Here's another list; still not comprehensive, but a decent start, I think.
This one has most of the same songs, but with more details.
Both leave off And We Bid You Goodnight (Sara Doudney/Ira David Sankey), among others.

No new ground being broken here, but nuthin wrong with some good old-fashioned roadhouse music!

Just heard about this kid (yes, kid, all of 11 years old) and I had to buy his album. Great player, great players on the record, great sounding record. One of my new favorites. His Giant Steps is especially good. If you just heard the music, you'd have no idea he can barely see over the piano. Some of it reminds me of Ahmad Jamal.

 This is amazing! Even his comping is great, beautifully in sync with the other musicians.  The arrangement is wonderful, as is his playing; effortlessly moving through the changes of Giant Steps as if they weren't there.
 
Thanks Edwin; I thoroughly enjoyed this!

OK, I enjoyed the Steve & Edie cut (man, there's a phrase I never thought I'd type......), but the words weren't right; isn't it When you get to Asheville, look Dave up and Jam?

Xander played air drums to most of it this evening!

Wow!
 
One of the comments about Joey sums it up nicely:
. . . an organic understanding of rhythm and musicality . . .
 
It makes me feel good when young people truly understand what music is about.

Out-takes from Fleetwood-Mac's Rumours.
 
I especially like Keep Me There, one of three unfinished songs that became what we know as The Chain. Love how John's line is based more off what Christine played on keys, than Mick's kickdrum, especially the intro and his signature melodic fills.  
 

 
I'm pretty sure even though this is an alternate take, it's the fretless (ahem - *continuously fretted*) Alembic... you can hear it pretty well in this mix. The part of this track from 2:44 out is supposedly what made it onto the album.

Weedeater 'Goliathan'; some of the most spitty, fuzzed-out bass ever with vocals to match-Dixie's vocal chords must be SO thrashed...and Sol Invictus', the new Faith No More album; so happy they're producing new music, such a good band...

slawie

It was mentioned in another thread about recording with Alembic, the band Sea Level.
I dusted off the old album and I am introducing their music to my 27 yo son.
No complaints so far.
As for me - I'm loving it!

OK, OK, I'm not listening to it now (unfortunately!), but I heard a phenomenal version of That's It for the Other One on Today In Grateful Dead history (Sirius XM) yesterday morning. It was from a rare show in June 1970 in Oahu, Hawaii. I'm usually not much into drum solos, but I thought the solo in that version was excellent and unique. At one point, you could hear Kreutzmann adding some vocalization of beats! Of course, I wanted to hear the moment when Phil blasts in with his bass intro, but the drum solo kept going. Alas, I had to go into work before it got to that point in the song! I figured I would find it on archive.org later, but it's not on there!
 
Has anyone heard this before? Great stuff!

David Houck

It looks like there were three shows in Oahu in June, 1970; the 10th, 12th, and 13th.  That's It for the Other One is not listed on the 13th.  I didn't see a set list for the other two.  The 10th, apparently at Diamond Head Crater, isn't even listed in some show lists, so this might not be it.  But here's what I found on the 12th:
 
6/12/70 Oahu - Not in circulation. Lemieux has played The Other One on the Taper's Section a couple times.
 
So I'm guessing that's what you heard.

mtjam

Yes, that's the one! Listening to 3-1-70 right now. Lemieux said he would play some of the show from the 13th soon.
