    Each GD year has a "project" on bt.etree that is almost always seeded, if the individual source that you want doesn't have seeders.

    so i have a question about these 50th anniversary sets and I brought it up sorta once before. is the live stuff they have been using so far from shows that they don't have the complete show in the vault? is that what will probably happen for American beauty and workingmans dead?

    Yes 11-2 just sounds like a slower version of the Feeling Groovy jam (or maybe an embryonic version of the Uncle John's Band jam they'd break out a week later at the Fillmore?)

    I've often though the UJB intro and Feeling Groovy are related. Kissing cousins at least, it can't be coincidence that UJB was written at the same time they started playing the Feeling Groovy jam inside of Dark Star most of the time.

    How good is the bonus material on the 50th Aoxomoxoa anniversary release?

    I really enjoy the live cd and I never heard the original mix so its A+ for me. the sound of the live disc matches most other pre 1969 live material that's been released

    The cowbell really can’t be mixed any louder on the Caution I’m listening too from the bonus material!!

    Subject: Dark Star Only The Beginning Jam Eyes Tease
    Easily, the most variegated and immense Dark Star, for me, at this writing.

    Towards the end of Dark Star they whittle themselves into a chorus of the hit record of the day "Only The Beginning" by Chicago. There's no vocals but you can't help but add them yourself.


    He goes on to the call "Soulful Strut" (faux-TIghten Up) an "Eyes tease," but who knows...I vaguely remember "Only the Beginning," but I need to play it and compare

    OK, no, it's Soulful Strut that sounds like "Only the Beginning," not the other bit. So maybe there is an Eyes tease, in any case...I'll check for that. But no light on the first jam.

    EDIT eyes tease maybe he means around 18:37 but I don't really think so

    I need to listen more but my initial impression when the 50th came out was that I liked the remixed Aoxomoxoa better (I’ve only really compared the different mixes of Stephen, Doin’ That Rag, and Rosemary so far). Either way it’s definitely great and fun to listen to both and compare. I’ve only listened to the live stuff on the bonus disc once so far, but with a Clementine and New Potato (I’ve really become a Potato Head lately) it’s definitely right up my alley.

    Anyway, now I’m about to check out, in full, that Dark Star that’s been the topic of late (11-2-69).
     
  20. <New Potato definitely has that "Who Are The Flower People" thing going for it

    Sounds like someone dropped The Beach Boys into what they thought was a meat grinder but was actually a kaleidoscope.

    Excellent, thank you kindly Bro! :tiphat:

    Heh... Winamp is probably THE oldest music player out there. It has a very simple interface which I like. And, I've collected hundreds of skins cataloged by different themes (and even for some obsessive reason, modified the art work on some of the sexy Anime skins to restore the picture behind the EQ bars!)

    I am NO artist, but a simple example: (in cases where the Lady is showing more loveliness, I've gone to more trouble :))

    [​IMG]

    Anyway, I knew that if you are playing songs from a folder you can render them (as opposed to just playing them) from Winamp to different file types. So, just as a guess I right-clicked the songs and chose 'Send to' and selected FLAC output so that there would be no further compressing, and BINGO!

    B---I---N---G---O, B---I---N---G---O, B---I---N---G---O, and Bingo is my name! [​IMG]

    Fortunately that particular page had the M3u file, which is the playlist that Winamp uses. So, in DLing that and loading it, all the songs load from online into the player. It was great finding this out so that if I can snag the M3u files of any playlist online in the future, I will THEN be able to DL the songs!

    I believe that I did join Lossless Legs a while back. That is good to know, too, that I can do a specific torrent search for the recording, thanks!

    Someone calling that an "Eyes" tease is akin to calling every jazz standard written in a Major key an Eyes tease. The earlier jam you asked about (starting shortly after 19:00) sounds to me like a Jefferson Airplane thing, but it might just be improv. There are two parts to it; 1) Phil plays a descending line; and 2) Phil plays a line that initially descends and then goes down to the b7 and then up to the tonic. It feels like something Airplane would do (very Jorma), but I can't place it.

    As for the Soulful Strut, Phil clouds the issue somewhat by playing A to D, while the chords are clearly A to Bmin. Much like what he does in Dark Star. Dark Star sounds like A to G upon first hearing, but Phil is voicing the actual second chord of the progression (Emin) in first inversion. Same thing on this version of Soulful Strut.
