Grateful Dead Dave’s Picks 2019 Subscription

I listen to as much ultra obscure guitar based improvisational music as I can find on this streaming thingy I just started doing.

Bill Nace
Bill Orcutt
Fred Frith
Ava Mendoza
Elliott Sharp
Henry Kaiser
Brandon Seabrook

All been played or to be played. Skronky pedal infested waters.

Right now nothing sounds better.

 

That reminds me to check out Bill Orcutt's new one!

 

I stay away from announcement to release every time, especially if it's a show I've never heard before.

 

You should consider buying something from your favorite of those artists' Bandcamp pages. None of those people are getting rich from streaming!

Also, check out Tashi Dorji.

 

Dorji with Tyler Damon & Dave Rempis is what got me into this bind in the first place

 

That's a good bind!

 

Tommy can you hear me?

 

Lived in Baltimore for 7 years, strangest accent evah! Mix of Southern and Jersey.

Waurder and warshing machine still stick in my craw hon!

Back on topic. Excited for this pick. Really cool star dark reverse.

 

Ha. indeed I buy exactly zero of them. When they lose the phony demand limited edition nonsense model then maybe I'll think about it. But probably not, I've had that show on cassette since 1996.

But I guess I haven't actually heard it because I haven't heard a new master of it on my 1990s vintage analog speaker system with the special amps and what not( I can't even do a credible satire of this,) woo!!! speakers@ !!!

 

You forgot the bit about modified crossovers.

 

Considering most of may 77 was released in two box sets, I would doubt this one gets the nod.

 

Best show of the month (4 May 1977).

 

Kuzu is a mighty fine trio, indeed!

 

That 5 show Palladium run surely would be a contender for a future box. You've only got 4/30 released as a download. That leaves 5/18 and 5/26 (and parts of 5/22, which really should come out as a deluxe DiP3) as the last of the unreleased May 77. Perhaps the lesser of all the shows, but still better than the whole of 86.

 

I would LOVE to see them live. The CD is burning hot.

 

Not a problem; most of those on Archive sound quite good indeed.

 

Or maybe October 2, 1977, from Portland (with some filler from the previous night's show)? That would make me very happy.

 

I would also absolutely vote with my wallet for a Palladium box set, and wouldn’t complain about the double dipping re. the previous download series release.

FWIW, I suspect the next Spring 77 DaP will be either Springfield or Philly, the beginning of the tour. I suspect Dave feels that either show are actually the ONE SHOW he’s always wanted to release, that almost made it many times but for any number of reasons, was not selected before...

 

I've noted this a few times here, and while DaP 31 won't go down in history as a great choice, the Terrapin--> Playin' segment is worth 100 listens. It's that good. Languid, and occasionally narcoleptic on Jerry's part, but well worth your time.

 

The whole show is quite languid, but it does have its moments as you have noted. Plus, there's 30 minutes of their more typically upbeat and fiery playing from the era as bonus material from 12/4/79 on disc 3, which is a good added bonus.

Perhaps 12/4/79 should've been the featured show, with the Terrapin>Playing from 12/3 as the bonus material.

IdunnoI'mnotDave.

 

Listening to it right now I've not heard this one before...

 

Hmmm... You know, not a bad song at all! Not my usual stuff, but there is something to it, kind of a nice groove, I don't know...

I'm glad you mentioned it, otherwise I likely would have skipped it. Some nice guitar in it... Nice find for me, thanks!

 

If they're going to release something else from 1977, please make it 10-6!

 

Do you have the PNW shows, including 6/22/73? If so, give that HCS a listen. Forget the vocal and skip to 3:05 and listen to how the instruments mesh. This is everything the GoGD were about. It encapsulates their philosophy quite nicely and is a fine listen (things get nice and wild at 7:00). Basically it echoes Jerry's statement that when Phil is on, the Grateful Dead are on. No truer words...
