I was at both shows at Alpine in '82 (amazing!), and a few months later saw the sun rise during their show at the Jamaica World Music Fest. If I recall, they played from sometime after 4AM until about 7AM. Looks like I'll be dipping into my archive of 80s Dead shows.

One of my favorite Phil & Friends lineups, 11/14/14, Larry Campbell, Teresa Williams, Joe Russo, Jeff Chimenti, John Kadlecik.  .  Audio and video aren't the best quality, but the performance is wonderful.  And two nice looking Alembics on stage!

Listening to that darn train horn from Buffalo!
 
Sad thing is I usually enjoy the sound of a train . . . .

Dave , that is a great show , Thanks  
 
Paul , I live miles from the tracks and also can hear the trains . I can hear the subway as well . The nice trains I like a bit better then the subway. ___ When I lived in San Francisco I loved the evening fog horn symphony. Mechanical frogs !

This time of year always makes me think of people who've gone home.  
 
I'd forgotten about this, and happened to think of it the other day.  Two legends from Mississippi who made good, and another reminder that great singers and musicians can do justice in situations we might not ordinarily imagine them, and that they do listen to other artists and other things:
 

 
The affection is obvious.  For the 'who played what', read-the-back-jacket types like me:
 
Don Was, producing  
Kenny Aranoff, drums
Willie Weeks, bass
the late Barry Beckett (from Muscle Shoals) on piano
Reggie Young, guitar
 . . . and the other cats I'm afraid I don't know.

But then again . . . . . Robert always had a big man-crush on Elvis, and this Honey Drippers track with Beck AND Page-y is absolute, incontrovertible, undeniable truth that 'it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing', a sadly lacking aspect of groove in this digitized and quantized world.  Sample Rates can't Swing !
 

 
Can't help myself, it's just way more fun than 'Immigrant Song'.  I'm trying to imagine Vikings doing the jitterbug in the land of ice and snow . . . . .

I was there in the crowd at this show  @ Keystone  Berkeley;  JGB  11/17/75

Nice groove, Wolf!  I have the vague recollection of having played this tune in a band in the mid 90's.

Dave , I am Glad you like it. An aspect of what I like about this incarnation of  the JGB is the line up of Musicians ( yes , with a capital M ).Nicky Hopkins piano work is steller in my opinion in this genre, I always liked what he played . Ron Tutt on Drums and John Kahn on Bass paved that grooooooooovy road  for Jerry and Nicky to lay their musical reflections down in a very unique way that was the JGB in essennce and roots  .

I truly appreciate John Kahn's approach to all things groovy.

Groovy in the extreme!  I once heard an interview in which Jerry said [Weir's] playing provides the only context in which my playing really makes any sense., but I've always thought he was sorta OK in this context, too.........
 
In re: Mr. Hopkins - Edward The Mad Shirt Grinder.  Need I say more??
 
BTW, I mistyped in my post 1807 above; it should say 8-8-82 (the 22 stuck in my mind because 6-22-85 was the show I took my 6-week-old youngest son to; yeah, he grew up hip & mellow)
 
Peter (who'll spend today with Car Talk, Wait  Wait don't Tell Me, This American Life, and Prairie Home Companion

Peter:
 
It's comforting knowing that if the two of us were ever stranded on a desert island that got good reception, we could easily share a radio.
 
How about guitar talk - don't play like my brother!  and Carl Kasell will play riffs on your home digital recorder!
 
hehehehe
 
Bill, tgo

Just received Joni Mitchell's 'through yellow Curtains'. Recorded live at the Second fret in Philadelphia between 1966 and 1968 they are probably the earliest decent recordings of Joni before she made it big. Her singing voice is incredible as you'd expect but what makes the package special are her numerous anecdotes. there's a little background tape hiss but it certainly doesn't detract from the performance. If you like Joni, you'll love this recording.

Stevie Nicks' new album. Michael Rhodes on bass...
