Sitting around, playing rhythm guitar. Instrumentals, from Blake & Rice, Volume 2 is master class. 

Father's Hall-

Bright Days-

I think Nancy composed both of these. I need to check the liner notes. I'm fairly sure it's her playing mandolin on the second one, but she and Norman play so much alike on guitar and mandolin that it's often hard to tell.

We're in luck!  The liner credits are on their Wiki page.
Nancy wrote "Father's Hall", Norman wrote "Bright Days".  She is credited for "mandolin, cello, vocals"; nothing about which songs which of them played what on.
Sounded right tasty no matter what the specifics.

The first single from Rumours, "Go Your Own Way" came out a couple months before the record album, today... Feb. 4th, 1977

Not a professional video, but a nice performance.  John Mayer, Don Was, and Jeff Chimenti play an acoustic version of Terrapin Station, last Friday night at Los Angeles Convention Center.

Manages to fit in with Los Lobos perfectly while still sounding exactly like Jerry - and on a 335, which I'd never seen him play before; pure Garcia!

Thanks, Phillip; I hadn't thought of Mark-Almond, or its component parts, for many years.  Nice to be reminded of how good they were!

Many thanks Peter

You got me thinking this past week,

not everyone will be honest enough and admit it , but the Dead influenced countless bands and artists

Take the Danish band "Culpeper's Orchard" for example, from 1972

Before he played his white Moon LG Signature axes, Larry Graham worked in a great Bay Area band . . . .
