donna sounds nice.

Minglewood has a great drum sound and Jerry RIPS it. Bob growls his way thru…..

A bouncy Loser is next…shit…… I’m gonna show this to the boys, no need to play this song as a dirge…….not that there was any reason but…..Jerry’s vocs are really nice. May be the best Loser lead I have ever heard. If you love this song like I do then listen to this version……

Lazy Lightning RIPS. Fans of the drummers will like this show and tune, crisp cans.
Jerry’s guit work during the “My Lightning Too!” part is smokin’!

Bertha Kicks off set 2 and allegedly Jerry Windmills ala Pete Townsend. Once again the drums are rocking.  Jerry is a little nasally (right after set break? No Waaaaay!) singing, but the lead is fluid and soars.

Good lovin has some late 60’s early 70’s Pigga feel at the beginning.  Once again. DRUMS, loud clear and booming. Rockin’ lead, you can hear the crowds approval.
A+ Good Lovin.

Must have been The Roses is sweet as usual.  Phil plays beautiful. In fact he has this whole show. Bright clear notes.

Eerie Estimated Prophet. Very Nice.  “This Afternoon the streets Turn Grey…..blah blah…” is a lyric I’ve never heard in this song,. cool
Into an    Eyes that is fantastic…...

Great Drumz. 

Here is a picture i found of Jerry playing Drumz with the boys this night.

Groovy Truckin. Sweet sweet Wharf Rat. Nice vocs Jer.
Around and Around with a weird Johnny B Goode jam that WAILS.  Then  a US Blues rounds it out. Great show.

Mike :
This is a show I came across surfing archive.org. The quality is crystal clear.  A  killer late 80's show. This is  one to crank up and groove.

A nice Box kicks it off . A bombastic Hell in a Bucket follows. Solid grooving Touch precedes a nice Rooster. One of my faves Far From ME follows and its a  real good one. The whole rest of the set does not disappoint. From Cumberland - Memphis Blues rocks - Push Comes to Shove to Cassidy.  solid 1st setlist.

 

2nd set highlights include one of the better Louie Louie's that they did back then. Brent screaches and moans and rocks. Crazy >> Samson does not disappoint nor does an upbeat Eyes of the World.  It grooves like crazy, noodles like a serpent slithering up your spine. Good stuff.

Freaky industrial  Drumz.

Throwing Stones makes you want to jump out of your seat and follow reverend Bob untooooo the promised land. 

Other One is delicious...................

Wharf Rat is it's usually heart tugging self.

Mike :
Pete and I saw a band called The Bridge opening up for DSO at Lupo's. The guy from The Bridge reminded me so much of Lowell George of Little Feat that I ended up searchin Archive for stuff. There is tons of it. Little Feat and Lowell have allot in common with The Dead. Most being Lowell produced the album "Shakedown St" right before his untimely death in 1979 at age 34.  CLICK HERE for his Wiki entry.  Also the reunited Feat opened for the Dead a few times  way back when in the early 90's I think.

This show is evidently ripped from an unavailable live album. Doesn't matter, it roars! Lowell is a sick slide player. Bill Payne an even sicker keyboardist.  One of the hottest bands ever and I am amazed when all people know is "Dixie Chicken". Lowell was a pure musical genius.

Things I learned about Lowell :
He played slide with a Sears & Roebuck 11/16ths spark-plug socket

He once fronted, for a brief period, The Standells of "Dirty Water" fame.

My favorites are Apolitical Blues, Two Trains. Sailing Shoes, Tripe Faced Boogie, Fat Man, Walkin all Night , On Your Way Down and Willin'.

This a klller show, great sound, great band. Enjoy it.

Ray  :

Of all the shows that I've been too (not many compared to most folks), I still consider this to be one of my favorites... This tour was special in that is was the reuniting of Bobby, Mickey, Phil and Bruce. Some folks in the BRW circle have heard the story about the evnts that led up to this show. The tickets for this went on sale on 5/2/98 at 12:30PM, how do I remember this so well... I was standing at the altar, waiting for my bride-to-be... with cell phone in hand, trying to get thru to ticketmaster to get tickets to this show.

Needless to say, I got my miracles... Both in my lovely wife and tickets to this show.



Highlights of this show were Loose Lucy , Estimated and Sugar Mag... Bobby is absolutely on fire during Estimated during the bridge... as well as the Sunshine Daydream, reprise. But what stood out the most for me was that this show was the show that FINALLY opened my eyes to a Mr Steve Kimock. I had heard about him before and didn't really give anything that was said much thought, then I heard the Hornsby song "White Wheeled Limosine"... Kimocks solo at the end of it was probably some of the best guitar work I had ever heard post-Jerry.

Whole show is amazing.  A garage version of Live Dead.

moving on to somehting else.....you can actually sing along to his playing
after a few listens
Other One>New Potato - rockin is an understatement - they must have

Other notes from Mike :
Bobby says: "Ok, we're gonna do a, we're gonna do a elementary dance number now. It's a foxtrot and it's also a ladies' choice" before Dark Star.
weird and loud percussion in DS jam.
Bob also says "Funniest thing I ever heard" during the silence right after "one man gathers what another man spills" .

Jason : My first show so probably a little biased. When you first look at the  setlist  it looks like your standard '80's run of the mill Dead show, but  their playing that night was phenomenal. (The night before, 4/2/87 was also  a hell of a show.) Remember, this was the spring tour where Jerry made his  comeback after being in a coma, and the crowd was absolutely on fire. They  opened with a rippin Hell in a Bucket --> a very nice Sugaree and then, even  though C.C. Rider could be a drag sometimes, even this one was unbelievable.
It Musta Been the Roses was really nice, Big Railroad Blues, Let it Grow,  and Don't Ease closed the set. 

The second set is where the shit really hits the fan. China Cat was  unbelievable, Jerry was so on in his leads and gave it everything he had.  I Know You Rider, the crowd was so into it...I thought the roof was going to  blow off the place when he shouted the "northbound train" line. Then a perfect Women are Smarter -- > Crazyfingers ( a nice treat). The way they  weaved their way into Samson from Crazyfingers.....an unbelievable jam.  Other One, Wharf Rat, Throwing Stones, Not Fade Away...all stellar  performances. The crowd was ecstatic, then they finished with U.S.  Blues...and Jerry says "Give me five, I'm still alive!" and we all danced  out of the place. While Jerry may have lost some skills after his coma, the
Centrum show crowd coaxed out one of his finest late eighties performances.

Jackie Greene - So Hard To Find My Way

Mike :

UPDATE:
that video got pulled. Here is a different one, same tune. If you get motion sickness WATCH OUT!

Jackie has been on tour with Phil and Friends this fall. When me and the boys saw them at the Boston Orpheum they did this tune. Catchy pop number, right up my alley. We are actually going to play it at Our Place on the 24th. Very talented dude Jackie  is. He plays guitar as well if not better than the piano and a really good voice to boot.  Found this version on You Tube. He was supposed to be back on Conan last  week as Phil and Friends were doing a 10 night run in NYC at the Nokia Theatre. but due to the writers strike he didn't play.

 Here is his website .

www.jackiegreene.com

Phil

http://www.phillesh.net/

He walks around with his hands in his pockets
got a picture of his baby on a chain in a locket
he needs her love so bad, but she�ll never know
cause he won�t ever tell her

and it�s so hard to find my way

Poor Richard�s got himself a banjo
he�s missing four strings but he ain�t even bothered
he says: �sunshine gonna come my way, look out
kid this might be my lucky day

and it�s so hard to find my way

red robin�s been a-workin in the kitchen
got everything she needs, but everything�s a-missing
she grew up with the radio, tattoo on
her hip is to remind her so....

that it�s so hard to find my way

I know a man who�s been working for the city
he pays his rent but his life is just a pitty
he says: �nothing�s gonna change around here,
im the same old man I�ve been for nearly 20 years�

it�s so hard to find my way

She turns heads wherever she�s a-walking
she never speaks she lets her body do the talkin�
she�s daddy�s little baby girl
but she ain�t living in daddy�s world

Mike
: The second best show I ever saw.
Could tell stories for days on this one.....
We had just seen Saratoga before and were  headed to Oxford Maine after.
Four of us  were in my little Dodge Omni, me, Jason and our friends Josh and Zat.  Zat twisted his ankle bad in Saratoga, within 5 minutes at Silver Stadium a  guy came along  with a crutch that he didn't need anymore.   As  Zat got higher, his ankle got better, and we crossed paths with a guy with a cane that needed a crutch, a trade was made.  Weird stuff like that happened the whole trip.
Silver stadium is a minor league ballpark. Very cool place to see a show.
This show was as close as I ever got. General admin and Jason and I snaked down right under Phil, maybe 7 people back.
Needless to say the opener of Box of Rain was incredible,  We could have spit and hit the stage.  And to have Phil singing right above us is an image I can bring back to my mind to this day....
Set 1 highlights are Box, Ramble on Rose and of course Far From Me.
Set 2 highlights were :
The only Green Onions ever played. Ripping China Rider.
Samson wails! Brings me right back.
Believe it or not.....some people wouldn't like Believe it or Not....I did.....passionate Jerry vocals...
This whole 2nd set is great, I may be biased, but thats ok!  Gorgeous Wharf Rat and Brokedown.
Man I love this show!
